Contact us Innovita Research Foundation web site is intended for readers who want to find out qualified information about aging in general and in molecular approach. The point is to emphasize main problems of aging, to reduce aging factors, and to answer the perpetual question what is aging and how it is influenced by our genetic composition and lifestyle. Aging is a natural stage of human development. In this period adaptivity of organisms' reduces (onset of age related diseases, general run-out of organism). There are possible opportunities to change it; modify the course of aging in the position that the aging person could live sterling life, and as long as possible could stay highly adaptive and valuable to the society. Our objective is to declare and systematize information about aging elements and linked processes. In this web site large (more than 200 pages, more than 1000 papers are overviewed) aging literature survey is presented. Aging News General - here you can find reviews of the articles and information about aging in general (aging process; factors of aging; ways to slower this process etc.)

Tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), poor balance, and difficulty walking (called parkinsonian gait) are characteristic primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is the most common form of parkinsonism, a group of movement disorders that have similar features and symptoms. Parkinson’s disease is called idiopathic Parkinson’s because the cause is unknown. In the other forms of parkinsonism, a cause is known or suspected. Parkinson’s results from the degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, specifically in the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates motor neurons, those nerve cells that control the muscles. When dopamine production is depleted, the motor system nerves are unable to control movement and coordination. Parkinson's disease patients have lost 80% or more of their dopamine-producing cells by the time symptoms appear.

Parkinson's disease From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease (PD; paralysis agitans) is a neurodegenerative disease of the substantia nigra (an area in the basal ganglia of the brain ). The disease was first discovered and its symptoms documented in An Essay on the Shaking Palsy ) by the British physician Dr. James Parkinson ; the associated biochemical changes in the brain of patients were identified in the . Some genes were identified only recently; others remain unknown. The disease involves a progressive movement disorder of the extrapyramidal system , which controls and adjusts communication between neurons in the brain and muscles in the human body . It also commonly involves depression and disturbances of sensory systems. In the United States , the prevalence of Parkinson's disease is 1 per 625 people, though this increases with age, as indicated by the mean onset of 55 years of age. Symptoms usually begin in the upper extremity, and are usually unilateral (one-sided) or asymmetrical at onset.

In some cases, surgery may be appropriate if the disease doesn't respond to drugs. A therapy called deep brain stimulation (DBS) has now been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In DBS, electrodes are implanted into the brain and connected to a small electrical device called a pulse generator that can be externally programmed. DBS can reduce the need for levodopa and related drugs, which in turn decreases the involuntary movements called dyskinesias that are a common side effect of levodopa. It also helps to alleviate fluctuations of symptoms and to reduce tremors, slowness of movements, and gait problems. DBS requires careful programming of the stimulator device in order to work correctly.

Its cause remains a mystery but research in this area is active, with new and intriguing findings constantly being reported. 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.

97. Parkinson's Disease: New Treatments Slow Onslaught Of Symptoms New therapies can help ease the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson s disease,but treatments currently on the market can neither replace the faulty nerve http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/1998/498_pd.html

Table of Contents Parkinson's Disease: New Treatments Slow Onslaught of Symptoms by John Henkel Joe Dulaney calls himself the Backward Man. Although the tag is lighthearted, the awkward and dangerous dilemma he often faces as his lower limbs simply lock in mid-stride is not. At these moments, his body halts abruptly like a movie freeze-frame, and the only way he can walk is to step backward. "I've gotten to where I can move pretty fast in reverse," says Illinois resident Dulaney, 65, whose finessed footwork helps him cope with one of many symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Nationwide, as many as 1.5 million people suffer from Parkinson's, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. A chronic and progressive disorder, Parkinson's strikes slightly more men than women and more whites than blacks in the United States. Though the disease is found most often in patients over 50, as many as 10 percent of patientsafflicted with the so-called "young-onset" Parkinson'sare under 40. About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's yearly, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which estimates that the total cost of health care for Parkinson's patients will exceed $5.6 billion this year. The Food and Drug Administration has approved nearly a dozen drugs for treating Parkinson's, three of which have been put on the market just in the past year. Also approved in 1997 was a device that is surgically implanted in the brain to lessen the violent shaking experienced by some Parkinson's patients. The 1996 discovery of a gene believed responsible for a form of Parkinson's may result in future innovative treatments. Despite the range of therapies available to ease the disease's debilitating symptoms, however, treatments now on the market can neither replace the faulty nerve cells that cause the disease nor stop Parkinson's from progressing.
