Los pronósticos más recientes respecto de la enfermedad de Parkinson resultan sorprendentes. Si estos vaticinios son certeros, debemos admitir que estamos al borde de una inminente pandemia. Resulta aterrador ver como en los países más poblados, el número de personas con Parkinson se duplicará hasta llegar a los 30 millones en el año 2030. Tal vez se antojan increíbles estas estadísticas crecientes; no obstante, son plenamente reales, ya que obedecen a una mayor expectativa de vida de la población. En efecto, la edad, es un factor de riesgo innegable e inevitable en el desarrollo de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Así, a mayor expectativa de vida, será mayor el número de enfermos. Dicho de otro modo, si todos viviéramos hasta los 100 años, es probable que desarrolláramos la enfermedad de Parkinson, lo cual generaría una crisis mundial. En mis viajes por el mundo como Director Médico de la Fundación Nacional de Parkinson, he conocido tanto a personas afectadas por este padecimiento, cuanto a sus parientes y amigos. Una de las preguntas más frecuentes es "¿qué debo hacer para mejorar mi vida y la de mis allegados?" Para satisfacer la sed de conocimiento de todas estas personas, decidí escribir este libro, a fin de compartir todos estos secretos para vivir feliz a pesar de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Para ello, coadyuvaron nuestros colegas y médicos en formación, quienes generosamente tradujeron estas páginas a varios idiomas. Internationally renowned as both a neurologist and a leading researcher, Dr. Okun has been referred to as, "the voice of the Parkinson's disease patient." He has an international following on the National Parkinson Foundation's Ask the Doctor web-forum. His many books and internet blog posts are brimming with up-to date and extremely practical information. He has a talent for infusing his readers with positivity and optimism. In his current book, he unmasks the important secrets applicable to every Parkinson's disease patient. For some sufferers the secrets have translated into walking again, for others they have restored voices, and for many they have resulted in the lifting of a depression, anxiety and desperation cloud. "There isn't any joking with Dr. Okun about the 10 Secrets for a Happier Life in Parkinson's disease. This book is a critical resource for Parkinson's disease patients and families from around the world who speak different languages, but suffer from very similar and often disabling symptoms." -Muhammad Ali The book addresses current Parkinson's disease issues and also details emerging therapies (DBS, stem cells, vaccines, gene therapy, optogenetics). Okun masterfully breaks down all of the science into an easy to follow and pleasurable reading experience. Parkinson's Treatment: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life is available in over 20 language translations, and also in an audio version. Dr. Okun has truly helped thousands of Parkinson's disease patients and families discover the core values necessary to achieve happiness despite living with a chronic disease.

“Mucuna pruriens” is a bean that grows in the tropics. It is very rich in natural levodopa that is better tolerated and more potent than the synthetic levodopa in Sinemet or Stalevo. Two prestigious neurologists have patented extracts of mucuna seeds as a treatment for Parkinson's. Meanwhile, patients have recorded their positive experiences with mucuna; they buy it online (no prescription needed) and use it in secrecy without consulting their neurologist. Neither the patients nor the doctors (most of them) have clear ideas about this plant, its ingredients (not only levodopa), the proportions in which it is absorbed, or how to manage it. "Mucuna versus Parkinson: Natural Levodopa Treatment" is so far the most complete and up-to-date monograph on the subject, it describes the theoretical and practical approaches to the use of this plant as a treatment option for Parkinson's disease. Also included are more than one hundred of references.

