Modeling progression of Parkinson's disease
Chronic diseases progress slowly over years and impose a significant burden on patients. To help alleviate this burden, we propose tackling three clinical questions: predicting progression events, summarizing patient state, and identifying prognosis-driven subtypes. These questions are challenging …

A Qualitative Study on Long-Term Adherence to Home Exercise Programs in People with Parkinson’s Disease
<p>Exercise has been found to slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms which can increase independence for daily activities and overall quality of life. In order for the benefits of exercise to continue after a program is completed, integration of the exercises into everyday life …

Effects of MPTP, MPP(+) and Adreno-Medullin on Dopamine Metabolism in the Rat Corpus Striatum
Self-administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), a contaminant on illicit narcotic drugs, causes parkinsonism symptoms in drug addicts. Also, systemic injections of very low doses of MPTP in non-human primates produces selective destruction of the nigrostriatal dopamine …

Modeling disease-related proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae : insights into alpha-synuclein and TorsinA biology
… complex cellular processes. As a eukaryote, much of its fundamental biology is conserved with higher organisms. As a single-celled, genetically tractable organism, it can easily be utilized for both high-throughput screening and hypothesis-driven analysis. Therefore, many groups use yeast to model …

Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Disease Progression in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Patients
… have a protective role against the development of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD). Despite this, there have been few studies focusing on whether cigarette smoking is able to slow IPD disease progression. The few that have examined this issue must be regarded with care due to their intrinsic …
