This proposal will evaluate the effects of Bosutinib (Bosulif, Pfizer®) treatment - an FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets c-Abelson (Abl) and Src tyrosine kinases- in patients with DLB. Investigators have demonstrated safety and efficacy of this compound in pre-clinical animal
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by bradykinesia (slowness of movements) associated with tremor at rest and/or muscle rigidity. PD is typically associated with a significant loss of dopaminergic neurons in the

Objective:
In dysautonomias, altered functions of one or more components of the autonomic nervous system adversely affect health. A subset of dysautonomias consists of chronic autonomic failure (CAF) syndromes. A key sign of CAF is orthostatic hypotension (OH) due to sympathetic neurocirculatory
