A Study of Microglial Metabolism in Neuroinflammation
Objective: Targeting of microglial metabolism may be a potential therapeutic option for diseases such as PD [Parkinson’s Disease] and LBD [Lewy Body Dementia]. To establish…A review of interactive voice response systems in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: The objective of this literature revision is to review and analyze the current research on the uses of Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) in…Identifying In-Clinic Wearable Sensor Features that Predict Parkinson’s Disease Severity
Objective: To identify features from wearable sensors that can predict disease severity as measured by the MDS-UPDRS. Background: Wearable sensors can provide quantitative assessments of…Cerebral palsy masqueraders in an adult movement disorder tertiary centre: when to investigate an alternative diagnosis?
Objective: Revisit cerebral palsy (CP) cases referred to an adult movement disorder tertiary centre. Background: CP is an umbrella term that defines a group of…Automated Immunohistochemical Detection of Skin Depositions of Pathological alpha-Synuclein in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinsonism
Objective: The goal of this study was to employ a novel highly sensitive dual-stain immunohistochemical (IHC) assay in the assessment of cutaneous pathological alpha-synuclein (aSyn)…Plasma membrane Ca2+ Atpase 1 as a candidate to mediate the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons by inflammation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify genes involved in the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons (DN) of the substantia nigra (SN) by inflammation. Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is…Neuropathological findings in a SPG4 gene mutation carrier
Objective: To describe the clinical and neuropathological findings of a patient carrier of a mutation in the SPG4 gene. Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) linked…Diagnostic journeys of people with Parkinson’s disease in Kenya, sub-Saharan Africa
Objective: To explore the experiences of people living with Parkinson’s disease (PWPD) with regards to their diagnostic journeys among public and private hospital settings in…Differential Gait Progression in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease with and without freezing of gait
Objective: To develop a predictive algorithm for freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) through longitudinal objective gait assessment. Background: The presence of FOG…Gut Feelings about Parkinson’s Disease: The Influence of the Gut Microbiota in a Rodent Model
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the gut microbiota in a pilot cohort of Australian patients with PD, and a rodent model…
