Acute parkinsonism following an obstructive hydrocephalus and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision: a case report
Objective: To describe a case of acute parkinsonism following an obstructive hydrocephalus and ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt revision. Background: Acute parkinsonism is a rare complication of…Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve anxiety in Parkinson’s disease: a randomized, double-blind and controlled trial
Objective: High frequrncy (HF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improve anxiety in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Background: The high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation above the…High intensity interval training elevates circulating BDNF and miRNAs level in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate if twelve weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) can enhance serum BDNF and miRNAs levels in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: BDNF plays several important physiological functions including…K0706, A Potent Orally Bioavailable Brain-Penetrating Selective Inhibitor of cABL Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Exhibits Neuroprotective Activity in Preclinical Models of Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Preclinical assessment of K0706, a potent c-Abl inhibitor, as a neuroprotective disease modifying agent for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) related neurodegeneration using…Machine learning classifiers and subjective vocal perception of Parkinson’s disease patients and healthy control
Objective: To identify machine learning classifiers and to assess the acoustic differences between PD patients and healthy control (HC) and the relations between objective and…Utility of Eye Movement Abnormalities in Differentiating Neurodegenerative versus non-Neurodegenerative Parkinsonism
Objective: To evaluate eye movement abnormalities in patients with neurodegenerative versus non-neurodegenerative parkinsonism. Background: Clinical distinction between neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative parkinsonism can be difficult[1]. Eye…Automated Metabolic Pattern Analysis in the Differential Diagnosis of Parkinsonism in a Swedish Cohort
Objective: To assess the accuracy of an automated, disease-specific, pattern model to distinguish among PD, MSA and PSP, in comparison with the final clinical diagnosis.…Sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging findings in the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: To compare the diagnostic sensitivity of hummingbird and morning glory signs with that of the midbrain area and the midbrain to pons area ratio.To…Tau and amyloid-beta inclusions are present in pancreatic beta-cells of patients with synucleinopathies
Objective: We have assessed whether tau and amyloid beta deposits might be present in pancreatic tissue of subjects with Parkinson’s and Lewy Body dementia. Background:…Amylin deposition in the brain of Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the presence of amylin deposits in the brain of subjects with synucleinopathies. Background: The link between…
