Freezing of gait (FOG) in PD: Is electroencephalography (EEG) a gateway to elucidating the pathophysiology?
Objective: To assess EEG changes in PD patients during episodes of FOG. Background: FOG is a paroxysmal phenomenon, a brief episodic marked reduction in forward…Functional deficits during response inhibition improve after dopaminergic medication for Parkinson
Objective: To study the neural correlates of impulse control in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients before and after the start of dopamine replacement therapy (follow up…Nigrostriatal degeneration and serum BDNF levels in patients with “de novo” untreated Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate serum Brain-Derived NeurotrophicFactor(BDNF) levels in “de novo” untreated Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and their relationship to nigrostriatal degeneration measured with [123I]FP-CIT SPECT.…Arterial spin labeling perfusion MRI compensate for other diagnostic tools in evaluation of Parkinson’s disease with dementia
Objective: To test usefulness of arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI for diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (PD) with dementia. Background: Dopamine transporter (DAT) images may…Volumetry of the olfactory bulbs and tracts in the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonisms
Objective: The objective is to assess the use of the volumetry of OB & T as a parameter for distinguishing controls from patients with Parkinson's…A comparative study of clinical profile of patients of drug induced parkinsonism with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Drug induced parkinsonism (DIP), caused by various group of drugs, is second most common etiology of parkinsonism after Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). No major…Saliva swallowing frequency measured using 24-hours ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring in patients with Parkinson’s disease and drooling
Objective: To assess the feasibility of using 24-hours ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring (24-hAlpHM) to precisely measure saliva swallowing frequency (SSF) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Investigating the role of Parkin in mitigating oxidative stress
Objective: We are investigating the ability of Parkin protein to protect cells from oxidative stress (OS) and the mechanisms that underlie this function. We hypothesize…Bcr-Abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (B-ATKI) and Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: Looking through the Kaiser Permanente National Parkinson's disease Registry, generated through the electronic medical records (EMR), we took a first step in looking at…Lower levels of uric acid and striatal dopamine in non-tremor dominant Parkinson’s disease subtype
Objective: To investigate whether Parkinson's disease (PD) motor subtypes differ in their levels of uric acid (UA), and if these differences correlate with the degree…
