Morris, Department of Neurology, Westmead Hospital, Westmead, New South Wales See list of relevant Patient Support Organisations. See also Parkinson's disease: a personal experience. Index words: amantadine, dopamine, entacapone, levodopa, selegiline. (Aust Prescr 2001;24:92-5) SYNOPSIS Levodopa is the most effective drug available for treating the motor symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. It is usually combined with a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor. Early treatment with dopamine agonists can reduce the risk of developing dyskinesia. Dopamine agonists and catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors can significantly reduce motor fluctuations. Amantadine reduces the severity of dyskinesia in some patients. No treatment has been proven to delay disease progression. Introduction Motor dysfunction in idiopathic Parkinson's disease is caused predominantly by degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. Symptomatic treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease is therefore aimed at restoring dopaminergic stimulation of the striatal neurons which are involved in controlling movement. These striatal neurons are preserved in idiopathic Parkinson's disease, but degenerate in the atypical parkinsonian syndromes, which explains their variable and usually poor response to therapy.

Abstracts/Annual Meeting Publications Full size image available below Parkinson's and Dopamine The discovery that the lack of the chemical, dopamine, is associated with the debilitating ailment, Parkinson's disease, encouraged researchers to investigate ways to increase levels of the molecules. In addition, researchers have been developing new drugs that act on dopamine receptors. These receptors are like locks on cells where dopamine acts as a key to carry out certain actions. As the research on dopamine and its receptors advances scientists are developing new therapeutic approaches that will help people with Parkinson's disease experience a better quality of life. Your right hand is shaking. Maybe you need to relax and stop holding that pencil so tightly. Perhaps two cups of coffee overdid it. Another possibility? Parkinson's disease (PD). Approximately one million Americans have this neurological disorder and more than 50,000 new patients are diagnosed each year. From minor hand tremors, symptoms increase and within a few years include a lack of facial expressions, slowness of movement, a weak voice, shuffling steps, muscle stiffness and problems with balance. Eventually, a patient may experience severe immobility and intellectual decline. During the 1950s and 1960s scientists discovered that PD is associated with a loss of dopamine in the brain. Now research on this chemical is leading to treatments that reduce symptoms of people with PD.

What drug therapies are currently used to treat Parkinson's disease? ... Are there surgical therapies currently used to treat Parkinson's disease? What is Parkinson's disease? Parkinson's disease, a movement disorder, is a progressive and degenerative neurological disease with four primary symptoms: rigidity (stiffness or inflexibility of the limbs and joints), bradykinesia/akinesia (slowness of movement/absence of movement), tremor (involuntary, regular, rhythmic shaking of a limb, the head, the mouth, the tongue, or the entire body), and postural instability ( poor balance and coordination). Parkinson's disease arises when a small part of the brain called the substantia nigra, or "black substance," degenerates. Neurons (brain cells) in the substantia nigra die, depriving the brain of the chemical dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that enables communication among the brain cells involved in the control of movements. The reduced level of dopamine leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Trauma Parkinson's Disease 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)

News by Topic The PINK1 protein is localized to mitochondria (yellow) in cultured cells. Image courtesy Science , codes for a protein found in mitochondria, the energy workhorses of the cell. Science The finding suggests that the mutations may disrupt mitochondria, tiny organelles that produce most of the energy for the cell, thereby contributing to at least some forms of the disease. Some studies have suggested that toxins and other stresses on cells damage mitochondria and may lead to the destruction of neurons that produce the brain chemical dopamine. It is the loss of dopamine in certain regions of the brain that causes most of the debilitating effects of this disease, including tremors, rigidity, and loss of balance and muscle coordination. The new finding was surprising, because the newly identified gene is of a type known as a kinase. Genes in this family are thought to play a role in many cancers. Valente, E.M. et al.

Researchers at the University of Colorado transplanted cloned bovine brain cells into the brains of rats. The cloned cells were effective in treating the symptoms of Parkinson's in the rats. "What we found was that the bovine fetal dopamine cells were just as good as bovine embryo cells from an animal that was not cloned," said Dr. Curt Freed of the University of Colorado. By using the cloned cells, the scientists hope to replace the brain's dwindling supply of dopamine-producing cells to ease tremors. Cloning often raises fears, but researchers say there's a big difference between cloning brain cells and cloning humans. Cloning cure?

High quality multi-vitamin / mineral formulas are needed to add the necessary "co-factors" needed for enzymatic pathways. Organic chemistry studies (a requirement for medical school students), demonstrates that all enzymatic, energy, and virtually all biological pathways in the human body, need many nutrients, or co-factors, to properly complete each pathway. Shortages of needed nutrients results in dysfunction of the organs for which those pathways could not be completed properly.
