My post on June 24, 2025 was entitled, “I like Parkinson-like.”  It was about a paper that was about to hit the stands (a Boomerism) authored by myself and Dr. Junaid Siddiqui of Cleveland Clinic.  It proposed replacing the terms “atypical Parkinsonism,” “atypical Parkinsonian disorder” and “Parkinson-plus disorder” with a new term, “Parkinson-like disorder” (or “Parkinson’s disease-like disorder” because let’s not get TOO prescriptive).  

The June blog post promised to make a copy of the paper available to you all once it was published. Better late (by seven months) than never. My mind was jogged by one of my current projects, preparing a lecture on the atypical Parkinsonian disorders in general that I will deliver at the University of Vermont in April. Also jogging my mind was that it’s been nearly two weeks since my last post.

The pdf is at the bottom. If you have difficulty downloading or viewing it, here’s a link to the abstract and highlights and here’s a chart showing the gist of our proposed new terminology:
