Extractions: Can you help with our Familial Parkinson's disease project here? INTRODUCTION This page contains a lot of graphics, so please patient if you are using a modem. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in surgery for Parkinson's disease. This has been largely for 2 reasons: Current stereotactic surgical techniques for Parkinson's disease include: In the current discussion, I will only deal with pallidotomy, but we will be providing more information on the other surgical aspects in the near future. PALLIDOTOMY The history of this operative procedure in Parkinson's diseases is fascinating, in that in 1960 Svennilson and Leksell had noted that in the last 20 of their series of 81 Parkinsonian patients who had had a thermolytic lesion of the globus pallidus , there was a marked relief of tremor and rigidity. In these last 20 cases, the surgeons had altered the area to be lesioned from the anterodorsal to the posteroventral region of the medial globus pallidus (GPm). These results were largely overlooked for the next 2 decades, until: In 1992, Laitinen et al described 38 patients with Parkinson's in whom he had performed a lesion of the posteroventral region of the GPm. 37 patients had a marked improvement in their rigidity and hypokinesia.
CNN.com - New Treatment Guidelines For Parkinson's Disease - June 11, 2001
http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/conditions/06/11/parkinsons.guidelines/index.html

Extractions: CNN (CNN) New recommendations for the treatment of early-stage Parkinson's disease modify a 35-year-old standard and offer improved quality of life for sufferers, researchers say. For almost four decades, doctors have prescribed levodopa first to help alleviate the muscle stiffness and slowed reaction times caused by Parkinson's. But that drug caused patients to experience uncontrollable, jerky movements, a condition known as dyskinesia. After reviewing data from several studies, doctors now recommend the use of dopamine agonists, not levodopa, as the first-line treatment. They treat the stiffness caused by the disease while reducing the risk of developing dyskinesia. "Parkinson's is really two diseases," said William C. Koller, a professor of neurology and one of the authors of the article, which appears in the journal Neurology. "There's the slowness and stiffness that's Parkinson's and there's the dyskinesia that is a complication of long-term levodopa treatment." Dyskinesia also is a side effect of taking dopamine agonists, Koller said, but it is often delayed and is not as severe as it is with levodopa. Other side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache and sleeplessness.

Doctors have known for a few years that the form of Parkinson's that strikes earlier in life, as it did with U.S. television star Michael J. Fox, comes from a genetic mutation that makes them prone to the disease.

What is Parkinson's? back to top Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder of the central nervous system that belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders. Parkinson's is the direct result of the loss of cells in a section of the brain called the substantia nigra. Those cells produce dopamine, a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals within the brain. Loss of dopamine causes critical nerve cells in the brain, or neurons, to fire out of control, leaving patients unable to direct or control their movement in a normal manner.

The deficiency of dopamine results in the loss of muscle tone and voluntary muscle control seen in PD. Recent studies indicate that dopamine deficiencies in other areas of the brain and abnormalities of other neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine and serotonin, may also contribute to the disease. Signs and Symptoms Although onset of PD can be rapid, it is generally insidious, with symptoms gradually progressing over a number of years until they interfere with daily activities. The four major symptoms of Parkinson's disease are

Parkinson's Disease: Is Victory In Sight?

http://www.yourhealthbase.com/parkinsons.html

Extractions: Comprehensive review of the latest research into Parkinson's disease with emphasis on prevention and complementary and alternative treatments If research into Parkinson's disease continues at its present pace this dreaded disease may well be fully understood and largely preventable early in the 21st Century. Parkinson's disease ( paralysis agitans , shaking palsy) was first described in 1817. L-dopa, the mainstay of current drug therapy was introduced in 1970 and since then hundreds of research papers have been published on the disease. It is now increasingly clear not only what causes Parkinson's, but also how it can be prevented and its relentless progress slowed down. Incidence and Symptoms Idiopathic (of no known cause) Parkinson's disease affects about one percent of the population over the age of 60 years in the United States. It is more common among men than among women and also seems to be more widespread in northern countries. The incidence of the disease increases with age although aging itself is not believed to be a causative factor. Parkinson's disease is rarely inherited and less than one per cent of all cases are thought to have a genetic component. At this time there is no medical cure for the condition, but drugs that alleviate the symptoms and slow the progress of the disease are available(1-5). The main symptom of Parkinson's disease is a pronounced tremor affecting the extremities notably the hands, chin or lips. The tremor is most evident at rest and disappears with movement. Other characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease are stiffness or slowness of movement, a shuffling walk, stooped posture, and difficulties in performing simple tasks. Memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction are rarely encountered in early stage Parkinson's disease. Depression is, however, a common feature and about 30 per cent of Parkinson's disease victims eventually develop Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia(1-3,6-8).

Medical Encyclopedia Central Nervous System Parkinson's disease was first described in England in 1817 by Dr. James Parkinson. The disease affects approximately 2 of every 1,000 people and most often develops after age 50. Sometimes Parkinson's disease occurs in younger adults and is rarely seen in children. It affects both men and women and is one of the most common neurologic disorders of the elderly. In some cases the disease occurs within families, especially when it affects young people. Most late onset cases have no known cause. The term "parkinsonism" refers to any condition that involves a combination of the types of changes in movement seen in Parkinson's disease, which is the most common cause of these symptoms. Parkinsonism may be caused by other disorders or by external factors (

http://www.umm.edu/parkinsons/facts.html

Extractions: Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center What is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurologic disease. Degenerative means "declining in quality;" thus, the disease increases in severity over time; neurologic refers to the nervous system. Therefore, Parkinson's disease is a disease of the nervous system that gets worse over time. Parkinson's disease is also a chronic, progressive neurologic disease. Chronic means "of long duration" and progressive means "proceeding in steps" or "advancing." Parkinson's disease does not go away and it gradually gets worse. Parkinson's disease is named after the English physician James Parkinson, who first described the illness. Another name for this illness is paralysis agitans, which is simply the Latin translation of "shaking palsy." The names Parkinson's disease, shaking palsy and paralysis agitans all refer to the same illness. What Happens in Parkinson's Disease?

Extractions: Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson, a British physician who published a paper on what he called "the shaking palsy." In this paper, he set forth the major symptoms of the disease that would later bear his name. For the next century and a half, scientists pursued the causes and treatment of the disease. They defined its range of symptoms, distribution among the population, and prospects for cure. In the early 1960s, researchers identified a fundamental brain defect that is a hallmark of the disease: the loss of brain cells that produce a chemical dopamine that helps direct muscle activity. This discovery pointed to the first successful treatment for Parkinson's disease and suggested ways of devising new and even more effective therapies. Society pays an enormous price for Parkinson's disease. According to the National Parkinson Foundation, each patient spends an average of $2,500 a year for medications. After factoring in office visits, Social Security payments, nursing home expenditures, and lost income, the total cost to the Nation is estimated to exceed $5.6 billion annually.
