Layla is a 6.7-year-old girl diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-predominantly hyperactive/impulsive type-delayed adaptive skills, enuresis, unspecified malnutrition, and feeding difficulties. She presented to developmental-behavioral pediatrics (DBP) in January 2022 due to caregiver concerns for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Layla lives in a polyamorous family with her biological mother and father, mother's partner whom Layla refers to as her uncle, and her 2 half-siblings. There is a maternal history of special education services, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, multiple sclerosis, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and ADHD...

INTRODUCTION: Precise electrocardiographic localization of accessory pathways (AP) can be challenging. Seminal AP localization studies were limited by complexity of algorithms and sample size. We aimed to create a nonalgorithmic method for AP localization based on color-coded maps of AP distribution generated by a web-based application. METHODS: APs were categorized into 19 regions/types based on invasive electrophysiologic mapping. Preexcited QRS complexes were categorized into 6 types based on polarity and notch/slur...

PURPOSE: Complex visual hallucinations are rarely seen in neurooncology. They are commonly observed alongside psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia or dementia, in Parkinson's or Lewy-body disease, after opioid medications or anesthesia, and, in particular, they appear with visual impairments. METHODS: Here we report two normal-sighted and mentally healthy patients with unusual visual hallucinations after the resection and irradiation of brain metastases, the main features of which were persistent colorful and meaningful images with hallucinatory perseveration...

BACKGROUND: Visual biomarkers of Parkinson's disease (PD) are attractive as the retina is an outpouching of the brain. Although inner retinal neurodegeneration in PD is well-established this has overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases and thus outer retinal (photoreceptor) measures warrant further investigation. OBJECTIVE: To examine in a cross-sectional study whether clinically implementable measures targeting outer retinal function and structure can differentiate PD from healthy ageing and whether these are sensitive to intraday levodopa (L-DOPA) dosing...

Dual-labeled single fluorescent probes are powerful tools for studying autophagy on the molecular scale, yet their development has been hampered by design complexity and a lack of valid strategies. Herein, for the first time, we introduce a combinatorial regulation strategy to fabricate dual-labeled probes for studying autophagy by integrating the specific organelle-targeting group and the functional fluorescence switch into a pentacyclic pyrylium scaffold (latent dual-target scaffold). For proof of concept, we prepared a range of dual-labeled probes ( TMOs ) that display different emission colors in duple organelles...

Visual hallucinations are prevalent, potentially disabling symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. Multiple impairments in bottom-up sensory processing and top-down perceptual modulation are implicated in the pathophysiology of these phenomena. In healthy individuals, visual illusions are elicited by illusory figures through parametric manipulations of geometrical configurations, contrast, color, or spatial relationships between stimuli. These illusory percepts provide insight on the physiologic processes subserving conscious and unconscious perception...

Visuoperceptual dysfunction is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is also reported in its prodromal phase, isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). We aimed to investigate color discrimination ability and complex visual illusions known as pareidolias in patients with iRBD and PD compared to healthy controls, and their associating clinical factors. 46 iRBD, 43 PD, and 64 healthy controls performed the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test and noise pareidolia tests. Any relationship between those two visual functions and associations with prodromal motor and non-motor manifestations were evaluated, including MDS-UPDRS part I to III, Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test, sleep questionnaires, and comprehensive neuropsychological assessment...

Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) are common, difficult to treat, and significantly impair quality of life. One prevalent non-motor symptom is constipation, which can precede the diagnosis of PD by years or even decades. Constipation has been underexplored in animal models of PD and lacks specific therapies. This assay utilizes a Drosophila model of PD in which human alpha-synuclein is expressed under a pan-neuronal driver. Flies expressing alpha-synuclein develop the hallmark features of PD: the loss of dopaminergic neurons, motor impairment, and alpha-synuclein inclusions...

Among the catecholamines, dopamine (DA) is essential in regulating multiple aspects of the central nervous system. The level of dopamine in the brain correlates with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). However, dopamine is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, levodopa (LD) is used to restore normal dopamine levels in the brain by crossing the BBB. Thus, the control of LD and DA levels is critical for PD diagnosis. For this purpose, LiSr0.0985 VO4 :0.015Eu3+ (LSV:0.015Eu3+ ) nanoplates were synthesized by the microwave-assisted co-precipitation method, and have been employed as an optical sensor for the sensitive and selective detection of catecholamines...

Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) include ocular, visuoperceptive, and visuospatial impairments, which can occur as a result of the underlying neurodegenerative process. Ocular impairments can affect various aspects of vision and eye movement. Thus, patients can show dry eyes, blepharospasm, reduced blink rate, saccadic eye movement abnormalities, smooth pursuit deficits, and impaired voluntary and reflexive eye movements. Furthermore, visuoperceptive impairments affect the ability to perceive and recognize visual stimuli accurately, including impaired contrast sensitivity and reduced visual acuity, color discrimination, and object recognition...

Copper is one of the most important transition metals in our body for various physiological functions. An imbalance in the homeostasis of copper in our body can lead to various neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, and Menkes disease. As a result, there is a need for the detection of excess copper present in the environment and the human system. In this work, we have designed a quinoline-based fluorescent/colorimetric probe (QHS) for rapid and selective detection of copper ions via quenching of fluorescence/color change from yellow to peach which is visible to the naked eye...

INTRODUCTION: The mechanism of Pisa syndrome in Parkinson's disease (PD) is unclear. We aimed to analyze the spatial perception of patients with PD with Pisa syndrome using virtual reality. METHODS: In total, 16 patients with Pisa syndrome, 16 age-matched patients without Pisa syndrome, and 16 age-matched controls were included. They viewed the virtual room gradually tilting to different 8 directions randomized across trials. The 75% discrimination threshold angle and the mean tilting discrimination angle for each direction were evaluated...

This study aimed to clarify associations between neuropsychological scales and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) of on ‍123 I-IMP-SPECT in patients with Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). Forty-two participants (mean age, 65.5 ± 8.9 years; mean disease duration, 11.1 ±5.7 years) were evaluated using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, third edition (WAIS-III), Wechsler Memory Scale, revised (WMS-R), Stroop test, Category word fluency, Auditory verbal learning test, Raven colored progressive matrices, Trail Making Test-B, and Clock drawing test...

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a particularly debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) and is often refractory to treatment. A striking feature of FOG is that external sensory cues can be used to overcome freezing and improve gait. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus (GP) show that beta-band power modulates with gait phase. In the STN, beta-band oscillations are modulated by external cues, but it is unknown if this relationship holds in the globus pallidus (GP)...

Software such as EEGLab has enabled the treatment and visualization of the tracing and cortical topography of the electroencephalography (EEG) signals. In particular, the topography of the cortical electrical activity is represented by colors, which make it possible to identify functional differences between cortical areas and to associate them with various diseases. The use of cortical topography with EEG origin in the investigation of diseases is often not used due to the representation of colors making it difficult to classify the disease...

BACKGROUND: Visual impairment is frequent and highly disabling in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, few studies have comprehensively evaluated its impact on vision-related quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between visual function tests and the visual impairment perceived by PD patients in daily living activities. METHODS: We cross-sectionally evaluated 62 PD patients and 33 healthy controls (HC). Visual disability was measured with a comprehensive battery of primary visual function and visual cognition tests (visual outcomes), and vision-related quality of life was evaluated with the National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25)...

(1) Background: The purpose of this paper is to report the data of the first study in a Clinical Research Hospital, in the Transylvania region, focusing on the Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) measurements in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD), and to compare the results with age-matched healthy controls. (2) Methods: This study assessed the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) SD-OCT measurements (Heidelberg Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) of two study groups: patients suffering from PD (Hoehn-Yahr stages 1-3) and healthy controls...

BACKGROUND Non-visual effects of the retina have been increasingly confirmed in developing Parkinson disease (PD). Light therapy (LT) has been proven to be an effective non-pharmacotherapy for improving the prognosis of PD, but the pathway of action is unclear, and there is a lack of a unified and standardized LT regimen. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various LT measures in improving motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with idiopathic PD via a meta-analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS CENTRAL, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro, and PubMed were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of LT for PD...

Cognitive impairment and dementia are common non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). To elucidate the potentially typical progression of cognitive decline in PD and its variation, we retrospectively surveyed neuropsychological data obtained at the Parkinson-Klinik Ortenau, Germany in the years 1996-2015. Many of the patients in the surveyed period were repeatedly admitted to our clinic and we were thus able to compile neuropsychological re-test data for 252 patients obtained at varying time intervals...
