Introduction: Hip fractures can be debilitating, especially in patients with pre-existing Parkinson's disease; they have reportedly worse outcomes than non-Parkinson's disease patients.

Sources Of Data: A computerized literature search on PubMed, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL, supplemented by a manual search of related publications.

Areas Of Agreement: Parkinson's disease patients were found to have significantly lower bone mineral density; higher incidence of falls and hip fractures; delays to receiving their Parkinson's disease medication and surgery; higher risk of pneumonia, urinary infection, pressure sores, post-operative mortality; surgical complications and sequelae, including failed fixation, dislocation, longer hospital stay, re-operation; and increased risk of contralateral hip fracture.

Areas Of Controversy: Regain of mobility and return to previous residential status have been variably reported.

Growing Points: All Parkinson's disease patients should be screened and considered for primary prevention treatment. On admission with hip fractures, attention should be paid to avoid delays to medication, ensuring safe anaesthetic and timely surgery, and post-operative chest physiotherapy and mobilization.

Research: Research is needed in minimizing the bone-resorptive effects of anti-Parkinson's disease medication.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a limb movement disorder caused by the degeneration of brain neurons and seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. However, the current drugs are symptomatic treatments that cannot prevent or delay the development of the disease. Targeted therapy for pathogenesis may be the direction of development in the future.

Introduction: Cognitive symptoms are common in Parkinson's Disease (PD), and digital interventions like telerehabilitation other an accessible way to manage these symptoms. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Home-Based Computerized Cognitive Training (HB-CCT) program in individuals with PD using a pilot randomized cross-over design.

Methods: Twenty-five participants (mean age 69.

Background: Longitudinal studies investigating cognitive function changes in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) are limited. The variability of cognitive impairment across clinical subtypes of PSP remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the longitudinal changes in cognitive function between patients with PSP and Parkinson's disease (PD) and to assess differences in cognitive impairment among PSP subtypes.

Background: There remains a significant gap in systematic research on healthcare utilization behaviors and the influencing factors for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly those in late stages.

Methods: PD patients in late stage (Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stages 4 and 5) and their caregivers from Seoul National University Hospital Movement Disorders Clinic participated. A total of 103 respondents completed a questionnaire covering medical utilization behaviors, perceptions of face-to-face and telemedicine consultations, and additional medical service needs.

Resting state electroencephalography (EEG) has proved useful in studying electrophysiological changes in neurodegenerative diseases. In many neuropathologies, microstate analysis of the eyes-closed (EC) scalp EEG is a robust and highly reproducible technique for assessing topological changes with high temporal resolution. However, scalp EEG microstate maps tend to underestimate the non-occipital or non-alpha-band networks, which can also be used to detect neuropathological changes.
