Parkinson's Disease: Overview

857
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Palliative Care
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Neurological surgeons face a higher mortality rate than many other medical specialists.
  • The concept of a
  • good death
  • is increasingly recognized as crucial in patient care.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted end-of-life care discussions and practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on the concept of a
  • good death
  • ,
  • To extrapolate findings to the field of neurological practice.
  • To discuss evolving approaches to end-of-life care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review on
  • good death
  • ,
  • Retrospective analysis of personal clinical experience over 40 years, encompassing approximately 2,500 deaths.
  • Consideration of socioeconomic diversity and technological access in end-of-life care.

Main Results:

  • The author reflects on whether proactive measures for a good quality of death were adequately implemented alongside a focus on quality of life.
  • Observations suggest a need for a broader perspective on patient care that includes end-of-life considerations.

Conclusions:

  • Ensuring a
  • good death
  • ,
  • is an integral component of neurological practice.
  • Lessons learned from diverse patient populations and healthcare settings underscore the importance of addressing end-of-life care.
  • Neurologists should actively incorporate end-of-life care principles into their practice.
