Opioid K receptor variant delays the onset of dyskinesias in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the genetic factors modulating the timing of the onset of levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying LIDs…Long-duration response to levodopa in Parkinson’s disease is independent of disease duration: A prospective study on de novo patients in Ghana
Objective: To prospectively investigate the response to acute levodopa challenge in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) never treated before. Background: Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying motor…Discrimination of Parkinson’s disease participants from healthy controls using telephone-quality voice recordings
Objective: To test the practicality and efficacy of telephone-quality voice recordings to discriminate Parkinson's disease (PD) participants from healthy controls (HC). Background: Vocal performance degradation…Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic effects of apomorphine sublingual film (APL-130277) for the rapid management of OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Determine the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic effects of APL-130277 on OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: APL-130277 is a sublingual film being studied in…Increased cellular co-localization of tau fragment 1-368 and alpha-synuclein in two mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the distribution of a novel tau pathology and its interaction with alpha-synuclein in two mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Cleavage…MRI guided high-intensity focused ultrasond for the treatment of essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease: Clinical outcome and radiological findings of unilateral thalamotomy
Objective: To report our clinical experience in the treatment of essential (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor with MRI guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRgHIFU). Background:…Pronounced beta oscillations are a characteristic of the cortico-basal ganglia loop of subacute and chronic animal models of Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To compare the power spectral densities of local field potentials recorded from the cortico-basal ganglia loop of a subacute (reserpine) and a chronic (6-OHDA)…How do we make mistakes diagnosing movement disorders?
Objective: Analyze diagnostic errors in a Movement Disorder Section (MDS) in a public hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Background: Abnormal movements are a common complaint…Altered resting-state functional interhemispheric connectivity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine direct interhemispheric functional connectivity (FCi) in Parkinson's disease (PD) during resting-state fMRI and to investigate the relations between observed connectivity changes and…Comparison of DAT scan, cardiac MIBG scintigraphy, and cerebrospinal fluid 5HIAA levels in Parkinsonian syndrome
Objective: To assess the associations of presynaptic dopamine transporter (DAT scan), cardiac 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5HIAA)…
