Association of LRRK2 exonic variants with susceptibility to Parkinson's disease: a case-control study
(2011)Background The leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene (LRRK2) harbours highly penetrant mutations that are linked to familial parkinsonism. However, the extent of its polymorphic variability in relation to risk of Parkinson's ... -
Association of tau haplotype-tagging polymorphisms with Parkinson's disease in diverse ethnic Parkinson's disease cohorts
(2006)Background: The overlap in the clinical and pathological features of tauopathies and synucleinopathies raises the possibility that the tau protein may be important in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Several MAPT ... -
ASTRAL Score Predicts 5-Year Dependence and Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke
(2013)Background and Purpose-The ASTRAL score was externally validated showing remarkable consistency on 3-month outcome prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to evaluate ASTRAL score's ... -
Blink reflex in primary lateral sclerosis
(2004)Objective: To investigate the underlying pathophysiology of primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) regarding possible changes in blink reflex (BR) circuit. Methods: BR was studied in 10 patients in whom diagnosis of PLS was ... -
Blood pressure changes in acute ischemic stroke and outcome with respect to stroke etiology
(2012)Objective: Previous research suggested that proper blood pressure (BP) management in acute stroke may need to take into account the underlying etiology. Methods: All patients with acute ischemic stroke registered in the ... -
Brain Perfusion SPECT with Brodmann Areas Analysis in Differentiating Frontotemporal Dementia Subtypes
(2014)Despite the known validity of clinical diagnostic criteria, significant overlap of clinical symptoms between Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) subtypes exists in several cases, resulting in great uncertainty of the diagnostic ... -
Cardiac systolic function in Greek children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2010)Background: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SOB) in children has been associated with increased ventricular strain and decreased left ventricle (LV) diastolic function. The aim of this study was to assess systolic ... -
Cerebellar function, dyslexia and articulation speed
(2008)The main aims of this study were a) to assess the cerebellar deficit hypothesis examining children's performance in cerebellar and cognitive tasks associated with the dyslexic syndrome and b) to investigate if there is a ... -
Cerebellar stimulation in the management of medically intractable epilepsy: a systematic and critical review
(2010)Object. The wide application of deep brain stimulation in the management of movement as well as other degenerative neurological and psychiatric disorders has renewed the interest in using deep brain stimulation in the ... -
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: review of the demographics, pathophysiology, current diagnosis, and treatment
(2009)Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare clinicopathological entity. The incidence of CVST in children and neonates has been reported to be as high as 7 cases per million people, whereas in adults the incidence ... -
CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc, and long-term stroke outcome in patients without atrial fibrillation
(2013)Objective: CHADS(2) and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores are used to assess stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated whether these scores are associated with stroke outcome in non-AF stroke patients. ...
