Longitudinal change in thalamic white matter macrostructure and volume in Parkinson’s disease depression
Objective: To investigate thalamic subnuclei volume and macrostructural white matter changes in Parkinson’s disease (PD) depression. Background: Depression is the most common neuropsychiatric feature of…Dynamic functional connectivity changes in Parkinson’s disease patients with REM sleep behavior disorder
Objective: Our aim was to explore dynamic network connection changes in PD patients with RBD. Background: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is…Association of presynaptic dopaminergic denervation with therapeutic effects of globus pallidus deep brain stimulation on freezing of gait in advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the association of presynaptic dopaminergic denervation with the therapeutic effect of globus pallidus (GPi) DBS in advanced PD patients with FOG. Background:…Reduced cerebral energy metabolism in Parkinson’s disease in contrast to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: To determine the significance of 31P-MRSI to differentiate between idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and healthy control subjects. Background: Bioenergetic disturbances,…VMAT2 availability in Parkinson’s Disease with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behaviour Disorder
Objective: To use [11C]DTBZ PET imaging to explore vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) availability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with and without rapid eye movement sleep…Increased free-water in the substantia nigra in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder
Objective: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that free water is elevated in the posterior substantia nigra of idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behaviour…Beta synchronization of the subthalamic nucleus during self-initiated and externally generated movement in parkinsonian patients in OFF and ON states
Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate the level of beta synchronization of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) evoked by internally and externally generated…The impact of fatigue and pain on functional mobility, fear of falling, and falls in Individuals with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This is a cross-sectional pilot study aiming to examine: (1) the relationship of fatigue and pain with functional mobility, fear of falling (FOF), and falls in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), (2) differences in fatigue and pain between PD fallers and non-fallers, and (3) distinguishing…Relationship between low back pain-related disability and motor performance in people with Parkinson disease
Objective: To determine the relationship between low back pain (LBP)-related disability and physical performance in people with Parkinson disease (PD). Background: Low back pain is…Evaluating the Relationship between Apathy and Grit as it Relates to Participation in a Community Exercise Program in the Population with Parkinson’s Disease.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the relationship between apathy levels of the PD individual and apathy levels of their caregiver.…
