Climbing a summit or hiking down a valley / Parkinson's research on new paths

/0 comments/in , , /from

In every conversation I have about Parkinson's - and believe me, I've had many such conversations - the sentence "Every Parkinson's is different" comes up at least once. That's right, the symptoms are different in all patients and the course develops very individual.

What many do not know, however, is that research now assumes that Parkinson's is not just a single disease. Rather, we are dealing with a variety of neurological disorders crammed under one Parkinson's umbrella. Welcome to the Parkinson's party!

atypical parkinsonian syndromes

But this chapter is about the so-called

• Atypical Parkinson's syndromes (e.g. Lewy body dementia, MSA = multiple system atrophy, CBD = corticobasal degeneration, PSP = progressive supranuclear palsy)
• Parkinson's symptoms as side effects of medication
• Diseases triggered by metabolic disorders (eg Wilson's disease).
• by arteriosclerosis and many small strokes or
• repeated head injuries (Muhammad Ali!)

The diseases that are triggered are of a completely different nature

Parkinson's Syndrome Anatomy

Where does Idiopathic Parkinson's Syndrome occur?
Today we "crack the nut" and take a look inside. As everyone knows, the brain "surface" is actually like a walnut. We have to accommodate so many nerve cells that this is only possible if the many
Brain convolutions lead to an increase in surface area. We'll go through the entire anatomy from top to bottom.

Overview All Parkinson's Medicines

/in , /from

when I read some posts in which I read about the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of one or the other drug, I get the impression: a bit of a system and
method would be very useful here. It's sometimes very crisscross - and sometimes brimstone butterflies are compared to night owls.

So below - if I haven't overlooked anything - the complete and absolutely ordered presentation of all active ingredients. Many of these drugs are marketed by their active ingredient names (generic
name) also distributed. For others, extra artificial names are created. I hope that the list below also contains all of these artificial names, with the ones in Austria and the
Switzerland may not have all the usual sales names with me. So today I just wrote the overview – combined with a homework assignment:

Mrs. Prof. Dr. Brit Mollenhauer on the current state of research:

The research focuses on alpha-synuclein, whose pathological aggregation in the nerve cells due to protein misfolding has been identified as the main cause of Parkinson's. Three strategies are being examined here: inhibiting the build-up, promoting the breakdown and preventing the transfer to the neighboring cells, so to speak their contagion.

neuro workshop

/0 comments/in , /from

Scientific studies show in particular the high effectiveness of physical training on the course of disease and symptoms of Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and polyneuropathy. Although the knowledge of the unique effects of the polypille movement is known to over 75% of those affected, many do not know where and how to start or are afraid of doing something wrong. Here I would like to support and accompany with the neuro-workshop, including the whole person. What that means in detail, I would like to report on in this column with articles, podcasts or videos and encourage you to get involved. dr Mareike Schwed, June 2022
