Revisiting the Medical Management of Parkinson's Disease: Levodopa versus Dopamine Agonist
The optimal treatment strategy for Parkinson's disease has been debated for decades. The introduction of levodopa (LD) treatment is frequently delayed because of theoretical concerns about its toxicity or the risk of drug-induced motor complications ...

Rapid quantitative pharmacodynamic imaging by a novel method: theory, simulation testing and proof of principle [PDF]
Pharmacological challenge imaging has mapped, but rarely quantified, the sensitivity of a biological system to a given drug. We describe a novel method called rapid quantitative pharmacodynamic imaging. This method combines pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, repeated small doses of a challenge drug over a short time scale, and functional imaging

Dopamine agonists (DAs) are the first-line treatment for prolactinomas, which account for 25–30% of functioning pituitary adenomas, and bromocriptine (BRC) is the only commercially available DAs in China. However, tumors are resistant to therapy in 5–18%

Mechanisms Underlying Dopaminergic Regulation of Nicotine-Induced Kinetic Tremor
Nicotine induces kinetic tremor, which resembles pharmacological features of essential tremors, via activating the inferior olive (IO) neurons. Since nicotine is known to enhance dopamine release by stimulating α4β2 and/or α6 nACh receptors, we examined ...

Aripiprazole-induced hyperprolactinemia in a young female with delusional disorder
Hyperprolactinemia is a common adverse effect of antipsychotic medication. Switching over to aripiprazole or adjunctive aripiprazole has been advocated for optimal management of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia.

We aimed to assess the prevalence of impulse control disorders (ICDs) in patients with prolactin‐secreting adenomas treated with dopamine agonists (DAs), to identify associated factors and to compare it with a group of patients with nonfunctioning ...
