Introduction to Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects cognitive and motor functions. It is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. Named after Friedrich H. Lewy, the scientist who discovered abnormal protein deposits in the brain, LBD is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed due…
Pathophysiology of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra region of the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate movement, so a decrease in dopamine levels leads to the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s Disease. Symptoms…
Overview of Parkinson Disease Survival Rate Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Understanding the survival rate of individuals with Parkinson’s disease is crucial for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Research indicates that the overall survival rate for individuals with Parkinson’s disease is influenced by various factors, including age…
Overview of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the nervous system. It is characterized by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, leading to impaired motor function and other symptoms. The condition typically develops slowly over time and is more common in older adults, although it can also affect…
Overview of Parkinson disease early stages Parkinson disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It typically begins with subtle symptoms that may go unnoticed or be attributed to other causes. Understanding the early stages of Parkinson disease is crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention. Common early symptoms: Tremors: Involuntary shaking of a body…
Overview of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is characterized by symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. The disease results from the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to a decrease in dopamine levels. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays…
Benefits of Baba Ramdev Yoga for Parkinson’s Disease Baba Ramdev, a renowned yoga guru from India, has developed a series of yoga practices that can offer numerous benefits for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease: Causes, Symptoms, and Progression Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. It develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. As the disease progresses, the tremor may spread to other parts of the body and become more pronounced. The exact cause of Parkinson’s disease…
Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It is characterized by a gradual loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, which leads to symptoms such as: Tremors: Involuntary shaking of a limb, commonly seen in the hands. Bradykinesia: Slowness of movement, making everyday tasks more challenging. Rigidity: Stiffness…
The Significance of the Color Ribbon in Raising Awareness for Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. One way to raise awareness and show support for those living with Parkinson’s is through the use of a specific color ribbon – silver. The silver ribbon has become a symbol…
