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)

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.

Search CNN Networks SPECIALS Quick News Almanac Video Vault News Quiz Cloned animal cells may help treat Parkinson's disease This rat received cloned bovine brain cells April 27, 1998 Web posted at: 11:54 p.m. EDT (0354 GMT) From CNN Medical Correspondent Rhonda Rowland ATLANTA (CNN) Researchers are using cloned animal cells in an attempt to ease the tremors and erratic movements caused by Parkinson's disease. 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?

It is just that Cardio patients need a lot of extra attention. Available from: www.PowerHealth.org Dynamic Multi Plus: This is a top-of-the-line multiple vitamin and mineral supplementation. 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.

Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 23:52:34 +0700 SSRIs can cause depletion of dopamine. In Parkinson's Disease it is better to use dopaminergic antidepressants: MAOIs, bupropion, and amineptine. Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 10:42:16 -0800 (PST) From: ferrell@cmgm.stanford.edu (James Ferrell) Clinically it is clear that SSRIs can cause akathisia, jaw clenching, and worsening of Parkinson's Disease (extrapyramidal symptoms like those that dopamine antagonists cause), as well as neuroendocrine symptoms like those of hyperprolactinemia (which dopamine antagonists also cause). One plausible mechanism for this is that SSRIs cause reversible depletion of dopamine stores. There may be other contributing mechanisms as well.
