The Role of Maternal Smoking in Sudden Fetal and Infant Death Pathogenesis.

abstract：:Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are common causes of dementia worldwide. Although considered separate entities based on the relative temporal onset of motor symptoms vs. diagnosis of dementia, it is unknown if these diseases truly have distinct cognitive profiles. We hypothesized...
