Temporal dissociation of the prehension pattern in Parkinson's disease.
This study assesses the reach to grasp movement of eight Parkinson and eight control subjects. The reach was of either 15, 27.5 or 40 cm. The grasp was either of a small (0.7 cm) or a large diameter (8 cm) dowel. When comparing Parkinson to control subjects, no differences were found in the regulation of movement parameters according to changes in object… (More)
Visual scanning training effect on reading-related tasks in acquired right brain damage.
This study presents a method for analyzing and remediating the visual perceptual deficits often found in persons with acquired right brain injury due to stroke. A total of 57 patients were randomly assigned to experimental (N=25) or control (N=32) groups. All patients were administered the same test battery prior to assignment. Experimentals received the… (More)
Perceptual remediation in patients with right brain damage: a comprehensive program.
This study provided a comprehensive program to treat visual perceptual disturbances associated with right brain damage (RBD). Three types of previously evaluated perceptual remediation were integrated into a sequentially administered remediation program: basic visual scanning, somatosensory awareness and size estimation training, and complex visual… (More)
Cocaine abusers have an overexpression of alpha-synuclein in dopamine neurons.
Alpha-synuclein is a presynaptic protein that has been implicated as a possible causative agent in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. The native protein is a major component of nigral Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease, and full-length alpha-synuclein accumulates in Lewy neurites. Here we present evidence that alpha-synuclein levels are elevated in… (More)
Safety of intrastriatal neurotransplantation for Huntington's disease patients.
Fetal neural transplantation has been shown to be a feasible, safe, and according to a number of recent reports, effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Fetal striatal transplantation may be as feasible, safe, and effective a treatment for Huntington's disease (HD), a disorder for which there is currently no effective treatment. This report… (More)
Prevalence of tremor and Parkinson's disease.
To determine the prevalence of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) in a retirement community, all residents of Carefree, Arizona, aged over 65 years were contacted. All participants completed validated questionnaires for PD and ET, and were examined using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. Of 356 individuals evaluated, 155 (43.5%)… (More)
A Mobile Cloud-Based Parkinson’s Disease Assessment System for Home-Based Monitoring
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most prevalent movement disorder of the central nervous system, and affects more than 6.3 million people in the world. The characteristic motor features include tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and impaired postural stability. Current therapy based on augmentation or replacement of dopamine is designed to improve… (More)
Relationship among CT scans, neurological exam, and neuropsychological test performance in right-brain-damaged stroke patients.
Right-hemisphere stroke rehabilitation inpatients were assessed by: (1) CT scans; (2) neurological exam; and (3) cognitive and affective psychometric measures. Damage to temporal, parietal, and occipital regions was associated with visual-spatial impairments. Surprisingly, parietal damage was no more related than temporal and occipital damage to severity of… (More)
Binding interactions of ergot alkaloids with monoaminergic receptors in the brain.
The interactions of ergot alkaloids and of other drugs with dopamine (DA) and alpha-adrenergic receptors were investigated. The tested ergot alkaloids inhibit synaptosomal tyrosine hydroxylase activity and reverse the apomorphine-elicited inhibition of synaptosomal tyrosine hydroxylase activity. Thus, ergot alkaloids interact as both agonists and… (More)
A multicenter trial of ropinirole as adjunct treatment for Parkinson's disease. Ropinirole Study Group.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the nonergot dopamine agonist ropinirole as an adjunct to L-dopa in a randomized, double-blind trial in PD patients with motor fluctuations. BACKGROUND L-dopa in the treatment of PD is associated with motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, and other adverse effects. The use of dopamine agonists in the treatment of PD delays recourse to… (More)
