Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) leads to various nonmotor symptoms (NMS) that significantly impact the quality of life, but there's limited research on how these symptoms relate to disease severity, particularly in rural eastern India.
- This study examined the frequency and severity of NMS in 65 IPD patients, using charts and assessments like the Hoehn and Yahr scale and a validated NMS questionnaire over 18 months.
- Results revealed that common NMS included low mood, apathy, and concentration issues, with many symptoms significantly linked to the severity of the disease.
Study of Language Function in Bengali-Speaking Population with Motor Neuron Disease.
Ann Indian Acad Neurol
July 2024
Background: Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) have been traditionally considered to spare cognition. But recent findings show that multiple domains of cognition including language can be involved in MND patients. Most studies on language patterns of MND patients were conducted in Western nations, but data on Indian population is limited.

Methods: Fifty patients fulfilling the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV criteria of dementia and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke - Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences criteria for VaD were assessed using Mini Mental State Examination, Kolkata Cognitive Screening Battery and other relevant tests including magnetic resonance imaging of brain.
Background: Excepting amnesia, impairment of other domains also hampers the activity of daily living in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although prosopagnosia poses problem in interacting with other persons, it rarely causes problem during interaction with close relatives as known voice acts as cue for recognition.
Objective: In a cohort of AD, we planned to study errors in recognition, naming, and assigning relationship of close relatives, to assess the type and frequency of errors and to explain with current knowledge and hypothesis.
Pattern of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Indian Population.
Ann Indian Acad Neurol
January 2019
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and demographic profile, laboratory parameters and outcomes of Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients from Indian subpopulation.
Materials And Method: We did a prospective study on patients who fulfilled the revised diagnostic criteria for Primary pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in adults and children, proposed by Friedman et al in 2013. All patients were examined for BMI, papilloedema, extraocular muscle movement, opening CSF pressure and underwent MRI, MR venography of brain and perimetry.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative movement disorders and its incidence is increasing worldwide along with population aging. Previous clinical and histologic studies suggest that the neurodegenerative process, which affects the brain, may also affect the retina of PD patients.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the thickness changes of retina nerve fibers and macular volume with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in PD patients.
Introduction: Neurological diseases are very important causes of prolonged morbidity and disability, leading to profound financial loss. Epilepsy is one of the most important neurological disorders Healthcare seeking by epilepsy patients is quite diverse and unique.
Aims And Objectives: The study was conducted among the epilepsy patients, to assess their healthcare-seeking behavior and its determinants.
