Raven Press, 1996 This book, now in its fourth edition, is a key resource from which a non-medical reader can obtain critical information on research and treatment. A special highlight of this edition is a new chapter on the genetic aspects of the disease. The authors have also revised and expanded the chapters exploring the concepts of the disease and its symptoms, including a closer look at the Lewy body, which is now central to concepts of the disease. In addition, the fourth edition provides the latest information on drug therapies and explains new terms.

Extractions: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation James Parkinson (1755-1824), while best remembered for the disease state named after him by Charcot, was a man of many talents and interests. Publishing on chemistry, paleontology and other diverse topics, he was, early in his career, a social activist championing the rights of the disenfranchised and poor. His efforts in this area were enough to result in his arrest and appearance before The Privy Council in London on at least one occasion. In collaboration with his son, who was a surgeon, he also offered the first description, in the English language, of a ruptured appendix. His small but famous publication, "Essay on the Shaking Palsy", appeared in 1817, 7 years before his death in 1824. The clinical description of 6 patients was a remarkable masterpiece testifying to his prodigious powers of observation for most of the 6 were never actually examined by Parkinson himself; rather, they were simply observed walking on the streets of London. National Guidelines An Algorithm for the Management of Parkinson's Disease DEFINITION Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease of the elderly. Typically beginning in the 60s or 70s, it is characterized by the unilateral onset of resting tremor in combination with varying degrees of rigidity and bradykinesia.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Parkinson's Disease March, 2000 For as many as one million people living with Parkinson's Disease, everyday activities like walking or standing can become painful, sometimes even impossible. While medications may alleviate some symptoms of the disease, such as tremor, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness, many long-term sufferers are turning to surgery to help regain control of their lives. What is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's disease is both chronic meaning that it persists over a long period of time, and progressive meaning that symptoms grow worse over time. Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the nervous system that occurs most commonly in the middle-aged and elderly (although approximately 10 percent of sufferers are under age 40). It can strike down active, vital people at the peak of their lives, as evidenced by the revelation one year ago by actor Michael J. Fox of ABC-TVs Spin City, that he suffers from Parkinsons. Other well-known sufferers include Attorney General Janet Reno, former Heavyweight Boxing Champ Muhammad Ali, and Pope John Paul. Parkinson's occurs when certain brain cells, or neurons, in an area of the brain known as the substantia nigra die or become impaired. These neurons produce an important chemical known as dopamine a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals between the substantia nigra and the next "messenger center" of the brain, the corpus striatum.

Extractions: About us Investors Media Join us ... Sleep disorders Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disruption of the central nervous system. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disease caused by lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Parkinson's disease is one of several motor system disorders. Parkinson's and related disorders are the result of the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells in the patient, primarily in the so-called black substance, substantia nigra. Dopamine is one of several chemical neurotransmitters responsible for transmitting signals within the brain. Loss of dopamine results in loss of normal nerve cell activity, leaving patients unable to direct or control their movement in a normal manner. The primary symptoms of Parkinson's are tremors in hands, arms, legs, and head; muscle rigidity that leaves the body immovable and the face expressionless; slowness of movement; and impaired balance and coordination. Patients may also have difficulty walking, talking, or completing simple tasks. The disease is both chronic and progressive. There are a few cases of inherited Parkinson's disease. Early symptoms can be subtle and difficult to diagnose. The disease is characterised by tremors, slow movements, stiffness in arms and legs and balance problems. Next to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder.

Extractions: at Mayo Clinic According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, at least 1 million people are believed to suffer from Parkinson's disease, and about 50,000 new cases are reported each year in the United States. These figures are expected to increase as the population ages. Nearly 4,000 patients with Parkinson's disease are treated each year by neurology and neurosurgery specialists in Mayo Clinic's movement disorders programs. Patients receive state-of-the-art treatment and have opportunities to participate in valuable research studies and clinical trials. Read more about movement disorders No specific test can diagnose Parkinson's disease. Diagnosis is usually made based on the patient's history and a comprehensive neurologic examination. Similar symptoms can be caused by certain medications and by other degenerative brain conditions. Getting an accurate diagnosis is key to starting appropriate treatment that may help manage symptoms for years. Mayo Clinic has extensive experience in the evaluation, differential diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Extractions: Topics: Neurological Scan Evaluation PET and Brain Function Metabolic Development of the Brain Alzheimer's Disease ... Trauma Parkinson's disease (idiopathic parkinsonism) is characterized by three major symptoms: rigidity, tremor, and akinesia. Voluntary movements suffer a marked retardation, while muscular strength is well preserved. Speech is often slow and monotonous. Parkinson's Disease is caused by a reduction in dopamine containing nerve cells of the midbrain in the substantia nigra that project to the caudate nucleus (putamen). Once approximately 80% of such cells die, the patient begins to develop symptoms of bradykinesia, immobile facies, stooped posture and resting tremor. Ten to thirty percent of Parkinson's patients also develop dementia. Pathologically there is considerable overlap in the findings of these latter patients with individuals who have pure Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's Disease Staging Stage I: Unilateral Involvement Stage II: Bilateral Involvement but no postural abnormalities Stage III: Bilateral Involvement with mild imbalance Stage IV: Bilateral Involvement with postural involvement Stage V: Severe, full developed disease (restriction to bed/wheelchair)
