Does traumatic brain injury in later life increase risk for Parkinson disease?
Among patients aged ≥55 years presenting to inpatient/ED settings with trauma, TBI is associated with a 44% increased risk of developing PD over 5 to 7 years that is unlikely to be due to confounding or reverse causation.
The GABAergic neurons modulate the antinociceptive effect of N(2)O in opposite directions at supraspinal and spinal levels. The pronociceptive effects of enhancement at the supraspinal GABAergic site predominate in response to systemically administered midazolam.
