Depressive symptoms and perception of quality of life in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: This study corroborates the assumption that depressive symptoms contributed significantly to QoL in Parkinson's disease and found that higher scores on BDI correlated with poorer perception of theQoL.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-Synuclein Heterocomplexes with β-Amyloid Are Increased in Red Blood Cells of Parkinson's Disease Patients and Correlate with Disease Severity.

TL;DR: Data suggest α-syn hetero-aggregates in RBCs as a putative tool for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, and the combination of three parameters provided the best fitting predictive index for discriminating PD patients from controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pareidolia in Parkinson's disease without dementia: A positron emission tomography study

TL;DR: It is suggested that PD patients without dementia experience pareidolia more frequently than healthy controls and that posterior cortical dysfunction could be a common neural mechanism of paridolia and visual hallucinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial Effects of Ramelteon on Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Associated with Parkinson's Disease - Results of a Multicenter Open Trial.

TL;DR: Melatonin is effective for treating patients with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and ramelteon may have beneficial effects on sleep disturbances, especially on RBD in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

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.
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).
