Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

353
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...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview01:15

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

671
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

21
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment01:20

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

1.8K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment01:22

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

247
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Palliative Medicine

    Background:

    • Neurodegenerative movement disorders significantly impact patient quality of life.
    • Caregiver burden is a major concern in managing these chronic conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the role of palliative care in managing life-limiting neurodegenerative movement disorders.
    • To highlight the benefits of palliative care for patients and caregivers.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on palliative care interventions.
    • Analysis of studies on quality of life and symptom management.
    • Examination of communication strategies in serious illness.

    Main Results:

    • Palliative care improves quality of life and reduces symptom burden in Parkinson disease and similar disorders.
    • Advance care planning facilitates goal-directed treatment.
    • Serious illness communication skills enhance patient autonomy and coping.

    Conclusions:

    • Palliative care offers crucial support alongside primary medical and neurologic teams.
    • Addressing total pain (physical, emotional, social, spiritual) is central to palliative care.
    • Effective communication is essential for goal-concordant and empathic care.
