Presence of freezing and naming abilities in Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: It is found that mildly cognitive impaired patients with PD and freezing are less impaired than comparable patients withPD and no freezing in action naming rather than in object naming, and the presence of freezing can induce patients to create behavioural strategies, by offering major care on carrying out executive tasks, including verb naming.
Journal Article

The role of a movement disorders clinic.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a national registry of IPD and audit of the delivery of care to patients with movement disorders is needed.

Rapid onset of efficacy of rasagiline in early Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: Rasagiline had a rapid therapeutic effect from the first week of therapy, which further improved at 4 weeks, and the rapid onset of action and the absence of a dose titration are important issues in the management of the PD patient.

Dopamine Transporter Imaging has no Impact on Functional Outcomes in de Novo Probable Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: In patients with early, probable PD, DaTSCAN contributes no additional impact on clinical management or functional outcomes when added to the diagnostic algorithm.

TL;DR: The combined clinimetric results of this study support the validity of the MDS‐UPDRS for rating PD.

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).
