Clinical Feature Parkinson’s disease is a progressive‚ neurodegenerative ailment that affects movement‚ muscle control and balance as well as several other functions. It is part of a group of disorders known asmotor systems disorders. Parkinson’s disease was titled for James Parkinson‚ a general practitioner in London during the 19th century who first designated the symptoms of the disease. Parkinson’s disease is the most common movement ailment and the second most common neurodegenerative disorder

A signs and symptoms of a Parkinson’s disease differ from each individual. At the beginning‚ a sign will be mild and unobserved. Normally‚ a sign starts from one side individual’s body and it stays bad even though when it affect both sides. A tremor is one of the main symptoms‚ it starts to shakes in a hand or arm beside a slow motion and stiffness. An individual may be aware of their backwards and forward of the thumb and forefinger which is known as a pill- rolling tremor. The slowness of the movement

Parkinson’s or PD is a disease that attacks the peripheral nervous system around the age of 50 years old. This devastating disease causes the degeneration of the mind and gets worse with time. It is categorized by the loss of basic mobility‚ making daily life a real challenge. It causes most motor skills to go away entirely and leaves a person with a resting tremor‚ akineisa‚ and muscle stiffness. Parkinson’s is incurable but treatment is available to subdue symptoms. It is genetic and may be caused

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common diseases of the nervous system‚ right behind Alzheimer’s disease. People with Parkinson’s disease have an uncontrollable tremor and have a difficult time maintaining posture. One of the causes for this disease is the damage to the neurons in either the substantia nigra or other brainstem nuclei. These

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common form of neurodegeneration in the elderly population. In PD‚ one’s levels of dopamine are lowered because the nerve cells which make the chemical have either died or lost their usual functioning. Clinically

Parkinson’s Disease goes as far back as the 12th century B.C king Drooling described symptoms of the disease but was not documented until 1817 by James Parkinson. The term parkinsonism[->0] is used for a motor syndrome[->1] whose main symptoms are tremor at rest‚ stiffness‚ slowing of movement and postural instability. Parkinson’s disease causes neuropsychiatric disturbances‚ which include mainly cognition‚ mood and behavior problems‚ and can be as disabling as motor symptoms. Most people with Parkinson’s

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the literature regarding this disease. The paper discusses what Parkinson’s disease is and what the causes and effects are. Furthermore‚ The paper contends that lack of dopamine‚ genetic and environmental factors can lead to Parkinson’s disease and that

to genetic‚ environmental‚ and age-related factors. Genetics factors cause of Parkinson’s disease through a mutation in the genes responsible for dopamine and other vital proteins. Environmental factors are thought to be associated with Parkinson’s in that exposure to certain toxins such as pesticides can play a significant role in the abnormal levels of dopamine produced. Age is also a definitive factor of the disease‚ because people under the age of 60 are rarely diagnosed (Triarhou‚
Premium Dopamine Parkinson's disease Brain
Parkinson’s disease was first founded by an English doctor‚ James Parkinson‚ in 1817. Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that results from the lack or loss of cells in various parts of the brain‚ the main region is called the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra cells produce dopamine‚ a chemical messenger responsible for sending signals within the brain that allow for coordination of movement. The lack of dopamine causes neurons to fire irregularly and out of control
