Heart-brain synchronization breakdown in Parkinson's disease
(Nature, 2022-05)
Heart rate variability (HRV) abnormalities are potential early biomarkers in Parkinson's disease (PD) but their relationship with central autonomic network (CAN) activity is not fully understood. We analyzed the synchronization ...
Potential Tear Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease—A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the tear proteome profile of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD, n = 24), carriers of the E46K-SNCA ...
Differential Exposure to N-Ethyl N-Nitrosourea During Pregnancy is Relevant to the Induction of Glioma and PNSTs in the Brain
(Elsevier, 2021-05-26)
Exposure to N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) during pregnancy has been associated with an increase in brain tumors in the progeny. This study investigated the brain tumorigenic effect of N-ethyl N-nitrosourea (ENU) after ...
Influence of ocular biometric factors on the defocus curve in an enlarged depth-of-focus intraocular lens
(Springer, 2023-03)
Background
To assess the influence of biometric measurements on the defocus curve after the implantation of enlarged depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods
Patients who underwent cataract surgery with ...
Brain fog of post-COVID-19 condition and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, same medical disorder?
(BMC, 2022-12)
Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is characterized by persistent physical and mental fatigue. The post-COVID-19 condition patients refer physical fatigue and cognitive impairment ...
Spatial characterization of the effect of age and sex on macular layer thicknesses and foveal pit morphology
(Public Library Science, 2022-12)
Characterizing the effect of age and sex on macular retinal layer thicknesses and foveal pit morphology is crucial to differentiating between natural and disease-related changes. We applied advanced image analysis techniques ...
Diagnostic classification of Parkinson’s disease based on non-motor manifestations and machine learning strategies
(Springer, 2023-03)
Non-motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) appear early and have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, but few studies have evaluated their predictive potential with machine learning algorithms. ...
Visual Outcomes and Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: a Review
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
Visual Outcomes And Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: A Review
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
