INTRODUCTION Neuroimaging studies of elderly individuals reveal alterations in the white matter that are incompatible with the patients parkinsonism, mistakenly classified as vascular parkinsonism (VP). METHOD This study was conducted on a population composed of 20 patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) whose neuroimaging exams revealed vascular alterations in the white matter and seven patien...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common form of Parkinsonism, a group neurological disorders, and second neurodegenerative disorder. More than six million people worldwide are affected by PD. Over past two decades, Virtual Reality (VR) technology commercial gaming devices used as intervention tools for rehabilitation. The aim this systematic review to study efficacy rehabilitation in VR env...

assembly in particular is associated with a wide range of functions including cell division, cell motility and diseases such as Alzheimers' and Parkinsons'. The forces generated during the growth of native self-assemblies such as actin and microtubules is vital for cellular function. The generation of forces is achieved by a reversible polymerization of the constituent monomers (tubulin and act...

Abstract Introduction Sleep disturbance in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is highly prevalent. PD the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease, affecting about 1% of people over 60 years. Little it's said sleep disorders this which are very frequent and frequently underdiagnosed. In Mexico, there not a lot studies on their population. University Hospital Dr. José E. Gonz...

Recently a novel method for the preparation of (18)F-labeled arenes via oxidative [(18)F]fluorination of easily accessible and sufficiently stable nickel complexes with [(18)F]fluoride under exceptionally mild reaction conditions was published. The suitability of this procedure for the routine preparation of clinically relevant positron emission tomography (PET) tracers, 6-[(18)F]fluorodopamine...

Mesencephalic-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons control motor, sensorimotor and motivated behaviour and their degeneration or abnormal functioning is associated with important pathologies, such as Parkinsons disease and psychiatric disorders. Despite great efforts, the molecular basis and the genetic factors differentially controlling identity, survival and vulnerability to neurodegenera...
