Objective(s): 99mTc-TRODAT-1, which binds to the dopamine transporter, could be used to image the dopaminergic system in diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD can be classified into two groups: late onset Parkinson’s disease (LOPD) and early onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD). In this study we tried to determine the TRODAT SPECT findings in EOPD as compared to LOPD.Methods: Fifteen patients w...

Quantitative and model-based prediction of security in the architecture design stage facilitates early detection of design faults hence reducing modification costs in subsequent stages of software life cycle. However, an important question arises with respect to the accuracy of input parameters. In practice, security parameters can rarely be estimated accurately due to the lack of sufficient kn...
متن کاملLinkage of Parkinson’s disease in two very early onset siblings to a locus on chromosome 1
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease that usually affects individuals over 50 years of age. Age at onset in a small subset of PD cases is considerably lower, and these are considered early-onset PD (EOPD) patients. Most PD cases appear sporadic, but approximately 15% are familial, and some of the familial cases exhibit Mendelian inheritance. Genetic analysis of fami...
