    Abstract We report a 68-year-old lady who presented with Huntington phenocopy with generalized chorea and was genetically proven to have Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)17. MRI Brain demonstrated motor band sign, which is most commonly reported in motor neuron disease. This is the first case of motor band sign with SCA 17 and highlights the widening spectrum of radiological signs in SCA 17.

    Abstract In the last half-century, Parkinson's disease (PD) has played a historical role in demonstrating our ability to translate preclinical scientific advances in pathology and pharmacology into highly effective clinical therapies. Yet, as highly efficacious symptomatic treatments were successfully developed and adopted in clinical practice, PD remained a progressive disease without a cure. In contrast with the success story of symptomatic therapies, the lack of translation of disease-modifying interventions effective in preclinical models into clinical success has continued to accumulate failures in the past two decades. The ability to stop, prevent or mitigate progression in PD remains the "holy grail" in PD science at the present time. The large number of high-quality disease modification clinical trials in the past two decades with its lessons learned, as well as the growing knowledge of PD molecular pathology should enable us to have a deeper understanding of the reasons for past failures and what we need to do to reach better outcomes. Periodic reviews and mini-reviews of the unsolved disease modification conundrum in PD are important, considering how this field is rapidly evolving along with our views and understanding of the possible explanations.

    Abstract Genetics are fundamental to understanding the pathophysiology of neurological disease, including movement disorders. Genetic testing in clinical practice has changed dramatically over the last few decades. While the likelihood of establishing an etiological diagnosis is greater now with increased access to testing and more advanced technologies, clinicians face challenges when deciding whether to test, then selecting the appropriate test, and ultimately interpreting and sharing the results with patients and families. In this review, we use a case-based approach to cover core aspects of genetic testing for the neurologist, namely, genetic testing in Parkinson's disease, interpretation of inconclusive genetic test reports, and genetic testing for repeat expansion disorders using Huntington disease as a prototype.

    Abstract Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common chronic neurodegenerative condition. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare provision faced challenges worldwide. We aimed to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic changed healthcare experiences for people living with Parkinson's disease (PwP) in Canada.
    Methods: We conducted a national cross-sectional online survey about healthcare access for PwP in 2020. Participants (n = 298) were recruited through Parkinson Canada, the national patient association and its provincial partners, that advertised the study in a monthly newsletter. We used descriptive statistics and multivariate regression modelling to test associations of interest. A P < 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.
    Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, PwP reported greater difficulty obtaining PD-related healthcare services and lesser satisfaction with healthcare provision compared to pre-pandemic experiences. Dissatisfaction with care was associated with the presence of barriers to access services, a lack of confidence in accessing services remotely, pre-pandemic care dissatisfaction, and difficulty in obtaining care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unmet care needs were associated with a lack of confidence in accessing services remotely, dissatisfaction with pre-pandemic care, difficulty obtaining pre-pandemic care, and communication challenges.
    Conclusion: Our results suggest that healthcare experiences for PwP significantly changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with challenges in access to virtual care. Poorer pre-pandemic care experiences were amplified during the pandemic.

    Abstract The power of placebos is commonly associated with the placebo effect. In contrast, detrimental effects related to the use of a placebo are little studied and less well recognized. This chapter covers the nocebo and lessebo effects defined, respectively, as expectation of harm in the form of adverse events in a placebo arm and reduction of therapeutic benefit due to the uncertainty of being allocated to placebo. The lessebo effect is a more recent concept and has been described only in depression, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. The nocebo response was evaluated in many neurological diseases, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, restless leg syndrome, among others. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials in these conditions reveal a significant variability of the magnitude of the nocebo response and that factors related to study design, study participants or neurological disease can be associated with a nocebo response, although with the opposing findings across conditions. The knowledge about neurobiological mechanisms of the nocebo effect is poor for neurological diseases, and most of the information has been generated in pain. Functional neuroimaging suggests the existence of a distinct network for the anticipation and the experience of a hyperalgesia nocebo response. Different types of neurotransmitters have been involved, including cholecystokinin, dopamine and opioids. Recognizing the potential impact of nocebo and lessebo effects, mitigating strategies are in development with application to clinical research and clinical practice, such as a contextualized informed consent process, alternative study designs and enhancement of patient-physician communication.
