Early postural instability is an effective predictor of future freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This prospective cohort study investigated the potential predictor of future FOG occurrence in patients with de novo PD. Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is…Beneficial effect of estrogen on nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in drug-naïve postmenopausal Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the potential beneficial effects of estrogen on nigrostriatal dopaminergic neuron degeneration in postmenopausal drug-naïve Parkinson’s disease. Background: Epidemiologic studies have revealed that…The Power of Normal Saline in Reducing Skin Nodules in Apomorphine
Objective: This is a poster presentation Background: Continuous apomorphine therapy is a pump delivered infusion via subcutaneous injection for management of advanced therapy in Parkinson's…Cognitive dysfunction in patients with Parkinson’s disease and psychosis
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the pattern of cognitive dysfunction in the patient's with Parkinson's disease and psychosis (PD-P) by comparing…Genetics and phenotypes of recessive parkinsonism in French and North African populations
Objective: To evaluate the mutation frequency in recessive genes and the associated phenotype in a large series of French and North African cases with Parkinson’s…Patients Experiencing Motor Fluctuations With Parkinson’s Disease (PD): Participant Characteristics in the Accordance Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Trial of Accordion Pill™ Carbidopa/Levodopa
Objective: To provide baseline and clinical characteristics for participants in the phase 3 Accordance study of the Accordion Pill™ (AP)—a gastric-retentive formulation of carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD)—versus…Validation of the PREDIGT Score for the Incidence Rate of Parkinson disease
Objective: To assess the discriminative power of the PREDIGT formula for incident Parkinson disease (PD). Background: The inability to predict the incidence rate of PD…CXCL12 is involved in α-synuclein-triggered neuroinflammation of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Activated microglia and increased cytokine levels could precede neurodegeneration in neuro-inflammation in A53T mice, and CXCL12 was found increased in plasma CNS-derived exosomes, which…STN-DBS programing for dyskinesia: a case report
Objective: To investigate the effect of STN stimulation on different types of dyskinesia and programming strategy. Background: Long-term use of levodopa or dopamine agonists often…Modulation of cerebellar and basal ganglia loops affects vestibular processing in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate physiology of impaired balance control in Parkinson’s Disease and its modulation by deep brain stimulation Background: Postural instability leading to falls is…
