Predicting Parkinson’s: Can Retinal Thickness Unlock Future Cognitive Decline?
A new study explores using retinal thickness to predict cognitive decline in Parkinson’s patients, finding that thinner retinal layers correlate with more severe disease progression. These insights are crucial for improving disease monitoring and treatment.A research collaboration between the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and Biobizkaia suggests employing a readily available, straightforward, and non-invasive
Skin Test Detects Parkinson’s and Other Synucleinopathies
Neurology > Parkinson's Disease — Cutaneous alpha-synuclein deposits may serve as a biomarker by Judy George , Deputy Managing Editor, MedPage Today March 21, 2024 Skin biopsies detected phosphorylated alpha-synuclein in a high proportion of people with Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies.Finding a reliable diagnostic biomarker for synucleinopathies is an urgent unmet need.Further research is
Exposure to TCE may raise your risk for Parkinson’s, study
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a liquid chemical that lingers in the air, water, and soil. Millions of people in the US and worldwide are exposed to TCE in air, food, and water. Occupational exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) was previously associated with a 6-fold increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in a small study
Advanced Parkinson’s Symptoms Improved With Focused Ultrasound
Neurology > Parkinson's Disease — Pivotal trial shows 3-month improvement, but longer study is needed by Judy George, Deputy Managing Editor, MedPage Today February 22, 2023 Unilateral focused ultrasound ablation targeted to the globus pallidus internus led to a higher percentage of Parkinson's disease patients with improved motor function or reduced dyskinesia compared with sham

Parkinson’s protein blueprint could help fast-track new treatments
Researchers have solved a decade-long mystery about a critical protein linked to Parkinson's disease that could help to fast-track treatments for the incurable disease. The research, published in Nature, has for the first time produced a 'live action' view of the protein, called PINK1, in exquisite molecular detail. The discovery explains how the protein is…
