Parkinson's disease (PD) involves complex molecular interactions and diverse comorbidities. To better understand its molecular mechanisms, we employed systems medicine approaches using the PD map, a detailed repository of PD-related interactions and applied Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBNs) to capture the stochastic nature of molecular dynamics. By integrating cohort-level and real-world patient data, we modeled PD's subtype-specific pathway deregulations, providing a refined representation of its molecular landscape. Our study identifies key regulatory biomolecules and pathways that vary across PD subtypes, offering insights into the disease's progression and patient stratification. These findings have significant implications for the development of targeted therapeutic interventions.

Dementia is a group of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, metabolic dementia and toxic dementia. The treatment of dementia mainly includes symptomatic treatment by controlling the primary disease and accompanying symptoms, nutritional support therapy for repairing nerve cells, psychological auxiliary treatment, and treatment that improves cognitive function through drugs. Among them, drug therapy to improve cognitive function is important.

This study aimed to evaluate different combinations of three dietary supplements for potential additive or synergistic effects in an Parkinson's Disease model. The complex and diverse processes leading to neurodegeneration in each patient with a neurodegenerative disorder cannot be effectively addressed by a single medication. Instead, various combinations of potentially neuroprotective agents targeting different disease mechanisms simultaneously may show improved additive or synergistic efficacy in slowing the disease progression and allowing the agents to be utilized at lower doses to minimize side effects.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Managing PD requires accurate assessment of motor and non-motor symptoms, often complicated by the subjectivity in symptom reporting and the limited availability of neurologists. To address these challenges, commercial wearable devices have emerged to continuously monitor PD symptoms outside the clinical setting.

Background: Interest in wearable device use in Parkinson's disease (PD) has grown rapidly with many compelling studies supporting diagnostic and therapeutic uses. Concurrently, consumer devices have proliferated and their role in health and wellness has expanded. However, incorporation of consumer and medical wearable devices into medical care has in our experience been limited.
