A case of dystonia-parkinsonism associated with a heterozygous PRKRA (DYT16) gene mutation
Objective: We describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a case of dystonia-parkinsonism associated with a heterozygous mutation in the initiator methionine of the…Effects of white matter hyperintensities, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and cognition on activities of daily living: Differences between Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: To investigate if White matter hyperintensities (WMHs), neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive performance associate with, and/or predict activities of daily living (ADLs) differently in Alzheimer’s…Informant vs. Self-ratings of Activities of Daily Living in Parkinson’s Disease patients
Objective: To compare patient and informant ratings of impairments in activities of daily living (ADL) of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. Background: Valid ratings of ADL…RELATION BETWEEN COGNITIVE INHIBITORY CONTROL AND ANTICIPATORY POSTURAL ADJUSTMENT DURING A CONFLICTUAL STEP INITIATION TASK IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE INDIVIDUALS.
Objective: Verify the association of inhibitory control on anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) during a conflictual step initiation task in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background:…Is cognitive performance related to motor performance among people with Parkinson disease?
Objective: To examine the relationship between cognitive and motor functioning among people with Parkinson disease (PD). Background: PD is a disabling, chronic condition affecting both…EIF4G1 gene variants in a family affected by Parkinson´s disease
Objective: Describe a novel mutation on a family affected by Parkinson´s disease. Background: 46 years old woman. She came to hospital complaining about tremor and…α-Synuclein in sympathetic nerve fibers distinguishes PRKN from LRRK2 and other genetic forms of Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: This cross-sectional observational study compared magnitudes of intra-neuronal deposition of α-synuclein in common and rare genetic forms of Parkinson’s disease. Background: Cytoplasmic inclusions of…Blood-based circulating microRNAs for discriminating between Parkinson’s disease subtypes
Objective: The aim of this study was to establish candidate blood miRNAs biomarkers for PD by comparing differences in miRNAs expression between distinct PD subtypes. Background: Blood…LIPAD (LRRK2/Luebeck) International Parkinson’s Disease Study: Protocol and feasibility study
Objective: To systematically assess clinical signs and symptoms including non-motor features, comorbidities, medication and environmental factors in 1,000 participants internationally: 300 with LRRK2 (Leucine-rich repeat…Fatty acids and Glucocerebrosidase activity as potential biomarkers of stearyl-CoA desaturase inhibition; an observational study of inter and intraday variation in healthy volunteers and patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study aimed to assess the naturally occurring levels and variation in plasma fatty acids (FA) and ceramide metabolism in healthy volunteers (HV) and…
