Genetic basis of Parkinson disease
(2010)
Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms of Parkinson disease (PD). Mutations in certain genes are found to cause monogenic forms of the disorder, with autosomal ...
Randomized Trials of Dopamine Agonists in Restless Legs Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Quality Assessment, and Meta-Analysis
(2010)
Background: The use of dopamine agonists (DAs) for the treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been assessed in numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the reporting ...
Gain-of-function variant in GLUD2 glutamate dehydrogenase modifies Parkinson's disease onset
(2010)
Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and their terminations in the basal ganglia, is thought to be related to genetic and environmental ...
Genetic association studies in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2010)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide, especially among young individuals. It is estimated that despite all the recent advances in the management of TBI, approximately ...
Absence of aprataxin gene mutations in a Greek cohort with sporadic early onset ataxia and normal GAA triplets in frataxin gene
(2010)
Phenotype of patients with the aprataxin gene mutation varies and according to previous studies, screening of aprataxin gene could be useful, once frataxin gene mutation is excluded in patients with normal GAA expansion ...
Neovascular glaucoma as a first clinical manifestation of multiple sclerosis
(2010)
Purpose: To report a case with neovascular glaucoma caused by severe occlusive retinal vasculitis, as a first clinical manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Examination on an otherwise healthy 45-year-old man ...
Non-replication of association for six polymorphisms from meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of Parkinson's disease: Large-scale collaborative study
(2010)
Early genome-wide association (GWA) studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been able to yield conclusive, replicable signals of association, perhaps due to limited sample size. We aimed to investigate whether association ...
Non-Pharmacological Management of Periodic Limb Movements During Hemodialysis Session in Patients With Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome
(2010)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is very common in hemodialysis patients. RLS induces motor excitability and discomfort during rest periods, and those symptoms have also been observed during hemodialysis sessions. The aim of ...
