Gastrointestinal disorders in various forms of parkinsonism
Objective: To examine the types of gastrointestinal disorders in parkinsonism, depending on the form of the disease. Background: One of the non-motor autonomic disorders of…Bladder Training for Urinary Tract Symptoms in PD – A Randomised Controlled Trial
Objective: To assess the feasibility and efficacy of bladder training for troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Background: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)…A Comparative Study of Measured and Predicted Metrics of Respiratory Function in People with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Objective: The objective of this research was to compare measured metrics of respiratory function – Spirometry, Respiratory Muscle Strength and Peak Cough Flow – with…The radiofrequency (RF)-induced heating profile of an externalized, directional DBS lead using functional imaging sequences in an Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Suite (IMRIS)
Objective: To characterize the RF-induced heating profile of the St. Jude Infinity lead within an IMRIS using a configuration that emulates intraoperative functional MRI during…Evaluating Volume Changes in the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta (SNc) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in a Study-Specific Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Template
Objective: To characterize the topography of SNc involvement in PD patients using neuromelanin (NM)-sensitive MRI (NM-MRI). Background: PD is characterized by the progressive loss of…Decreased Cannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Density in Parkinson’s Disease: A [18F]FMPEP-d2 PET Study
Objective: To explore type 1 endocannabinoid receptor (CB1R) expression in subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls using [18F]FMPEP-d2 PET. Background: CB1Rs are expressed…Whole-Body Neuromuscular Ultrasound for Evaluating Posture and Targeted Management of Muscle Spasticity and Pain
Objective: The aim was to assess efficacy of whole body neuromuscular ultrasound to evaluate posture and targeted management of muscle spasticity and pain. Background: Muscle…Neuroanatomical correlates of early cognitive change in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify the neuroanatomical basis of early cognitive change in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: 50% of PD patients develop dementia within 10 years of…Arterial spin labelling detects subcortical hypoperfusion in early drug-naïve patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We evaluated regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) levels in a cohort of early drug-naïve patients with Parkinson’s disease, and we explored for associations between…Evidence of altered Serotonergic Network in Parkinson’s disease by using a multi-modal MRI and PET imaging approach
Objective: This study aims to assess how serotonergic pathological derangement may produce alterations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) functional connectivity, by means of a multimodal neuroimaging…
