A more efficient enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for measurement of alpha-synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid.
Wieneke J.A. van Geel,W. Farid Abdo,René J. F. Melis,Sonja Williams,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Marcel M. Verbeek +5 more
TL;DR: This assay can be routinely applied for quantification of alpha- Synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid, but not in serum, and this may serve as a possible biomarker for alpha-synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy.

Bart R. Maas,Robin van den Bergh,Sanne W. van den Berg,Eveline Hulstein,Niek Stadhouders,P. P. Jeurissen,N. Vries,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Marten Munneke,Y. Ben-Shlomo,Sirwan K.L. Darweesh +10 more
TL;DR: The PRIME-NL study protocol was adjusted due to the COVID-19 crisis and the need to control for external influences in a dynamic environment. The adjustments included extending the evaluation period, incorporating process measures, introducing a feedback loop, and updating the statistical analysis plan.

Anouke van Rumund,Nico J. Weerkamp,Gerrit Tissingh,Sytse U Zuidema,Raymond T.C.M. Koopmans,Marten Munneke,P.J.E. Poels,Bastiaan R. Bloem +7 more

Walking patterns in Parkinson's disease with and without freezing of gait
W. Nanhoe-Mahabier,A.H. Snijders,Arnaud Delval,Vivian Weerdesteyn,Jaak Duysens,Sebastiaan Overeem,Bastiaan R. Bloem +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that parkinsonian gait-regardless of FOG-is irregular, not only in the legs, but also with respect to interlimb coordination between the arms and legs.
Vestibular and proprioceptive influences on trunk movements during quiet standing.
Corinne G.C. Horlings,U.M. Küng,Flurin Honegger,B.G.M. van Engelen,N. van Alfen,Bastiaan R. Bloem,J.H.J. Allum +6 more
TL;DR: There is relative motion between the upper trunk and pelvis during quiet stance and it is suggested that it may contribute to balance control and be an integral part of movement modes used to control quiet stance.
