Do We Need to Rethink the Epidemiology and Healthcare Utilization of Parkinson's...
Epidemiological aspects of Parkinson's disease (PD), co-occurring diseases and medical healthcare utilization of PD patients are still largely elusive. Based on claims data of 3.7 million statutory insurance members in Germany in 2015 the prevalence and incidence of PD was determined. PD cases had at...

Serum Inflammatory Profile for the Discrimination of Clinical Subtypes...
Background: Blood levels of immune markers have been proposed to discriminate patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) from controls. However, differences between clinical PD subgroups regarding these markers still need to be identified. Objective: To investigate whether clinical phenotypes can be predicted...

White Matter Changes-Related Gait and Executive Function Deficits: Associations...
Background: White matter changes (WMC) are a common finding among older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and have been associated with, e.g., gait deficits and executive dysfunction. How the factors age and PD influence WMC-related deficits is, to our best knowledge, not investigated...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) in Parkinson's Disease: Potential...
Introduction
Biomarkers indicating trait, progression and prediction of pathology and symptoms in Parkinson's
disease (PD) often lack specificity or reliability. Investigating biomarker variance
between individuals and over time and the effect of confounding factors is essential for the
evaluation...

Prodromal Markers in Parkinson’s Disease: Limitations in Longitudinal Studies...
A growing body of evidence supports a prodromal neurodegenerative process
preceding the clinical onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Studies have identified
several different prodromal markers that may have the potential to predict the
conversion from healthy to clinical PD but use considerably different...

Aiming for Study Comparability in Parkinson's Disease: Proposal for a Modular...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an example for a complex field of research, which is driven by themultifactorial etiology, the heterogeneity in phenotype and the variability in disease progression,as well as the presence of a long pre-diagnostic period, called prodromal PD, lasting up to decades(Postuma...

Age and Vascular Burden Determinants of Cortical Hemodynamics Underlying...
BACKGROUND Aging processes and several vascular burden factors have been shown to increase the risk of dementia including Alzheimer's disease. While pathological alterations in dementia precede diagnosis by many years, reorganization of brain processing might temporarily delay cognitive decline. We hypothesized...

Naturally Occurring Alpha-Synuclein Autoantibodies in Parkinson’s Disease:...
Alpha-synuclein ($α$-Syn) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), which can partly be modulated by innate and adaptive immune functions, and vice versa. Here, naturally occurring $α$-Syn autoantibodies ($α$-Syn-nAbs) may be effective against $α$-Syn pathoetiology and...
