Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.4K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

2.2K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

25
Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...

Parkinson Disease l: Introduction

28
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It is characterized by motor symptoms such as resting tremors, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. Patients may notice hand tremors at rest, stiffness during movement, or a shuffling gait. In addition to motor features, non-motor symptoms include sleep disturbances, mood and behavioral changes, constipation, and cognitive impairment, all of...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

659
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Area of Science:

  • Global health
  • International development
  • Public health research

Background:

  • Polio cases have decreased by 99% since 1988, signaling near global eradication.
  • 20 million people worldwide live with disabling consequences of polio.
  • Vulnerable populations, including girls and those in poorer communities, were disproportionately affected by polio in developing countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of disabled polio survivors.
  • To highlight public health research, policy, and programming needs.
  • To advocate for a shift in focus from eradication to supporting survivors' long-term needs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review
  • Discussion
  • Field observations

Main Results:

  • Millions disabled by polio, particularly in developing countries, face ongoing challenges.
  • Survivors often lack access to essential medical, rehabilitation, educational, and social support services.
  • The demographic profile of polio survivors has shifted, with a greater proportion being children and young adults from marginalized communities.

Conclusions:

  • Polio eradication efforts must be complemented by sustained support for survivors.
  • Resources and attention should be redirected to address the long-term rehabilitative, medical, educational, and social needs of polio survivors.
  • Ensuring the well-being of polio survivors is essential to completing the commitment to global polio elimination.
