Is levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease associated with increased blood brain barrier permeability and volumetric changes?
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the angiogenetic hypothesis for Levodopa-induced-dyskinesia (LID) using advanced MRI methods in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Symptom progression in a large cohort of Parkinson’s disease cases in a clinical practice setting
Objective: To assess the temporal profile of motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson's disease is characterized by varying combinations of motor and…Detailed evaluation of dyskinesias using multiple endpoints in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Parkinson’s disease patients with motor fluctuations
Objective: To analyze all dyskinesia data from a Phase 2b trial of fluctuating Parkinson patients in order to understand the overall impact a study drug…Construction of a levodopa-response index from wearable sensors for quantifying Parkinson’s disease motor functions: Preliminary results
Objective: The goal of the study is to investigate whether wrist worn motion sensors are feasible tools to measure motor functions in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Intrastriatal injection of ionomycin profoundly changes motor response to L-DOPA and its underlying molecular mechanisms
Objective: We investigated whether intrastriatal injection of ionomycin to hemiParkinsonian rats produced changes in L-DOPA responses including LID and analyzed the effects of ionomycin on…Are clinical certainty ratings helpful in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To determine whether clinical certainty ratings are helpful in predicting pathologically proven PD. Background: Clinical diagnostic criteria for PD rely on rest tremor, bradykinesia,…Objective movement recording in PD patient before and after STN-DBS
Objective: Case study: objective recording of motor fluctuations and dyskinesia in PD patient before and after STN-DBS by using continuous accelerometry system and automated computer…Age associated effects of levodopa administration on striatal acetylcholinesterase activity
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term effects of levodopa on acetylcholinesterase activity in young and old rat brain striatum.…ADCY5 screening in paediatric-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders: Report of three new Italian families
Objective: To report three new cases with pathogenic ADCY5 mutations and describe their clinical phenotype. Background: ADCY5 is a recently identified gene responsible for a…Developing a new home monitoring device for dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate how accurately a new device can discriminate different clinical severities of dyskinesia from non-dyskinetic movements in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background:…
