Early signs of PD can appear in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and in the olfactory system, preceding the onset of motor impairments by many years. The present study assessed the effects of oral rotenone administration (30mg/...
Signs of PD start slow but become more frequent and intense as the disease progresses. It's important for both patient and caregiver to know the stages of PD and how it progresses in order to know what to expect and how to plan for any necessary lifestyle changes before symptoms worsen. ...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and characterized by motor signs including bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, and reduced postural reflex. More than 50% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra are lost at the onset of ...
the most comprehensive technology platforms and our unique plasma proteomics expertise,” said Dr Jörg Schüttrumpf, Grifols’ Chief Scientific Innovation Officer. “Going back in time to search for the earliest signs of PD, even before symptoms appear, has [the] potential ...
Neuroinflammation in the brain contributes to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the potential dysregulation of peripheral immunity has not been systematically investigated for idiopathic PD (iPD). Here we showed an elevated peripheral cy

Early gait impairment and falls resulting in the need of assisting devices or wheelchair within 5 years of disease onset are common. Whereas a therapeutic response to dopa- minergic therapy is typical in PD, in atypical parkinsonian syndromes the response may be poor or absent, and adverse ...

Advanced age is the primary risk factor for the development of Parkinson’s Disease (PD)1. As a consequence, ageing represents a crucial variable to understand PD pathogenesis, to identify early biomarkers of the disease and to promote innovative therapies2. This is the perspective and the centra...
Minor hallucinations (MH) appear early in the disease course and have been suggested to predict cognitive impairment and decline in PD, however, this has not been well-established by clinical research. Here, we investigated whether, in the absence of dementia, patients with PD and MH (without ...
