Abstract
After only Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. The incidence of this disease increases with age, especially for those above 70 years old. There are many risk factors that are well-established in the contribution to the development of PD, such as age, gender, ethnicity, rapid eye movement sleep disorder, high consumption of dairy products, traumatic brain injury, genetics, and pesticides/herbicides. Interestingly, smoking, consumption of caffeine, and physical activities are the protective factors of PD. A deficiency of dopamine in the substantia nigra of the brainstem is the main pathology. This, subsequently, alters the neurotransmitter, causing an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signals. In addition, genetics is also involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. As a result, patients exhibit characteristic motor symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, bradykinesia, and postural instability, along with non-motor symptoms, including dementia, urinary incontinence, sleeping disturbances, and orthostatic hypotension. PD may resemble other diseases; therefore, it is important to pay attention to the diagnosis criteria. Parkinson's disease dementia can share common features with AD; this can include behavioral as well as psychiatric symptoms, in addition to the pathology being protein aggregate accumulation in the brain. For PD management, the administration of pharmacological treatment depends on the motor symptoms experienced by the patients. Non-pharmacological treatment plays a role as adjuvant therapy, while surgical management is indicated in chronic cases. This paper aims to review the etiology, risk factors, protective factors, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, associated conditions, and management of PD.

Abstract
Optimizing idiopathic Parkinson's disease treatment is a challenging, multifaceted and continuous process with direct impact on patients' quality of life. The basic tenet of this task entails tailored therapy, allowing for optimal motor function with the fewest adverse effects. Apomorphine, a dopamine agonist used as rescue therapy for patients with motor fluctuations, with potential positive effects on nonmotor symptoms, is the only antiparkinsonian agent whose capacity to control motor symptoms is comparable to that of levodopa. Subcutaneous administration, either as an intermittent injection or as continuous infusion, appears to be the most effective and tolerable route. This review summarizes the historical background, structure, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications and side effects, compares apomorphine infusion therapy with other treatments, such as oral therapy, deep brain stimulation and continuous enteral infusion of levodopa/carbidopa gel, and gives practical instructions on how to initiate treatment.

Abstract
A series of ring A-modified analogs of nantenine as well as structural variants in ring C were synthesized and evaluated for antagonist activity at 5-HT2A and α1A receptors. Halogenation improves 5-HT2A antagonist potency in molecules containing a C1 methoxyl/C2 methoxyl or C1 methoxyl/C2 hydroxyl moiety. Bromination or iodination (but not chlorination) with the latter moiety also significantly increased α1A antagonist potency. Homologation or contraction of ring C adversely affected antagonist activity at both receptors, implying that a six-membered ring C motif is beneficial for high antagonist potency at both receptors. Molecular docking studies suggest that the improved antagonist activity (by virtue of improved affinity) of C3-halogenated aporphines in this study is attributable to favorable interactions with the C3 halogen and F339 and/or F340.

Abstract
Apomorphine is the most potent dopamine receptor agonist and its symptomatic effectiveness is comparable to levodopa. Subcutaneous apomorphine is rapidly and completely absorbed. Plasma peak concentrations are achieved after 5-15 minutes and onset of clinical effect is within 20 minutes. Apomorphine intermittent subcutaneous injections are effective as rescue therapy for unpredictable off periods in advanced Parkinson disease (PD). More often apomorphine is administered as a subcutaneous infusion which secures the continuous dopaminergic stimulation. The benefit on 'off' periods is consistent across all studies, but dyskinesia improvement is not so obvious. Two infusion therapies (apomorphine and intraduodenal levodopa) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are effective in advanced PD patients with untreatable motor complications. Apomorphine infusions should be considered in patients unable to undergo DBS because of cognitive impairment and neurosurgical contraindications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) deprived of dopaminergic medication to facilitate awake testing during the deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure are at increased risk of neurologic deterioration.. The aim of this survey was to demonstrate the safety of subcutaneous apomorphine treatment for reducing surgery-related neurologic deterioration in patients undergoing DBS surgery for PD. METHODS Ninety-two patients who underwent DBS surgery for PD between 11/2007 and 10/2011 in our department were retrospectively analyzed for this survey. Demographic data, apomorphine dosage, side-effects and need of ICU/IMC stay were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Seventy-two out of 92 patients (78.3%) received apomorphine treatment; main reason for omission of treatment was intolerable nausea (16/92, 17.3%). Apomorphine treatment was well tolerated and the most common side effect was nodular panniculitis. No severe complications were observed. No patient required ICU/IMC stay related to dopaminergic deprivation. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative withdrawal of dopaminergic medication in PD patients leads to an increased risk of neurologic and respiratory deterioration during DBS procedures. These complications can likely be tempered using perioperative subcutaneous apomorphine as a substitute. Our 5-year experience indicates a reduction in postoperative neurologic deterioration and ICU/IMC stay need. We consider perioperative apomorphine safe during DBS surgery for PD.

Abstract
Dyskinesia hampers the quality of life for most Parkinson’s disease patients following several years of therapy. However, the severity of L-Dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) varies between patients, being quite tolerable in late-onset patients. Understanding the pathogenesis of LID has contributed to the development of a set of therapeutic strategies, including the choice, in early stages, of the least pulsatile regimen of dopamine-receptor activation. In cases where LIDs are already disabling, there is only a limited number of options: the optimization of ongoing DOPA-centered treatment, the utilization of glutamate antagonists and the exploration of the benefits of antipsychotic agents. More radical solutions are provided by deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus (or internal pallidus). This approach has proved efficacious in reducing LID, largely because it allows a reduction in dopaminergic daily doses. Stereotactic neurosurgery has fuelled several lines of investigation regarding the crosstalk between the basal ganglia and motor cortex. Here, we will present interesting evidence highlighting the potential for repetitive transcranial stimulation in reducing the occurrence of LID. The future may disclose important new avenues for the treatment of LIDs, given the current development of promising agents that might target different facets of dyskinesia, such as the impairment of striatal plasticity and non-Dopaminergic contributors such as adenosine, nitric oxide and the nucleotide cascade.
