Screening of posterior cortical dysfunction in early Parkinson’s disease with mild cognitive impairment as an approach to select patients at higher risk for developing dementia
Objective: Based on the importance of progressive dysfunction of posterior cortical regions in cognitive deterioration in PD, we explored whether posterior cortical dysfunction in early…Catechol-o-methyltransferase Val158Met polymorphism influences prefrontal executive function in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism has been proposed to be associated with increased risk of PD and have a specific impact on dopamine-mediated prefrontal…Gait and cognition: Mapping the global and discrete relationships in ageing and neurodegenerative disease
Objective: To explore current evidence of associations and predictors of gait and cognition in older adults and pathology to provide a clear understanding of current…Reliability of verbal and written trail test for individuals with Parkinson’s disease: Is it a good cognitive test?
Objective: To verify if the verbal trail test can replace the written trail test, seeing that individuals with PD show considerable motor abnormalities that can…Association or causation? Orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment in α-synucleinopathies: A systematic review
Objective: To systematically review the literature for evidence of an association between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment (CI) in α-synucleinopathies and to discuss possible…Treatment and diagnosis with the use of neuropsychological scale in patients with posttraumatic subcortical Parkinsonian dementia
Objective: To study the value of various neuropsychological scales to determine the degree of cognitive dysfunction in patients with posttraumatic subcortical Parkinsonian dementia, during the…The relationship between cognitive aspects (education status, executive function and verbal fluency) and motor aspects (balance and gait) in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to verify if there would be correlations between cognitive variables (educational status, executive function, verbal fluency) and motor…Dopaminergic drug management in Parkinson’s disease: Gait and language function show correlation during treatment
Objective: We examined the effects of dopaminergic medication adjustment on cognitive function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients without apparent dementia (Mini-Mental State Examination score of…Optic nerve integration as a visuospatial cognitive predictor in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the microstructural integrity of the optic nerve and its role as a cognitive predictor in patients with de novo Parkinson's disease (PD)…Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease and associated cognitive impairment
Objective: Our aim is to assess CSF levels of amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42), T-Tau, threonine-181 phosphorilated tau (P-Tau) and α-synuclein (α-syn) as well as different ratios of…
