Conversion of patients from immediate release carbidopa-levodopa (IR CD-LD) and sustained release carbidopa-levodopa (SR CD-LD) to extended-release carbidopa-levodopa (ER CD-LD) in clinical practice
Objective: To evaluate the real-world response of patients who are converted from IR CD-LD and SR CD-LD to ER CD-LD in an academic practice. Background:…Dopamine dysregulation syndrome /DDS/ in LCIG infusion: Successful treatment without interrupting the pump therapy
Objective: Here we report the case of a 49-year-old man with a 19 years history of PD presenting DDS while he was on LCIG therapy.…A comparison of deep brain stimulation and continuous intrajejunal levodopa infusion in advanced Parkinson’s disease: The INVEST study
Objective: To compare costs and effectiveness of the therapies DBS and CLI in advanced PD. Background: The therapies deep brain stimulation (DBS) and continuous intrajejunale…MEK inhibitors have antidyskinetic effects in hemiParkinsonian rats that are associated with critical neurochemical alterations in the striatum
Objective: To examine the effects of MEK inhibitors PD98059 and U0126 on L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia and the induced molecular changes. Background: L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) represents one…Preliminary results of a cross-linguistic comparison on dysarthria in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effects of language, disease duration, and medication on acoustic and prosodic parameters in the speech of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…Improvement of freezing of gait with intestinal levodopa infusion in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine whether levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusion is able to improve freezing of gait (FOG) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: FOG…Selective M4 antagonism potentiates L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated common marmosets
Objective: To determine the role of M4 muscarinic receptors in the expression of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) and dystonia in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated common marmosets. Background:…Intrastriatal injection of ionomycin profoundly changes motor response to L-DOPA and its underlying molecular mechanisms
Objective: We investigated whether intrastriatal injection of ionomycin to hemiParkinsonian rats produced changes in L-DOPA responses including LID and analyzed the effects of ionomycin on…Characterization of burning mouth syndrome in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) in a Parkinson's disease (PD) population through a self-administered survey. Background: The majority…
