Drug Induced Parkinsonism
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Since 1947 a number of chemists who used MPTP for legitimate purposes developed Parkinsonism. Final recognition that MPTP induces Parkinsonism came in 1982 when a batch of an illicit narcotic (MPPP) became contaminated to form MPTP and a group of users demonstrated profoundly disabling Parkinsonism. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition, which is characterised by both motor (movement) and non-motor symptoms. MPTP AND DRUG-INDUCED PARKINSON’S

Incidence and time trends of drug‐induced parkinsonism: A 30‐year population‐based study
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies of drug-induced parkinsonism remain limited. OBJECTIVES To investigate the incidence and time trends of drug-induced parkinsonism over 30 years in a geographically defined American population. METHODS We used the medical records-linkage system of the Rochester Epidemiology Project to identify all persons in Olmsted County, Minnesota, who received a screeni...
متن کاملDifferentiating drug-induced parkinsonism from Parkinson's disease: an update on non-motor symptoms and investigations.
Drug-induced parkinsonism is the second most common cause of parkinsonism after Parkinson's disease and their distinction has crucial implications in terms of management and prognosis. However, differentiating between these conditions can be challenging on a clinical ground, especially in the early stages. We therefore performed a review to ascertain whether assessment of non-motor symptoms, or...
متن کاملHigh intake of folic acid attenuates 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinsonism
Introduction: High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) might accelerate dopaminergic cell death through oxidative stress and excitotoxicity. Folate plays an important role in the control of plasma levels of Hcy. In this study, effect of supplementation with folic acid on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced Parkinsonism in rat and also serum level of Hcy was investigated. Methods: Rats were fed ...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of 123 I-FP-CIT SPECT in diagnosing drug-induced parkinsonism: a prospective study.
INTRODUCTION Drug-induced parkinsonism is a major type of parkinsonism in our setting. Symptoms usually disappear after discontinuation of the drug. However, they may persist in patients with a variant known as subclinical drug-exacerbated parkinsonism; early identification of this entity has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. The most widely used complementary test in this diag...
متن کاملB Vitamins Supplement Potentiates Antiparkinsonian Effect of Flunarizine: the Behavioral and Biochemical Evidences From 6-Hydroxydopamine Animal Model
Introduction: Prominent data indicate that flunarizine (flu), a calcium channel blocker, has neuroprotective effect. However, several authors have reported that the chronic use of flu can produce drug-induced Parkinsonism. Previously, we showed that B vitamins supplement (B com) has antiparkinsonian effect. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of pretreatment with flu ...
متن کاملE. C. T. and Drug Induced Parkinsonism
A cross-sectional evaluation of the presence of drug induced parkinsonian symptoms in hospitalized patients was done. Patients who had received two or more ECTs had lower scores of parkinsonism when compared to those who were net receiving ECT. Since the patient groups were comparable on parameters which would influence the occurrence and development of drug induced parkinsonism, the lowered sc...
