Investigation of driving ability to drive safely in patients with Parkinson’s disease by interview
Objective: We investigated the vehicle driving situation, clinical signs and symptoms of PD patients to obtain the information for safe driving. Background: PD neurologists are…Defective visual perception in patients with Parkinson’s disease: The impairment of preattentive visual processing in the normal intellectual patients
Objective: In the previous conference, we reported that the impairment of preattentive visual processing could be detected even among subjects considered to have normal cognitive…Speech prosody impairment predicts cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We assessed whether baseline speech prosodic parameters, alone or in combination with other predominantly non-dopaminergic symptoms may predict global cognitive decline as measured by…Cytokines in CSF and plasma as potential biomarkers for PD cognitive impairment
Objective: To assess CSF and plasmatic levels of cytokines as potential biomarkers of PD and PD mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). Background: Neuroinflammation may play a…Association between urine protein/creatinine ratio and cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the relationship between proteinuria and cognitive dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: Impaired renal function and proteinuria have been associated with…Piperine potentiates neuroprotective effect of curcumin in MPTP model of Parkinson’s disease in rats: Impact on neurochemical modulation
Objective: (1) Curcumin is well tolerated phenolic compound used for CNS disorder but problem is its low oral bioavailability and (2) Piperine is combined to…Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder symptoms correlate with domains of cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate (1) the domains of cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). (2) To…Genetic factors influencing frontostriatal dysfunction and the development of dementia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the role of APOE, MAPT, COMT, SNCA and GBA genes in both striatal dopaminergic denervation and the development of dementia in Parkinson's…The effects of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease on cognition and perceived quality of life: Preliminary results from an Ecuadorian sample
Objective: To evaluate the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on cognition and perceived quality of life in the first cohort of patients undergoing DBS…The effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on sequential motor skill learning in persons with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the potential effect of tDCS on the acquisition of implicit sequential motor skill learning in persons with PD (pwPD). Background: Due to…
