Question
Answer
Parkinson's Disease Etiology   Degen of SN dopa neurons, onset: >40; causes: pesticides(paraquat and dieldren), uknown, vascular, viral, metabolic, ^microglial(free rads) ^glutamic activity(^Ca++), causes of 2nd: meds(haldol), Drugs mptp(endstage), multi infarct, Post encephalitis  
🗑
Parkinson's Disease Pathogenesis   dec. DA(striatum)=inc. ACH(GP)=inc GABA(Basil ganglia=inc inhbition of Thamlmus=inc inhib of MC= poverty of movement, nicotine protect, anti inflams, alpha-synuclei neuroprotect  
🗑
Parkinson's Dx   clinical, gold std.=neuropathology, depig of SN, neuronal loss of SN, lewy bodies; r/o wilson's Disease  
🗑
Parkinson's clinical manifestations   tremor, rigidity, akinesia, postural instability, festinant gait, slow start/stop, soft monot voice, Autonomic-orthohypo, urin reten, seborrhea, Depress, anxiety, dementia; lack of convergence, glabellar tap, blepharoclonus, head drop  
🗑
Stages of Parkinson's   I: unilateral, II: bilateral, III: postural unsteadiness, IV: movement disabling, V: bed ridend  
🗑
Selegine   MAO-BI(eldepral) Medical Tx of Parkinson's, blocks DA->DOPAC, 3-MT->HVA, NE-> epi(high tyrosine, hypertensive crisis)  
🗑
Tasmer   COMT-I(tolcapine) Medical Tx of Parkinson's, blocks DA->3-MT, DOPAC->HVA, hepatotoxic  
🗑
Congentin   anticholinergic(benzotropine) artane, used with haldol and thorizeine to treat parkinson like ss, ^HR, Gastroparesis, confusion in elderly  
🗑
Parlodel   DA agonist(bromocriptine), SE: psychosis, hallucin, Permax(pergolide)increase valvular disease(removed)  
🗑
Amantadine   DA reuptake inhibitor; usually for depression  
🗑
Sinemet   L-dopa+carbidopa, SE: dyskinesia, n/v, on off phenom due to protein comp, wearing off re-emgergence of manigests, progresses disease quicker  
🗑
Parkinson's tx >60   use sinement, add DA agonist; avoid: selegine, amatadine, anticholinergic  
🗑
Parkinson's tx 50-59   use: selegiline, DA agonist, add sinemet, amantadine  
🗑
Parkinson's tx <50   use: selegeline, amantadine, anticholinergic  
🗑
Parkinson's SX Tx   Palidotomy: GPi, Thalmotomy: unilateral ventral(bi= dysarthria); Thalamic stim/subthalamic stim deep, bilateral and reversible, unknown mech  
🗑
Striatonigral Degen   Degen of BG, SN and Striatum, resistant to L-dopa, no lewy,(similar SS to parkins)  
🗑
Shy drager syndrome   Degen of BG, associated with autonomic dysfunction and extrapyramidal manifestations  
🗑
Oliviopontocerebellar atrophy   degen of BG, no 2 cases alike, eye movement abn, dysarthria  
🗑
Huntington's Disease Etiology   auto dom disorder CHR 4 CAG repeats, degen GABA neurons, onset: 40y, common:N. euro, Juvenile: from Dad, 10-15 years life expectancy,  
🗑
Huntington's disease pathogenesis   Dec GABA from the striatum(Gabaneurgic die from build up of gaba precusors no glutamic decarboxylase)=inc DA from SN= dec ACH on GP= dec GABA on thalmus= overexitement of the motor cortex
