Combined IV-intra-arterial thrombolysis: a color-coded duplex pilot study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Over 50% of persons with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) will develop Parkinson disease (PD) or dementia. At present, there is no way to predict who will develop disease. Since polysomnography is performed in all patients with idiopathic RBD at diagnosis, there is an opportunity to analyze if ba...
