Amylin deposition in the brain of Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the presence of amylin deposits in the brain of subjects with synucleinopathies. Background: The link between…Predictors of Retention for Carbidopa/Levodopa Intestinal Gel in Parkinson Disease
Objective: To identify predictors of discontinuation of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel therapy. Background: Although levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is an established treatment for Parkinson's disease complicated…Parkinson’s Disease Presentation in Calabar, Nigeria
Objective: To create a database and describe the presentation of Parkinson's disease patients at the sole tertiary hospital in Calabar, southern Nigeria. Background: Parkinson's disease…Unraveling biological processes implicated in MSA and PD by transcriptomic analysis
Objective: To find differential biological processes between synucleinopathies (MSA and PD). Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an oligodendroglial sinucleinopathy that is often misdiagnosed as…Braak model in Parkinson disease using MRI biomarkers
Objective: The aim of this study was to test using multimodal MRI biomarkers if the pattern of neurodegeneration in the brain of patients with PD…A Lewy body disease of widely confirmed Lewy bodies in the cerebral cortexes including the occipital lobe without pathological changes in the hippocampal CA2/3 region
Objective: We present Lewy body disease (LBD) showing unique neuropathological findings which are widely recognized Lewy bodies (LBs) in the cerebral cortexes including the occipital…BST1 rs4698412 allelic variant increases the risk of gait or balance deficits in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to explore effects of bone marrow stromal cell antigen‐1 (BST1) rs4698412 allelic variant on brain activation and associative clinical symptoms in Parkinson’s…Exercise and physical activity for people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: To (i) evaluate the literature on exercise and physical activity for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and (ii) make PSP-specific recommendations for exercise programs and trial…The congruence of asymmetry between motor symptoms and retinal thickness in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To analyze the relationship between interocular difference of retinal thickness and motor asymmetry in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: It is known that the early…Deep mitochondrial sequencing in Parkinson’s disease reveals possible genetic modifiers of reduced penetrance in Parkin/PINK1 mutation carriers
Objective: To discover potential penetrance biomarkers in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for Parkin and PINK1 mutation carriers. Background: Biallelic mutations in Parkin and PINK1 are fully…
