Parkinson’s disease is a progressive condition whereby the signals communicated between the brain and nervous system are disrupted. A number of impairments can occur after this disruption, many of which relate to movement. However, problems with movement are not the only warning symptoms indicating a possible risk. It is not commonly known that the early […]

Study indicates an amyloid link between melanoma and Parkinson’s disease
On the surface, Parkinson's disease -; a neurodegenerative disorder -; and melanoma -; a type of skin cancer -; do not appear to have much in common. However, for nearly 50 years, doctors have recognized that Parkinson's disease patients are more likely to develop melanoma than the general population. Now, scientists report a molecular link […]
Type 2 Diabetes Linked to Increased Risk for Parkinson’s
New analyses of both observational and genetic data have provided “convincing evidence” that type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk for Parkinson’s disease. Dr Alastair Noyce “The fact that we see the same effects in both types of analysis separately makes it more likely that these results are real — that type 2 […]
Study: Type 2 diabetes can increase risk of Parkinson's disease
Research from Queen Mary University of London has concluded that there is convincing evidence that type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The same study found that there was also evidence that type 2 diabetes may contribute to faster disease progression in patients who already have Parkinson's. Treating people with […]
Parkinson’s disease – does your skin look like this? The hidden sign you may be missing
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that causes the brain to become progressively more damaged over time, said the NHS. You could be at risk of the neurodegenerative condition if you realise that your skin is feeling more oily than normal, it’s been revealed. Parkinson’s is caused by a loss of nerve cells in a specific […]
Molecule That Blocks & Reverses Parkinson’s Neurodegeneration Identified By Researchers
About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease every year, and about one percent of the world’s over-60 population is affected by the condition, making it the second most widely diagnosed neurodegenerative condition in the world. Scientists aren’t sure what causes Parkinson’s to develop, but the presence of toxic mechanisms including “Lewy bodies” made of […]
