Clin Transl Gastroenterol. 2016 Mar 31;7:e159. doi: 10.1038/ctg.2016.19.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to present procedure- and device-associated adverse events (AEs) identified with long-term drug delivery via percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J). Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG, also known in US as carbidopa-levodopa enteral suspension, CLES) is...

Evolution of visual art with dopaminergic therapy.

Journal of clinical movement disorders

Walker RH.
PMID: 27004128
J Clin Mov Disord. 2016 Mar 21;3:6. doi: 10.1186/s40734-016-0034-y. eCollection 2016.

A patient with right-side-predominant Parkinson's disease presented visual artwork which improved in resemblance to the model which he was copying with increasing doses of levodopa. I propose that increased dopaminergic replacement resulted in improved attention to detail, mediated by...

Release behaviour and toxicity evaluation of levodopa from carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Beilstein journal of nanotechnology

Tan JM, Foo JB, Fakurazi S, Hussein MZ.
PMID: 25671168
Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2015 Jan 22;6:243-53. doi: 10.3762/bjnano.6.23. eCollection 2015.

This work explores the potential use of commercially obtained, carboxylated, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT-COOH) as nanocarriers for the antiparkinson drug, levodopa (LD). The resulting nanohybrid was characterized using materials characterization methods including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, elemental...

Clinical Response of Levodopa Carbidopa Combination in Patients with Idiopathic Parkinsonism.

Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease is the most common form of a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders. The use of levodopa as dopamine - replacement therapy is highly effective in ameliorating the symptoms of the disease and remains the standard drug...

Levodopa-carbidopa enteral suspension in advanced Parkinson's disease: clinical evidence and experience.

Therapeutic advances in neurological disorders

Virhammar J, Nyholm D.
PMID: 28344656
Ther Adv Neurol Disord. 2017 Mar;10(3):171-187. doi: 10.1177/1756285616681280. Epub 2016 Dec 01.

The duration of action of oral levodopa becomes shorter as Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses. Patients with advanced PD may develop potentially disabling motor fluctuations and abnormal involuntary movement (dyskinesia), which cannot be managed with optimized oral or transdermal PD...

Clinical characteristics of epileptic seizures in a case of dihydropteridine reductase deficiency.

Epilepsy & behavior case reports

Furujo M, Kinoshita M, Ichiba Y, Romstad A, Shintaku H, Kubo T.

We assessed the clinical characteristics and efficacy of neurotransmitters and levetiracetam in a patient with hyperphenylalaninemia due to dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) deficiency who developed epileptic seizures. A boy with DHPR deficiency, who had been successfully treated with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4),...

Case Reports Showing a Long-Term Effect of Subanesthetic Ketamine Infusion in Reducing l-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesias.

Low-dose subanesthetic intravenous ketamine infusion treatment has led to long-term reduction of treatment-resistant depression and of chronic pain states. We report on low-dose subanesthetic intravenous ketamine infusion treatment in...

Automatic behavior and communication due to pramipexole.

Journal of clinical movement disorders

Walker RH.
PMID: 27403333
