Short bits of news involving Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a progressive degenerative disorder
of the central nervous system. The disease can usually be
diagnosed based on the history and physical findings.

The exact role of oxidative stress in people with
Parkinson's disease still is speculative. Likewise,
additional clinical research is needed to establish whether
various medications actually can provide neuroprotection and
delay the progression of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders. The four primary symptoms are tremor or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia or slowness of movement; and postural instability or impaired balance and coordination.

Oxidative stress resulting from overproduction of free
radicals, and possibly also from defects in antioxidant defence
mechanisms, is widely believed to be the cause of neuronal death
in PD.

Successes using alternative medicine for Parkinson's
disease is largely anecdotal or unproven. Healing via improved
nutrition is sometimes considered "alternative"
medicine when it should be considered one of the more basic
preferred ways to heal.

Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder in which the reflexes that
control chewing, swallowing and guiding food and water safely and
efficiently from the mouth to the stomach become disrupted.
http://www.pspinformation.com/disease/parkinsons/dysphagia-nutritionalconcerns.shtml
Strokes and brain injuries account for the majority of
swallowing problems, including impaired tongue movement and
muscle weakness in the throat, esophagus, and face. Losing the
ability to swallow normally can increase the risks of
malnutrition and dehydration, and choking on food or vomit in the
airway can lead to potentially fatal aspiration pneumonia.

http://www.pspinformation.com/disease/parkinsons/parkinsonsism.shtml

illness.
