Late Life Depression (LLD) is a prevalent, disabling, and at times lethal condition for which currently available treatments are often ineffective. No prior study has comprehensively examined dopamine-dependent behaviors (i.e., reward processing, cognition, motor function) in LLD, and none has

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness, in individuals over the age of 50, in the developed world(1,2). AMD becomes more common as people age, and is more common in lightly pigmented individuals(3). AMD appears more common in patients with Parkinson's Disease,
Specific Aims: In medically stable, older (> 50 years) HIV patients with cognitive impairment, this study will:
Overall: Test the feasibility of recruitment, retention, and adherence to a ketogenic diet versus patient choice diet (PCD) intervention.
Primary: Compare the impact of a 12-week KD versus
Persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) have progressive disabling tremor, slowness, stiffness, balance impairment, cognitive deficits, psychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, fatigue and insomnia. Tremor may interfere with necessary daily and work functions. The disorder affects approximately
Cytokines released by an activated immune system have been associated with decreased brain dopamine and the development of depression. Biomarkers of inflammation, such as inflammatory cytokines and acute-phase proteins like C-reactive protein (CRP), are elevated in a significant proportion of
Study Background
The earliest observation that there is an association between H. pylori and PD was in 1966 when Strang found that gastric and duodenal ulcers were more common in PD patients than their age and gender-matched controls and that these ulcers preceded the diagnosis of PD by up to 20
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by motor symptoms. Patients are initially treated successfully with drugs (e.g. levodopa), unfortunately use is limited due to severe side effects. In the advanced stages of PD neurosurgical treatment is the next
