It is caused by the impairment or death of certain neurones in the part of the brain known as the substantia nigra. (Medline Plus National Library of Medicine) Parkinson's Disease usually affects people over the age of 50 and early symptoms are subtle and occur gradually. In some people the disease progresses more quickly than in others. (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) While the condition usually develops after the age of 65, 15% of those diagnosed are under 50. (National Parkinson Foundation) Although Parkinson's Disease isn't fatal, it progresses with time and the average life expectancy of a patient is generally lower than for people without the disease. In the late stages of the disease, complications may occur such as choking, pheumonia, and falls that could lead to death.

Diseases Parkinson's Disease The environment and Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease is a neuromuscular breakdown resulting in the body losing control of the muscles. It begins with slight tremors and eventually progresses to vital functions over a period of time. In the U.S. alone, 500,000 people suffer with the condition with thousands more diagnosed every year. The most debilitating aspect of the disease is the loss of the brain chemical dopamine, which leaves nerve cells unable to direct or control muscle movements in a normal way. Although there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, the drug L-dopa successfully replaces dopamine and replenishes the brain's dwindling supply while delaying debilitating symptoms. Parkinson's disease has been receiving a lot of attention lately due to studies showing the link between Parkinson's disease and pesticide use Another suspected chemical link is seen in "Welder's Disease"

Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome What is Parkinson's Disease? Increase size of text: A A A About Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects over one million Americans. In PD certain brain cells deteriorate for reasons not yet known. These cells produce a substance called dopamine, which helps control muscle activity. PD is often characterized by tremors, stiffness in limbs and joints, speech difficulties, and difficulty initiating physical movement. Late in the course of the disease, some patients develop Alzheimer's or some other dementia. Conversely, some Alzheimer patients develop symptoms of Parkinson's. Medications such as Levodopa, which converts to dopamine inside the brain, and deprenyl, which prevents degeneration of dopamine-containing brain cells, are used to improve diminished or reduced motor symptoms in PD patients but do not correct the mental changes that occur.

CONTACT entire Web this site Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders, which are the result of the loss of dopamine -producing brain cells. The four primary symptoms of PD are: Tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face Rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs and trunk Bradykinesia, or slowness of movement Postural instability, or impaired balance and coordination. As these symptoms become more pronounced, patients may have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. Parkinson's disease usually affects people over the age of 50. Early symptoms of Parkinson's disease are subtle and occur gradually. In some people the disease progresses more quickly than in others. As the disease progresses, the shaking, or tremor, which affects the majority of Parkinson's disease patients may begin to interfere with daily activities. Other symptoms may include: Depression and other emotional changes Difficulty in swallowing, chewing, and speaking

More Information on Parkinson's Disease Common Misspellings: Parkinsons Disease, Parkinson Disease Introduction Parkinson's disease may be one of the most baffling and complex of the neurological disorders. 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. 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 —

Parkinson's Disease What is Parkinsonism? While experts agree symptoms are due to a deficiency of the brain chemical, dopamine, they are uncertain as to why the nerve cells containing dopamine die. Parkinson's disease is not contagious. Parkinson's disease affects both men and women across all ethnic lines. The disease occurs in approximately two out of 100 people over the age of 55. An estimated 1,500,000 people in the United State are afflicted with this disease. The Symptoms and Appearance Slowness of movement This is the most disabling symptom. Initially, it often begins in one arm with a loss of manual dexterity. The slowness makes it difficult to get out of a chair or turn in bed. Fine movements such as buttoning clothing and using a fork or knife may become difficult. Handwriting may become cramped and small. Later, the person appears to be in slow motion and if not treated may become virtually frozen like a statue. Because of the enormous energy it takes to overcome slowness, the person with Parkinson's disease often complains of being "weak" although there is not true muscular weakness. Tremor Tremor or shaking occurs in about two-thirds of people with Parkinsonism and is often the most visible and obvious sign of the disease. While the Parkinson tremor usually affects the hands and feet it sometimes involves the lips, tongue, and jaw. The tremor is more visible while at rest or while walking and will usually stop during movement of the hand.

Nutritional supplements and Parkinson's Disease. Below is an overview of Parkinson's Disease, followed by summaries of a selection of papers concerned mainly with free radical damage and the possible role of anti-oxidants in this disease. Although it is thought that free radical damage contributes to the symptoms of Parkinson's, there isn't any clear evidence that anti-oxidant treatment helps. This may be because the main area of damage is the substantia nigra which is within the brain and probably inaccessible to most anti-oxidant vitamins. One anti-oxidant preparation which can get into the brain, and has been used to treat Alzheimers disease with some success, is Ginkgo biloba. My opinion is that research on the effect of Ginkgo biloba on Parkinson's would be worthwhile, but, as yet none has been published. Overview of Parkinson's Disease.

Symptoms ... Sources What causes Parkinson's disease? Parkinson's disease is caused by the loss of brain cells that produce a chemical called dopamine, resulting in low levels of the chemical in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical messenger, or 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 movement. The level of dopamine in the brain is linked with the levels of other chemicals, including one called acetylcholine. Low levels of dopamine and changes in other chemicals, including acetylcholine, cause the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Information on Parkinson's Disease Description Parkinson's disease is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the extrapyramidal system characterized by a combination of tremor at rest, rigidity, stiffness and bradykinesia. Shuffling gait and en bloc turning are key signs. Postural hypotension and constipation are also common symptoms. The diagnosis requires therapeutic response to levodopa which implies normal striatal neurons. This is the only neurodegenerative disease which is treatable long term. Causes The specific cause of ParkinsonÕs disease is unknown. There is an increased loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra with rate of loss 1% per year in patients with Parkinson's versus 0.5% in normal aging. ParkinsonÕs disease is most likely not genetic. It may be toxic or infectious. Exposure to the toxic substance is MPTP (1-methyl-4 phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine) is known to cause ParkinsonÕs disease. Pesticide exposure is also implicated. Other non-dopaminergic neurons can also be effected. Free radical damage has also been implicated as a possible cause of neuronal cell death in Parkinson's disease. It is theorized that an environmental toxin, perhaps in genetically susceptible patients, may cause free radical formation that destroys cells in the substantia nigra.
