Journal ArticleDOI
Weight loss is associated with improvements in cognitive function among overweight and obese people: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Nicola Veronese,Silvia Facchini,Brendon Stubbs,Claudio Luchini,Marco Solmi,Enzo Manzato,Giuseppe Sergi,Stefania Maggi,Theodore D. Cosco,Luigi Fontana +9 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, intentional weight loss in obese/overweight people is associated with improvements in performance across various cognitive domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of cortical thickness associated with impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease.
Roberta Biundo,Luca Weis,Silvia Facchini,Patrizia Formento-Dojot,Annamaria Vallelunga,Manuela Pilleri,Daniel Weintraub,Angelo Antonini +7 more
TL;DR: The results support the involvement of both reward and response inhibition networks in PD patients with ICDs and observe a positive association relationship between severity of impulsive symptoms and left rostral middle frontal, inferior parietal, and supramarginal areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive profiling of Parkinson disease patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia
Roberta Biundo,Luca Weis,Silvia Facchini,Patrizia Formento-Dojot,Annamaria Vallelunga,Manuela Pilleri,Angelo Antonini +6 more
TL;DR: Different sensitivity and specificity among neuropsychological tests in detecting PD-MCI and PDD are found, which can help selection of appropriate cognitive batteries in longitudinal studies and definition of stage-specific therapeutic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain volume changes in Parkinson's disease and their relationship with cognitive and behavioural abnormalities
Roberta Biundo,Patrizia Formento-Dojot,Silvia Facchini,Annamaria Vallelunga,Luca Ghezzo,Luciano Foscolo,Francesca Meneghello,Angelo Antonini +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that PD is characterized by an overall loss of gray matter in pre-frontal regions, however, the contribution of these changes to the development of ICDs is marginal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of minocycline in schizophrenia
Marco Solmi,Nicola Veronese,Nita Thapa,Silvia Facchini,Brendon Stubbs,Michele Fornaro,André F. Carvalho,Christoph U. Correll +7 more
TL;DR: Minocycline appears to be an effective adjunctive treatment option in schizophrenia, improving multiple relevant disease dimensions and has an acceptable safety and tolerability profile.
