Improving memory in Parkinson's disease: A healthy brain ageing cognitive training programAlthough the study was limited by the lack of randomized allocation to treatment and control groups, these findings suggest that a healthy brain ageing cognitive training program may be a viable tool to improve memory and/or slow cognitive decline in people with Parkinson's disease. It also appeared successful for increasing awareness of adaptive and/or compensatory cognitive strategies, as well as modifiable risk factors to optimize brain functioning. 29 April 2013
Musculoskeletal problems in Parkinson's disease: Neglected issuesConclusion: Musculoskeletal problems were more common in the PD group than in the controls. Furthermore, despite PD patients having a higher prevalence, they did not receive adequate treatment. 18 April 2013
The Beneficial Role of Intensive Exercise on Parkinson Disease ProgressionThe authors outline the relation between intensive exercises and neuroplastic activity on animal models of Parkinson disease and discuss the clinical results of different intensive strategies on motor performance and disease progression in patients with Parkinson disease. 02 April 2013

The PDQ-Carer: Development and validation of a summary index scoreThe analyses undertaken here indicate that data from the PDQ-Carer can be presented in summary form. The index will provide an overall indication of the impact of caring. Furthermore, the single index reduces the number of statistical comparisons, and hence the role of chance, when exploring data from the PDQ-Carer. 01 April 2013
Comparison of caregiver strain in Parkinson's disease between Yamagata, Japan, and Maryland, The United States178 Spousepatient pairs were assessed. The level of caregiver strain in PD did not differ between Yamagata, Japan and Maryland, US despite differences in demographics and social support programs in the two regions. Yamagata spouses reported physical, time and financial constraints, while Maryland spouses reported more emotional distress. I 19 March 2013
Pain in Parkinson disease: A review of the literatureAlthough pain is one of the non-motor symptoms most frequency experienced by patients, it is often under recognized and inadequately treated in contrast to motor symptoms Multicenter studies are needed that include a large cohort of subjects evaluated in multiple dimensions including pain in order to obtain more data and to allow improved management of pain in patients with PD. 01 March 2013
Recognition of facial and musical emotions in Parkinson's diseaseResults showed that the PD group was significantly impaired for recognition of both fear and sadness emotions from facial expressions, whereas their performance in recognition of emotions from musical excerpts was not different from that of the control group. The scores of fear and sadness recognition from faces were neither correlated to scores in tests for executive and cognitive functions, nor to scores in self-assessment scales. 01 March 2013
Parkinson's disease and osteoporosisConclusion: bone loss in PD is multifactorial. It is clinically important because of the concomitant risk of fractures. Screening for osteoporosis should be considered more often, and therapeutic interventions should be initiated. 01 March 2013
