Peripheral artery disease (PAD) carries a high burden of morbidity when identified in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, identification of patients with concomitant CAD and PAD remains challenging. Using linked administrative databases of 207,026 individuals with CAD between 2002 and 2019 (median follow-up, 4.

- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder marked by the loss of dopamine-producing pathways, leading to changes in motor coordination and a proposed three-stage progression from silent onset to clinical symptoms.
- Recent research utilized advanced imaging techniques to observe structural changes in the motor cortex and corticospinal tract in patients with PD, revealing adaptive alterations linked to the disease's progression.
- Findings indicate that while there is no neuron loss in the motor cortex during early or late PD stages, significant changes occur in axonal structure and myelination, along with markers of neurodegeneration, highlighting early impacts of PD on motor networks.
