What is Parkinsons? Parkinsons disease is a progressive neurological condition affecting movements such as walking, talking and writing. Parkinsons has three main symptoms: tremor, stiffness and Bradykinesia (slowness of movement). It affects about one in 500 people; approximately one percent of people over 60 have Parkinsons. With good medical treatment Parkinsons has a limited affect, if any, on life expectancy but it can be disabling. With quality medical care, support and a positive outlook, most people with Parkinsons can lead a productive life for many years after diagnosis. Top The Main Symptoms of Parkinsons Tremor About 70 percent of people with Parkinsons have a tremor and it is slightly less common in younger people with Parkinsons. Tremors usually begin in one hand or arm and are more likely to occur when the part of the body affected is relaxed. They usually decrease or disappear when the affected part is being used and often become more noticeable when a person is anxious or excited. Stiffness Muscular rigidity or stiffness is a common early sign in people with Parkinsons. People may experience problems turning round, getting out of a chair, turning over in bed, or making fine finger movements such as fastening a button, because of rigidity. Some people find their posture becomes stooped, or that their face becomes stiff, making facial expressions more difficult. Stiffness can affect everyday tasks and can sometimes be quite painful. It can lead to deep aching in the arms and legs.

Extractions: Parkinson's Disease Information Home FAQ Trials Resources ... Contact Parkinson's disease is one of a larger group of neurological conditions called motor system disorders. Historians have found evidence of the disease as far back as 5000 B.C. It was first described as "the shaking palsy" in 1817 by British doctor James Parkinson. Because of Parkinson's early work in identifying symptoms, the disease came to bear his name. In the normal brain, some nerve cells produce the chemical dopamine, which transmits signals within the brain to produce smooth movement of muscles. In Parkinson's patients, 80 percent or more of these dopamine-producing cells are damaged, dead, or otherwise degenerated. This causes the nerve cells to fire wildly, leaving patients unable to control their movements. Symptoms usually show up in one or more of four ways: Though full-blown Parkinson's can be crippling or disabling, experts say early symptoms of the disease may be so subtle and gradual that patients sometimes ignore them or attribute them to the effects of aging. At first, patients may feel overly tired, "down in the dumps," or a little shaky. Their speech may become soft and they may become irritable for no reason. Movements may be stiff, unsteady, or unusually slow.

Extractions: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by an insidious onset with slowing of emotional and voluntary movement, muscular rigidity, postural abnormality and tremor. Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson in a paper entitled "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy" photos courtesy of the National Library of Medicine ). It is a common neurological disorder with a prevalence of 1-2 per 1000 overall. However the incidence rises after the age of 50, such that 1-2% of the elderly in the UK are affected. The disease is due to the striatal deficiency of dopamine following neuronal degeneration within the substantia nigra. Diagnosis The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is generally a clinical one (see CLINICAL FEATURES listed below), however modern imaging techniques may have a role in the future in differentiating different Parkinsonian syndromes or in the pre-clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. For example, by using fluoro-dopa PET imaging , one can clearly see in the Parkinsonian patient the markedly impaired fluoro-dopa uptake in the region of the caudate and putamen.
CNN - Most Cases Of Parkinson's Disease Not Inherited, Study Says - January 26,
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9901/26/parkinsons.hereditary.01/index.html

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: SUNNYVALE, California (CNN) A new study suggests most cases of Parkinson's disease are not inherited, therefore suggesting environmental causes. The study followed almost 20,000 white male twins enrolled in the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council World War II Veteran Twins Registry. Researchers found no evidence to suggest the disease is genetically linked in most cases. However, genetics do appear to be important when the disease begins before age 50. Only about 15 percent of all Parkinson's cases are in younger people. Researchers say the study addresses a 150-year-old debate regarding whether Parkinson's disease is inherited. "This is a very important study, which has the power to answer the question of heredity in Parkinson's disease," said Dr. Jorges Juncos of Emory University School of Medicine. "Therefore, this study suggests environment plays a major role in the development of Parkinson's."
Welcome To Sutter Gamma Knife
Sacramento. Provides noninvasive, stereotactic radiosurgery treatment for tumors, neuromas, arteriovenous malformations, parkinsons disease and other brain disorders.
http://suttergammaknife.org

Extractions: Gamma Knife technology allows for surgery without a scalpel or incision. With extreme precision, physicians are able to operate on the brain or skull with minimal risk of surgical complication and with less damage to the surrounding tissue. Also, because surgical incision is not required, the risks usually involved with brain surgery, such as hemorrhage or infection are nearly eliminated. While individual patient outcomes may vary, patients may resume their normal lifestyle, the very next day. Gamma knife is a unique and advanced treatment superior to the traditional procedure of brain surgery in selected neurological disorders. MORE
