Intestinal transit in early-moderate Parkinson’s disease correlates with probable RBD – subclinical esophageal dysmotility does not correlate
Objective: To investigate esophageal and intestinal transit times in early-moderate Parkinson's disease (PD) and to study correlations with probable RBD and subjective symptoms. Background: Intraneuronal…Increased epinephrine in the saliva of Parkinson’s disease patients: A preliminary observation
Objective: To investigate the levels of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EPI) and serotonin (5-HT) in the saliva of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and compare…Age and gender differences in cardiovascular autonomic failure in transgenic PLP-syn mouse model of multiple system atrophy
Objective: The main objective of the present study was to determine age and gender differences in measures of CAF in PLP-syn mice, a transgenic mouse…Hypothalamic functional connectivity correlates with autonomic symptom burden in patients with Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To investigate the association between autonomic symptom burden and hypothalamic functional connectivity in patients with MSA. Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive…131-MIBG is less promising in differentiating Parkinson’s disease from other parkinsonism for early onset patients
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of 131I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy in differentiating PD from other parkinsonism for distinct age of onset. Background: MIBG cardiac sympathetic imaging has…Characterization of the gastrointestinal dysfunction in the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To characterize the gastrointestinal (GI) phenotype in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) rat model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: GI dysfunction, such as prolonged GI transit…Long-term changes in myocardial sympathetic innervation and function in synucleinopathies
Objective: Describe long-term trends in indices of cardiac sympathetic innervation and function in synucleinopathies. Background: A group of neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson disease (PD), pure…Are Lewy bodies associated with sympathetic pathology in dementia subjects?
Objective: Determine if Alzheimer disease (AD) subjects with Lewy bodies show sympathetic cardiac denervation. Background: Comorbid Lewy body (LB) pathology is very common in AD,…Cardiac sympathetic denervation can predict the wearing-off phenomenon in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether cardiac sympathetic denervation increases the risk of the early wearing-off phenomenon in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Recent studies have suggested that…Heart rate variability and Sympathetic skin response in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the neurophysiologic cardiac autonomic findings and Sympathetic skin response (SSR) in a Tunisian cohort of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Prevalence of dysautonomia…
