1. Automating levodopa dosing schedules for Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. LÄS MER
2. New Approaches for Levodopa Treatment in Parkinson’s Disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic cells, which results in dopamine depletion. Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic treatment, however, disease progression along with the unfavorable pharmacokinetics of levodopa makes the disease increasingly difficult to treat with time.

3. Intestinal transport of levodopa : Implications for the therapy of Parkinson's disease
Sammanfattning : Levodopa has been the basic treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease for the last 30 years. However, with time nearly all patients develop fluctuations in motor performance correlated to levodopa plasma concentrations. LÄS MER
4. Optimizing levodopa dosing routines for Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis in the field of microdata analysis aims to introduce dose optimizing algorithms for the pharmacological management of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a neurodegenerative disease that mostly affects the motor functions of the patients and it is characterized as a movement disorder. LÄS MER
5. Pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's Disease - Observations and Innovations
Sammanfattning : Pharmacotherapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is based on levodopa, the most effective dopaminergic drug. The development of motor complications constitutes the major challenge for new or refined therapies. LÄS MER
