The utility of DCTclock™ (the digital clock drawing test) for unmasking early cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the utility of DCTclock, for assessing subtle cognitive impairments in early Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The identification of cognitive decline is crucial…Movement disorders spectrum in patients with frontotemporal dementia
Objective: To determine frequency of different hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders (MD) within a spectrum of frontotemporal dementia (FTD): we examined patients with behavioral and…Cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s Disease: A cross-sectional association study
Objective: To characterize the presence and clinical presentation of PD-MCI and PDD in patients with idiopathic PD, examining motor and non-motor features and determining factors…Relationship between cognitive performance and mobility in patients with Parkinson´s disease: A cross-sectional study
Objective: To investigate the relationships between cognitive ability (global and single domain-executive functions) and gait performance (balance, gait speed and mobility) in patients with Parkinson's…Cognitive Training in Parkinson’s Disease: Experience in a Rehabilitation Hospital from Brazil
Objective: To determine the impact of cognitive training (CT) on cognitive and quality of life measures in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Background: PD is…Introduction of an Assessment Toolkit Increases the Rate of DLB Diagnosis
Objective: To assess whether diagnostic rates of both Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) could be increased by the introduction of…Neurocognitive changes after STN-DBS among PD patients – a 2-year follow-up study in Hong Kong
Objective: The study aimed to examine the neurocognitive changes following STN-DBS in patients with PD. Background: Neurocognitive evaluation is a standard procedure preoperatively in patients…Heart Rate Variability and Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To evaluate the association between the heart rate variability (HRV) and cognitive impairment in PD patients. Background: Emerging evidence suggests an association between cognitive…Vascular white matter involvement in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: association with cognitive and motor impairment
Objective: To explore the relationship between vascular subcortical encephalopathy, ventricular dilation and clinical severity in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Background: The frequent co-occurrence of…Role of Alzheimer’s Disease Genetic Risk Variant rs9331896 in Cognitive Decline in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate whether susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with rates of longitudinal cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Parkinson’s disease…
