Clinical, environmental, and Technology-based gait measures in PD patients from a rural area in southwestern Colombia: a case-control pilot study
Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics, environmental exposures, and technology-based gait assessment of a sample of Parkinson’s disease patients in a rural area in southwestern of…Environmental exposures and clinical phenotype in a sample of patients with Parkinson’s disease in the southwestern Colombian region: preliminary results
Objective: Describe the clinical phenotype and environmental agents of patients from the Colombian southwestern region with familiar and sporadic Parkinson’s disease in a sample Background:…Pesticide Exposure in PD with and without Genetic Risk Variants
Objective: To evaluate the association between pesticide exposure and development of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in idiopathic and genetic PD, and to determine whether clinical features…An Apparent Cluster of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in a Golf Community
Objective: Objective: To describe an apparent cluster of PD in a golf community Background: Golf courses may use more pesticides/acre than are employed in agriculture. Certain…Association of environmental exposure to herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides used in agriculture with incidence of Parkinson’s disease in the French general population
Objective: To examine the association of exposure to categories of pesticides (H-I-F) with PD incidence in the French general population. Background: Environmental exposure to pesticides…Parkinson’s Disease and the Law: Motor and Non-Motor Determinants in Medical Courts Cases
Objective: We reviewed the legal issues involving PD patients in Italy and United Kingdom and correlated these findings with the clinical condition of the involved…Are New York City rail tracks harbingers for Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To describe the clinical features of 7 New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (NYC MTA) rail-track workers with Parkinson’s disease (PD) presenting to a…Rotenone exposure is associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in humans
Objective: To determine if mtDNA damage can serve as a biomarker of prior pesticide exposure. Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of PD, and exposure…Long-term effects of air pollution on the risk of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between air pollution, including fine particulate matter (particles 2.5 mm in diameter, or PM2.5), and the risk of…Heavy metals implicated in a geographical cluster of progressive supranuclear palsy induce tau accumulation and apoptotic cell death in cultured neurons
Objective: To test the hypothesis that certain metals may cause cellular damage suggesting tauopathy. This is an early step in testing the hypothesis that environmental…
