The Effect of Medical Theraphy On Plasma Homocysteine Levels and Carotid Intima-media Thickness in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: This study revealed that homocysteine levels in levodopa + dopa decarboxylase enzyme inhibitor (DDEI) group were increased which was correlated with a mild increasement of CMIT, suggesting the role of CIMT as a meaningful clinical marker for follow-up of patients with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive processes affect the gait of subjects with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease in dual tasks

TL;DR: Differences between groups reflect peculiarities of each disease and show a direct interference of cognitive processes on complex tasks in subjects with PD and AD.
Dissertation

Troubles du comportement en sommeil paradoxal idiopathiques et associés à la maladie de Parkinson : analyse comportementale et neurophysiologique du traitement des informations visuelles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) and Parkinson's disease and found that patients with RBD had a higher risk of early severe cognitive impairments than non-RBD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectral parameters for finger tapping quantification

TL;DR: In this paper, a miniature inertial sensor placed on fingertip of index finger while performing finger tapping test can be used for an objective quantification of finger tapping motion, which can provide crucial information about the patient's condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust Automated Step Extraction From Time-Series Contact Force Data Using the PDShoe

TL;DR: This method has been made robust with the use of seeded K-Means clustering, fast Fourier transformation (FFT) spectral analysis, and minimum window size rejection to produce well selected strides of active walking data.

- 15 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: The combined clinimetric results of this study support the validity of the MDS‐UPDRS for rating PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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).
