Movement disorders neurologists Dr. Paarth Shah and Dr. Virgilio Gerald Evidente will be discussing in a panel discussion type of seminar the controversial issues regarding managing Parkinson’s at different stages.
The duo will discuss among others the following: (1) Should levodopa be started early or late in PD?; (2) Should elderly patients be put on dopamine agonists?; (3) How strong is the evidence for efficacy of supplements for PD?; (4) Are natural sources of levodopa better than synthetic levodopa pills?; (5) Can cannabis help PD symptoms and is it safe for PD?; (6) Should deep brain stimulation (DBS) be offered earlier in PD rather than later? If so, how early?

Presented by our moderator, Dr. Virgilio Gerald H. Evidente
This lecture discusses the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, meaning how and why the pathology occurs.
We also went into great details regarding the cell and gene therapies presently being employed in subjects with PD as well as new strategies that are close to entering the clinical pipeline. With regards to the former, both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are currently being tested for the safety and tolerability of this approach and efficacy trials are being planned following these safety trials assuming they are successful. With regards to gene therapies, both symptomatic and disease modifying trials was discussed.Support the show

Research has shown that the abnormal protein that accumulates in the cells in Parkinson’s Disease and leads to degeneration of cells is phosphorylated alpha synuclein. Dr. Padma Mahant will be discussing the different ways that alpha synuclein can be detected in different tissues, how these tests can be used to differentiate Parkinson’s disease from other parkinsonian syndromes, and the clinical trials that have focused on removing the pathological alpha synuclein from the brain and tissues. She will also discuss if removal of the alpha synuclein can potentially be the avenue of cure for Parkinson’s.

Urinary or Urologic Issues in Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonism
This webinar will discuss the various urinary symptoms that patients with Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism experience including frequency of urination, irritable bladder, urgency of urination, urination at night, urinary tract infections, etc. It will also discuss how the various Parkinson's medications affect the kidneys or urinary function, and the role of supplements in promoting urinary health. The importance of hydration in treating orthostatic hypotension (dizziness on standing or walking) and preventing common urinary issues in Parkinson's will also be tackled.

Memory & Cognitive Issues in Parkinson's and other movement disorders.
by Dr. Khashayar Dashtipour
Ask The Doctor: Questions From The Audience
by Dr. Virgilio Gerald H. Evidente, M.D. Director
The program aims to discuss how to recognize and treat cognitive issues in patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. It will also touch on the different kinds of cognitive impairment or dementia seen in patients with parkinsonism or tremor, and the tests that help determine the pattern of cognitive impairment. The program will also touch on risk factors for dementia, and the role of diet, supplements, exercise, and cognitive exercises in helping prevent or reduce chances of developing dementia. The role of vascular risk factors (like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or hyperlipidemia), head trauma, environmental toxins, and genetic risk factors will be tackled as well. Finally, clinical trials on ongoing therapies for dementia in Parkinson’s will be discussed.Support the show

Gastrointestinal symptoms of Parkinson's Disease by Dr. Pinky Agarwal, MD, FAAN
Ask The Doctor: Questions From The Audience by Dr. Virgilio Gerald H. Evidente, M.D. Director
The webinar will discuss common gastrointestinal issues that Parkinson's disease patients experience including: constipation, irritable bowel, nausea, bloating, poor appetite, reduced sense of smell or taste, drooling, abdominal pain
The absorption of PD medications, particularly levodopa, in relation to food will also be tackled. Alternative routes of medicine administration will be discussed for those with problems absorbing their PD medications; these include transdermal, inhalational, sublingual, and injected medications.
For those at risk for developing PD, the significance of nonmotor gastrointestinal symptoms will be discussed. The role of gut bacteria and other microorganisms in absorption of nutrients and medications will be tackled, as well as the symptoms and consequences of bacterial overgrowth.Support the show
