  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 Apolipoprotein E and dementia in Parkinson disease: a meta-analysis
    Xuemei Huang
    Department of Neurology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill 27599 7025, USA
    Arch Neurol 63:189-93. 2006

    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...
  5. 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

    ..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...

    Department of Neurology, Pennsylvania State University Milton S Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania 17033 0850, USA
    Mov Disord 27:1636-43. 2012
    ..These findings suggest that fractional anisotropy changes may mark early pathological changes in caudal SN, whereas the changes in R2* may more closely track PD's clinical progression after symptom onset...

    Guangwei Du
    Department of Neurology, Pennsylvania State University Milton S Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania 17033 0850, USA

    Mechelle M Lewis
    Department of Neurology, Pennsylvania State University Milton S Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA 17033 0850, USA
    Neurobiol Aging 34:1497-503. 2013
    ..The association of higher RN iron content with PD-related dyskinesia suggests increased iron content is involved in, or reflects, greater cerebellar compensatory capacity and thus increased likelihood of LID development...
