Impact of oral COMT-inhibitors on gut microbiota and biologically active microbial metabolites in patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate if we were able to reproduce our previous findings in an independent patient cohort and whether such a correlation also exists in…A descriptive study with molecular and cytogenetic analysis in patients of ataxia telangiectasia(AT) from the Indian subcontinent
Objective: To characterize the clinical and radiological phenotype in patients with AT and correlate with the genetic analysis. Background: AT is a rare autosomal recessive…Ocular Motor Findings in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 17
Objective: To delineate the ocular motor findings in spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17). Background: Even though the ocular motor findings largely overlap among spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA),…Quantitative evaluation of gait ataxia of Multiple System Atrophy patients
Objective: To perform gait analysis on patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and assess whether the obtained data could be used as neurophysiological biomarkers. Background:…Identification of modifier genes related to G proteins pathways on the motor capacity of a Drosophila melanogaster model of Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective: To identify genetic modifiers related to G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathways, which might improve a frataxin-depleted phenotype in a Drosophila model of Friedreich's ataxia.…Gut problems in Huntington’s disease? Evidence for a leaky gut in the R6/2 mouse model of HD
Objective: This project aims to investigate how leaky the gut is in HD, why the gut is leaky, and how this relates to HD symptoms.…Imaging Parkinson’s disease pathology: A comparison between neuromelanin-sensitive MRI, susceptibility weighted imaging and [11C]PE2I DAT PET
Objective: We compared 2 novel MRI techniques: neuromelanin-sensitive MRI (NM-MRI) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) with [11C]PE2I PET in order to establish their validity as biomarkers…Movement Disorders Patients in Long-Term Care: Protecting Access to Appropriate Treatment
Objective: To better understand the impact of gradual dose reduction (GDR) on patients with movement disorders living in long-term care facilities (LCTFs). Background: More than…Predictive Factors for Depression in a Multicentric Parkinson’s Disease Mexican Cohort
Objective: To identify predictive factors for depression in a multicentric Parkinson’s disease (PD) mexican cohort. Background: Depression is a common symptom of PD with a…The association parkinsonism and psychotic symptom in neurosyphilis
Objective: To report the cases of neurosyphilis revealed by the association parkinsonism and psychotic symptom. Background: The NS is the "great imitator" because it can…
