Impact of chronic LD treatment on metabolism, blood flow and blood-brain barrier permeability in the 6-OHDA rat model
Objective: To determine the effects of chronic LD treatment and induction of dyskinesias on cerebral metabolism, blood flow and blood-brain barrier permeability in 6-OHDA rat…Telemedicine facilitates efficient and safe home titration of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To demonstrate feasibility of TM for LCIG home titration, evaluate resource use, and assess patient, neurologist and nurse satisfaction. Background: LCIG, is used for…Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel treatment in advanced Parkinson’s disease: A long-term observational study
Objective: To evaluate long-term efficacy, levodopa dose changes and complications in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated. Background: Administrated via percutaneous gastric gastrostomy to…Safety and tolerability of inhaled levodopa (CVT-301) administered to Parkinson’s disease patients with motor fluctuations
Objective: Two Phase 2 studies were conducted to evaluate the safety profile of inhaled CVT-301 administered to Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with motor fluctuations. Background:…Impact of comorbidities and compliance initiatives in management of patients with early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the impact of comorbidities and compliance iniciatives on treatment efficacy in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: In the year 2014 we included…The kinase Fyn mediates levodopa induced dyskinesias in Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To pharmacologically manipulate the kinase Fyn as a novel target to control levodopa induced dyskinesias. Background: The management of levodopa induced dyskinesias (LID) in…Levodopa impairs learning in healthy young adults: Implications for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective was to investigate the effect of dopaminergic therapy on healthy young adults to test the dopamine overdose hypothesis. Background: Dopaminergic therapy improves…Diurnal variation of levodopa plasma concentration in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We analyzed diurnal variation of levodopa plasma concentration in large number of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to clarify the pattern of diurnal variation.…Subthalamic deep brain stimulation vs. intraduodenal levodopa infusion: A long-term retrospective comparative study
Objective: To analyze the long-term retrospective data of patients treated with Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion (LCIG) and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in two…Status of NPF-QII after six years: Updates to the dataset
Objective: To describe the status and recent findings from the National Parkinson Foundation's Quality Improvement Initiative (NPF-QII), an 8,179 subject observational clinical study conducted at…
