Is brain lactate increased in Huntington's disease?W R Wayne Martin
Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
J Neurol Sci 263:70-4. 2007..Regardless, this supports the possibility of impaired mitochondrial function resulting in abnormal brain energy metabolism in HD...
Quantitative estimation of regional brain iron with magnetic resonance imagingW R Wayne Martin
Movement Disorders Program, Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Parkinsonism Relat Disord 15:S215-8. 2009..We suggest that this may ultimately provide an imaging marker for disease progression in PD, although longitudinal studies are required...
Temporal lobe changes in early, untreated Parkinson's diseaseW R Wayne Martin
Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Voxel-based morphometry reveals extra-nigral atrophy patterns associated with dopamine refractory cognitive and motor impairment in parkinsonismRichard Camicioli
Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Parkinsonism Relat Disord 15:187-95. 2009..To determine overall patterns of brain atrophy associated with memory, executive function (EF) and dopamine non-responsive motor measures in older parkinsonian patients...
Ventricular dilatation and brain atrophy in patients with Parkinson's disease with incipient dementiaRichard Camicioli
Department of Medicine Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Mov Disord 26:1443-50. 2011..Ventricular dilatation occurs early in the course of significant cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's disease, possibly reflecting both cortical gray and white matter loss...
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic evidence for presupplementary motor area neuronal dysfunction in Parkinson's diseaseRichard M Camicioli
Department of Medicine Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Mov Disord 22:382-6. 2007..AC and PC NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr in any region did not differ (P > 0.05). In conclusion, pre-SMA NAA/Cr was selectively decreased in PD, consistent with neuronal dysfunction. This should be further examined as a biomarker of disease in PD...
Age and dementia-associated atrophy predominates in the hippocampal head and amygdala in Parkinson's diseaseThomas P Bouchard
Department of Medicine Neurology, University of Alberta, 10230, 111th Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Neurobiol Aging 29:1027-39. 2008..35, p=0.02); AG volumes correlated with CVLT-II recall (r=0.35, p=0.02). No correlations were found in non-PD (p>0.4). In conclusion, functionally meaningful age-associated hippocampal and amygdala atrophy occurs in PD...
Early, untreated Parkinson's disease patients show reaction time variabilityRichard M Camicioli
Department of Medicine Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Neurosci Lett 441:77-80. 2008..In the PD group neither the motor nor the executive measures correlated significantly with any of the reaction time measures. We conclude that CRT intraindividual variability and latencies are increased in untreated PD...
Reduction in metabolite transverse relaxation times in amyotrophic lateral sclerosisChristopher C Hanstock
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
J Neurol Sci 198:37-41. 2002..The objective of the present study was to determine if any T(2) changes might affect the apparent metabolite ratio measures, which we have previously reported as being abnormal in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)...
Detection of cerebral degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using high-field magnetic resonance spectroscopySanjay Kalra
Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Walter C Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre, 8440 112th Street, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Botulinum toxin injections do not improve freezing of gait in Parkinson diseaseMarguerite Wieler
Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Neurology 65:626-8. 2005..The authors conducted a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study of BTX-A vs placebo in 12 subjects with PD and FOG. No significant improvement with BTX-A was found using subjective and objective measures...
Valvular heart disease in pergolide-treated Parkinson's diseaseJames Scozzafava
Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Can J Neurol Sci 33:111-3. 2006..Subsequent discontinuation of pergolide was associated with symptomatic improvement. CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the severity and rapidity with which cardiac valvular abnormalities can develop in patients receiving pergolide...
