By Paul McClure May 10, 2023 New research has used a specially-designed machine learning algorithm to identify unique combinations of metabolites that may be able to detect Parkinson’s disease early Depositphotos Parkinson’s disease (PD) is growing more rapidly than any other neurological disease, which makes its early detection so important. Researchers have developed a new machine-learning tool that shows promise...
by Justin Jackson , Medical Xpress Shifted microbial composition across the prodromal and early stages of α-synucleinopathy. a Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of microbial communities across control (n = 108), RBD-FDR (n = 127), RBD (n = 170), and early PD (n = 36) based on Bray–Curtis distance matrix at the genus level. The label of each group indicates group centroid. Boxplots along...

MAYO CLINIC ROCHESTER, Minn. — Surgical removal of both ovaries is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism in women younger than 43, Mayo Clinic researchers report in JAMA Network Open. Using health record data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, the study included 2,750 women who had undergone surgery to remove both ovaries, a procedure called bilateral oophorectomy, and...

by University of Rochester Medical Center Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A common and widely used chemical may be fueling the rise of the world’s fastest growing brain condition—Parkinson’s disease. For the past 100 years, trichloroethylene (TCE) has been used to decaffeinate coffee, degrease metal, and dry clean clothes. It contaminates the Marine Corps base Camp...

In a postmortem analysis of brain neurons, researchers compared samples from 50 people who died with Parkinson’s and 50 who had no sign of the disease. They found more than 200 genes with different epigenetic marks in diseased and healthy brains—but the affected genes were almost entirely different in men and women. “WHAT WE CALL PARKINSON’S DISEASE,...
