Gray matter atrophy in parkinsons disease and the parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy: a combined roi- and voxel-based morphometric study

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: Parkinson's disease (PD) and the parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P) are distinct neurodegenerative disorders that share similar clinical features of parkinsonism. The morphological alterations of these diseases have yet to be understood. The purpose of this study was to e...

Tai Chi versus routine exercise in patients with early- or mild-stage Parkinson's disease: a retrospective cohort analysis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (2), 2020
Parkinson's disease cannot be cured but symptoms can be improved by making use of physical therapy. The objective of the study was to compare the effect of routine exercises and Tai Chi on physical and clinical performance in elderly people suffering from Parkinson's disease. Data from interviews, physic...

Indicación de estimulación cerebral profunda en casos complejos de enfermedad de Parkinson. Experiencia en el Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile
Indication of deep brain stimulation in complex cases of Parkinson's disease. Experience at the Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile

Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a standard surgical procedure for the treatment of advanced Parkinson Disease (PD) with motor complications that cannot be adequately managed by medical treatment. Currently available literature can guide physicians on basic aspects of...

Brazilian version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory for Parkinsons disease

Abstract Introduction: The multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI) has not been applied in Brazilian Parkinson`s disease (PD) population due to the lack of validation. Objective: The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt, to validate, and investigate the psychometric properties of Brazilian...

Neuroprotective natural products: promising candidates against neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegeneration is a progressive loss of neurons both structurally and functionally causing neuronal cell death ultimately leading to development of various neurodegenerative diseases. Due to poor pharmacokinetic profile of neurotrophins, there still remains a challenge in their...

SNHG1 promotes MPP+-induced cytotoxicity by regulating PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cells via sponging miR-153-3p

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNA small molecule RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) was previously identified to be relevant with Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. This work aims to further elucidate the regulatory networks of SNHG1 involved in PD. Methods: 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-hydrochlo...

Voxel-wise meta-analysis of structural changes in gray matter of Parkinsons disease patients with mild cognitive impairment

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (6), 2020
Evidence from previous voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies indicates that widespread brain regions are involved in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). However, the spatial localization reported for gray matter (GM) abnormalities is heterogeneous. The aim of the present study wa...
