    Extractions: This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 202 further research and parallels to Alzheimers? In my previous paper, the basic pathogenesis and neurobiology of Parkinsons Disease was discussed. Parkinsons Disease is recognized as a progressive neurodegenerative condition that is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Parkinsons Disease is characterized by a deficit in dopamine, a neurotransmitter produced in the substantia nigra, that is responsible for maintaining normal motor functioning. This paper will continue the exploration of Parkinsons Disease research, also examining Lewy Bodies, genetic factors, and drawing parallels and possible links to Alzheimers Disease. Lewy Bodies, aggregated eosiphilic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies found in substantia nigra, are a hallmark characteristic of Parkinsons disease identified by pathological studies. As mentioned in my previous paper, Lewy Bodies are not able to be used to diagnose Parkinsons, as they are only observable during an autopsy, but are a fool-proof method of identifying the disease, after the fact. Lewy Bodies are present in dementia and found in some cases of Alzheimers Disease. In Parkinsons, the cells of the substantia nigra die, so that the normal dark brown pigment (hence, the name, nigra) is instead pale. The Lewy Bodies are among the dying nerve cells left in the substantia nigra

    Extractions: WEB SERVICES: BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) Researchers have uncovered new evidence that Parkinson's disease can run in families, according to a study of 772 Icelanders who developed the illness after age 50. Doctors have known for a few years that the form of Parkinson's that strikes earlier in life, as it did with U.S. television star Michael J. Fox, comes from a genetic mutation that makes them prone to the disease.

    Extractions: Can you help with our Familial Parkinson's disease project here? INTRODUCTION This page contains a lot of graphics, so please patient if you are using a modem. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in surgery for Parkinson's disease. This has been largely for 2 reasons: Current stereotactic surgical techniques for Parkinson's disease include: In the current discussion, I will only deal with pallidotomy, but we will be providing more information on the other surgical aspects in the near future. PALLIDOTOMY The history of this operative procedure in Parkinson's diseases is fascinating, in that in 1960 Svennilson and Leksell had noted that in the last 20 of their series of 81 Parkinsonian patients who had had a thermolytic lesion of the globus pallidus , there was a marked relief of tremor and rigidity. In these last 20 cases, the surgeons had altered the area to be lesioned from the anterodorsal to the posteroventral region of the medial globus pallidus (GPm). These results were largely overlooked for the next 2 decades, until: In 1992, Laitinen et al described 38 patients with Parkinson's in whom he had performed a lesion of the posteroventral region of the GPm. 37 patients had a marked improvement in their rigidity and hypokinesia.

40. CNN.com - New Treatment Guidelines For Parkinson's Disease - June 11, 2001
    http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/conditions/06/11/parkinsons.guidelines/index.html
    
    Extractions: CNN (CNN) New recommendations for the treatment of early-stage Parkinson's disease modify a 35-year-old standard and offer improved quality of life for sufferers, researchers say. For almost four decades, doctors have prescribed levodopa first to help alleviate the muscle stiffness and slowed reaction times caused by Parkinson's. But that drug caused patients to experience uncontrollable, jerky movements, a condition known as dyskinesia. After reviewing data from several studies, doctors now recommend the use of dopamine agonists, not levodopa, as the first-line treatment. They treat the stiffness caused by the disease while reducing the risk of developing dyskinesia. "Parkinson's is really two diseases," said William C. Koller, a professor of neurology and one of the authors of the article, which appears in the journal Neurology. "There's the slowness and stiffness that's Parkinson's and there's the dyskinesia that is a complication of long-term levodopa treatment." Dyskinesia also is a side effect of taking dopamine agonists, Koller said, but it is often delayed and is not as severe as it is with levodopa. Other side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache and sleeplessness.
