Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Lewy Body Disease: Monoaminergic Activity and Resting State Networks
Objective: Investigating how neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS)—depression, anxiety, and apathy—relate to functional connectivity between monoaminergic nuclei and the limbic network (LN), default mode network (DMN), and…Assessing Agreement of Self-Perception of Dysphagia in Individuals with Parkinson Disease and their Caregivers
Objective: To investigate the association of self-perception of dysphagia in individuals with Parkinson disease (IwPD) with their caregivers’ perceptions at early, mid and late stages…Grip strength and hand distress in de novo Parkinson´s disease: support for early rehabilitation
Objective: To describe grip strength and upper limb (UL) distress in de novo PD, and to explore associations with motor symptoms. Background: Grip strength is…Micro- and Nanoplastics in Parkinson’s Disease Pathogenesis An Emerging Environmental Risk Factor
Objective: To synthesize current experimental and translational evidence supporting the hypothesis that micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) may contribute to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis through neuroinflammatory…Tablet-Based Quantitative Evaluation of Finger Movement in Essential Tremor: A Visual-Motor Task Study
Objective: Extending our prior FMAS validation in Parkinson’s disease (PD), we utilized this tablet-based system to quantify finger movement profiles in Essential tremor (ET) patients…Neurological Wilson’s disease: another form of tauopathies?
Objective: The authors would hope to identify distribution of Tau protein within the brain of Wilson's disease patients by tau-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) tracers Background:…Correlational Study of the Clinical Impression of Severity Index for Parkinson’s Disease (CISI-PD) with Functional Mobility Measures
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between CISI-PD by examining its association with four widely-validated functional mobility measures in PD: the 5 Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5xSTS),…Proposal of Anatomo-Functional Tremor Patterns for Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Toxin Infiltration
Objective: To propose a practical anatomo-functional framework for ultrasound-guided BoNT-A infiltration in upper limb tremor based on tremor biomechanics. Background: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A)…Huntington’s Disease Genetic Testing Practices in the Lower North Island of New Zealand
Objective: This audit reviewed Huntington’s Disease (HD) diagnostic and predictive testing in New Zealand’s lower North Island. Key objectives included evaluating the frequency of pre-test…What Non-Genetic Parkinson’s Disease Risk Factors are Africans Exposed To? A Scoping Review
Objective: We set out to catalogue the risk factors patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in Africa are exposed to. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is recognized…
