Understanding Parkinson's disease

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

We rely on our brains for every movement we make, whether writing, walking, talking or even sleeping. But a serious brain disorder like Parkinsons disease can rob a person of the ability to do everyday tasks that many of us take for granted. Theres no cure, but treatment can help. And researchers continue to seek new understanding to improve medical care. Parkinsons disease evolves gradually over time. The early signs may be barely noticeable. A persons movements may change slightly. You might notice slowness, rigidity or difficulty balancing or walking. The persons face may lack expression or handwriting may become small and cramped. Eventually, these changes can become more severe and interfere with daily life. It might become harder to sleep, think, eat, speak, smell and make decisions. As the disease worsens, symptoms may become difficult to control. Parkinsons disease usually arises after age 50, but can also appear earlier in life. It affects about 600,000 people nationwide. As Americans age, the number of people with Parkinsons disease is expected to rise dramatically. Parkinsons disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, which means that brain cells gradually malfunction and die. The disease damages brain cells that make a chemical called dopamine. The … Continue reading →

Prognosis for Parkinson's: New Speech Therapy Produces Big Results

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

It was a twitch in his finger that led John Orcutt to go to the doctor's office. His diagnosis shocked and scared him. "There was a certain amount of denial and fatalism that sets in because the common knowledge that Parkinson's ultimately a terminal disorder," said John Orcutt, a Parkinson's Disease patient. Orcutt was diagnosed with Parkinson's five years ago. He had to take an early retirement in early 2014. "Some of the challenges are in terms of dressing. That's what I notice the most, when I try to do shirt button. With the tremor in the hand, it makes it difficult to do that," said Orcutt. Most recently Orcutt has noticed changes in his speech. Some research says about 90 percent of people with Parkinson's have speech problems. "The actual physiology of how the vocal folds are moving changes, so that impacts how the sound is coming out, so people aren't able to get that nice, clear sound that they can communicate with because of weakness. They also have a perceptual component where they are not able to hear themselves correctly so they continue to get quieter and quieter," said Jeanmaire Ripke, MS,CCSLP, a speech language pathologist. But speech … Continue reading →

Wish Book: Program helps woman recover after brain injury

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

After she'd emerged from the coma, after she'd survived a severe head injury from which most people never make it back, Kristin McCollum's recovery became a steady stream of humble miracles: the time she first opened her eyes; the time she smiled when her dad walked into the hospital room; the time she uttered her first word, a swear word, to her speech therapist. "Those were very special moments," says her mother, Paula. "But for a long time, we'd look at her and wonder, 'Is she still in there? Is she still Kristin?'" Four years later, the one-time pizza-shop manager still is slowly coming back from what her mom calls "ground zero," that Christmas Day in 2010 when McCollum, then 31, for no apparent reason lost control of her Volkswagen Golf on Old Almaden Road. It took rescue workers 45 minutes to extract her from the mangled vehicle. She suffered a traumatic brain injury from which 90 percent of victims never regain consciousness. A key to that recovery has been Services for Brain Injury, a nonprofit center and wonder factory tucked into a nondescript business park in North San Jose. For the past year, McCollum has been coming here five … Continue reading →

Unborn right to life surpasses mothers right to dignified death, court told

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

The three judge High Court, comprising the President of the High Court, Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, Ms Justice Marie Baker and Ms Justice Caroline Costello has heard final legal arguments and will rule on he matter on Friday, St Stephens Day. File photograph: Bryan OBrien A clinically dead pregnant woman must be maintained on life support if the High Court finds there is a real prospect her unborn child will achieve viability outside the womb, lawyers representing the interests of the unborn have argued. The Constitution requires the right to life of the unborn be vindicated where practicable and that right surpasses the right of a non-sentient woman to a dignified death, Conor Dignam SC submitted. A three judge High Court, comprising Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, Ms Justice Marie Baker and Ms Justice Caroline Costello, heard final legal arguments from Mr Dignam and the other relevant parties today on the womans familys application to stop the life-supporting somatic treatment. The court will rule on the application at noon on Friday, St Stephenss Day. The family want the somatic treatment stopped so they may bury the woman, aged in her mid-20s and a mother of young children, with dignity. She was … Continue reading →

High-fat diet, obesity during pregnancy harms stem cells in developing fetus

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

Findings may provide broad context for the rise in immune disease and allergic disposition in children PORTLAND, Ore. -- Physician-scientists at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital reveal a high-fat diet and obesity during pregnancy compromise the blood-forming, or hematopoietic, stem cell system in the fetal liver responsible for creating and sustaining lifelong blood and immune system function. The life-long burden of a western-style diet on the heart and circulatory system have long been appreciated. However, prior to this study, no one had considered whether the developing blood stem cells might be similarly vulnerable to prenatal high-fat diet and/or maternal obesity. The findings are published in the journal Molecular Metabolism. "Our results offer a model for testing whether the effects of a high-fat diet and obesity can be repaired through dietary intervention, a key question when extrapolating this data to human populations," said Daniel L. Marks, M.D., Ph.D., co-investigator and professor of pediatric endocrinology in the OHSU School of Medicine and Pap Family Pediatric Research Institute at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Several years ago, Marks and colleagues developed a mouse model that closely mimics the high-fat, high-simple-sugar diet currently consumed by many young women of childbearing age. Their subsequent research demonstrated that … Continue reading →

Human primordial cells created in the lab

A cell programming technique developed at the Weizmann Institute turns them into the earliest precursors of sperm and ova IMAGE:These are clusters of human embryonic stem cells that were differentiated to an early germ cell (PGC) state (colored cells). Each color reveals the expression of a different gene. (l-r)... view more Credit: Weizmann Institute of Science Groups at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Cambridge University have jointly managed the feat of turning back the clock on human cells to create primordial germ cells - the embryonic cells that give rise to sperm and ova - in the lab. This is the first time that human cells have been programmed into this early developmental stage. The results of their study, which were published today in Cell, could help provide answers as to the causes of fertility problems, yield insight into the earliest stages of embryonic development and potentially, in the future, enable the development of new kinds of reproductive technology. "Researchers have been attempting to create human primordial germ cells (PGCs) in the petri dish for years," says Dr. Jacob Hanna of the Institute's Molecular Genetics Department, who led the study together with research student Leehee Weinberger. PGCs arise within … Continue reading →

New health care strategy to introduce personalised medicine

Posted: Published on December 24th, 2014

Abu Dhabi: A comprehensive new health care strategy for the emirate of Abu Dhabi will focus on reducing critical gaps across medical specialities and improving access to health care, senior health officials announced in the capital on Wednesday. One of the hallmarks of this plan, launched by the emirates health sector regulator, the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (Haad), is to reduce the prevalence of genetic diseases among residents. In addition, personalised medicine programmes will also be introduced to tailor management of diseases based on each individuals predisposition to health risks, Dr Maha Barakat, director-general at the Health Authority Abu Dhabi, told Gulf News. Such personalised management of health is the future of medicine, and we are currently in the exploratory phase of implementing it. For example, a simple blood test can be used to extract the genetic profile of an individual, and based on inherent risks towards certain diseases, the individuals future treatment plans can be determined and precautionary measures taken, Dr Maha said. She was speaking at a press conference held to launch the Haads health care plan for the next five years. The scheme highlights 58 initiatives distributed across seven priority areas, and was recently approved by the … Continue reading →
