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…Alpha-synuclein aggregates of cardiac sympathetic nerves in synucleinopathies and in neurologically unimpaired subjects. Correlation with sympathetic denervation
Objective: To study the cardiac sympathetic innervation and its relationship with the incidence of alpha-synuclein deposits in heart tissue of synucleinopathies and asymptomatic control patients.…Are inflammatory bowel disease and/or treatment with aminosalicylates protective factors against Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To analyze the association between aminosalicylate-treated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD-A) and Parkinson´s disease (PD) at population level. Background: According to the dual-hit hypothesis, the…Differences of gut bacterial community relate to pathology progress in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine whether intestinal microbiota correlate with progression of clinical severity and serum inflammation marker. Background: Constipation is…Correlation analysis for postural instability and autonomic dysfunction in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate correlation between postural instability and autonomic dysfunction in early stage Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Brainstem pathology may link postural instability (PI) and…The relationship among clinical features, DAT scintigraphy and MIBG cardiac scintigraphy in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate correlations among clinical features of Parkinson's disease (PD), odor stick identification test for Japanese (OSIT-J) score,…Assessment of brainstem function with blink reflex variations in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the brainstem function with different variations of blink reflex studies in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Although PD presents principally as a movement…Relationship of muscular strength with cardiovascular function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Therefore, the current study examined handgrip strength (Hgs), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP, pulse (PP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP), and rate pressure…
