Development of hypothyroidism may easily be overlooked when occurring together with Parkinson's disease (PD), because many of the symptoms of the two disorders are similar. We report on a case of a woman suffering from both PD and hypothyroidism and review the literature on the subject.

Delirium after deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of incidence and risk factors.
Neurosurg Rev
January 2025
Department of Neurological Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR, USA.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a valuable treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication. Understanding the risk factors for POD is crucial for optimizing patient selection and developing preventative measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify predictors of POD in PD patients undergoing DBS surgery.

Neurol Ther
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel.
Background: Tremor in essential tremor and in tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease is assessed by subjective observations in patients undergoing focused ultrasound thalamotomy, a minimally invasive procedure intended to alleviate tremor in these patients.
Objective: To develop an objective tool for tremor analysis to be used before and after focused ultrasound thalamotomy treatment in the treated hand (contralateral to ablation) and non-treated (ipsilateral to ablation).
Methods: Using image processing and signal processing that utilized images of a Archimedes spiral drawing, we created a tool to analyze tremor.
Targeting signaling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases: Quercetin's cellular and molecular mechanisms for neuroprotection.
Animal Model Exp Med
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Daffodil International University, Daffodil Smart City, Bangladesh.
Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, are complex and challenging due to their intricate pathophysiology and limited treatment options.
Methods: This review systematically sourced articles related to neurodegenerative diseases, neurodegeneration, quercetin, and clinical studies from primary medical databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science.
Results: Recent studies have included quercetin to impact the cellular and molecular pathways involved in neurodegeneration.
Digital health technologies and self-efficacy in Parkinson's: a scoping review.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Objective: Prior research has identified that people with Parkinson's reporting lower levels of self-efficacy exhibit worsening motor and non-motor symptomology, reduced quality of life, and self-management. Our key objective was to conduct a scoping review examining the impact of digital health technologies on self-efficacy in people with Parkinson's.
Design: A scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework was undertaken.
Micrographia, characterised by small handwriting, is often linked to Parkinson's disease, but also resulted to injured brain lesions. The left-handed women in her 20s developed 'fast micrographia' after a traumatic brain injury from a traffic accident, showing bilateral subdural haematomas and frontal lobe contusions, but she had no paralysis and extrapyramidal symptoms. Neuropsychological tests showed reduced processing speed and memory deficits, aligning with frontal lobe damage.
