Longitudinal alpha-synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid in early Parkinson’s disease, prodromal PD and healthy controls
Objective: To examine the longitudinal relationships between total alpha-synuclein (aSyn) changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clinical measures, and factors that may influence CSF aSyn in…Dopaminergic neurons in Substantia Nigra pars compacta code the vigor of movement sequences
Objective: Assess the correlates of movement vigor in Substantia Nigra dopaminergic neurons Background: Current basal ganglia models have focused on the role of dopamine in…Recruitment of Minority populations with Parkinson’s disease at an Urban Hospital
Objective: To evaluate diagnostic disparities in Parkinson’s disease (PD) through recruitment of underrepresented minorities into a PD screening study. Background: African-Americans are less likely than…Immediate effects of walking training with Honda Walking Assist Device on gait parameters of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To verify the immediate effects of walking training with Honda Walking Assist Device (HWAD: Honda Motor Co., Ltd, Japan) on gait parameters in Parkinson’s…Using APPs in a Movement Disorders clinic can quickly and efficiently increase the number of new patients seen without compromising patient satisfaction
Objective: Using APPs in a Movement Disorders clinic can quickly and efficiently increase the number of new patients seen without compromising patient satisfaction The purpose…Improving compliance to Parkinsonism’s pharmacotherapy amongst patients attending a Movement Disorders Clinic (MDC)
Objective: To improve patients’ compliance with Parkinsonism's pharmacotherapy to achieve more accurate clinical assessment in an outpatient setting. Background: Patients with Parkinsonism are encouraged to…The scaling properties of chorea and levodopa-induced dyskinesia are similar to voluntary movements
Objective: Explore whether levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and chorea share voluntary movement characteristics to better understand the mechanisms underlying these involuntary movements. Background: We have recently…Pre-supplementary Motor Area Contributes to Motor Aspects of Sequential Risk-Taking
Objective: To determine the causal role of pre-supplementary motor area in risk-taking behavior during sequential decision making. Background: A recent functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) study…Is there a role for miRNA in the diagnosis of PD?
Objective: Several studies have examined mirco RNA (miRNA) in Parkinson's disease with the aim of finding a diagnostic test; so what utility have miRNA in…Antiglycine Receptor Antibodies and Rapidly Progressive Corticobasal Syndrome
Objective: To describe the first case of non-paraneoplastic autoimmune encephalitis with antiglycine receptor (anti-GlyR) antibodies manifesting as a Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS) and the response to…
