Tumor growth, progression, and therapy resistance are crucial factors in the prognosis of cancer. The properties of three-dimensional (3D) tumor-like organoids (tumoroids) more closely resemble in vivo tumors compared to two-dimensionally cultured cells and are therefore effectively used for assays
Despite major advances in cancer treatment, pancreatic cancer is still incurable and the treatment outcomes are limited. The aggressive and therapy-resistant nature of pancreatic cancer warrants the need for novel treatment options for pancreatic cancer management. Drug repurposing is emerging as an
Mitochondria are now recognized as potent integrators and co-ordinators of cell survival/death and apoptosis. Therefore, they are pharmacological targets for induction or correction of excessive cell death in human pathology, which includes cancer and the neurodegenerative disorders Parkinson's and
OBJECTIVE
Epidemiological studies have investigated the association between Parkinson disease (PD) occurrence and the risk of brain tumors, while the results remain controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the exact relationship between PD and brain tumors.
METHODS
A systematic
OBJECTIVE
A number of studies have been focused on the mortality of parkinsonian patients, as compared with the rest of the population. In these studies, a mortality greater than expected on the basis of mortality of the general population has been shown. Nevertheless, just a few of these studies
Prostate cancer growth and progression may be linked to neurogenesis and to medical anti- Parkinson treatment, but results are inconclusive. Therefore, we examined the association between Parkinson's disease and risk of prostate cancer in a population based case-control study.
We identified 45,429
The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 as a crucial contender in modifying neurodegenerative diseases in the preclinical studies has instigated interest in investigating the antiparkinsonian effect of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibition. Notably, saxagliptin (SAX), the DPP-4 inhibitor,
Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists are of great interest in the treatment for Parkinson's disease. In this study, we combined extensive pharmacophore modeling and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis to explore the structural requirements for potent Adenosine A2A antagonists.
Nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) orphan receptor has emerged as a promising contender in ameliorating Parkinson's disease; thus, finding a suitable activator of Nurr1 receptor is an attracting target for treating PD. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor, recently showed a favorable
BACKGROUND
L-dopa is an important antiparkinsonian drug. It is a precursor of dopamine and the other catecholamines. Potentially, administration of L-dopa could lead to increased urinary excretion of catecholamines and their metabolites to abnormal amounts. The current study aimed to determine these
BACKGROUND
Barium enema (BE) examinations for the investigation of suspected colonic disease are often unsuccessful in elderly patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success rate of BE in hospitalized frail elderly patients.
METHODS
Four hundred and seventy-two elderly
Both patients and caregivers but also treating physicians are concerned about complications along with surgical interventions. A major problem is abrupt cessation of anti-Parkinson medication, which leads to manifold disturbances, sometimes even to an akinetic crisis. There are several means to
Human B lymphocytes and derived lines from a spectrum of B cell malignancy were studied for expression of dopaminergic pathway components and for their cytostatic response to the catecholamine and related, potentially therapeutic compounds. Proliferating normal lymphocytes and dividing malignant
A 64-year-old female patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 was referred to our department for pancreatic cancer and anesthetized with volatile anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia for pancreaticoduodenectomy. No complications arose during surgery. On postoperative day 4, a head tremor
We report 2 cases of sphenoid ridge meningeomas with symptoms of a parkinsonian sydrome, one of them contralaterally, the second bilaterally. Both did not respond to specific antiparkinson treatment. The extrapyramidal symptoms disappeared in both cases promptly after removal of the tumor. In the
