Diagnosis and management of dementia with Lewy bodies: Third report of the DLB Consortium

Ian G. McKeith, +45 more
- 27 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) Consortium has revised criteria for the clinical and pathologic diagnosis of DLB incorporating new information about the core clinical features and suggesting improved methods to assess them as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consensus guidelines for the clinical and pathologic diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) Report of the consortium on DLB international workshop

TL;DR: This work identified progressive disabling mental impairment progressing to dementia as the central feature of DLB, and identified optimal staining methods for each of these and devised a protocol for the evaluation of cortical LB frequency based on a brain sampling procedure consistent with CERAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease A clinical and pathologic entity

TL;DR: The patients with LBs appeared to constitute a distinct neuropathologic and clinical subset of AD, the Lewy body variant (LBV), and there was an increase in essential tremor, bradykinesia, mild neck rigidity, and slowing of rapid alternating movements in the LBV group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered expression of synaptic proteins occurs early during progression of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Levels of synaptotagmin and GAP43 were unchanged in mild AD, but cases with CDR of >1 had a progressive decrement in these synaptic proteins, indicating that synaptic injury in frontal cortex is an early event in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of neuritic plaques and tangles to the development and evolution of AD.

TL;DR: The significant increase in neuritic plaques, but not neurofibrillary tangles, in patients with even mild Alzheimer disease at death compared with normal control subjects suggests that only neuritic Plaques are associated with the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer disease.
