Using Vision to Predict Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To identify visual measures that relate to higher risk of dementia in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Background: Dementia affects 50% of people with PD within…The development of an instrument for measuring Parkinson’s patient empowerment
Objective: To develop a valid and reliable measurement scale of Parkinson’s patient empowerment index (PPEI). Background: Patient empowerment concept has been used as part of…Change of Cognition Functions after Subthalamic Nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulationin in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To explore the changes of cognitive function in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background: STN-DBS…Adult neurogenesis is impaired in pink1-/- zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Objective: To determine whether PINK1 deficiency impairs adult neurogenesis in a tractable vertebrate model of PINK1-related Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is characterized by loss…Mitochondrial phenotype related to the A30P alpha-synuclein mutation as a patient-derived cellular model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Our study aims to perform detailed phenotyping of the A30P alpha-synuclein familial case of PD, allowing to identify underlying mechanisms of the disease that…
