- Taming Parkinson's disease with intelligent brain pacemakerson August 19, 2024 at 5:05 pm
Two new studies are pointing the way toward round-the-clock personalized care for people with Parkinson's disease through an implanted device that can treat movement problems during the day and insomnia at night.
- What the trained eye cannot see: Detecting movement defects in early stage Parkinson's diseaseon August 15, 2024 at 11:00 pm
Using machine learning to analyze video recordings of individuals performing simple movements, researchers developed a method to automaticaly quanitfy motor systems in early-stage Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.
- Preventing Parkinson's disease may lie in seaweed antioxidantson August 5, 2024 at 5:42 pm
A research team examined the effect of Ecklonia cava polyphenols on the prevention of Parkinson's disease. It was found that the oral intake of the seaweed antioxidants restores motor function and protects dopaminergic neurons in model mice, while cellular experiments revealed the biochemical interaction of their preventive effect.
- Blood proteins may help to track the pathological progression of Lewy's body diseaseon July 31, 2024 at 6:10 pm
New research suggests that two proteins, amyloid- and phosphorylated tau, the key proteins of Alzheimer's disease, are detected in blood once symptoms have started in Lewy's body diseases, such as Parkinson's. They also found that monitoring the neurofilament light chain protein can detect Lewy body diseases prior to symptom development. The findings suggest a means of identifying potential patients and a new target for intervention.
- New video test for Parkinson's uses AI to track how the disease is progressingon July 23, 2024 at 4:35 pm
An automated assessment technique that uses artificial intelligence could revolutionize the management of Parkinson's disease.
