A. Reducing the time between dses f levdpa/ carbidpa B. Intrductin f a dpamine agnist C. Intrductin f a catechl-o-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitr D. Increasing each dse f levdpa/ carbidpa E. Intrductin f a sustained-release frm f levdpa/ carabidpa Answer: Learning Issues: 1) Parkinsn s disease 2) Treatment and side effects Parkinsn s Disease (PD) - Bradykinetic neurdegenerative mvement disrder - Peak age nset >60 years ld - Males > females - Cardinal features: (need 2 ut f 4 fr dx) Rigidity Bradykinesia Rest tremr (present in >85%) Gait disturbance - Other features: Ansmia Autnmic dysfunctin (may als be treatment related) Psychiatric features (depressin, dpamine-related hallucinatins) Sleep disturbance Dementia Dyskinesia and mtr fluctuatin (Levadpa related) - Subtypes Idipathic (75%) Genetic/ familial clusters (< 5%) Others eg ther neurdegenerative disease/ drugs/ CVA - Pathlgy (degree relates well with mtr symptms and dementia) Degeneratin f dpaminergic pathways (dpamine deficiency) and chlinergic sensitivity in basal ganglia Neurns accumulate synuclein prtein -> lewy bdies (especially lfactry and brain stem -> midbrain) Brain atrphy (limbic/ paralimbic structures; anterir cingulate gyrus) A few general statements abut PD: - An early nset resting tremr especially if unilateral suggests idipathic PD - Early nset cgnitive decline, neurpsychiatric symptms r autnmic dysfunctin suggests syndrmes with Parkinsnian features usually earlier age f nset and less respnsive t levadpa - Drug induced parkinsnism (mainly neurleptics, metclpramide, manganese, CO) clsely resembles idipathic except the tremr is generally less prminent. This ften reslves with drug cessatin if it persists, the patient may already have been in the prcess f develping PD
