Aunque la medicación dopaminérgica es el tratamiento más eficaz para los pacientes que padecen la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), su uso prolongado está asociado con fluctuaciones motoras debilitantes. Es posible que los pacientes no busquen inmediatamente asistencia médica cuando aparecen las fluctuaciones, por eso es necesario implementar estrategias que permitan identificar y aliviar la disfunción motora. Este conciso recurso permitirá a los lectores conocer mejor: • los diferentes tipos de fluctuaciones motoras, por qué se producen y cómo reconocerlas • los fármacos que se pueden añadir a la levodopa para reducir las fluctuaciones • las terapias avanzadas y emergentes que ayudan a mejorar los resultados. No hay dos pacientes parkinsonianos con el mismo progreso de la enfermedad ni la misma respuesta al tratamiento. Esta obra Fast Facts proporciona a los profesionales de la salud la información que necesitan para ofrecer a sus pacientes una atención personalizada que mejore su calidad de vida.
Sebbene la terapia dopaminergica rappresenti la forma di trattamento più efficace per i pazienti con malattia di Parkinson (MP), l’uso a lungo termine di questi farmaci è associato a fluttuazioni motorie invalidanti. Poiché i pazienti potrebbero non richiedere spontaneamente assistenza quando si manifestano fluttuazioni, occorre adottare opportune strategie per identificare e alleviare la disfunzione motoria. Questo breve opuscolo intende sensibilizzare il lettore su quanto segue: • le diverse tipologie di fluttuazione motoria, il motivo per cui si manifestano e come riconoscerle • i farmaci eventualmente associabili alla levodopa per ridurre le fluttuazioni • terapie avanzate ed ...

There is no area in medicine that has affected biological psychiatry more pro 15 years in en foundly than the developments that have occurred in the last docrinology and more specifically in neuroendocrinology. In the 1960s, the regulation of endocrine function was considered to rest primarily in the feed back system between the pituitary and the secretions of various target organs. In R. H. Williams' Fourth Edition of the Textbook of Endocrinology published in 1968, the chapter on neuroendocrinology did refer to the median eminence gland with a relatively brief mention of various releasing factors that were the subject of ongoing studies. Only six years later, in the Fifth Edition published...
Locomotion involves many different muscles and the need of controlling several degrees of freedom. Despite the Central Nervous System can finely control the contraction of individual muscles, emerging evidences indicate that strategies for the reduction of the complexity of movement and for compensating the sensorimotor delays may be adopted. Experimental evidences in animal and lately human model led to the concept of a central pattern generator (CPG) which suggests that circuitry within the distal part of CNS, i.e. spinal cord, can generate the basic locomotor patterns, even in the absence of sensory information. Different studies pointed out the role of CPG in the control of locomotion as...
