Journal ArticleDOI
Depression in Parkinson's disease. Diffusion tensor imaging study.
Hideaki Matsui,Kazuto Nishinaka,Masaya Oda,Hidekazu Niikawa,Kenichi Komatsu,Tamotsu Kubori,Fukashi Udaka +6 more
TL;DR: The anterior cingulate bundles play an important role in depression in Parkinson’s disease, and some aspects of depression in PD have pathological processes in common with de novo depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoperfusion of the visual pathway in parkinsonian patients with visual hallucinations.
Hideaki Matsui,Kazuto Nishinaka,Masaya Oda,Narihiro Hara,Kenichi Komatsu,Tamotsu Kubori,Fukashi Udaka +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of perfusion changes in parkinsonian patients with visual hallucinations using single photon emission computed tomography imaging suggested that hypoperfusion of the visual pathway was closely related to visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake in Parkinson's disease correlate with major autonomic symptoms?
TL;DR: MIBG uptake did not significantly correlate with age, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr stage, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor score or levodopa equivalent daily doses, and there were no significant correlations between orthostatic hypotension/constipation and cardiac M IBG uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in Parkinson's disease: diffusion tensor imaging.
Hideaki Matsui,Kazuto Nishinaka,Masaya Oda,Hidekazu Niikawa,Kenichi Komatsu,Tamotsu Kubori,Fukashi Udaka +6 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to evaluate various cognitive functions in non‐demented patients with PD, and to compare the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of PD patients with and without executive dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minor depression and brain perfusion images in Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: Comparisons between brain perfusion images of Parkinson's disease patients with and without depression found hypoperfusion of the left superior and inferior frontal gyrus was demonstrated in depressed patients, but could not conclude on whether pathophysiological mechanisms differed between de novo depression and depression with Parkinson's Disease.
