## Abstract The effects of the NMDA antagonist dextromethorphan (DM) on levodopa‐associated dyskinesias and motor fluctuations were studied in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. During initial open‐label dose escalation, 6 of 18 patients reported a beneficial effect at their individually d

Chronic dopaminomimetic administration to parkinsonian animal models or Parkinson's disease patients leads to characteristic alteration in motor response. Previous studies suggested that the nonphysiologic stimulation of dopaminergic receptors on striatal medium spiny neurons enhances the synaptic e
## Abstract In this prospective study of 34 patients with Parkinson's disease, measurements of the short duration levodopa motor response have been performed in defined __off__ states at 3 yearly intervals over a mean period of 11.4 years from the point of commencement of levodopa treatment. Twenty
To determine if there is a relationship between development of acute doxorubicin toxicity, pretreatment liver function studies, and response, 64 acute nonlymphocytic leukemia patients undergoing induction chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cytosine arabinoside were evaluated. No statistically signifi
Antibody responses to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope proteins E l and E2 were analyzed using two original assays in sera from 86 patients in different stages of disease. A Western blot assay and an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) were developed using envelope proteins produced, respectively, in
## Abstract In this 12‐week, randomized, open‐label, blinded‐rater, parallel‐group trial, the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tolcapone and pergolide were compared in parkinsonian patients with a fluctuating response to levodopa. Patients received tolcapone 100 mg three times daily (t.i.d.),
