TLDR
It is suggested that SOR determined from a single 10-min scan at 95 min is as accurate as K(i)(occ) in separating PD patients from healthy subjects and in predicting clinical measures of disease severity.

Results from a phase I safety trial of hAADC gene therapy for Parkinson disease

TL;DR: These initial findings demonstrate the safety of the therapy; higher doses of adeno-associated viral vector containing the human aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase gene in the next cohort of patients may further increase dopamine production in the putamen and provide more profound clinical benefit.

Assessment of neuroimaging techniques as biomarkers of the progression of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: During the 54(th) Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, a group of investigators active in the fields of biomakers, neuroimaging, and neuroprotection met to review the three techniques mentioned above and developed consensus on a set of 10 criteria for a neuroim imaging technique to be considered adequate as a biomarker for progression of PD.

Dopamine Cell Implantation in Parkinson's Disease: Long-Term Clinical and 18F-FDOPA PET Outcomes

TL;DR: Clinical benefit and graft viability are sustained up to 4 y after transplantation, and the dependence of clinical (but not imaging) outcomes on subject age and sex at 1 y may not persist over the long term.

Graphical Evaluation of Blood-to-Brain Transfer Constants from Multiple-Time Uptake Data:

TL;DR: A theoretical model of blood–brain exchange is developed and a procedure is derived that can be used for graphing multiple-time tissue uptake data and determining whether a unidirectional transfer process was dominant during part or all of the experimental period.

Graphical Evaluation of Blood-to-Brain Transfer Constants from Multiple-Time Uptake Data. Generalizations:

TL;DR: General equations are derived that can be used to analyze tissue uptake data when the blood–plasma concentration of the test substance cannot be easily measured and for situations when trapping of theTest substance is incomplete and for a combination of these two conditions.

Measuring the rate of progression and estimating the preclinical period of Parkinson’s disease with [18F]dopa PET

TL;DR: Estimation of mean rate of progression varies according to the sensitivity of a functional imaging method to clinical severity, and putamen Ki was the most sensitive measure of disease progression, caudate ratio the least.
