P.066 Intrajejunal levodopa infusion (ILI) for Parkinson’s Disease (PD): a Canadian experience

Intrajejunal Infusion of Levodopa-Carbidopa Gel Can Continuously Reduce the Severity of Dropped Head in Parkinson’s Disease

Dropped head can occur in patients with Parkinson's disease and make their quality of life unpleasant because they cannot obtain a frontal view. The pathophysiologic involvement of dopamine agonist or central or peripheral mechanisms has been proposed. Levodopa therapy with the withdrawal of dopamine agonists was sometimes effective, but the effect in most patients did not persist for the entir...

Apomorphine and Levodopa Infusion Therapies for Advanced Parkinson’s Disease

Continuous infusion of levodopa or apomorphine provide constant dopaminergic stimulations are good alternatives to deep brain stimulation to control motor fluctuations in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Apomorphine provides motor benefit similar to dopamine, but its long-term use is limited by compliance, mostly injection site skin reactions. Administration of levodopa/carbidop...

Bayesian Networks Modeling for Brain Effective Connectivity in Parkinsons Disease ( PD )

Research derived from non-invasive brain imaging modalities has been used to explore the spatial and temporal organization of the neural systems supporting human behavior and causing brain disorders. Imaging modalities of interest include positron emission tomography, event-related potentials, electro-and magnetoencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this talk, we will presen...
