Parkinson's Law Quantified: Three Investigations on Bureaucratic Inefficiency [PDF]
, 2008 We formulate three famous, descriptive essays of C.N. Parkinson on bureaucratic inefficiency in a quantifiable and dynamical socio-physical framework. In the first model we show how the use of recent opinion formation models for small groups can be used to understand Parkinson's observation that decision making bodies such as cabinets or boards become ...

The differential diagnosis of Huntington's disease-like syndromes: 'red flags' for the clinician [PDF]
, 2013 A growing number of progressive heredodegenerative conditions mimic the presentation of Huntington's disease (HD). Differentiating among these HD-like syndromes is necessary when a patient with a combination of movement disorders, cognitive decline ...

Transient parkinsonism in isolated extrapontine myelinolysis [PDF]
, 2009 Extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) is a rare cause of parkinsonism. In this case report, we describe a 63-year-old woman with parkinsonism due to EPM after correction of hyponatremia. During a 4-year follow-up, both the clinical features of parkinsonism and

A 14‐Year Study of Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Total Tau in Premanifest Huntington's
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is a pressing need for blood biomarkers that can identify Huntington's disease (HD) gene carriers' proximity to manifest disease. We previously examined serial serum neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in 21 premanifest HD gene carriers and 14 controls over 14 years, finding that NfL demonstrates high prognostic value and distinct ...

A hierarchical coding-window model of Parkinson's disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Parkinson's disease is an ongoing challenge to theoretical neuroscience and to medical treatment. During the evolution of the disease, neurodegeneration leads to physiological and anatomical changes that affect the neuronal discharge of the Basal Ganglia to an extent that impairs normal behavioral patterns.

Striatal neuroinflammation promotes parkinsonism in rats [PDF]
, 2008 The specific role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease remains to be fully elucidated. By infusing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the striatum, we investigated the effect of neuroinflammation on the dopamine nigrostriatal ...

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).

PhoneMD: Learning to Diagnose Parkinson's Disease from Smartphone Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that can affect a person's movement, speech, dexterity, and cognition. Clinicians primarily diagnose Parkinson's disease by performing a clinical assessment of symptoms. However, misdiagnoses are common.

Harm avoidance is associated with progression of parkinsonism in community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that harm avoidance, a trait associated with behavioral inhibition, is associated with the rate of change in parkinsonism in older adults.
