Lewy bodies and olfactory dysfunction in old age.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that Lewy body disease impairs late life olfactory function even in otherwise asymptomatic individuals and suggested that impairedOlfactory performance may aid detection of underlying LewyBody disease.

Prevalence of depression in Parkinson's disease: Effects of disease stage, motor subtype and gender ☆

TL;DR: The data did not show a difference in the prevalence of depression between the motor subtypes and showed a trend towards higher prevalence of depressed patients in the tremor dominant group, and there was no significant difference between men and women.

Sleep Disturbances in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to assess the nature of sleep disturbance in PD and to correlate the PSG variables with the clinical findings and several sleep scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

Handwriting in patients with Parkinson disease: effect of L-dopa and stimulation of the sub-thalamic nucleus on motor anticipation.

TL;DR: In PD patients, contrary to healthy participants, the percentage of time taken by the down-stroke of the second l did not vary as a function of the spatial constraints of the following letter (l or n), and the handwriting of the PD patients did not exhibit any sign of motor anticipation.

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).
