Book Synopsis Navigating Life with Parkinson's Disease by : Sotirios A. Parashos
Download or read book Navigating Life with Parkinson's Disease written by Sotirios A. Parashos and published by Brain and Life Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is hard to believe it has been only 7 years since the publication of our first edition. In this short time, so much has changed in what we know about Parkinson's disease and how to treat it. As I read through the first edition, I found much information was already out of date within 4 years from publication. New knowledge about the role of protein misfolding and how it leads to nerve cell damage in Parkinson's, about when and where the disease may be starting, about how it may progress and spread through the brain, about how it affects almost all aspects of body functions, about how all this new knowledge is shaping the quest for a cure, about how important exercise is, and about how the multidisciplinary approach to disease management changes the quality of life of people with Parkinson's has been accumulating at a dizzying pace. More than 200 years after the publication of Parkinson's An Essay on the Shaking Palsy and just over 50 years after the implementation of levodopa in Parkinson's treatment, it looks as though scientists are poised to make a breakthrough toward effective treatments of the disease itself, not just the symptoms, and paths that may eventually lead to a cure are now visible. Such progress would be impossible without the hard work of many researchers; the financial support of the corresponding government agencies; the advocacy of national and international Parkinson's organizations and the philanthropy of their donors; and the tireless efforts and open minds of the doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers caring for people with Parkinson's and their families. Above all, none of this progress would be possible without the active participation of people with Parkinson's and their families through advocacy, community engagement, and participation in clinical trials. To them we would like to extend a great "thank you"."--
Book Synopsis Parkinson's Disease Management through ICT by : Joan Cabestany
Download or read book Parkinson's Disease Management through ICT written by Joan Cabestany and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that manifests with motor and non-motor symptoms. PD treatment is symptomatic and tries to alleviate the associated symptoms through an adjustment of the medication. As the disease is evolving and this evolution is patient specific, it could be very difficult to properly manage the disease.The current available technology (electronics, communication, computing, etc.), correctly combined with wearables, can be of great use for obtaining and processing useful information for both clinicians and patients allowing them to become actively involved in their condition.Parkinson's Disease Management through ICT: The REMPARK Approach presents the work done, main results and conclusions of the REMPARK project (2011 – 2015) funded by the European Union under contract FP7-ICT-2011-7-287677. REMPARK system was proposed and developed as a real Personal Health Device for the Remote and Autonomous Management of Parkinson’s Disease, composed of different levels of interaction with the patient, clinician and carers, and integrating a set of interconnected sub-systems: sensor, auditory cueing, Smartphone and server. The sensor subsystem, using embedded algorithmics, is able to detect the motor symptoms associated with PD in real time. This information, sent through the Smartphone to the REMPARK server, is used for an efficient management of the disease.

Book Synopsis The Comprehensive Management of Parkinson's Disease by : Andrea M. Cohen
Download or read book The Comprehensive Management of Parkinson's Disease written by Andrea M. Cohen and published by Demos Medical Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book about caring for patients with Parkinson's disease has taken a rehabilitation approach and has been written by health care specialists from multiple disciplines, including neurology and physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Previousworks have generally emphasized the pharmacological management of this condition without much discussion of other treatment modalities. In putting together this book, the authors endeavored to avoid this bias and have included many chapters on discussions of other modalities. The authors favor a multidisciplinary approach to treating Parkinson's disease and have outlined various ways in which this model can be effectively applied. This book will be very useful for those involved in the care of patients with Parkinson's disease, including neurologists, rehabilitation and primary care physicians, physical, occupation, and speech therapists, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists as well as lay caregivers. Unique features of the book include chapters on driving and on financial and legal issues. In addition, there is a fairly comprehensive list of medical and community resources including centers specializing in movement disorders, organizations for Parkinson's research and education, and a list of catalogues offering specialized clothing and assistive devices. This book should prove to be a very useful handbook for those caring for people with Parkinson's disease, especially as more centers adopt the multidisciplinary approach advocated here. 92/100.

It imposes an economic and social burden on the old age population. "Shaking palsy" is another word we use for Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease progresses at a slow pace. It requires years or more before a person goes through a serious disability. Approximately 60,000 individuals are diagnosed each year. Just a few other known and famous celebrities with PD include Muhammad Ali, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Graham, Charles Schulz, Ben Petrick, Janet Reno, Bob Hoskins, Freddie Roach, Michael Richard Clifford, Maurice White, Brian Grant, James Levine, Billy Connolly, and Neil Diamond. Characteristic symptoms are tremor, rigidity, akinesia (loss of spontaneous movement) as mentioned above and bradykinesia (movement at a slow rate) and problems associated with gait and posture. Effective management is a multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach that requires a team of professionals including the PD patient, family members, caregivers and support staff. This book presents alternative strategies to delay the disease process and optimize a person's functional capacity despite this debilitating disease. Included are practical and simple therapeutic exercises and strategies utilized by Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech-Language Pathologists in addressing the issues in Parkinson's disease: TREMORS, RIGIDITY, COORDINATION AND BALANCE DISTURBANCE, IMPAIRED POSTURE, GAIT ABNORMALITY, SPEECH, AND VOICE DEFICITS and other ensuing impairments. Images of specific Therapeutic exercises are included. This book is simplified for easy reading.This book is authored by a practicing Physical Therapist and colleagues who are Rehab Professionals.
