Bromocriptine (CB-154) is a direct-acting dopamine agonist of proven clinical efficacy in parkinsonism. The capacity of bromocriptine to induce receptor site hypersensitivity was investigated utilizing a behavioral model in guinea pigs. Following 4 weeks of bromocriptine treatment, animals
N-(Adamant-2-yl) hexamethyleneimine hydrochloride (A-7, himantane), a new potential antiparkinsonian drug belonging to the class of aminoadamantyl derivatives, exhibits pronounced immunomodulant activity in a therapeutic dose of 10 mg/kg. A single intraperitoneal injection of himantane stimulated a
Some patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from pain before motor symptoms. To model this, we proposed to assess the mechanical hypersensitivity in an animal model of PD with a bilateral lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway. PD model was validated by a decrease of locomotor activity and a 76%
The objective was to analyze functional effects of the combination of GDNF and TGF-β1 in the retrograde model of Parkinsonism in rats, based on the intrastriatal infusion of 6-hydroxydopamine, which leads to protracted and progressive cell death in the substantia nigra. Hemiparkinsonian rats were
Intrinsic tooth discoloration may occur as an adverse effect of fluoride and tetracyclines. Extrinsic tooth discoloration may occur as superficial staining or as discoloration of the superficial pellicle and/or biofilm due to chlorhexidine, liquid iron salts, essential oils, some antibiotics and
We examined psychiatric symptoms in eight cases with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), which included visual hallucination of persons or small animals, visual illusion, metamorphosia, leibhaftige Bewusstheit, personal or topographical misidentification, Capgras' syndrome and reduplicative paramnesia
From a review of the clinical literature, the authors determined that the medical symptoms of neuroleptic withdrawal occurred more frequently with neuroleptics having potent anticholinergic effects than with those having weak anticholinergic actions. When antiparkinsonian agents were not
In 1923, Friedrich H. Lewy described dementia with Lewy bodies in a large proportion of his patients with paralysis agitans which had co-incident plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The potential contribution of Lewy bodies to a dementia syndrome with fluctuating course, visual hallucinations,
An antiparkinson drug (APK) withdrawal study was carried out in 34 schizophrenic outpatients on maintenance neuroleptics. Sixty-five percent of patients were without major complaints after 2 weeks of APK discontinuation, while 35% reported adverse effects including extrapyramidal, autonomic, and
Certain dopaminergic anti-Parkinson drugs (ergolines) have repeatedly been identified as a cause of pleuropulmonary disease with a focus on serosal cell damage. Recently, a pathogenetic link between ergolines and prior asbestos exposure was suggested, as regards the development of pleural pathology.
Exogenous psychotic symptoms of a wide variety have been reported to appear more and more frequently since the introduction of levodopa in the therapy of Parkinson's disease. They were considered to be caused by treatment related imbalance of cerebral neurotransmitters and hypersensitivity of the
OBJECTIVE
We examined whether amantadine can prevent the development of dyskinesia.
METHODS
Patients with drug-naïve Parkinson's disease (PD), younger than 70 years of age and in the early stage of PD (Hoehn and Yahr scale < 3), were recruited from April 2011 to December 2014. The exclusion criteria
