  1. ncbi Shape (but not volume) changes in the thalami in Parkinson disease
    Martin J McKeown
    Pacific Parkinson s Research Center, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
    BMC Neurol 8:8. 2008
    ..Our objective was to determine if changes in the thalami could be non-invasively detected in structural MRI images obtained from subjects with Parkinson disease (PD), compared to age-matched controls...
  2. ncbi APOE-[epsilon]2 allele associated with higher prevalence of sporadic Parkinson disease
    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7025, USA
    Neurology 62:2198-202. 2004
    ..The authors hypothesized that any association between PD and APOE alleles and genotypes would be too small to be detected or precisely estimated by an individual case-controlled study...
  3. ncbi Low LDL cholesterol and increased risk of Parkinson's disease: prospective results from Honolulu-Asia Aging Study
    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 7025, USA

    ..2, 0.9). This prospective study supports the hypothesis that low LDL-C is associated with an increased risk of PD. Although confirmation is required, the underlying mechanisms may be useful in understanding key aspects of PD...
  4. ncbi Asymmetrical ventricular enlargement in Parkinson's disease
    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 7025, USA, and University Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
    Mov Disord 22:1657-60. 2007
    ..This is the first report to suggest the presence of asymmetrical ventricular enlargement in PD, findings that may be worthy of further study...
  5. ncbi Lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are associated with Parkinson's disease
    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
    Mov Disord 22:377-81. 2007
    ..Thus, our data provide preliminary evidence that low LDL-C may be associated with higher occurrence of PD, and/or that statin use may lower PD occurrence, either of which finding warrants further investigation...

    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill 27599 7025, USA
