Background Conventional "top-down" classification approaches depend on a-priori assumptions about disease phenotype. "Bottom-up" data-driven statistical approaches in well-characterised, incident cohorts are relatively novel and may have specific advantages for disease stratification. The Discovery cohort ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder that affects the central nervous system, and with it, all parts of the body that are controlled by nerves. Like many neurological diseases, symptoms may look slightly different for each patient, but there are a number of symptoms that remain...
What is Parkinson's disease? Explain what is the sign and symptoms of Parkinson's disease? Explain why people have a shaken hand due to Parkinson's disease? Is Parkinson's a degenerative disease? Is Parkinson's disease a neurodegenerative disease?
Alterations in mitochondrial homeostasis have been implicated in the etiology of Parkinson disease (PD) as demonstrated by human tissue studies, cell culture and in vivo genetic and toxin models. Mutations in the genes encoding PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), Omi/HtrA2 and parkin contribute to rar...

Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and presents a particular anaesthetic challenge. The clinical features are described in detail, and recent advances in medical management and neurosurgical treatment options are highlighted.Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has experienced...
resulting in many different symptoms including dementia, in late stages. Approximately 1 million people in the United States have Parkinson's.

Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
Injection of a small amount of clumped protein triggers a cascade of events leading to a Parkinson's-like disease in mice, according to an article published online this week in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
