Using quantitative susceptibility mapping and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to identify structural features of early-stage Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify an imaging diagnostic biomarker of PD for use in clinics by applying structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Background: The midbrain dopaminergic…Quantitative susceptibility mapping of basal ganglia and related structures: correlation with disease severity in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: We examined whether magnetic susceptibility estimates from deep gray matter structures in patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) correlated with clinical measures of disease…Apathy in Parkinson’s disease: serum biochemical markers and clinical features
Objective: This study aims to explore clinical features and blood biochemical markers of apathy in PD. Background: Apathy is one of the most common non-motor…Epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical characteristics of metals accumulation in brain in childhood
Objective: The aim of our study is to describe epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical characteristics of metals accumulation in brain in children. Background: Movement disorders can…Quantitative susceptibility mapping images for the parcellation of the Subthalamic Nucleus: a possible role for targeting Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To investigate the iron distribution in STN in PD patients using QSM images. Background: Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is considered an effective treatment…Elevated nigral iron is associated with low plasma serotonin in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this work was to determine whether plasma serotonin levels in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are related to iron levels in the brain,…Visualization of Nigrosome 1 at 3T MRI and 18F-DOPA PET for the diagnosis of Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To determine and compare the utility of Nigrosome 1 at 3T MRI and 18F-DOPA PET for the diagnosis of Parkinson´s disease. Background: Differential diagnosis…Restless legs syndrome in a patient with hereditary hemochromatosis
Objective: We present a case with two disorders, hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), each related to the two ends of the spectrum…Speculation on the timing of iron deposition in the putamen of patients with multiple system atrophy: multimodal MRI study
Objective: We sought to investigate the temporal pattern of iron deposition in the putamen of patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) by calculating conditional probabilities…The interaction between iron metabolism and inflammation in Parkinson´s disease: an in vivo and post mortem study
Objective: To assess the relationship iron and inflammatory markers in an in vivo and post mortem study of Parkinson´s disease subjects. Background: Although neuroinflammation and…
