Incidence of drooling in Parkinson’s Disease and Impact on Quality of Life
Objective: The project aimed to determine the frequency and severity of drooling in the Parkinson’s Disease (PD) population in Cardiff & the Vale Health-board through…Study of cardiac sympathetic denervation by 18F-FDOPA PET-CT Imaging in early Parkinson disease (EPD) and Atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS)
Objective: To evaluate utility of l-3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F] fluoro-phenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) PET-CT imaging for cardiac sympathetic denervation in conjunction with nigrostriatal imaging in patients with early Parkinson disease (EPD) and Atypical…Multiple System Atrophy: phenotypic spectrum approach coupled with brain FDG PET
Objective: This study attempts to identify different phenotypes of patients with MSA and to describe corresponding brain 18-FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET) patterns. Background: In…DBS Programming In Tremor And Akinetic-Rigid Predominant Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting Globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an established surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Due…Swallowing assessment in Parkinson’s Disease using Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI)
Objective: To evaluate any dysphagia-signs in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with technique that is non-invasive, without-radiation-exposure and gives good soft-tissue contrast. Background: Swallowing, a basic oromotor…Diagnostic accuracy of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Experience of a movement disorders center
Objective: The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of correct diagnosis in PSP. Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a commonly disease…Bilateral INO in PSP
Objective: We describe and demonstrate a patient with PSP who had bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (BINO) with intact convergence on exam. Background: A thorough eye movement…Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of atypical parkinsonism: comparison of consensus clinical criteria with MRI criteria
Objective: Our study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 42 consecutive patients with PS whose diagnosis was uncertain at an early stage. The…Serum mucosal chemokine levels in patients with Parkinson disease.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between mucosal chemokines including CXCL14 and CCL28) and impairment in motor/non-motor function among patients with Parkinson’s disease. Background: Parkinson disease…Bilateral vestibulopathy due to neurosarcoidosis mimicking Parkinsonian syndrome
Objective: We here describe a patient with neurosarcoidosis presenting with progressive gait disturbance that mimics Parkinsonian syndrome. Background: Neurosarcoidosis can show various neurological complications; however,…
