Living Well Challenge(TM) From Clear to Partly Cloudy: Parkinson #39;s and Cognition
Watch more Living Well Challenge(TM) webisodes on the Davis Phinney Foundation website: http://www.davisphinneyfoundation.org Parkinson #39;s disease affects more than movement, and changes in cognition represent a non-motor symptom that everyone living with Parkinson #39;s will experience at one time or another. Paul Short, PhD, clinical psychologist and "the Parkinson #39;s Coach" discusses how these changes manifest themselves and affect daily life and offers practical solutions for responding to these changes. Dr. Paul #39;s background in neuropsychology allows him to translate many subtle aspects of the disease into plain language; plain language that produces practical plans.

Saliva gland test may be possible diagnostic test for Parkinson #39;s disease
From Arizona-- A new report presented at the annual meeting for the American Academy of Neurology finds that a saliva gland test may be able to diagnose Parkinson #39;s disease. Researchers examined two saliva glands for the presence of an abnormal Parkison #39;s protein in 15 Parkinson #39;s patients who had the disease for an average of 12 years. They found the protein in samples of 82% of the participants mdash;suggesting the technique may be useful as a possible diagnostic tool.

Parkinson #39;s disease not associated with impulse control problems
From Philadelphia -- A new report published in Neurology finds that Parkinson #39;s disease is not associated with gambling or shopping addictions. Researchers compared nearly 170 Parkinson #39;s patients to nearly 150 healthy controls. The Parkinson #39;s patients were all recently diagnosed and had not yet taken medication for the disease. Participants were surveyed regarding their impulse control and compulsive behaviours such as gambling, shopping, eating and sexual behaviours. Results showed that patients with Parkinson #39;s were no more or less likely to demonstrate impulsive or compulsive control problems, with a similar amount of individuals in both groups having symptoms. We spoke with Dr. Daniel Weintraub, MD, principal investigator of the study, who had this to say: "Impulse control disorder symptoms as reported by patients are not more common in untreated Parksinson #39;s disease patients compared with healthy people from the general population. This is additional evidence further supporting that the increased frequency of impulse control disorders that are reported in Parkinson #39;s disease patients are associated with the medications that are used to treat the disease, particularly, the class of medications called dopamine agonists."

Parkinson #39;s Disease | Sleep Disorders
http://www.sleepresourcecenter.org -Parkinson #39;s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls movement. People with Parkinson #39;s disease experience a range of symptoms, including tremor (shaking), rigidity (stiffness), slowness of movement, and problems with balance and coordination. They may also have memory problems, depression, and sleep complaints. Parkinson #39;s disease is both chronic and progressive, meaning that once it occurs it does not go away and symptoms generally get worse over time; the rate or speed of progression is different from person to person. Parkinson #39;s disease can be idiopathic, meaning that it occurs with no known cause. In this case it probably develops by some interaction between a person #39;s genes and their environment. It can also be secondary, occurring as a result of another disease, exposure to certain drugs, or as a result of repeated head trauma. According to the Parkinson #39;s Disease Foundation, between 15 and 25 percent of people with Parkinson #39;s have a relative with the disease, suggesting that for some people it may be inherited. Age is also a risk factor, with older people being more likely to develop Parkinson #39;s disease than younger people, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. Exposure to toxins may also play a role but the nature of that role is not well understood. Sleep problems may be an early sign ...

Star-Dreams Merle #39;s Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson #39;s
Description of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson #39;s Disease. How this surgery changed my life - coming at a time when I was prepared to give up the dreams of a lifetime and accept the new reality that Parkinson #39;s was creating for me. A reality in which my body was being turned into a prison over which I had less and less control. DBS changed all that and gave back to me my life and dreams.

Hello, We #39;re Minou and Cha Cha -- Named by La Petite Ecole Students
In November, seven students from the home-based French/English kindergarten pre-school, La Petite Ecole, in Aurora raised $25 in change and gave 40 lbs. of litter, a new rubber backed rug, two large boxes of trash bags, two bags of kitten chow, one large bottle of bleach, eight rolls of paper towels, 24 cans of Friskies cat food, and a package of small paper plates to Cat Care Society. For the cash donation, the class chose to participate in Cat Care Society #39;s #39;Hello, My Name Is #39; name our cats program ($10 per name). They chose Minou (min-oo) and Cha Cha (sha sha), and the next kitties to be admitted to the shelter arrived 12/16/12... and we #39;re named accordingly. These cuties were adopted the same day they went into the Kitten Room on December 22nd... sending Suellen into immediate action to get their photos taken. Minou and Cha Cha have a condition known as Cerebellar Hypoplasia which affects their motor control and coordination. They are very wobbly and fall over at times if they move to fast. It is similar to Parkinson #39;s Disease in humans. They can live a normal long happy life just like any other kittens.They love to sit in your lap and they just purr and purr. They batted balls and string toys around during play sessions. When they are tired they curl up together in a bed, it #39;s the cutest thing ever.They will be able to look out for each other and comfort each other. A big thank you to Ray Kelsey for opening their hearts and home to these beautiful babies. We wish ...

Restless Leg Syndrome Treatment | Changing Adopting Habits
http://www.sleepresourcecenter.org - There are no cures for primary restless legs syndrome, or RLS, although various treatments often can help relieve symptoms. Treatment for secondary restless legs syndrome (RLS caused by another medical problem) involves treating the underlying cause. The First Step in Treating Restless Legs Syndrome The first line of defense against restless legs syndrome is to avoid substances or foods that may be causing or worsening the problem. Stay away from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. This may partly relieve your symptoms. In addition, review all medications you are taking with your doctor to determine if any of these drugs could be causing the problem. Any underlying medical conditions, such as anemia, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, kidney disease, thyroid disease, varicose veins, or Parkinson #39;s disease, should be treated. Dietary supplements to correct vitamin or mineral deficiency may be recommended. For some people, these treatments are all that is needed to relieve RLS symptoms. You may also benefit from physical therapy and self-care treatments, such as stretching, taking hot or cold baths, whirlpool baths, applying hot or cold packs to the affected area, limb massage, or vibratory or electrical stimulation of the feet and toes before bedtime. Exercise and relaxation techniques also may be helpful.From:SleepResourceCenterViews:1 0ratingsTime:00:54More inEducation
