Recomandri
Actualmente nu poate fi o indicaie unic n
tipul de terapie iniial
Opiuni posibile:
levodopa, agoniti dopaminergici, inhibitorii MAO
amantadina sau anticolinergice
Levodopa
Levodopa este cel mai eficient medicament n
terapia iniial
Dup civa ani - complicaii motorii
Utilizarea levodopa cu eliberare lent nu e eficace n
prevenirea acestor complicaii
Utilizarea precoce de levodopa e recomandat la
persoanele vrstnice:
Sensibilitate major la agonitii dopaminergici;
Risc minor de complicaii motorii
Agonitii dopaminergici
Agonitii non ergolinici sunt superiori n raport
cu levodopa n privina riscului fluctuaiilor
motorii
Cabergolina este cu certitudine eficient n
prevenia fluctuaiilor motorii
Terapia iniial cu agoniti e recomandat la
pacienii tineri
Agonitii dopaminergici
Agonitii prezint efecte adverse
agoniti ergolinici nu se recomand ca terapie de
prim alegere din cauza riscului de fibroz
se recomand monitorizarea (radiografia toracic

Using the clinical diagnostic criteria of the Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank,
London, England, Hughes et al 3 reported the same (76%) autopsy-confirmed
diagnostic accuracy in 100 brains of patients with parkinsonism. By modifying the
criteria to include asymmetric onset, no atypical features, and no possible cause for
another parkinsonian syndrome, the diagnostic accuracy was increased to 93% (truepositive cases), but 32% of pathologically proven cases of PD were not identified by
these criteria (false-negative cases). Thus, an increase in positive predictive value was
associated with a decrease in sensitivity.
Good response to levodopa is often used to support the diagnosis of PD. Of 100
pathologically proven cases from the United Kingdom, Hughes et al 4 reported that 77
(77%) had good or excellent initial levodopa response as did 16 (94%) of 17 patients
examined by Rajput et al. 5 However, rare cases of pathologically proven parkinsonism
with Lewy bodies, but without response to levodopa, have been reported. 6 Therefore,
while improvement with levodopa supports the diagnosis of PD, response to levodopa
cannot be used to reliably differentiate PD from other parkinsonian disorders. The
diagnosis of PD is reserved for those idiopathic cases that have pathological findings of
substantia nigra and Lewy bodies. 1 Future advances in imaging technology will
undoubtedly improve the diagnostic potential of magnetic resonance imaging, positron
emission tomography, and single photon emission computed tomography. 7-10 Until the
utility of these imaging techniques in the diagnosis of PD is established, the diagnosis of
PD will rest on a set of clinically defined criteria. We present herein the results of a study
of cases prospectively followed since the early stages of PD to examine the evolution of
clinical diagnosis.

Early life
James Parkinson was born in Shoreditch,
London, England. He was the son of John
Parkinson, an apothecary and surgeon
practising in Hoxton Square in London. In 1784
James Parkinson was approved by the
Corporation of London as a surgeon.
On May 21, 1783, he married Mary Dale, with
whom he subsequently had six children. Soon
after he was married, James Parkinson
succeeded his father in his practice in 1, Hoxton
Square. He believed that any worthwhile
physician should know shorthand, at which he
was adept.
Social reform
James Parkinson was a controversial social reformer and political activist who championed
many causes and found it difficult to remain silent while people suffered. He lived during the
reign of King George III, at a time when the standard of living was declining as a result of war
and rising taxes. Representation in parliament for all citizens was non-existent and corruption
was rife.
Under the pen name of 'Old Hubert', he wrote many pamphlets which were highly critical of the
political system of the day and advocated the reform of popular representation in the House of
Commons and universal suffrage. He also highlighted social concerns such as poverty,
unfairness of taxes and wages, unfair imprisonment, poor prison conditions, education for the
poor, and care for the elderly and disabled.
James Parkinson also became a prominent member of two outspoken societies at the time,
the London Corresponding Society and the Society of Constitutional Information. The first
aimed to bring about reform of the parliamentary representation of the people and some of
their ideas were the foundation for the political system that exists in the UK today. However, in
a time when there was no freedom of speech, many members of these societies were tried and
convicted of treason, suffering severe punishment as a result.
As a result of his political activities, James played a key role in investigations into an alleged
conspiracy to kill King George III, allegedly by firing a poisoned dart from the pit of a theatre
(known as the 'Popgun Plot'). Five members of the London Corresponding Society were
arrested for high treason in relation to this apparent plan, which never existed except in the
mind of one man, Thomas Upton. Three of the others were accused based on letters forged by
Upton, and one by being associated with Upton. James Parkinson was a witness for the
defence during the Privy Council investigations and in the one trial which was subsequently
held. All the accused were eventually freed. James Parkinson, in appearing for the defence and
in his writings, took significant risks with regard to his own career and life because he could
have been prosecuted for his activities, the people and organisations he was associated with
and for writing against the monarchy. His involvement in this affair shows that he was a man of
principle and honour who believed these issues were too important to remain silent. This
earned him the respect of the Privy Council and he was not prosecuted.
In later life, James Parkinson took on other responsibilities with humanitarian goals. This
included highlighting the importance of the welfare of children who worked as apprentices,
uncovering abuse and encouraging law reform governing apprentices to make review and
inspection an integral part of the system.
Science
Parkinson's interest gradually turned from medicine to nature, specifically the
relatively new field of geology, and paleontology. He began collecting specimens and
drawings of fossils in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He took his children
and friends on excursions to collect and observe fossil plants and animals. His
attempts to learn more about fossil identification and interpretation were frustrated by
a lack of available literature, and so he took the decision to improve matters by
writing his own introduction to the study of fossils.
In 1804 the first volume of his Organic Remains of the Former World was published.
Gideon Mantell praised it as "the first attempt to give a familiar and scientific account
of fossils". A second volume was published in 1808, and a third in 1811. Parkinson
illustrated each volume, sometimes in color. The plates were later re-used by Gideon
Mantell. In 1822 he published the shorter "Elements of Oryctology: an Introduction to
the Study of Fossil Organic Remains, especially of those found in British Strata".
Parkinson also contributed several papers to William Nicholsons "A Journal of
Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and the Arts", and in the first, second, and fifth
volumes of the "Geological Societys Transactions".
On November 13, 1807, Parkinson and a number of other distinguished gentlemen
met at the Freemasons' Tavern in London. The gathering included such great names
as Sir Humphry Davy, Arthur Aikin, and George Bellas Greenough. This was to be
the first meeting of the Geological Society of London.
Parkinson belonged to a school of thought, Catastrophism, that concerned itself with
the belief that the Earth's geology and biosphere were shaped by recent large-scale
cataclysms. He cited the Noachian deluge of Genesis as an example, and he firmly
believed that creation and extinction were processes guided by the hand of God. His
view on Creation was that each 'day' was actually a much longer period, that lasted
perhaps tens of thousands of years in length.
Medicine
Parkinson turned away from his tumultuous political career, and
between 1799 and 1807 published a number of medical works,
including a work on gout in 1805. He was also responsible for the
earliest writings on the subject of peritonitis in English medical
literature.
Parkinson was the first person to systematically describe 6
individuals with symptoms of the disease that bears his name.
Unusually for such a description, he did not actually examine these
patients himself but observed them on daily walks. [1]
