Objective: To present a case in which the MRI of a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) revelaled impairment of whole neuroaxis. Background: CTX is a…HGprt deficiency affects early brain development in vivo in a mouse model of Lesch-Nyhan disease
Objective: To determine the effects of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGprt) deficiency on early brain development in vivo, in a HPRT1-deficient mouse model. Background: Lesch-Nyhan…Biomarkers of idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder versus RBD within narcolepsy
Objective: We compared iRBD versus secondary RBD due to narcolepsy, searching for discriminating clinical, neurophysiological and pathological biomarkers. Background: Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD)…Abnormal posture during treatment of restless legs syndrome in an old woman: A case report
Objective: To report a patient with restless legs syndrome (RLS) in whom abnormal posture appeared during treatment of that. Background: Abnormal posture such as camptocormia…Decreased serum alpha-synuclein in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome and association with SNCA-Rep1 polymorphism
Objective: To investigate whether α -synuclein levels are altered in serum and saliva in patients with RLS and explore influence of the SNCA-Rep1 microsatellite repeat…Social work support is associated with better health-related quality of life in late stage Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Compare clinical and demographic characteristics of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who use social work/counseling services (SW-U) with non-users. Describe if PD Centers of…Quality of Life Indicators and Psycho-Social Adaptation of Patients with Essential Tremor
Objective: To study the life quality indicators and psycho-social adaptation of patients with ET. Background: Essential tremor (ET) is a frequent movement disorders in the…Is the activation ratio of transversus abdominis associated with mobility and core endurance in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease?: A Preliminary study
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle thickness changes using the activation ratio during abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM)…Pre-diagnosis physical activity habits are associated with age of diagnosis and postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine if pre-diagnosis exercise and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genotype are predictive of age at diagnosis and severity of balance impairment. Background: Studies…Balance training modulates the concentration of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma of elder people and PD patients. A pilot study
Objective: Assessment as to whether moderate intensity systematic balance training (BT) affects the level of IL-10, IL-6 and TNF-α in healthy, elder people and in…
