Clinical and genetic analysis of psychosis in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association of seven selected polymorphisms of DRD2, ANKK1, COMT and DAT genes with Parkinson’s disease psychosis (PDP) onset.…Behavioral effects of stimulated dopamine release and D2-like receptor displacement in Parkinson’s patients with impulse control disorder
Objective: To evaluate behavioral effects of stimulated dopamine (DA) release in Parkinson’s disease (PD) by assessing D2/3 receptor (DA-R) displacement on PET imaging Background: Previous…Role of S100B in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: This review aims to analyze studies on the implication of S100B in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and shed light on Pentamidine as a novel treatment in…Childhood-Onset Hemidystonia: A Transportophaty related to SLC6A3 missense mutation
Objective: To present the case of a childhood-onset hemidystonia carrying a homozygous SLC6A3 missense mutation. Background: Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or…Graph theory analysis of dopamine D2 receptor network in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore a novel method of analyzing positron emission tomography (PET) data using graph theory analysis. To this…Levodopa-induced dyskinesias and substantia nigra dopamine D3 receptor availability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate with PET and the radioligand [11C]PHNO whether levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson disease (PD) are associated with dopamine-D3 receptor (D3R) overexpression in substantia nigra…Neuroimaging Extra-Striatal D2 Receptors in Parkinson’s Disease with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behaviour Disorder
Objective: Our aim was to characterize the extra-striatal dopamine in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with and without rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) using in…The influence of ANNK1/DRD2 haplotypes on the onset of complications of long-term levodopa therapy in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate an influence of selected polymorphisms in DRD2 and ANKK1 genes on the occurrence of complications of long-term levodopa therapy in Serbian PD…Usefulness of Cardiac MIBG Scintigraphy, DAT scan and midbrain/pontine ratio to differentiate Parkinson disease from atypical parkinsonian syndrome
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of cardiac 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake, Dopamine transporter (DAT) scan and midbrain/pontine ratio (M/P ratio)…Relationship between striatal dopamine depletion and various non-motor symptoms in non-demented patients with Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study
Objective: We aimed to investigate associations of striatal dopamine uptake and various non-motor symptoms in non-demented patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Dopamine transporter (DAT)…
