GI Symptoms, Energy Balance and Nutrition Assessment in Parkinson's disease

Ann Gaba
TL;DR: The nature of problems of Parkinson’s disease as described in research literature are described, and some suggestions as to how these issues may be addressed are offered.

Metagenomics of the Gut Microbiome in Parkinson's Disease: Prodromal Changes.

TL;DR: In this article , a nested case-control study within two large epidemiological cohorts was conducted to examine the role of the gut microbiome in Parkinson's disease (PD) and features suggestive of prodromal PD.

Interaction of an α-synuclein epitope with HLA-DRB1*15:01 initiates early enteric features of Parkinson’s disease in humanized mice

TL;DR: It is reported that an interaction between α-syn32-46 and HLA-DRB1*15:01 induces gut inflammation and CD4+ T cell-mediated loss of enteric dopaminergic neurons in the humanized mice, suggesting a critical role in the prodromal PD.

The Footprint of Kynurenine Pathway in Neurodegeneration: Janus-Faced Role in Parkinson’s Disorder and Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: The role of the kynurenine pathway (KP) and its metabolites and enzymes in Parkinson's disease was investigated in this article, where the authors detail the neurotoxic, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory neuroactive components, alongside the upstream and downstream metabolic pathways of KP, forming a basis for a therapeutic paradigm of the disease while recognizing KP as a potential biomarker in PD, thus facilitating the development of a suitable target in PD management.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a clinico-pathological study of 100 cases.

TL;DR: The pathological findings in 100 patients diagnosed prospectively by a group of consultant neurologists as having idiopathic Parkinson's disease are reported, and these observations call into question current concepts of Parkinson's Disease as a single distinct morbid entity.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Reactive microglia are positive for HLA‐DR in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease brains

TL;DR: The detected large numbers of HLA-DR-positive reactive microglia (macrophages) in the substantia nigra of all cases studied with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism and suggest a frequent coexistence of DAT- and Parkinson-type pathology in elderly patients.
