    Abstract A wide range of neurological manifestations have been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a variety of Parkinsonian cases. The association of numerous viruses with the development of persistent or transient Parkinsonism has been well-documented. We observed a patient who developed a levodopa non-responsive Parkinsonian syndrome with dysautonomia during a prolonged stay at home for COVID-19. Although the temporal proximity of the emerging Parkinsonian features with a COVID-19 diagnosis suggested a causal relationship, we considered the possibility of a coincidental occurrence of multiple system atrophy. We discuss the patient's clinical features in relation to the established clinical diagnostic criteria and review differential diagnoses as well as the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract Introduction: Cervical dystonia (CD) is the most common form of adult-onset focal dystonia. Because of a heterogeneous clinical presentation, the diagnosis rests on clinical opinion. During the last decades, several clinical trials have tested safety and efficacy of medical and surgical treatments for CD. We analyzed all the published CD trials and reviewed the strategies adopted for patient enrollment.
    Methods: The review included clinical trials in patients with CD published in PubMed. Studies were excluded if reviews, meta-analyses, post-hoc analyses on pooled data, or if not reporting a treatment for CD.
    Results: A total of 174 articles were identified; 134 studies met inclusion criteria. Diagnosis of CD varied among studies and in most cases was based on clinical judgement, using different descriptors such as "cervical dystonia" (37 studies), "idiopathic or isolated CD" (35), "primary CD" (13), and "torticollis" (40). Clinical judgement was supported by a phenomenological description of dystonia in four studies, and by a specific diagnostic strategy in other four. Finally, one study adopted general diagnostic criteria for dystonia. Inclusion and exclusion criteria proved heterogeneous across trials and were defined only in 108 studies, mainly considering age or the phenomenological pattern of muscle involvement.
    Conclusion: The review showed lack of consolidated diagnostic criteria and non-uniformity of eligibility criteria for CD across clinical trials. There is need to move beyond clinical judgement as diagnostic criterion for selecting participants. New trials assessing specific CD patient subgroups or comparing medical and surgical procedures will need grounds that are more consistent.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the prevalence and phenomenology of Impulse control behavior (ICB) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying mutations in the β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene.
    Background: GBA mutations are a common genetic factor predisposing to PD. ICB is among the most disabling non-motor complications of PD. The occurrence of ICB in PD patients carrying GBA gene mutations (GBA-PD) has not been yet established.
    Methods: Forty-six patients with clinically definite PD (23 GBA-PD and 23 non-mutated patients, NM-PD) were screened for ICB. Diagnosis was clinically and rating based on a specific questionnaire (QUIP-RS). Other demographic and clinical variables did not differ between groups.
    Results: ICB occurred more frequently in GBA-PD patients (52.2%) compared to NM-PD (13%) and the total QUIP-RS score was higher in the GBA-PD group. Hypersexuality and compulsive shopping were the most prevalent ICB types occurring in GBA patients. ICB occurred only in one GBA-PD patient on levodopa monotherapy and in 11 patients taking dopamine agonists, either monotherapy or combined with levodopa (the corresponding figures in NM-PD patients were 0 and 3). Most GBA-PD patients were heterozygous for two common genetic variants, without appreciable difference in their ICB profile.
    Conclusion: ICB is more common in GBA-PD patients compared to NM-PD. Dopamine agonist therapy may be synergic to GBA carrier status for ICB occurrence.

    Abstract A few earlier observations and recent controlled studies pointed to the possible contribution of thyroid diseases in idiopathic adult-onset dystonia (IAOD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between thyroid status and clinical characteristics of IAOD, focusing on dystonia localization, spread, and associated features such as tremors and sensory tricks. Patients were identified from those included in the Italian Dystonia Registry, a multicentre dataset of patients with adult-onset dystonia. The study population included 1518 IAOD patients. Patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were compared with those without any thyroid disease. In the 1518 IAOD patients, 167 patients (11%; 95% CI 9.5-12.6%) were diagnosed with hypothyroidism and 42 (2.8%; 95% CI 1.99-3.74) with hyperthyroidism. The three groups were comparable in age at dystonia onset, but there were more women than men in the groups with thyroid disease. Analysing the anatomical distribution of dystonia, more patients with blepharospasm were present in the hyperthyroidism group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance after the Bonferroni correction. The remaining dystonia-affected body sites were similarly distributed in the three groups, as did dystonia-associated features and spread. Our findings provided novel information indicating that the high rate of thyroid diseases is not specific for any specific dystonia subpopulation and does not appear to influence the natural history of the disease.
