PARKINSON’S DISEASE Parkinson’s is a neurological disease that carries an onset of chronic and progressive movement disorder. Meaning the results produced by Parkinson’s will continue and worsen throughout time. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (2014) have verified that, there are no known causes of Parkinson’s disease, researchers and scientists have accumulated statistics that leads to genetics and environmental factors that affect Parkinson’s disease. Such as,…

Mackenzie Johnson BIO 220-6 October 14, 2015 Parkinson’s Disease The topic that has been chosen for my research paper is Idiopathic Parkinsonism or Parkinson’s disease (PD). Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that typically will progress slowly (3). It affects the nervous system of mostly elderly people and there is no cure for it. The major symptoms of PD include slowed movement, muscle stiffness, and tremors. “On average, about 1 to 2 out of 1,000 people have Parkinson’s”…

3. Parkinson's disease medications. These medications, such as carbidopa-levodopa (Sinemet) can help lessen Parkinson symptoms, such as stiff muscles and slow movement. Other People with the Condition: 1. Ronald Regan-40th President of the United States of America 2. Charles Bronson-Actor Case Study of Individual:…

An example of the limitation is deep brain stimulation for patients with Parkinson’s resulting a lack of controlled data, mismatch evidence, insufficient medication effect in the clinical practice. Another instance of the limitation in the EBM are the patients with non-motor symptoms of PD. Some areas such as constipation, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, sexual dysfunction urinary incontinence have not been thoroughly discussed in the research for symptoms of PD patients which can be considered as…

• The use of Levodopa or Carbidopa can improve Motor-Neuron function with LBD patients. • SSRIs are a part of treatment to get cure from mental depression for LBD patients. • Melatonin for LBD patients is to treat sleep disorders. • Donepezil can reduce the problem of confusion with…

treatment. Levadopa is the main drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease. It is effective at increasing dopamine levels in the brain, resulting in less tremors (Ford-Martin, Alic, & Cloos, 2009). There are many other drugs to treat symptoms such as carbidopa, benzaseride, and selegiline, just to name a few (Gulli & Davidson, 2011). However, “although many drugs may relieve at least some symptoms of PD [Parkinson’s disease], their effectiveness varies with the patient and the progression of the…

This essay is about Parkinson’s disease and dementia. My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and within a year developed dementia that sometimes goes along with Parkinson’s. I was part of his “Care Team”. Although he lived with the disease for six years and I saw the way it progressed and how it affected him, my family never really knew why or how it was happening. The following information will discuss the reasons for Parkinson’s disease and how the disease progresses. Parkinson’s…

Some people may never understand or know what it feels like to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but it is important to note what it is, how it affects an individual, what the treatment options are, and how individuals cope with this disease. Parkinson’s Disease is a disease involving the death of brain cells called neurons in which causes the movements of the body to become uncontrollable. In this paper, Parkinson’s disease, its symptoms, secondary factors, population affected, causes,…

bradykinesia which is the slowness of movement and rigidity movement. Levodopa is a dopamine replacement therapy drug which is usually taken orally and by itself, however, it can be in combination with another type of drug called Carbidopa (Drugs, 2010). However, Carbidopa can not be taken alone as it only prevents the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream so that more levodopa can enter the brain and will have little to no effect by itself for people with…
