AsignificantnumberofpatientsadmittedtotheICUwilldevelopmyopathy.
DefinitivediagnosiscanbemadebyEMG,butoftentheclinicalsetting,routineneurologic examination,andstandardlaboratorytestingaresufficienttoruleoutothercorrectablecausesand establishCIM/CIPasthelikelyculpritintheseveryillpatients.
Thereisnospecifictreatment.Thebestapproachistotrytopreventthedevelopmentofthese symptomswithearlymobilization,physicaltherapy,andadequatenutrition,buttheevidencesupporting thesemodalitiesisnotasrobustaswewouldlike.
Patientsusuallyrecoverwithinweekstomonthsofdischarge,butabouthalfwillhavesomedegreeof

YourPatient:Suzanne,a71-year-oldfamilypracticenurse,comestoyourofficeandasks
youtohelpherwithatremorinherrighthandthathasgraduallybecomequitebothersome. Oneglanceatherslow,shufflinggaittellsyousomethingiswrong.Whatarethenextsteps inherevaluationandmanagement?
ParkinsonDisease
AfterAlzheimerdisease,Parkinsondisease(PD)isthemostcommonneurodegenerativedisorder, affectingmorethan6millionpeopleworldwide,anditsprevalenceisincreasingrapidly.Whateverfield ofmedicineyouchoosetopursue,youwillhavepatientswithPD.Althoughcurrenttreatmentdoesnot alterthenaturalhistoryofPD,byrecognizingthediseaseandinstitutingtreatmentearlyonyoucanhelp patientsavoidunnecessarytestingandgreatlyimprovetheirqualityoflife.
Box13.1
WhyistheprevalenceofParkinsondiseaserising?Partlythisisduetotheagingpopulation andimproveddiagnosis,particularlyofpatientsintheearlystagesofthedisease.However, thereisalsoconcernthatenvironmentalexposures,suchaspesticides,herbicides,heavy metals,andvariousindustrialsolvents,maybeplayingaroleaswell.
Onequickpearl:YouprobablythinkofPDasadiseaseoftheelderly,andagecertainlyisamajorrisk factor.Itaffectsonlyabout40/100,000peoplebetweentheagesof40and50years,whereasitaffects over1000/100,000peoplebetweentheagesof70and79yearsandover2000/100,000overtheageof 80years.However,becauseitcanoccurinyoungadults,don’tbetooquicktodismissseeminglybenign neurologiccomplaints,suchastremor(seebelow),inyoungerpatientswithoutfirstperformingacareful evaluation.
RiskfactorsbesidesageincludeafamilyhistoryofPDandtheenvironmentalfactorsmentionedinBox
13.1above.FamilialformsofPDarerare,andmostcasesappeartobesporadic.Thejuryisstillouton whetherrepetitiveheadtraumaisariskfactorforPD.Depressionhasbeencitedasapossibleriskfactor, butthisassociationmayonlyrepresenttheoverlapoftwocommondisorders.
Etiology
TheunderlyingcauseofPDisnotknown.Thepathologyinvolvesthelossofprimarilydopaminergic neuronswithinthesubstantianigra(apartofthebasalganglialocatedinthemidbrain),aswellasthe destructionofneurons,bothdopaminergicandotherwise,inotherareasofthebrain.Lewybodies,which areeosinophiliccytoplasmicinclusionbodiescontainingtheproteinalphasynuclein,canbefoundinthe affectedregionsofthebrain.Theroleofalphasynucleininthehealthybrainisnotwellunderstood,butit isbelievedthatitcanbetoxictonervecellswhenpresentinaberrantconformations.

ClinicalPresentation
PDcausesfourclassicphysicalsignsthataretheresultofinvolvementoftheextrapyramidalmotor system,thepartofthemotorsysteminvolvedinmodulationandregulationofmovement:
Tremor Rigidity Bradykinesia Posturalinstability
Ifyoulikemnemonics,tryTRAP(yes,werecognizethatthereisnoAinthelistabove,butneverdoubt theingenuityofneurologistswho,inthiscase,substituteakinesiafortheoftenmoreaccurate bradykinesia).
Box13.2TheExtrapyramidalMotorSystem
Theterm“extrapyramidal”distinguishesthispartofthemotorsystemfromthepyramidal system.Thetractsofthepyramidalsystem(thecorticospinalandcorticobulbartracts)begin inthemotorcortexanddescendtotheirtargetsthroughthemedullarypyramids(hencethe name).Theextrapyramidalsystemiseverythingelsethatimpactsmovement,andincludes neuronswithinthebasalgangliaandcerebellum.Ingeneral,thepyramidalsystemcauses voluntarymovement,whereastheextrapyramidalsystemcausesinvoluntarymovement, indirectlyregulatingandmodulatingtheactivityofthepyramidalsystem.Seepage18fora morecomprehensivereviewofmotorsystemanatomy.
ThetremorofPDisclassicallydescribedasa“pillrolling”tremor.Itisprimarilyarestingtremor, mosteasilyseenintheupperextremities,butitcanalsobepostural(i.e.,mostevidentwhenthearmsare outstretched).TremoristhepresentingsymptominthemajorityofpatientswithPD.Ittendstobegin unilaterallyandthenspreadscontralaterallyoveracourseofmonthstoyears.
https://t.me/med1917
TherestingtremorofPDismostoftenevidentasapillrollingtremorinthehand,wherethefingersand thumbappeartoberollingapillbetweenthem.
Rigidityreferstoresistancetopassivemovementofanextremity.InpatientswithPD,rigidityisoften, butnotalways,feltonexaminationascogwheeling,ajerkystop-and-start(ratherthanasmooth) resistancetomotion.Contralateralactivationmaneuvers(suchasinstructingthepatienttorapidlyopen andclosetheirunaffectedhand)canhelpbringoutcogwheelrigidityonexamination,especiallyinmild cases.
