Genetic and Environmental Factors Contributing to Parkinson's Disease: A Case-Control Study in the Cypriot Population.

abstract：:With the advent of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), the ability to identify cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has become increasingly commonplace. Nevertheless, the clinical significance of post-traumatic CMBs remains controversial partly because it is unclear whether...