The fundamental guide to the most effective treatments for Parkinson's Disease, from a Mayo Clinic doctor with thirty years of clinical and research experience. In this second edition follow-up to the extremely successful first edition, Dr. Ahlskog draws on thirty years of clinical experience to present the definitive guide to dealing with all aspects of Parkinson's Disease, from treatment options and side effects to the impact of the disease on caregivers and family. Dr. Ahlskog's goal is to educate patients so that they can better team up with their doctors to do battle with the disease, streamlining the decision-making process and enhancing their treatment. To do this, Dr. Ahlskog offers a gold mine of information, distilled from his years of experience treating people with Parkinson's at the Mayo Clinic. In addition to providing a comprehensive account of Parkinson's medications, this book also examines additional aspects of treatment, such as the role of nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy. Although many commendable texts have been written on the subject of Parkinson's Disease, their discussions of treatment have not been in depth. Dr. Ahlskog sifts through aspects of the disease in order to give the reader a comprehensive sense of Parkinson's and the best available treatment options. With a broader understanding of the disease and the available options, patients are able to make more informed choices, and doctors are able to provide more tailored care. This book delivers hopeful, helpful, and extensive information to all parties concerned: patients, caregivers, and doctors. The ultimate guide to symptoms and treatment, this thoroughly updated second edition is the first place patients should turn for reliable, easy-to-grasp information on Parkinson's Disease.

This Guide assesses the key clinimetric attributes in the assessment of Parkinson's Disease (PD), with the intention to offer rapid and pragmatic information on the most relevant scales used in PD. Parkinson’s disease affects approximately 4 million people globally and is most commonly seen in people over the age of 50. The disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system, and presents a number of movement and cognitive symptoms, thereby greatly affecting a patients quality of life. The use of scales for assessment in neurological disorders such as PD arises from the need to quantify disorders and states (such constructs as disability, symptoms, quality of life). Assessment scales are often categorised into two categories: generic (i.e. those scales usable in any health condition), and specific (i.e. scales developed for exclusive use in PD). They can have a variety of components: single-item and multi-item or composite scale; unidimensional and multidimensional; and as disease-centered and patient-centered measures. The creation and validation of scales is complex, with scales undergoing numerous studies to assess criteria such as acceptability, reliability, and responsiveness. In the process of validation of a scale the following attributes should be tested to ascertain whether a scale is an effective instrument of measurement.

As novas expectativas para a doença de Parkinson são surpreendentes. Os números sugerem uma necessidade urgente de acordar e reconhecer que estamos à beira de uma pandemia emergente. É assustador pensar que, nos países mais populosos do mundo, o número de doentes de Parkinson dobrará para quase 30 milhões no ano de 2030. Essas crescentes estatísticas parecem inacreditáveis, mas elas são reais, e estas são alimentadas por uma população que continua a envelhecer. A idade é o fator de risco inevitável e inegável para o desenvolvimento da doença de Parkinson. Com o aumento da expectativa de vida, esses números ficam ainda mais assustadores. Dito de outra forma, se todos vivêssemos até os 100 anos, seríamos forçados a lidar com a doença de Parkinson, e isso levaria a uma crise mundial. Ao viajar pelo mundo como diretor médico nacional da National Parkinson Foundation (NPF), conheci dezenas de milhares de pacientes com a doença de Parkinson, familiares e amigos. Uma das perguntas mais comuns em suas mentes era "o que posso fazer para que minha vida e as vidas dos que me rodeiam tornem-se melhores?" Eu escrevi este livro para ajudar a saciar essa sede que é compartilhada por pacientes de Parkinson e famílias em todo o mundo. É nesse espírito, através de nossos companheiros de trabalho e colegas, que foi possível traduzir este livro em tantos idiomas, a fim de passar a palavra ao mundo sobre os segredos de esperança e uma vida mais feliz com a doença de Parkinson.

The analysis of speech of people with Parkinson's disease is an interesting and highly relevant topic that has attracted the research community during several years. The advances in digital signal processing and pattern recognition have motivated the research community to work on the development of computational tools to perform automatic analysis of speech. Most of the contributions on this topic are focused on sustained phonation of vowels and only consider recordings of one language. This thesis addresses two problems considering recordings of sustained phonations of vowels and continuous speech signals: (1) the automatic classification of Parkinson's patients vs. healthy speakers, and (2) the prediction of the neurological state of the patients according to the motor section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Recordings of three languages are considered: Spanish, German, and Czech. German and Czech data were provided by other researchers, and Spanish data were recorded in Medellin, Colombia, during the development of this work. Besides the classical approaches to assess pathological speech, a new method to model articulation deficits of Parkinson's patients is proposed. This new articulation modeling approach shows to be more accurate and robust than others to discriminate between Parkinson's patients and healthy speakers in the three considered languages.
