Department of Neurology, Fukuoka University School of Medicine, Fukuoka, Japan.
Objective: To establish international diagnostic criteria for Perry syndrome, a disorder characterised by clinical signs of parkinsonism, depression/apathy, weight loss, respiratory symptoms, mutations in the gene and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology.
Methods: Data from the published literature and newly identified patients were gathered and analysed during and after the International Symposium on Perry syndrome in Tokyo to identify diagnostic criteria for Perry syndrome.
Results: Eighty-seven patients with Perry syndrome carrying mutations from 20 families were included in this study, and common signs of the disorder were identified, including parkinsonism (95.

Article Synopsis
- A 79-year-old woman with a lung mass was referred to the hospital after treatment for pneumonia revealed a persistent abnormal shadow on a chest x-ray.
- A chest CT scan identified a 7.6 cm solid mass likely invading the superior pulmonary vein, leading to a successful right pneumonectomy.
- Pathological analysis revealed the tumor to be a collision cancer made up of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma, both showing the same EGFR mutation, suggesting they may have originated from the same source.

Department of Neurology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, 1-1-1 Honjo, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto 860-8556, Japan.
Objectives: We retrospectively evaluated the decision-making process of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) concerning respiratory management with tracheostomy positive pressure ventilation (TPPV) in the future.
Patients And Methods: We investigated the clinical characteristics of 29 consecutive ALS patients who had been introduced to NPPV during a 7-year period from September 2001 to August 2008 at our institution. We evaluated whether they had decided or not to undergo respiratory management with TPPV when NPPV was introduced and compared the clinical characteristics of the patients in these 2 groups.
