Effects of psychiatric tests on disease severity and nonmotor symptoms in early onset Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Psychiatric tests evaluating symptoms such as depression, anxiety, rumination, obsession, impulsivity, apathy and impulsive compulsive behaviors were applied in patients with early onset PD.…Predictive value of UPSIT subsets in prodromal Parkinson disease
Objective: To assess the predictive value of previously published subsets of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) odors for conversion to Parkinson disease…Serial olfactory testing for the diagnosis of prodromal Parkinson disease in the Parkinson Associated Risk Syndrome (PARS) study
Objective: To assess whether repeat olfactory testing in initially hyposmic subjects improves prediction of conversion to Parkinson disease (PD). Background: Hyposmia is a common prodromal…Smell dysfunction correlates with severity of motor deficits in H&Y stage-I early onset Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study is to test the hypotheses that: 1) olfactory dysfunction in early stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) is correlated with severity…Relationship between frequency and severity of REM sleep behavior disorder and clinical features in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to explore the relationship between frequency and severity of REM sleep behavior disorder(RBD) and clinical characteristics in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Analysis of Sleep Structure and EEG Characteristics of Patients with Dyskinesia in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We aim to use objective polysomnography to analyze the relationship between dyskinesia and sleep structure in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: Levodopa is an…The experience of respiratory symptoms and the impact in daily live in patients with Parkinson’s disease: a grounded theory approach
Objective: To explain what types of respiratory dysfunction people with Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism experience and how these symptoms impact their daily life. Background:…Conception of a sensor- and home-based measurement of camptocormia
Objective: This conception aims to outline the medical and technical requirements and a possible setup for an inertial-measurement-unit (IMU) quantifying camptocormia over a longer period…A corneal nerve density possible progression biomarker in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients: pilot study
Objective: To evaluate corneal sub-basal nerve plexus density in PD compared to age-matched healthy subjects using confocal microscopy Background: Cornea is the most densely innervated…Social support moderates the burden of nonmotor but not motor symptoms among patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The present study tested the extent of moderating effects of patient-perceived social support on the association between motor and nonmotor symptoms and Health-related quality…
