Autonomic Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease: Role of New Surrogate Markers
Objective: The physiology of respiration is modulated by autonomic efferent neurons and circulating hormones. A continuous ambulatory monitoring of various respiratory parameters helps in early…Proteomic analysis of tear-fluid reveals disease-specific patterns in patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: In this study, we set out to analyse changes of tear fluid (TF) proteome in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients compared to age-matched controls (AMC)…Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Enteric Nerve Dysfunction in A53T Mice
Objective: To investigate the relationship between α synucleinopathy-induced enteric neuropathy and gastrointestinal dysfunction in A53T mice. Background: Approximately 80-90% of PD patients suffer from GI…Is Heart Rate variability a differential biomarker in REM sleep behavior disorder, Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy?
Objective: Heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) and heart rate variability index (HRVI) as potential biomarkers for autonomic dysregulation were studied in subjects (each group N=10)…Degeneration of vagus nerve but not of accessory and phrenic nerve in Parkinson’s disease revealed by high-resolution ultrasound
Objective: To test the hypothesis that the vagus nerve is measurably atrophic in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: The vagus nerve is discussed to represent…Two-year prospective study reveals that gut dysbiosis predicts progression of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study is to examine whether intestinal microbiota correlate with pathology progress of PD severity and change of gut microbiota for 2 years. Background:…Nonmotor disorders in Parkinsonism: Experience in Kyrgyz Republic
Objective: Investigate existence and evidence of the nonmotor disorders, particularly neuropsychological disorders and autonomic dysfunctions in PD and vascular Parkinsonism patients. Background: Nonmotor disorders accompany…Normal “heart” in Parkinson’s disease: Is this a distinct clinical phenotype?
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether non-motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) differ between patients with normal and abnormal myocardial metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)…Intranasal delivery of insulin for the restoration of memory signaling in Alzheimer disease
Objective: Objective of this study is to develop delivery-system to overcome BBB by employing novel, non-invasive approach via nasal route. The olfactory neural pathway provides…The autonomic nervous system in Friedreich´s Ataxia: preliminary findings
Objective: To investigate the autonomic function in Friedreich´s ataxia (FRDA) Background: FRDA is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive gait ataxia, limb dysmetria, dysarthria…
