Dynamic and static posturographic analysis among fallers and non- faller Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using Neurocom SMART EquiTest
Objective: The purpose of this investigation is to study both the sensory and motor aspects of voluntary and automatic postural control using static and dynamic…Evaluation of regional changes in striatal DAT binding in a progressing Parkinson’s disease (PD) cohort: Lessons for imaging biomarker assessment in disease-modifying therapeutic trials
Objective: To evaluate subregion-dependent striatal changes in dopamine transporter (DAT) binding using 123-I Ioflupane SPECT in PD participants in the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI)…Alpha synuclein and crystallin expression in human lens in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the Protein Profile of cataract lenses in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Protein accumulation, mainly αB-crystallin, in the lens causes cataract. PD is…α-synuclein CSF levels correlate with urinary dysfunction in early de novo Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To explore the association between levels of α-synuclein burden and urinary dysfunction in early de novo (untreated) Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: Urinary dysfunction…Discrimination of Parkinson’s disease participants from healthy controls using telephone-quality voice recordings
Objective: To test the practicality and efficacy of telephone-quality voice recordings to discriminate Parkinson's disease (PD) participants from healthy controls (HC). Background: Vocal performance degradation…The effect of STN-DBS on movement initiation control is modulated by the noradrenergic system: Evidence of an interaction from a combined pharmacological/DBS/EEG study
Objective: Assessing the role of the noradrenergic system underlying the effect of subthalamic nucleus stimulation (STN-DBS) on akinesia. Background: Slowness in movement initiation, associated with…Gender-age features of autonomic heart rhythm disturbances in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine the gender differences and age-dependent features of autonomic heart rhythm disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Autonomic heart rate failures…Brain metabolic profile changes reflect subtle pathological alterations in different murine models of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Understanding early, and therefore often subtle, disease processes in Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential for the development of disease modifying cures. But in patients,…Apathy phenotype in Parkinson’s disease: Motor and non-motor features
Objective: To evaluate whether apathy is associated with specific motor and non-motor features in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: In a previous clinical cohort study…Associations between cerebrospinal fluid proteins and cytokines in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins and cytokines, and their correlation with clinical measures in PD. Background: Several studies have investigated…
