Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder. Uncontrolled movements of the hands, loss of memory, apathy and depression are a few symptoms associated with the disease. Initially, the person might experience neurological changes affecting one side of the body. These unilateral changes are one of the first symptoms of some underlying disease condition.More...
In the human brain, progressive degeneration of the nerve cells in a portion known as ‘Subatantia Nigra’ causes a disorder called ‘Parkinson’s disease’. The neurons in this part of the brain produce a chemical called ‘Dopamine’. This acts as a chemical messenger between two parts of the brain called corpus striatum and subatabtia-nigra. These communications are essential to co-ordinate balanced and smooth muscular movements. Low dopamine levels cause loss of this functioning.More...
Medications For Parkinson Disease
Parkinson’s disease is caused due to decreased stimuli, decreased production or inhibited release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. A decrease in production of this crucial transmitter from the brain leads to development of several physiological and psychological changes in the body. Apathy, depression, hallucinations, uncontrolled movement of hands, jerking reactions, limited or no facial movements are just a few symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease.More...
Parkinson And Stem Cell Treatment
A harmonious blend of science and technology has led to the development and production of stem cells. These scientific marvels have been studied extensively to cure numerous ailments. Treating genetic disorders at the fetal stage and immunizing people who are genetically prone to cancer are just a few applications of stem cell therapy. These cells are being studied to see whether they are effective in preventing the aggravation of Parkinson’s disease in adults. Stem cells have the ability to reproduce into numerous cells of a particular type required for the body when given an optimum environment to grow and multiply.More...
New Advances In Treatment Of Parkinsons Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative progressive disease of the central nervous systems occurring mostly after the age of 50.It is characterized by muscular tremor, slowing of movement, partial facial paralysis, and posture instability. It occurs when cells in one of the movement-control centers of the brain begins to die for unknown reasons. Parkinson’s disease was first noted by British physician, James Parkinson, in the early 1800s.More...
