Observational StudyFrequency and profile of Parkinson's disease prodromi in patients with malignant melanoma.
The results of register studies suggest an association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and melanoma. We studied the frequency and profile of early markers of PD in patients with malignant melanoma. ⋯ History of melanoma was associated with increased prevalence of prodromal markers of PD. Their predictive value needs to be established in long-term investigations. The similarity of serum iron characteristics found in patients with melanoma and PD deserves further research.

Time to recanalisation in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis under anticoagulation therapy.
Few studies have investigated the rates of recanalisation after cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Our objective was to investigate the recanalisation rate and to identify predictors of recanalisation in patients with CVT. ⋯ We found that recanalisation occurs over time, until month 11. Complete recanalisation may influence functional outcome.
