What Parkinson's disease

summary

The old people are not able to move. Sometimes their hands shake very hard. They can't stop it. They took the hospital to check for Parkinson's syndrome, which is more serious. They consulted the doctor about how to care for the patients. Now let me talk about Parkinson's disease.

What Parkinson's disease

First, Parkinson's disease Disease, known as "primary tremor paralysis" in medicine, is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. It is mainly due to the decrease of dopamine synthesis and inhibition of acetylcholine function after the pathological changes of cells in the substantia nigra of the midbrain region, so the excitatory effect of acetylcholine is relatively enhanced. The imbalance between the two results in "tremor paralysis".

Second: Parkinson's syndrome is a common diagnostic concept for neurologists in clinic, which refers to a group of clinical symptoms mainly caused by bradykinesia due to various reasons (cerebrovascular disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis, infection, poisoning, trauma, drugs and genetic degeneration, etc.), mainly manifested as tremor, muscle stiffness, bradykinesia and postural instability, etc. It includes primary Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's superposition syndrome, secondary Parkinson's syndrome and hereditary degenerative Parkinson's syndrome.

Third: Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease occurring in middle age and above. The main lesions were in substantia nigra and striatum. The decrease of dopamine production led to static tremor, increased muscle tone and motor retardation. This disease mostly occurs in the middle-aged and elderly people over 50-60 years old, but there are also familial and juvenile Parsons' disease in the genetic classification. Men are slightly more than women. The incidence rate is about 70% to 80% of all patients.

matters needing attention

The self-care ability of Parkinson's patients is relatively weak, and the elderly are particularly prone to this disease. In order to prevent the disease, we should pay attention to strengthening exercise and playing Taijiquan. In addition, the food should be light and eat more nutritious eggs and meat.
