Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction and death of brain cells population. As the early manifestations of NDs are similar, their symptoms are difficult to distinguish, making the timely detection and d...
Conventional approaches to diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) and rating its severity level are based on medical specialists' clinical assessment of symptoms, which are subjective and can be inaccurate. These techniques are not very reliable, partic...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is heterogeneous in symptom presentation and progression. Increased understanding of both aspects can enable better patient management and improve clinical trial design. Previous approaches to modelling Parkinson's dis...

OBJECTIVE: Early postural instability (PI) is a red flag for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Several patients, however, fall within the first three years of disease, particularly when turning. We investigated whether PD patients, without c...

PURPOSE: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a proven therapy for Parkinson's Disease (PD), frequently resulting in an enhancement of motor function. Nonetheless, several undesirable side effects can occur after DBS, which can worsen the quality of life ...
Background Group comparison results associating cortical thinning and Parkinson disease (PD) dementia (PDD) are limited in their application to clinical settings. Purpose To investigate whether cortical thickness from MRI can help predict conversion ...
Commonly used for Parkinson's disease (PD), deep brain stimulation (DBS) produces marked clinical benefits when optimized. However, assessing the large number of possible stimulation settings (i.e., programming) requires numerous clinic visits. Here,...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disease that affects the motor system. The associated motor symptoms are muscle rigidity or stiffness, bradykinesia, tremors, and gait disturbances. The correct diagnosis, especially in the initi...
In this study, we aimed to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers Parkinson's disease (PD) by exploring microarray gene expression data of PD patients. Differentially expressed genes associated with PD were screened from the GSE99039 dataset usin...
Our objective is to derive a sequential decision-making rule on the combination of medications to minimize motor symptoms using reinforcement learning (RL). Using an observational longitudinal cohort of Parkinson's disease patients, the Parkinson's P...
