The Effects of ICD Coding Transition on Neurologic Diagnoses
The transition from the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-9 to ICD-10 coding system may impact estimates of neurologic disease prevalence.
People with Parkinson Disease Not Fully On Board With Cannabis
With cannabis in the United States becoming more widely available for medical and recreational use, some with Parkinson disease (PD) are trying cannabis to control symptoms. However, not that much is currently known about the attitudes and experiences regarding cannabis use among those with PD.

And while studies of sebum are commonplace in dermatological conditions, sebum as a biofluid has rarely been used in disease diagnostics.
Exercise May Slow Cognitive Decline in Some With Early Parkinson Disease
Increased levels of physical activity may have a protective effect on apolipoprotein E ε4-related cognitive decline in early PD.
Type 2 Diabetes Tied to Higher Risk for Parkinson Disease
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk for Parkinson disease (PD), as well as more rapid PD progression.
Low HDL-C and Greater HDL-C Variability Linked to Higher Risk of Parkinson Disease
A team of researchers investigated the longitudinal association between high HDL-C levels, HDL-C variability, and the risk of developing Parkinson disease.
Certain Prostate Drugs Tied to Risk for Parkinson Disease
Users of terazosin, doxazosin, or alfuzosin are at lower risk for developing Parkinson disease compared with users of tamsulosin.
Parkinson Disease: The Breakdown and Pathophysiology of Chronic Pain
Among the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain has become a topic of increasing relevance in research and clinical settings.
