Comparison of the utility of three cognitive scales for MDS Level-I diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease: MoCA, PD-CRS and ACE-III
Objective: To compare the utility for detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) of three abbreviated global scales: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the…Cytokines in CSF and plasma as potential biomarkers for PD cognitive impairment
Objective: To assess CSF and plasmatic levels of cytokines as potential biomarkers of PD and PD mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). Background: Neuroinflammation may play a…Participation in cognitively-stimulating activities and computer use are associated with better cognitive performance in Parkinson’s disease independent from nigrostriatal dopaminergic and cortical cholinergic degenerations
Objective: To investigate the relationship between times spent with cognitively stimulating activities and cognitive functions in Parkinson's disease (PD) while accounting for the degree of…The effect of dopamine on global versus specific inhibitory control in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of dopaminergic medication on inhibitory control using a novel go/no-go task in Parkinson's disease (PD). Global cognition and motor examination…Consolidation of learning and memory in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine if Parkinson's disease causes an impairment in the ability to consolidate learning into long-term memory and to determine if this deficit is…Assessment of cognitive-motor interference during an upper extremity motor task in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess cognitive-motor interference (CMI) and task prioritization during simultaneous performance of a cognitive task and an upper extremity motor task in Parkinson's disease…Cognitive profile in the Parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy: Findings from a Tunisian cohort
Objective: To establish the cognitive profile of MSA-P in a Tunisian cohort and to discuss its association with motor signs. Background: It has been previously…Deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus interna improves performance in complex oculomotor tasks
Objective: To compare and contrast the effects of deep brain stimulation of (a) the subthalamic nucleus and (b) the globus pallidus interna on advanced Parkinson's…Associations between cerebrospinal fluid proteins and cytokines in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins and cytokines, and their correlation with clinical measures in PD. Background: Several studies have investigated…Dynamic dopamine transporter images are helpful for diagnosing parkinsonism
Objective: This study is aimed at introducing a new method to get Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging simultaneously with regional cerebral flow (CBF) imaging. Background: DAT…
