"Although frontal and temporal hypoperfusion can be similar to that seen in Alzheimer disease, occipital hypoperfusion and the cingulate island sign (preserved metabolism of the posterior cingulate) on FDG-PET ¹may aid in differentiation from other types of dementia, especially Alzheimer disease ^8,9,13,14. If the occipital lobe is not involved, dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer disease cannot be distinguished on the basis of their PET signatures."

Acronyms

warning

"Prodromal symptoms, such as gastrointestinal symptoms (constipation, gastroparesis, nausea), REM sleep behaviour disorder, anosmia, and anxiety, can also occur ^14,18."

Line 12:97 · 'REM' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Commas

suggestion

"Prodromal symptoms, such as gastrointestinal symptoms (constipation, gastroparesis, nausea), REM sleep behaviour disorder, anosmia, and anxiety, can also occur ^14,18."

Line 12:22 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Unlike Parkinson disease, patients with dementia with Lewy bodies respond less readily to levodopa combination therapies and also more sensitive to neuroleptic drugs, which may cause rigidity, reduced consciousness, pyrexia, falling, postural hypotension and collapse ³. However, dementia with Lewy bodies responds favourably to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g. rivastigmine, donepezil), even more-so than Alzheimer disease ⁶."

There Is

suggestion

"There are three entities to be distinguished in this gamut ¹⁸:"

Line 14:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"In dementia with Lewy bodies, dementia precedes or accompanies parkinsonism (or at least becomes clinically evident within an arbitrary 12 months of presentation ^5,18). Patients with Parkinson disease, on the other hand, will not infrequently also develop dementia. However, it typically occurs years after the onset of parkinsonian motor symptoms ^1,2,5. Such cases are then referred to as Parkinson disease dementia (PDD); at least an arbitrary 12 months of parkinsonism without dementia need to precede cognitive impairment ^5,7."

Line 21:448 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"imaging: prominent involvement of hippocampi on structural imaging; a positive amyloid PET does not exclude dementia with Lewy bodies ^20,21"

Line 76:74 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"imaging: more pronounced frontal/temporal atrophy; left-to-right asymmetry"

Line 90:57 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Biographical Lifespan

suggestion

"History and etymology"

Line 67:1 · A bold element in the History and etymology section should be a person; it would be useful to have their lifespan details: '<h4>History and etymology</h4> <p>Lewy body inclusions were first discovered in the early 1900s by the German-born, American neurologist <strong>Frederic Lewy</strong> '
