Vigor and the LDR in Parkinson Disease Test
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common disorder in which reduced speed of movement results from inadequate brain production of the chemical dopamine. The most effective treatment for PD is the drug levo-dopa, which partially replaces brain dopamine. Despite decades of successful use, how levo-dopa improves speed of movement in PD …

Analysis of Sympathetic Activity in Willis-Ekbom Disease
While the pathophysiology of RLS is yet to be elucidated and is likely multifactorial, one theory involves a reduction in dopaminergic outflow to the preganglionic sympathetic neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Dopamine inhibits preganglionic sympathetic neurons, therefore a reduction in dopamine may in turn increase sympathetic …

Preoperative Percutaneous RVAD to Preemptively Treat Right Heart Failure Post-LVAD
Prior studies have shown that left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation commonly results in right ventricular failure (RVF). Right ventricular dysfunction and failure after LVAD implantation is known to increase morbidity and mortality and contribute to longer post-implant hospital length of stay. Since RVF is difficult to predict and can …

Attentional Performance in Parkinson Disease
Background Parkinson Disease (PD) is a nervous system disorder that affects movement. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain. As PD progresses, there is less and less dopamine in the brain. Researchers think there may be a relationship between differences in attention and dopamine in people with PD.

Clinical Features Associated With Restless Legs Syndrome.
Many comorbidities can make RLS worse. Augmentation syndrome is the main complication of dopamine agonists. However, only a few studies have addressed the clinical, biological and pharmacological factors associated with the evolution of the severity of RLS.
