Two studies by US and Korean scientists focused on a mutant protein implicated in inherited Parkinson's. In tests on fruit flies, they found it disabled energy-producing cell structures called mitochondria, damaging cells controlling movement. The research is published online by the journal Nature.

Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health found men who exercised regularly and vigorously early in their adult life had a lower risk. Parkinson's is a progressive nervous disease occurring generally after age 50. It causes muscular tremors, rigidity, and slowing of movement. Details of the study are published in the journal Neurology.

Parkinson's disease (PD or, simply, Parkinson's) is the most common form of parkinsonism, a group of motor system disorders. It is a slowly progressing, degenerative disease that is usually associated with the following symptoms, all of which result from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells: tremor or trembling of the arms, jaw, legs, and face stiffness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk bradykinesia slowness of movement postural instability, or impaired balance and coordination Facts about Parkinson's disease: It is incorrectly believed that Parkinson's disease disappeared after the introduction of levodopa (L-dopa) in the 1960s. In fact, about 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year, with more than half a million Americans affected at any one time. And more people suffer from Parkinson's disease than multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis combined. What are causes of Parkinson's disease (PD)?

In order to determine the clinical utility of DBS in psychiatric disorders, the authors evaluated therapeutic studies from 1980 to 2009. They found improvement rates of between 35% and 70% in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and Tourette syndrome. The rate of side effects associated with DBS was usually low and mostly reversible by modulating the stimulation parameters.

Share Parkinson's Disease: Overview Parkinson's disease (paralysis agitans, shaking palsy) was first described in 1817. It is now increasingly clear not only what causes Parkinson's , but also how it can be prevented and its relentless progress slowed down. With no known cause, Parkinson's disease affects about 1% of the population over the age of 60 years in the United States. It is more common among men than women and also seems to be more widespread in northern countries. The incidence of the disease increases with age although aging itself is not believed to be a causative factor. Parkinson's disease is rarely inherited and fewer than 1% of all cases are thought to have a genetic component. Environmental and Dietary Factors. Parkinson-like symptoms can occur as a result of head injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning or poisoning by pharmaceutical or other drugs. Certain diuretics (reserpine), antipsychotics (chlorpromazine), and heart drugs (verapamil) have all been implicated in causing or worsening

Next Definition Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain that leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking , movement, and coordination. Alternative Names Paralysis agitans; Shaking palsy Causes, incidence, and risk factors Parkinson's disease was first described in England in 1817 by Dr. James Parkinson. The disease affects approximately 2 of every 1,000 people and most often develops after age 50. It is one of the most common neurologic disorders of the elderly. Sometimes Parkinson's disease occurs in younger adults, but is rarely seen in children. It affects both men and women. In some cases, Parkinson's disease occurs within families, especially when it affects young people. Most of the cases that occur at an older age have no known cause. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement are gradually destroyed. The damage gets worse with time. The exact reason that the cells of the brain waste away is unknown. The disorder may affect one or both sides of the body, with varying degrees of loss of function. Nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to help send signals back and forth. Damage in the area of the brain that controls muscle movement causes a decrease in dopamine production. Too little dopamine disturbs the balance between nerve-signalling substances (transmitters). Without dopamine, the nerve cells cannot properly send messages. This results in the loss of muscle function.

Home Health Topics Health Reports Learning Centers ... Parkinson's Disease Parkinson’s Disease Overview Share: Send to a Friend Print Parkinson’s Disease Overview Overview of Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder. Tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), poor balance, and difficulty walking (called parkinsonian gait) are characteristic primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Parkinson's Disease (Free Handout) Article Continues Below Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is the most common form of parkinsonism , which is a group of movement disorders that have similar features and symptoms. Parkinson's disease also is called idiopathic Parkinson's because the cause for the condition is unknown. In the other forms of parkinsonism, a cause is known or suspected. Parkinson's results from the degeneration of nuclei in a number of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brainstem. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates motor neurons, which are nerve cells that control the muscles. When dopamine production is depleted, the motor system nerves are unable to control movement and coordination. Parkinson's disease patients have lost 80% or more of their dopamine-producing cells by the time symptoms appear. In searching for a cause for Parkinson's disease, most of the attention has focused on areas of the brain called the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus Physician-developed and -monitored.
