Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the second-most-common etiology of in elderly after Parkinson's disease (PD). Many patients with DIP may be misdiagnosed PD because clinical features these two conditions are indistinguishable. Moreover, neurological deficits severe enough to affect daily activities and persist for long periods time cessation drug taking. In addition typical antipsychotics, caused by gastrointestinal prokinetics, calcium channel blockers, atypical antiepileptic drugs. The...

As the most feasible solution beyond FinFET technology, a gate-all-around Multi-Bridge-Channel MOSFET (MBCFET) technology is successfully demonstrated including fully working high density SRAM. MBCFETs are fabricated using 90% or more of processes with only few revised masks, allowing easy migration from process. Not on-target but also multiple Vt achieved in challengingly limited vertical spacing between channels. Also, reliability shown to be comparable that FinFETs. Three representative...

Mitochondrial function influences Parkinson's disease (PD) through the accumulation of pathogenic alpha-synuclein, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neuroinflammation. The mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN), representing copies within a cell, serves as an easily assessable proxy for function.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on Parkinson's disease (PD) have mostly been done in Europeans and Japanese. No study has Han Chinese, which make up nearly a fifth of the world population. We conducted first Chinese GWAS analysing total 22,729 subjects (5,125 PD cases 17,604 controls) from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, mainland China Taiwan. performed imputation, merging logistic regression analyses 2,402,394 SNPs passing quality control filters 779 cases, 13,227 controls,...

Although several studies have identified a distinct gut microbial composition in Parkinson's disease (PD), few investigated the oral microbiome or functional alteration of PD. We aimed to investigate connection between and changes PD-specific using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The taxonomic was significantly different PD patients healthy controls (P = 0.003 0.001, respectively). Oral Lactobacillus more abundant associated with opportunistic pathogens (FDR-adjusted P < 0.038). Functional...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. However, cell type–dependent transcriptional regulatory programs responsible for PD pathogenesis remain elusive. Here, we establish transcriptomic and epigenomic landscapes of the substantia nigra by profiling 113,207 nuclei obtained from healthy controls patients with PD. Our multiomics data integration provides type annotation 128,724 cis-regulatory elements (cREs) uncovers type–specific dysregulations in cREs strong...

Previous studies showed that lifestyle behaviors (cigarette smoking, alcohol, coffee) are inversely associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The prodromal phase of PD raises the possibility these associations may be explained by reverse causation.To examine using two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) and potential for survival incidence-prevalence biases.We used summary statistics from publicly available to estimate association genetic polymorphisms behaviors, Courage-PD (7,369 cases,...
