Comparing Verb and Object Naming Between Patients With Parkinson Disease and Patients With Cortical Stroke
Objectives: Based on recent studies, verb naming is more impaired than noun naming in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Noun and verb retrieval problems has been well documented in patients with cortical damage. To explore the possible contribution of cortex and subcortex areas in word finding test performance, we studied verb and object naming in patients with cortical and subcortical lesi...
متن کاملImpaired efficacy of cough in patients with Parkinson disease.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Aspiration pneumonia, a leading cause of death in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), usually occurs at the advanced stages of the disease. We investigated both motor and sensory components of cough and induced-sputum substance P (SP) concentrations in patients with early and advanced stages of PD to assess whether cough efficacy is impaired in PD. SUBJECTS Fifteen female p...
متن کاملImpaired cognitive performance and hippocampal atrophy in Parkinson disease.
BACKGROUND/AIM Dementia is common in Parkinson disease (PD). Since magnetic resonance imaging has been used, hippocampal atrophy has been shown in PD patients with or without dementia. In this study we sought the correlation of cognitive decline with bilateral hippocampal volume in PD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with diagnosis of idiopathic PD and 16 healthy subjects...
متن کاملImpaired complex-I mitochondrial biogenesis in Parkinson disease frontal cortex.
Parkinson's disease (PD) can include a progressive frontal lobe α-synucleinopathy with disability from cognitive decline and cortico-limbic dysregulation that may arise from bioenergetic impairments. We examined in PD frontal cortex regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis (mitobiogenesis) and its effects on Complex-I. We quantified expression of 33 nuclear genome (nDNA)-encoded and 7 mitochondri...
متن کاملFreezing of gait in Parkinson disease is associated with impaired conflict resolution.
BACKGROUND Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson disease (PD) may involve executive dysfunction. This study examined whether executive functioning and attention are more affected in patients with FOG compared with those without and determined whether these processes are influenced by anti-Parkinson medication. METHODS A total of 11 PD patients with FOG, 11 without FOG, and 10 healthy control su...
