Heart rate variability and sympathetic skin response are useful in the evaluation of Parkinson’s disease, AMS, and Parkinson plus syndrome, but underutilized in daily clinical practice
Objective: Assess the heart rate (HR) coefficient of variance (CV) in three conditions: supine, active standing and during deep breathing; and measure the sympathetic skin…Comprehensive motor and non-motor staging system in Parkinson’s disease: Results from a global cross-sectional study
Objective: To describe a sample of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients by means of a combined, comprehensive, motor and non-motor staging system. Background: PD severity is…Neuronal nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Understanding the role of NNMT in initiation and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: 10-15% of all PD cases are caused by genetic factors,…Manual MRI morphometry in Parkinsonian syndromes
Objective: We investigated a large sample of Parkinsonian patients and healthy controls from five German academic medical centers with 3D MP-RAGE sequences on mainly 3T…Cognitive profile in the Parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy: Findings from a Tunisian cohort
Objective: To establish the cognitive profile of MSA-P in a Tunisian cohort and to discuss its association with motor signs. Background: It has been previously…Subjective report does not predict objective swallow impairment in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes
Objective: Swallow and speech disturbances are common in patients with atypical parkinsonism. The emergence of swallowing problems, or dysphagia, is associated with increased morbidity and…Cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy
Objective: Assessment, description and mutual comparison of cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: In most recent…Clinical phenotype (motor and neuropsychological presentation) and neuroimaging in Sardinian patients affected by atypical parkinsonisms, carriers of 20-22 repeats of C9ORF72 hexanucleotide expansion
Objective: Based on our previous finding of the p.A382T of TARDBP in patients with concomitant parkinsonism in the Sardinian population, we hypothesized that also the…Valproate-induced reversible parkinsonism – A case series
Objective: To describe a case series of valproate (VPA)-induced parkinsonism and increase awareness for this condition. Background: VPA as a cause of parkinsonism has been…Relationship between fatigue and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A study using Parkinson’s disease sleep scale-2
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between fatigue and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: In patients with PD, fatigue is an important…
