Clinical utility of DaTscan™ (123I-ioflupane injection) in the diagnosis of Parkinsonian syndromes

TL;DR: The clinical utility of DaTscan™ (123I-Ioflupane injection) and its diagnostic value in Parkinson's disease and the other Parkinsonian syndromes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and cognitive profiles of patients with both Parkinson's disease and essential tremor.

TL;DR: ET–PD patients differed from PD patients, showing more frequent familial tremor histories and lower levodopa responsiveness, and this patient population also demonstrated more severe cognitive impairments than pure-ET patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Novel fMRI Compatible Visual Perception Prototype Battery to Test Older People With and Without Dementia

TL;DR: Distinct visuoperceptual functions can be tested in patients with dementia and extrapyramidal motor features when tests use individualized thresholds, adapted tasks, and specialized response systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clock drawing test: is it useful for dementia screening in patients having Parkinson disease with and without depression?

TL;DR: It is indicated that CDT is a suitable screening instrument in patients with PD, but test results from patients with depression warrant careful consideration, according to the estimated classification performances and predictive values.

Colonic inflammation in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that enteric inflammation occurs in Parkinson's disease and further reinforce the role of peripheral inflammation in the initiation and/or the progression of the disease.

Effects of pedunculopontine nucleus area stimulation on gait disorders in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Although freezing of gait can be improved by low-frequency electrical stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus area in some patients with Parkinson's disease, the overall results are disappointing compared to the high levels of expectation raised by previous open label studies.

The Clinically Important Difference on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional analysis of the CIDs for UPDRS total and motor scores was performed on patients with Parkinson disease (PD) using distribution-and anchor-based approaches based on the following external standards: disability (10% on the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale), disease stage (1 stage on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale), and quality of life (1 SD on the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey).
