Utilising Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to investigate synucleinopathies
Objective: To study the neuronal integrity of the Anterior (ACC) and Posterior (PCC) Cingulate Cortices with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (H-MRS) across healthy controls (n=17),…Attitude of Parkinson Patients towards Participation in Clinical Trials and Brain or Tissue Donation for Research
Objective: A comprehensive survey of patient preferences and attitudes towards clinical trials and tissue donation can help identify and address barriers hindering the recruitment for…Progressive Parkinsonism and Cognitive Changes: A Rare Presentation of Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation with Pontine Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids (CLIPPERS)
Objective: To describe a rare manifestation of a case of CLIPPERS with video-based documentation of treatment responsiveness. Background: CLIPPERS is a rare inflammatory disease of…Non-motor symptoms and risk of functional dependency in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether non-motor symptoms predict the development of functional dependency in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Non-motor symptoms are increasingly recognized as an integral…Impact of overweight and obesity on functional and clinical outcomes of early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether being overweight or obese contributes to disease progression and functional status in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: While the tendency of PD…Differential Value of Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in MSA-C and SCAs
Objective: Diagnostic value of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating multiple system atrophy cerebellar (MSA-C) phenotype and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) was assessed according to…Early Impairment of Chopsticks Skill Predict Atypical Parkinsonism
Objective: To evaluate the difference of chopsticks skill in early stage of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP) using a questionnaire and simple motor…Gaze – evoked nystagmus in PSP patients: Is it really atiypical? A case series of eight patients
Objective: To present eight patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) syndrome and horizontal, gaze-evoked nystagmus (GEN), a finding hitherto assumed atypical for PSP[1]. Background: The…A case of osmotic demyelination syndrome presenting parkinsonism affected by blood alcohol concentration change
Objective: To describe a patient with osmotic myelinolysis caused by change in blood alcohol level who developed acute parkinsonism. Background: Osmotic myelinolysis is an acute,…Serum uric acid level as a biomarker in sporadic and familial (p.A53T alpha synuclein carriers) Parkinson’s disease: Longitudinal data from the PPMI study
Objective: To determine whether there are longitudinal differences in serum uric acid level among sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, PD patients harboring the p.A53T mutation…
