Evolution in Dopamine Transporter (DaT) Scan Utilization Patterns and its Effect on Treatment Decisions: Results of the Next 200 Scans
Objective: To describe further changes in DaT scan utilization and its influence on management following our initial experience. Background: We previously reported our DaT scan…Metabolic changes following transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound subthalamotomy
Objective: As part of a pioneer trial to investigate the use of transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound subthalamotomy (MRgFUS-STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD), this study addresses…Speech difficulties are linked to striatal dopaminergic deficits and cognitive decline in early de novo patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether speech difficulties are associated with striatal dopaminergic deficits and whether are linked to progression of symptoms in early de novo patients…Decreased Fronto-Parietal connection is associated with face pareidolia in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanism of face pareidolia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Background: Face pareidolia…Dopamine depletion impairs gait automaticity by altering cortico-striatal and cerebellar processing in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Investigating the role of dopaminergic medication on the neural mechanisms underlying lower limb motor automaticity during fMRI in 23 patients with PD that were…The role of phosphodiesterase 4 in sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to assess the association between phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) expression and sleep disturbances in vivo using combined multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and…Clinical utility of visualization of Nigrosome-1 in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the inter-rater reliability of Nigrosome-1 detection and its relation to asymmetry of clinical symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Detection of Nigrosome-1…Syndenham’s chorea in Senegalese children: A case series
Objective: To describe clinical profile and treatment outcome of Sydenham’s chorea (SC) in children attending a tertiary care hospital in Dakar, Senegal. Background: SC is…
