AI Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known for its motor symptoms, but research is highlighting its significant effects on non-motor functions, particularly ocular health.
- This review discusses the connection between PD and various common eye diseases, including dry eye disease and cataracts, emphasizing that these ocular issues can serve as early indicators of PD.
- Future studies should focus on exploring links between PD and additional eye conditions, like myopia, to develop better treatment approaches for patients.
Article Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifaceted neurodegenerative disorder characterized by predominantly motor symptoms. However, recent research has broadened our understanding of PD by revealing its impact on non-motor functions, including ocular manifestations. This review explored the intricate relationship between PD and ocular health, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying common ocular diseases such as dry eye disease, cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. It also underscores the importance of recognizing ocular manifestations as potential early markers of PD, as well as their impact on patients' daily activities, necessitating prompt identification and intervention to prevent complications and enhance the overall quality of life. Furthermore, future research should prioritize unraveling the potential association between PD and other prevalent ocular diseases, such as myopia, to formulate effective treatment strategies.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and challenging neurodegenerative disorder, and may involve impaired autophagy. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is crucial for regulating autophagy-related genes, maintaining cellular homeostasis. Electroacupuncture (EA), a complementary and alternative therapy for PD, has gained widespread clinical application.

Objective: Corpus callosum (CC) damage is the most consistent and typical change in early Parkinson's disease (PD), and is associated with various PD symptoms. However, the precise relationship between CC subregions and specific PD symptoms have not been identified comprehensively. In this study, we investigated the association between specific CC subregion alterations and PD symptoms using diffusion-weighted imaging.

Single-cell transcriptomics applied to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for elucidating the pathophysiology of neurologic diseases has produced only a preliminary characterization of CSF immune cells. CSF derives from and borders central nervous system (CNS) tissue, allowing for comprehensive accounting of cell types along with their relative abundance and immunologic profiles relevant to CNS diseases. Using integration techniques applied to publicly available datasets in combination with our own studies, we generated a compendium with 139 subjects encompassing 135 CSF and 58 blood samples.

Whether autoimmune diseases caused any effects on the risk of cancers remained yet clarified. This study aimed to investigate the causal effect of autoimmune diseases on pan-cancers through mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The GWAS summary datasets of 10 autoimmune diseases were derived from the IEU or UK biobank website.

Introduction: The long-term effects of surgery for subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on cognitive aspects of motor control for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are largely unknown. We compared saccade latency and reach reaction time (RT) pre- and post-surgery while participants with PD were off-treatment.
Methods: In this preliminary study, we assessed people with PD approximately 1 month pre-surgery while OFF medication (OFF-MEDS) and about 8 months post-surgery while OFF medication and STN-DBS treatment (OFF-MEDS/OFF-DBS).
