Abstract

As part of a genetic study, we investigated the accuracy of a telephone questionnaire to diagnose or screen for Parkinson's disease (PD). We studied 20 PD patients randomly selected among all incident cases in Olmsted County, Minnesota, for the period 1970 through 1988. Each patient was matched by age and sex to a subject free of PD or parkinsonism residing in the same county. In addition, we studied 20 patients with PD referred to our institution from outside of Olmsted County between 1991 and 1993. Medical record documentation of disease status for both affected and unaffected subjects served as the standard for comparison. A trained interviewer kept unaware of disease status administered nine symptom questions via telephone to all study subjects (or their proxy). Seventeen PD cases from Olmsted County, all 20 referral cases, and 16 unaffected subjects participated in the interview (total = 37 with PD and 16 unaffected subjects); 36 interviews (24 PD) were with a proxy and 17 (13 PD) were direct. Questions regarding "poor balance," "trouble buttoning," and "trouble arising" had the highest sensitivity; questions regarding "shaking," "feet stuck to the floor," "softer voice," and "smaller writing" had the highest specificity. ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
