Genetic association study of synphilin-1 in idiopathic parkinson's disease
Background: Post-mortem Lewy body and Lewy neuritic inclusions are a defining feature of Parkinsons disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). With the discovery of missense and multiplication mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) in familial parkinsonism, Lewy inclusions were found to stain intensely with antibodies raised against the...

Trichloroethylene is a risk factor for parkinsonism
Parkinsons disease, the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder caused by aging, can also be caused by pesticides and other neurotoxins. A new study found good evidence that trichloroethylene (TCE) is a risk factor for parkinsonism, a group of nervous disorders with symptoms similar to Parkinsons disease. TCE is a chemical...

Meta-analysis of the literature on diagnostic accuracy of spect in parkinsonian syndromes
Background: Parkinsons disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. One of the most available techniques to diagnose PD is a Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT) scan to visualise the integrity of the dopaminergic pathways in the brain. Despite this there remains some discussion on the value of...

What is the evidence for statins causing parkinsons disease?
We found a number of articles that discuss statins and Parkinson's Disease (PD).   It appears a complex area with no apparent consensus, as new evidence is published the situation will, presumably, become clearer. (Source: NLH Question Answering Service)

Urocortin, a crf-like peptide, restores key indicators of damage in the substantia nigra in a neuroinflammatory model of parkinson's disease
We have recently observed that the corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRF) related peptide urocortin (UCN) reverses key features of nigrostriatal damage in the hemiparkinsonian 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rat. Here we have studied whether similar effects are also evident in the lipopolysaccaride (LPS) neuroinflammatory paradigm of Parkinsons disease (PD). To do this we...

Meta-analysis is used to synthesize information and can even deliver evidence for findings missed by original studies. If researchers are not contributing their data, extracting valid information from publications...
