- The study investigates the connection between kidney function (measured primarily through eGFR) and cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease patients, highlighting that this relationship is not well understood.
- Findings reveal that lower eGFR is linked to increased risk of cognitive decline and may predict changes in key biomarkers related to neurodegeneration.
- The research indicates that monitoring eGFR could help identify Parkinson’s patients at risk of rapid cognitive decline and may have implications for future treatment strategies.

Apathy is a common and challenging symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), with a study suggesting that abnormal iron metabolism may be linked to it.
Researchers analyzed data from 201 PD patients, using assessments like the Apathy Scale (AS) and serum iron levels to find correlations, particularly in male participants.
A nomogram was created to predict apathy based on five parameters, showing good accuracy and indicating that factors like total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and depression scores are useful for identifying apathetic PD patients.

Sleep disorders are common and significantly impact patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), affecting both motor and non-motor symptoms.
Researchers studied 328 participants using sleep quality assessments and various analyses to explore these associations.
The findings revealed that poor sleep correlates with more severe PD symptoms, with specific sleep durations linked to increased non-motor symptom burdens, highlighting the need for better sleep management in PD treatment.
