Diffusion tensor imaging biomarkers of nigrostriatal neurodegeneration in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of nigrostriatal neurodegeneration in early-stage drug-naïve Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MRI technique…Glucocerebrosidase activity in a cohort of PD patients
Objective: To evaluate glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a cohort of 53 PD patients with and without GBA mutations and…Mild mitochondrial impairment promotes corticostriatal synaptic plasticity alterations in PINK1 heterozygous knockout mice
Objective: To investigate the effects of the exposure to low-dose rotenone of heterozygous PINK1 knockout (PINK1+/-) mice, compared to their wild-type littermates (PINK1+/+), on dopamine-dependent…Changes in serum amino acid levels with progression of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in serum amino acid profile with progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is a…Investigating the role of Parkin in mitigating oxidative stress
Objective: We are investigating the ability of Parkin protein to protect cells from oxidative stress (OS) and the mechanisms that underlie this function. We hypothesize…Clinical predictors of airway protective dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this study was to test the sensitivity and specificity of several airway protective and disease-specific factors for predicting swallowing safety in…Disease severity is not predictive of the dose required for apomorphine sublingual film (APL-130277) to convert a patient with Parkinson’s disease from OFF to fully ON
Objective: Evaluate whether baseline disease severity is predictive of the effective APL-130277 dose to turn a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) from OFF to fully…Treatment of OFF episodes in Parkinson’s disease: An evaluation of patient and caregiver insights
Objective: Evaluate patient and caregiver opinions into the treatment of OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: OFF episodes are fairly common in…Treatment of OFF episodes in Parkinson’s disease: An evaluation of physician practices
Objective: Determine physician practices into the treatment of OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease PD. Background: OFF episodes are fairly common in patients with…Enteric neurons reveal substantial in vivo mitochondrial changes in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Study in vivo mitochondrial and ganglionic morphometrics of enteric neurons in Parkinson's disease. Background: While well established in autopsy studies, the crucial role of…
