Navigating life with Parkinson's disease / Sotirios A. Parashos, Rose L. Wichmann. by Parashos, Sotirios A, author. New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2020. Subjects Parkinson's disease -- Patients -- Rehabilitation.   Self-care, Health. ISBN:  9780190877477 (paperback) 0190877472 (paperback) Description:  xxii, 326 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm Edition:  Second edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "It is hard to believe it has been only 7 years since the publication of our first edition. In this short time, so much has changed in what we know about Parkinson's disease and how to treat it. As I read through the first edition, I found much information was already out of date within 4 years from publication. New knowledge about the role of protein misfolding and how it leads to nerve cell damage in Parkinson's, about when and where the disease may be starting, about how it may progress and spread through the brain, about how it affects almost all aspects of body functions, about how all this new knowledge is shaping the quest for a cure, about how important exercise is, and about how the multidisciplinary approach to disease management changes the quality of life of people with Parkinson's has been accumulating at a dizzying pace. More than 200 years after the publication of Parkinson's An Essay on the Shaking Palsy and just over 50 years after the implementation of levodopa in Parkinson's treatment, it looks as though scientists are poised to make a breakthrough toward effective treatments of the disease itself, not just the symptoms, and paths that may eventually lead to a cure are now visible. Such progress would be impossible without the hard work of many researchers; the financial support of the corresponding government agencies; the advocacy of national and international Parkinson's organizations and the philanthropy of their donors; and the tireless efforts and open minds of the doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers caring for people with Parkinson's and their families. Above all, none of this progress would be possible without the active participation of people with Parkinson's and their families through advocacy, community engagement, and participation in clinical trials. To them we would like to extend a great "thank you"."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.833 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.833 Parashos Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.833 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.833 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.833 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.833 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
