Clinical features of Parkinson’s disease with and without rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder
Objective: Study the relationship between RBD and other symptoms of PD. Background: Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are two…Heart rate variability and Sympathetic skin response in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the neurophysiologic cardiac autonomic findings and Sympathetic skin response (SSR) in a Tunisian cohort of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Prevalence of dysautonomia…Gender differences in olfactory dysfunctions in Sardinian patients affected by Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the presence of specific gender-related patterns in olfactory dysfunctions among Sardinian patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD), compared with age and sex-matched…Flexed posture: Relationships with non-motor impairments and upper body activities in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate i) whether non-motor impairments are associated with flexed truncal posture in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), and ii) the relationship between flexed…Retinal and choroidal changes in autosomal recessive PD are similar to idiopathic PD
Objective: Our aim is to evaluate the structural changes in retina and choroid by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and common…Effect of bedtime levodopa/carpidopa/entacapone (Stalevo®) on sleep disturbance in patients with Parkinson’s disease with motor fluctuation
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone (Stalevo®) at bedtime on sleep disturbance in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who have motor fluctuation. Background: Sleep…Distinct effects of apathy and dopamine on effort-based decision making in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine if disrupted effort-based decision making (EBDM) underlies the syndrome of apathy in PD, and whether this disruption is modulated by the dopaminergic…α-synuclein propagation via olfactory pathway in non-human primate model
Objective: Recent studies have revealed that intracerebral injection of synthetic α-synuclein (α-syn) fibrils into olfactory bulb (OB) of mice induced prion-like propagation of α-syn aggregates…Skin Deposition of Pathological Alpha-Synuclein in Idiopathic REM-sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinsonism
Objective: To assess cutaneous pathological Alpha-syn deposition in patients with iRBD, PD, atypical parkinsonism and controls. Background: Peripheral autonomic neurodegeneration may occur in early stages…Association between sleep duration and subsequent risk of Parkinson´s disease and survival: Data from NEDICES study
Objective: To evaluate whether sleep duration (i) is associated with a subsequent risk of Parkinson’ disease (PD); (ii) affects mortality rates in PD patients, using…
