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

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).

Effects of levodopa therapy on global left ventricular systolic function in patients with Parkinson disease

TL;DR: Levodopa therapy has no unfavorable effect on left ventricular systolic function in patients with PD, as evaluated via speckle tracking method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Voltage adjustment improves rigidity and tremor in Parkinson's disease patients receiving deep brain stimulation.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of patients with Parkinson's disease who underwent bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China, and who subsequently adjusted only the stimulation voltage confirms that rigidity, tremor and bradykinesia can be best alleviated by voltage adjustment.

Counteracting Postural Perturbations Through Body Weight Shift: A Pilot Study Using a Robotic Platform in Subjects With Parkinson’s Disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that the proposed approach is feasible and might be included in balance evaluation and training in PD and in keeping with the known hypo- and bradykinesia as well as the proprioceptive and kinesthetic impairments in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Parkinson’s disease in the performance of balance with different attentional demands

TL;DR: It is concluded that, when individuals with PD undergo cognitive challenges, they behave as if they were with eyes closed regarding balance changes, which reinforces the need to introduce, in the therapeutic plan of these individuals, activities that require the practice of these skills.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric responsiveness of disability and health-related quality of life to improvement versus decline in Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: Among decliners, measures of disability and quality of life were moderate to highly responsive to change in disease severity and among improvers, both disability andquality of life are poorly responsive despite UPDRS improvement of comparable magnitude.
