Journal ArticleDOI
Baseline and longitudinal grey matter changes in newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease: ICICLE-PD study
Elijah Mak,Li Su,Guy B. Williams,Michael J. Firbank,Rachael A Lawson,Alison J. Yarnall,Gordon W Duncan,Adrian M. Owen,Tien K. Khoo,David J. Brooks,David J. Brooks,James B. Rowe,James B. Rowe,Roger A. Barker,David J. Burn,John T. O'Brien +15 more
TL;DR: Patients with PDMCI show accelerated cortical thinning compared to non-cognitively impaired patients and healthy controls, which may constitute biomarkers for increased dementia risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum immune markers and disease progression in an incident Parkinson's disease cohort (ICICLE-PD)
Caroline H. Williams-Gray,Ruwani Wijeyekoon,Alison J. Yarnall,Rachael A Lawson,David P. Breen,Jonathan R. Evans,Gemma Cummins,Gordon W Duncan,Tien K. Khoo,David J. Burn,Roger A. Barker +10 more
TL;DR: Investigation of whether immune markers in peripheral blood are candidate prognostic biomarkers through determining their relationship with disease progression in Parkinson's disease found them to be related to disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive decline and quality of life in incident Parkinson's disease: The role of attention
Rachael A Lawson,Alison J. Yarnall,Gordon W Duncan,David P. Breen,Tien K. Khoo,Caroline H. Williams-Gray,Roger A. Barker,Daniel Collerton,John-Paul Taylor,David J. Burn +9 more
TL;DR: Cognitive impairment had a greater impact on QoL in individuals who developed dementia over follow-up and Interventions which improve concentration and attention in those with PD could potentially improveQoL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severity of mild cognitive impairment in early Parkinson's disease contributes to poorer quality of life
Rachael A Lawson,Alison J. Yarnall,Gordon W Duncan,Tien K. Khoo,David P. Breen,Roger A. Barker,Daniel Collerton,John-Paul Taylor,David J. Burn +8 more
TL;DR: Logistic regression showed that mild cognitive impairment, independent of other factors, was an indicator of poorer QoL and has implications for clinical practice and future interventions targeting cognitive impairments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait Rather Than Cognition Predicts Decline in Specific Cognitive Domains in Early Parkinson's Disease.
Rosie Morris,Sue Lord,Rachael A Lawson,Shirley Coleman,Brook Galna,Gordon W Duncan,Tien K. Khoo,Alison J. Yarnall,David J. Burn,Lynn Rochester +9 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided for gait as a clinical biomarker for PD cognitive decline in early disease by predicting decline in fluctuating attention and visual memory, whereas baseline neuropsychological assessment performance did not predict decline.
