An investigation of the potential neuroprotective role of curcumin in Parkinson’s disease patient-derived fibroblasts
Objective: To investigate if the protective effects of curcumin previously observed in SH-SY5Y cells are also found in patient-derived fibroblasts from Parkinson’s disease patients. Background:…Respiratory Complaints in Individuals with Spinocerebelar Ataxia Type 2
Objective: Verify the presence of respiratory complaints and dysfunction in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2).SCA2 is characterized by cerebellar ataxia, accompanied by dysarthria,…Cerebello-spinal stimulation in neurodegenerative ataxia: A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, crossover trial
Objective: The present study investigated whether a two-weeks' treatment with cerebellar anodal and spinal cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could reduce symptoms in patients…Changes detected in swallowing function in Friedreich ataxia over 12 months
Objective: To determine if changes in swallowing function are detectable over 12 months in Friedreich ataxia Background: Dysphagia (swallowing impairment) is present in 98% of…FXN and ATXN2 methylation profile in Friedreich’s ataxia and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2
Objective: To compare methylation profiles in frataxin (FXN) and ataxin-2 (ATXN2) genes in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) and a…
