Absence of the nigrosome-1 area in 3 tesla resonance and its relation with hyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare the usefulness of two neuroimaging methods (3TMR and MEcho) to assist in the diagnosis of PD. Background: In patients with Parkinson's disease…Cholinergic basal forebrain and hippocampal structure influence visuospatial function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess relationships between the structural status of the cholinergic basal forebrain (cBF), hippocampus (HPC) and multi-domain cognitive function in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background:…Anti-glutamatergic effect of safinamide in Parkinson’s Disease: A TMS study
Objective: To test the effect of safinamide, at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/day, on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability and glutamatergic neurotransmission in…The study of 18F-FDG PET / CT imaging in the value on Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study,we were to investigate imaging characteristics of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and explore its value on PD. Background:…Pallidal beta bursts in Parkinson’s disease and Dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is to test whether prolonged beta burst duration is disease-specific for Parkinson's disease when compared to oscillatory activity in…Subthalamic Nucleus Local Field Potential Beta Activity in Chinese Advanced PD Patients
Objective: To test if the β oscillations of subthalamic nucleus (STN) local field potential (LFP) in Chinese advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients are similar with…A Florbetapir [F18] amyloid PET Imaging study in Parkinson’s disease Dementia (PDD): The influence of amyloid deposition on cognitive status and course of disease progression
Objective: To determine whether amyloid deposition, as assessed by PET imaging with the [18F]-Florbetapir, is related in patients with Parkinson Disease and Dementia (PDD) to…Diffusion tensor imaging of olfactory tract in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the possible relationships among olfactory impairment and alterations in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of olfactory tracts, comparing a cohort of patients with…Gender Differences in Parkinson’s disease: Transcranial Magnetics Stimulation Study of Newly Diagnosed Drug-Naïve PD Patients
Objective: In early Parkinson’s disease (PD), functional changes may be detected in primary motor cortex (M1) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We hypothesised that, if…Neuroprotective effect of exogenous melatonin on apoptosis of neuroadernergic neurons in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate melatonin therapeutic potential effects in Parkinson’s disease. Background: Sleep disorders constitute major nonmotor features of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that have a substantial…
