Parkinson’s Disease Abstract Parkinson’s Disease is a very common disorder these days. Over 10 million people live daily with Parkinson worldwide. Parkinson’s Disease was named after an English surgeon James Parkinson who wrote a detailed description essay called Shaking Palsy in 1817. The average age for Parkinson’s Disease is between 45 to 70 years old but you can also have juvenile or young onset as well. Most common symptoms of Parkinson are tremors, bradykinesia or akinesia, or rigidity or

Title: Mustard: The Greatest Among The Herbs Word Count: 1072 Summary: Known and used since ancient times, and called the greatest among the herbs in the Bible, mustard and its healing properties are discussed in this article. How to grow it, how to use it, and recipes for using the seed and greens are included. Keywords: mustard, plants, seeds, greens, uses in the kitchen, recipes, growing, harvesting Article Body: Mustard plants have been used for thousands of years for their pungent flavour

Awakenings 1. The movie Awakenings is a true story about a neurologist played by Robin Williams, at a hospital in the Bronx, who discovers a drug L-Dopa in which helps temporarily with unresponsive patients. Leonard Lowe who is played by Robert Deniro and the other patients are given this new age drug and are forced to adapt to the world around them that has been changing ever since they began to be catatonic. 2. The psychological theme/focus would be Neuroscience (Chapter 2) because the patients

Parkinson’s Disease is a very well-known, incurable, disease of the nervous system. It has many symptoms that are both motor and non-motor. The main symptom of Parkinson’s disease would be tremors of the body and stiffness. One of the believed non-motor symptoms that this article covers is weight change. It has been discovered that patients with non-tremor dominant subtypes are more prone to severe motor symptoms. These types of patients are also shown to succumb to the disease much quicker than

Parkinson’s disease? Rationale: Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of nerves responsible for the production of the dopamine (inhibitory neurotransmitter) within the basal ganglia inside the substantia nigra. Nerve fibers that connect the corpus striatum and substantia nigra are responsible for complex body movements, such unconscious movement, control of position, and posture by the balancing of acetylcholine (excitatory), and dopamine (inhibitory). The loss of dopamine creates an imbalance

PINK1 (PTEN Induced Putative Kinase 1) is a gene that provides directions for making the protein PTEN induced putative kinase 1. The greatest amounts of this protein can be found in the muscles, heart, and testes, but it is also found in cells throughout the body. The protein lies within the mitochondria of the cell, and, although the function of PTEN induced putative kinase 1 is not yet fully understood, it seems to assist in protecting the mitochondria from becoming impaired when the cell is under

Article One Okun (2012) utilized a systematic review of four samples to explore deep brain stimulation effects on advanced Parkinson’s patients’ quality of life, severity of motor symptoms, and the number of hours per day spent in the “on” state without dyskinesia (Appendix D). Pertinent findings from the critical appraisal of this article included: validity of the reviews utilized in the study, sample size, measurement of variables, findings, and strengths and weaknesses. The review employed four

Information from the nigra cells passes through the synapses with the aid of a specific hormone, dopamine, which is a significant chemical transmitter in the brain. Because the existence of dopamine is essential to the function of the substania nigra, it is also essential for the various muscular activities controlled by the striatum, such as walking, balance, etc. (16). In Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's disease the nigra-striatum neural communication assemblage is

The current generation of children is completely different than the preceding ones. They are living in the digital age. “Technology has blended in with daily activity to become a way of life and children today take for granted all of which is automated. It is hard for kids nowadays to imagine a world that existed without all of the gadgets, electronics and seamless operations that computer technology provides.” (3) “Children in the United States devote some 40 hours a week to television, video games
