Assessment of clinical peculiarities of violations of vertical vision in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study vertical oculomotor reflexes and the state of the functional system "eyelid" in patients with PD. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common…Prefrontal cortical stimulation to treat anxiety and depression in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aims of this study are 1) to study the neurophysiology underlying anxiety and depression in PD patients, and 2) to determine whether cortical…PrP as a receptor of alpha-synuclein in the pancreas of patients with synucleinopathies
Objective: We have investigated whether the cellular prion protein interacts with alpha-synuclein in pancreatic cells of patients with synucleinopathies. Background: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s…Vascular risk factors prevalence differences between Vascular Parkinsonism (VaP) and Parkinson Disease (PD) in a hospital cross-section study
Objective: Determine and compare vascular risk factors between VaP and PD patients in a hospital-based sample. Background: Most studies demonstrate that vascular risk factors are…Effects of Glial Heme Oxygenase-1 on Neuronal Alpha-Synuclein in the GFAP.HMOX1 Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To determine whether astroglial HO-1 transduces environmental and endogenous stressors into patterns of neural damage which promote the toxicity of neuronal alpha-synuclein. Background: The…Motor Symptoms in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease – Correlations with Cerebrospinal Fluid C-Reactive Protein
Objective: In this study, we intended to investigate the association between severity of PD motor symptoms and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of CRP using…A patient with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and parkinsonism
Objective: We report the first case of myotonic dystrophy (DM) type 1 with DMPK mutations presenting with parkinsonian syndrome. Background: DM type 1 is a…Enhancing protein palmitoylation is protective in alpha-synuclein dependent cytotoxicity
Objective: To determine if enhancement of protein palmitoylation benefits alpha-synuclein (aS) dependent vesicular trafficking defects and cytotoxicity. Background: Recent studies suggest that vesicular trafficking defects…STN DBS – A study of frequency of gait (fog) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In search of new techniques to help improve lifestyle of Parkinson`s diseased conditions (PDs), a wireless technique is proposed to identify freeze, reduce freeze,…A post-mortem and in vivo study of neuroinflammation and Toll like-receptors in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate inflammatory change and Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression in human post-mortem Parkinson’s disease (PD) brains and to test the efficacy of TLR-blocking agents…
