OBJECTIVE
Pilot trials have suggested that pharmacotherapy may aid stroke recovery. The aim of this study was to systematically review the effects of antidepressants, anti-Alzheimer drugs, anti-Parkinson drugs, central nervous system (CNS) stimulants and piracetam on gross motor function, cognition,
A remarkable convergence of epidemiologic and laboratory data has raised the possibility that caffeine reduces the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) by preventing the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The authors review the evidence that caffeine and more specific
Changes in cardiovascular physiology in Parkinson's disease (PD) are common and may occur prior to diagnostic parkinsonian motor signs. We investigated associations of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, orthostasis, heart rate variability, and carotid stenosis with the risk of PD diagnosis in
New halogen atom substituted 2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives condensed with an azole ring on the seven membered part of the ring system of type 3 and 4 as well as 5 and 6 were synthesized. It was found that chloro-, dichloro- and bromo-substitutions in the benzene ring and additionally imidazole ring
Clinical manifestations accompanying neurological diseases are diverse and affect multiple organs. Nutritional status of patients with certain neurological diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Epilepsy and Multiple Sclerosis can be altered because of symptoms associated
Parkinson's disease and cardiovascular disease are highly prevalent conditions in the elderly. Evidence shows inconsistent findings regarding the association between Parkinson's disease and cardiovascular events.We sought to evaluate the proportion of BACKGROUND
Underreporting of adverse drug reactions is common but has been rarely studied in Parkinson's disease (PD).
OBJECTIVE
To compare the prevalence of adverse events (AEs) in relation to antiparkinsonian drugs in PD patients using two different data collection methods: patient's spontaneous
This study sought an operational definition of parkinsonism in elderly people (n = 2,914) who underwent a clinical examination in the Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA). Parkinsonism was defined as having two of the following features: (1) bradykinesia of face or limbs, (2) resting tremor,
We report a female patient in whom so-called apraxia of eyelid opening (AEO) developed after the onset of possible progressive supranuclear palsy (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke criteria) and the introduction of antiparkinsonian medications including levodopa. Although
BACKGROUND
To our knowledge, previous reports on drug treatment in progressive supranuclear palsy have not evaluated autopsy-confirmed cases.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate pharmacological treatment responses from detailed clinical records in patients with autopsy-confirmed progressive supranuclear
Hyperthermia, with no signs of any underlying infection, may occur in the course of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, fatal catatonia, heat stroke, or malignant hyperthermia. We describe hyperthermia as a complication after discontinuance of antiparkinsonian treatment with levodopa/carbidopa and
BACKGROUND
Brazil has gone through fast demographic, epidemiologic and nutritional transitions and, despite recent improvements in wealth distribution, continues to present a high level of social and economic inequality. The ELSA-Brasil, a cohort study, aimed at investigating cardiovascular diseases
Studies suggest that dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers may be associated with reduced risk for Parkinson disease (PD).To assess the effect of isradipine, a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker, on the rate of clinical progression of BACKGROUND
Higher levels of serum cholesterol are well-established risk factors for coronary artery disease and stroke. The role of serum cholesterol in neurodegeneration is not clear.
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the association between serum cholesterol levels over time and the risk of Parkinson's
