Diagnostic reliability of clinical symptoms in patients with incomplete manifestation of the triad of parkinsonism compared to 18F-DOPA PET-CT MRI imaging
Objective: To describe the diagnostic reliability of the triad of clinical symptoms compared to the uptake of 18 F-DOPA PET-CT fusion MRI scan. To compare…The initial motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease in relation to age at onset and gender: A Sri Lankan perspective
Objective: To investigate whether the predominant initial PD motor symptom is associated with gender or age of onset of PD in Sri Lanka. Background: Studies…Effect of L-DOPA on re-emergent tremor in Parkinson’s disease: A neurophysiological assessment
Objective: To conduct a neurophysiological analysis on the postural re-emergence of tremor in PD patients during an acute L-DOPA challenge test. Background: Some patients with…The patient’s perspective: The effect of dopamine on Parkinson symptoms
Objective: To investigate the correlation between patient-based vs. clinician-based L-Dopa effects on PD symptoms in tremor-dominant patients. Background: Medication adjustments are often solely based on…Dystonia in a medieval scribe: Analysis of Bernard Blancard’s handwriting over four decades
Objective: We evaluate the dated documents of a French scribe, which span the late 13th and early 14th centuries, in order to reach a diagnosis…To new method of tremor assessment
Objective: To develop a new approach to quantitative assessment of Parkinson's tremor based on the calculation of the area of recorded wave of tremor at…Anxiety and parkinsonism signs in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
Objective: To explore the relationship between parkinsonism signs and anxiety symptoms in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Background: A recent study reported…Twelve-week sensor assessment in Parkinson’s disease: Impact on quality of life
Objective: To evaluate the effects of using wearables over a long time period on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Nystagmus in harmaline induced tremors in rats and attenuation with ethanol
Objective: To study nystagmus in harmaline induced tremor (HIT) in rats. Background: Clinical observations have shown the presence of nystagmus in some patients with essential…Ambulatory assessment of tremor
Objective: To develop ambulatory assessment of tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) throughout the day, in relationship to treatment and fluctuations in bradykinesia. Background: PD is…
