How Parkinson's disease starts and spreads

From www.sciencedaily.com - April 20, 2012 12:48 AM
Injection of a small amount of clumped protein triggers a cascade of events leading to a Parkinson’s-like disease in mice, according to a new article.

 

These findings suggest that Parkinson's disease, like other neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's, may start and progress due to abnormal aggregation and accumulation of proteins within the brain. What gets these clumps going in the first place remains unclear.

Frustrated ALS Patients Concoct Their Own Drug

Frustrated ALS Patients Concoct Their Own Drug | #ALS AWARENESS #LouGehrigsDisease #PARKINSONS | Scoop.it
From online.wsj.com - April 16, 2012 10:36 PM
Some patients with fatal Lou Gehrig's disease are trying to brew their own version of an experimental compound at home and testing it on themselves.

 

Jonathan D. Glass, professor of neurology and pathology at Emory University School of Medicine and director of Emory ALS Center, is one of the NP001 site investigators. He said he is concerned that "these people could hurt themselves. Who knows what they are actually making in their kitchen." He says patients need to work with doctors and regulatory officials to find ways to speed up the drug development process. "I feel their pain that they really want it to happen faster, but I don't think you can do it without the medical establishment," he said.

Last summer, the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University announced that its researchers had uncovered a common cause for the various forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease). That dramatic breakthrough could lead to revolutionary new therapies to treat the fatal neurodegenerative disorder.

Leading the team of scientists was Teepu Siddique, the 64-year-old neurologist who has devoted much of his adult life to trying to understand and cure the illness.

 

What’s more, it might one day also help treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

From www.socialsecurity.gov - April 20, 2012 12:38 AM

Social Security has an obligation to provide benefits quickly to applicants whose medical conditions are so serious that their conditions obviously meet disability standards. 

Compassionate Allowances (CAL) are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that invariably qualify under the Listing of Impairments based on minimal objective medical information. Compassionate Allowances allow Social Security to quickly target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly.
