Parkinsonism in Spinocerebellar Ataxia

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2015
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) presents heterogeneous clinical phenotypes, and parkinsonism is reported in diverse SCA subtypes. Both levodopa responsive Parkinson disease (PD) like phenotype and atypical parkinsonism have been described especially in SCA2,

Exploring Nasal Structural‐Microbial Interactions in Multiple Sclerosis‐Associated Olfactory Impairment

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is frequently observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To date, no studies have directly examined the nasal mucosal microbiota in MS. This study aimed to explore potential relationships among olfactory function, nasal microbiota composition,

High rates of parkinsonism in adults with autism

open access: yesJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2015
BackgroundWhile it is now recognized that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is typically a life-long condition, there exist only a handful of systematic studies on middle-aged and older adults with this condition.MethodsWe first performed a structured ...

Pathways to Parkinsonism [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2003
A novel gene for Parkinson's disease (PD), DJ-1, has been identified that encodes a multifunctional product with several known protein-protein interactions and effects on gene expression. Here, I outline how it is possible to construct hypotheses that place DJ-1 in different relationships to the other known PD genes, alpha-synuclein and parkin.

CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the

Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation; unifying theories. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterised by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated ...

Moyamoya Disease and the Risk of Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the progressive narrowing of arteries at the base of the brain, forming abnormal collateral vascular networks. While vascular parkinsonism is noted in MMD, its link to Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been explored.

The Impact of Tilburg Frailty on Poststroke Fatigue in First‐Ever Stroke Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study With Unified Measurement Tools and Improved Statistics

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Poststroke fatigue (PSF) and frailty share substantial overlap in their manifestations, yet previous research has yielded conflicting results due to the use of heterogeneous frailty assessment tools. Objective To evaluate the independent impact of frailty on PSF using a unified measurement system (Tilburg Frailty Indicator, TFI ...

Parkinsonism caused by adverse drug reactions: a case series

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Parkinsonism puts a high direct cost burden on both patient and caregiver. Several reports of drug-induced parkinsonism have been published, but to the best of our knowledge, there has not been any report of quinine or halothane inducing ...
