Hydrocephalic presentation of PSP and follow-up after ventricular-peritoneal shunting: Case report
Objective: To report a patient with a rare clinical phenotype of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and describe 6 months follow-up results after surgical intervention. Background:…Premature State of Oligodendrocytes Potentially Provides Critical Period for Extracellular Pathological α-Synuclein to Invade Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells
Objective: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is pathologically characterized by accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) in oligodendrocytes (OLGs), which is known as glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs).…Assessment of occupationally exposed organic solvents and welding fumes induced DNA damage and SNPs (PARK13, LRRK2 and CAST gene) and risk of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the potential association between solvents, welding fumes and SNPs and risk of developing PD. Background: The…No difference in balance and gait parameters of the patients with akinetic-rigid and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare balance and gait parameters between subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD, which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, has different clinical courses…Association between transfer activities and health-related quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and transfer activities in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and…Association between hand functions, hand reaction time and balance in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between hand function, hand reaction time and balance in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Symptoms of PD such…Zonisamide ameliorates levodopa-induced dyskinesia via striatal cholinergic system in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the difference in results according to the mode of levodopa administration and the effect of zonisamide (ZNS) on striatal cholinergic system, we…Gray matter atrophy in Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait assessed using surface-based algorithm – results of an open, longitudinal, single-centre study
Objective: The subsequent open, longitudinal study was performed to test whether grey matter (GM) atrophy and FOG severity changes over time and whether there is…Biomarkers of the Level of Cognitive Impairment (CI) in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD): MRS study
Objective: The concentrations of NAA, Cr, mIns, and Glx are identified as putative neurochemical markers of CI in patients with PD. Background: On the basis…Does the truth lie within the gut? Investigating the gut microbiome in an Australian cohort of Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with an assortment of difficult to recognize non-motor symptoms, including gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Recently, there have been studies reporting…
