Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease: report on a case originally diagnosed as dopa-responsive dystonia with Lewy bodies.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with a heterogeneous clinical picture characterized by the presence of eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions in neuronal and glial cells. We describe a case, reported 12 years ago as dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) with Lewy body pathology. Pathological re-examination has led to a revised diagnosis of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease.

Double-blind comparison of sertraline and placebo in stroke patients with minor depression and less severe major depression.

Survival time, mortality, and cause of death in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease: a 9-year follow-up.

This community-based study of Parkinson's disease (PD) investigated age at death and cause of death in a cohort of 170 previously studied patients. The current study is a 9-year follow-up, and the results are compared to 510 sex- and age-matched controls from the same area. A total of 170 patients were diagnosed with PD on August 31, 1989, within a defined area of Sweden.
