Glossary General Info about Parkinson's Disease It was first described by James Parkinson in England in 1817. The disease most often develops after age 50. It affects both men and women and is one of the most common neurologic disorders of the elderly. The patient can [rarely] form any recollection of the precise period of its commencement. The first symptoms perceived are, a slight sense of weakness, with a proneness to trembling in some particular part; sometimes in the head, but most commonly in one of the hands and arms. The propensity to lean forward becomes invincible. As the debility increases and the influence of the will over the muscles fades away, the tremulous agitation becomes more vehement.

Extractions: HealthDay Reporter SUNDAY, July 4 (HealthDayNews) A drug approved in April by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration brings yet another source of relief to those who suffer from the debilitating malady known as Parkinson's disease. The FDA granted approval to the drug Apokyn (apomorphine), made by Bertek Pharmaceuticals, which treats periods of immobility that affect some people with Parkinson's disease. During these "off-period" episodes, medically known as "hypomobility," some people on standard anti-Parkinson's drugs can lose the ability to speak, rise from a chair, or walk. These episodes tend to occur as the drugs begin to wear off between dosing cycles. The debilitating condition affects about 10 percent of the patients who take standard Parkinson's therapies. Apokyn must be taken with another medication to counter its nasty side effects, which include severe nausea and vomiting, the FDA said. The drug's labeling also includes specific warnings about low blood pressure, fainting, hallucinations and excessive sleepiness.

The first article was an overview of the condition ( PJ , February 26, pp333-337 The treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) was revolutionised by the introduction of levodopa in 1967. In the relatively short period of time that has followed, the limitations of levodopa have been recognised and an increasing number of alternative drugs have been developed in an effort to circumvent these shortcomings. Furthermore, the "therapeutic wheel" has almost turned a full circle, as neurosurgical approaches, which were largely abandoned after levodopa treatment became available, are being re-evaluated for their potential role in disease management. This review of the treatment of PD primarily considers currently available drugs. These are symptomatic therapies, since no agent has yet been shown beyond reasonable doubt to have disease modifying, or "neuroprotectective", properties. Finally, neurosurgical treatments and a number of potential future therapies for PD will be briefly reviewed.

Parkinsons disease is a condition affecting the nervous system. It causes muscle tremor, stiffness and slowness of movement that becomes progressively worse over time. The condition was first described by Dr James Parkinson in 1817. It affects approximately one in 100 people over 65 years old, and one in 10 people over 80. The symptoms of Parkinsons disease often begin around the age of 55. In Parkinsons disease, production of a substance called dopamine in the brain is reduced. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in passing messages within the brain and from the brain to the muscles. The part of the brain affected is called the substantia nigra, which co-ordinates muscle movement. No one knows exactly what causes Parkinson's disease, but studies with identical twins suggest that genetic factors play a part. Also, some patients with generalised brain disease get Parkinson-like symptoms, which suggests that earlier damage to the brain might have a role in causing the disease. Parkinsons disease is not contagious.
