Article Synopsis
- The study investigates working memory (WM) impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) and its connection to altered EEG patterns as a possible indicator of progressing dementia.
- Three groups were studied: PD patients with early dementia (PDD), those without dementia (PDND), and healthy controls (CON), while they performed a word memorization task to analyze their brain activity.
- Results showed higher delta and beta power in the PDD group during WM tasks, along with decreased gamma power compared to controls, suggesting potential biomarkers for assessing early WM impairment and dementia progression.
Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can aid in alleviating clinical symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). To better understand the neural mechanism of the intervention, neuroimaging modalities have been used to assess the effects of rTMS.
Objective: To study the changes in cortical connectivity and motor performance with rTMS at supplementary motor area (SMA) in PD using clinical assessment tools and task-based functional MRI.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder with alterations in cortical functional activity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is known to incur motor benefits in PD by inducing motor activity through cortical connectivity, although the mechanisms are unclear. The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) (at three cortical sites) on functional and structural plasticity were studied in PD to understand inhibitory or excitatory rTMS-induced motor improvement.

Methods: After ethics approval, a prospective cohort study was conducted at the movement disorder clinic of tertiary care hospital for 2 years (2014-2016).
Iron ore is generally transported using a traditional method that releases significant amounts of dust into the environment. In contrast, the pipeline transportation of slurry is noticeably a sustainable approach for efficiently transporting iron ore by reducing the environmental pollution. The interparticle interaction of the iron ore particles should be mutually repulsive for steady dispersion.
