Early detection of Parkinson's disease: Systematic analysis of the influence of the eyes on quantitative biomarkers in resting state electroencephalography.

While resting state electroencephalography (EEG) provides relevant information on pathological changes in Parkinson's disease, most studies focus on the eyes-closed EEG biomarkers. Recent evidence has shown that both eyes-open EEG and reactivity to eyes-opening can also differentiate Parkinson's disease from healthy aging, but no consensus has been reached on a discriminatory capability benchmark. The aim of this study was to determine the resting-state EEG biomarkers suitable for real-time application that can differentiate Parkinson's patients from healthy subjects under both eyes closed and open.

Prevalence, clinical characteristics and associated factors of cardiac cephalalgia: A prospective study.

Background: The prevalence of cardiac cephalalgia is unknown and there is limited information about its clinical features. We aimed to assess the prevalence of cardiac cephalalgia, its clinical characteristics and associated factors.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome admitted to the Cardiology Service at Hospital Clínico Universitario Lozano Blesa, Zaragoza, Spain, over a one-year period.

[Rapidly progressive dementia as the initial presentation of human immunodeficiency virus infection].

Dementia associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is currently a rare cause of rapidly progressive dementia. Its appearance is not only limited to the late phases of the disease, but can sometimes be the presenting symptom. We present the case of a patient who debuted with anxious-depressive symptoms and rapid cognitive deteri-oration with early repercussions on his daily functionality.

Theory of mind: a new perspective on cluster headache-a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Theory of mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute mental states of self and others, such as beliefs (cognitive ToM) and feelings (affective ToM). Based on the role of the hypothalamus in pain and social cognition, our aim is to determine whether ToM is impaired in patients with cluster headache (CH).

Methods: Cross-sectional study in which 31 episodic cluster headache (ECH) patients outside the bout and 20 matched controls carried out social cognition and executive function tasks.
