Age associated effects of levodopa administration on striatal acetylcholinesterase activity
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term effects of levodopa on acetylcholinesterase activity in young and old rat brain striatum.…Manganese-induced parkinsonism and motor neuron damage- Can there be a relationship?
Objective: The aim of the study was evaluation of clinical, radiological and ENMG characteristic of ephedronic encephalopathy(EE). Background: The ephedrone abuse is widely spread among…Chorea – Ballism drug induced in replacement treatment with thyroid hormones – Case presentation
Objective: We present the case of a 56 years-old female patient that presented chorea movements after the initiation of replacement treatment with thyroid hormones. Background:…A comparative study of clinical profile of patients of drug induced parkinsonism with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Drug induced parkinsonism (DIP), caused by various group of drugs, is second most common etiology of parkinsonism after Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). No major…Drug-induced parkinsonism in Taiwan
Objective: To review drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) in Taiwan. Background: Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is a frequent etiology of secondary parkinsonism. DIP must always be suspected when…Incidental finding of drug-induced movement disorder
Objective: Recognizing a drug-induced movement disorder is critical as only stopping using over the counter dopamine-blocking medications such as metoclopramide can reverse or improve clinical…Three distinct cases of methamphetamine induced movement disorders
Objective: To detail three cases of methamphetamine induced movement disorders with unique clinical phenotypes. Background: MA is an addictive psychostimulant that affects both the central…Valproate-associated parkinsonism – A critical review of the literature
Objective: To provide a critical review of the existing literature on valproate-associated parkinsonism and to discuss possible mechanisms. Background: Valproate was first approved as an…MEK inhibitors have antidyskinetic effects in hemiParkinsonian rats that are associated with critical neurochemical alterations in the striatum
Objective: To examine the effects of MEK inhibitors PD98059 and U0126 on L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia and the induced molecular changes. Background: L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) represents one…Persistent drug-induced parkinsonism with normal dopamine transporter imaging
Objective: We investigated whether patients with persistent drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) showing visually normal dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging had minimal changes in striatal DAT activity using…
