Partial pharmacologic blockade shows sympathetic connection between blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity fluctuations [PDF]
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) dampens transfer of blood pressure (BP)-fluctuations onto cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). Thus, CBFV-oscillations precede BP-oscillations.

Pyridostigmine Treatment Trial in Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]
Midodrine hydrochloride is the only drug demonstrated in a placebo-controlled treatment trial to improve orthostatic hypotension (OH) but it significantly worsens supine hypertension. By enhancing ganglionic transmission, pyridostigmine bromide can potentially ameliorate OH without worsening supine hypertension.To evaluate the efficacy of a single 60 ...

Natural history of falls in an incident cohort of Parkinson’s disease: early evolution, risk and protective features [PDF]
The natural history of falls in early Parkinson’s disease (PD) is poorly understood despite the profound effect of falls on outcome. The primary aim of this study was to describe the natural history of falls, and characterise fallers over 54 months in 99

Cardiac 123I-MIBG Scintigraphy in Neurodegenerative Parkinson Syndromes: Performance and Pitfalls in Clinical Practice [PDF]
Purpose: Cardiac [I-123]metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy (123I-MIBG), reflecting postganglionic cardiac autonomic denervation, is proposed for early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD; reduced tracer uptake) and separation from Multiple System ...

Association between Orthostatic Hypotension and Dementia in Patients with Parkinson Disease and Multiple System Atrophy [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) increases dementia risk in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), although the underlying mechanisms and whether a similar association between OH and cognitive impairment exists in other ...
