Responses to the question “To what extent do any of the following keep you from ordering genetic tests for patients with Parkinson disease (PD) in your clinic?”Participants graded each option on a scale from 0 to 100. Orange bars represent the mean grade for each response, and horizontal ...
Genetic testing for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is infrequently performed due to perceptions of low utility. We investigated the personal utility in PD GENEration and how results lead to enrollment in additional research studies. Participants (n = 97
Genetic testing for Parkinson's disease (PD) is infrequently performed due to perceptions of low utility. We investigated the personal utility in PD GENEration and how results lead to enrollment in additional research studies. Participants (=972) underwent genetic testing, results disclosure, genetic ...
specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scale intended for use in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Results from an initial qualitative study provided content for item development and scale construction of the Parkinson's disease quality of life scale (PDQUALIF)...
a genetic counselor can explain if someone has a genetic mutation that is linked to Parkinson’s disease, provide some history on the mutation, and what it means for them and their children. There is also a worksheet we provide to participants that includes suggestions for how to talk about ...
EJ Sitek,J S?Awek,JJ Evans 摘要: Cognitive deficits are one of the most common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects about 27% of non-demented PD patients. The high prevalence of PD-MCI and PD with dementia (PD-D) as well as ...
Since olfactory dysfunction is among the first signs of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), olfactory testing may aid in the early of 'preclinical' diagnosis of this disorder. Indeed, the proportion of early-stage PD patients with olfactory dysfunction appears to be greater than the proportion of...

This research demonstrates that applying a CMOS image sensor in designing a non-contact, portable, easy-to-use, low cost Parkinson's disease measurement system is feasible. Also, the designed Parkinson's disease measurement system is well suited for evaluating and pre-diagnosing the health of a ...
