Objective: To explore the effects of STN-DBS and levodopa on cardiovascular autonomic function in PD. Background: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction has been shown in patients with…Alpha-synuclein aggregates of cardiac sympathetic nerves in synucleinopathies and in neurologically unimpaired subjects. Correlation with sympathetic denervation
Objective: To study the cardiac sympathetic innervation and its relationship with the incidence of alpha-synuclein deposits in heart tissue of synucleinopathies and asymptomatic control patients.…Are inflammatory bowel disease and/or treatment with aminosalicylates protective factors against Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To analyze the association between aminosalicylate-treated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD-A) and Parkinson´s disease (PD) at population level. Background: According to the dual-hit hypothesis, the…
