Walk-A-Thon
Hand in Hand, Linking Lives for Parkinson’s
The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) Nebraska Chapter is sponsoring a series of statewide fundraising events during the month of April to highlight Parkinson’s Awareness Month. “Nebraska has the highest number of citizens per capita with Parkinson's Disease in the nation, which is why raising public awareness through education is a priority,” Lisa Brovold, coordinator for the APDA Information and Referral Center, noted. “Among the neurological diseases, Parkin-son’s is second only to Alzheimer’s in occurrence and it affects more people than multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig’s’ disease (ALS) combined.” Parkinson’s Awareness Month is highlighted by the third annual Hand in Hand, Linking Lives for Parkinson's event, an evening fundraising event scheduled for April 24, 2010, at the Embassy Suites in La Vista. The evening will include a formal dinner, live and silent auction, and raffle. All funds raised will stay in Nebraska and directly benefit the organiza-tion’s educational and support group initiatives. The Honorary Chairs are Joan Squires and Thomas Fay. This year, the 2010 honoree will be Kenneth Follett, MD, PhD, Chief of the Section of Neurosurgery for the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Follett has been instrumental in the medical management of Parkinson’s Disease through the Deep Brain Stimulation surgical procedure, as well as his participation in Parkinson’s research. In addition to the Hand in Hand event held in Omaha, events will be held across the state. “We hope gatherings such as these will grow each year, and become annual events,” Brovold added. “With 1.5 million people in the U.S affected by Parkinson’s, the need to raise public awareness of the disease through the work of the Ne-braska APDA Chapter and Information & Referral Center as well as the local support groups has never been greater.” For more information, please contact the Nebraska Chapter office at (402) 392-2732.

THIRD ANNUAL PARKINSON’S SYMPOSIUM:
“BACK TO THE BASICS” Sandhills Convention Center
2102 South Jeffers North Platte, Nebraska We are excited to present the Third Annual Parkinson’s Symposium! A unique sympo-sium focusing on the basics of the disease, diagnosis and management will take place on Friday, May 21, 2010 in North Platte, Nebraska. An exciting forum of speakers will be lectur-ing to both medical professionals and community participants. One conference setting will host physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physical, occupational and speech therapists, while another conference will target patients, spouses, family and caregivers. Dr. Katherine Widnell, a Movement Disorder Specialist from Wichita, Kansas, will instruct the attendees on the clinical diagnosis, UPDRS and other Parkison’s scales and treatment of the disease. The host moderator and neurologist, Dr. Jose Cardenas will address the vari-ous imposters and impersonators of Parkinson’s disease since it is misdiagnosed one out of five times. Dr. Maureen Leehey, Movement Disorder Specialist from Colorado will discuss the non-motor symptoms associated with the disease but not always recognized. A special First Person Parkinson’s panel comprised of four people with Parkinson’s at different stages of the disease will complete the program.
Look for the brochure in April!

The nervous system of the body is very complex. Of course, we know that the central nervous system, of which the brain is a part, is affected in Parkin‐son’s disease. But the effects go beyond the changes in movement and posture that we easily recognize. An‐other part of the nervous system that is responsible for controlling functions of the body that are generally not voluntary (heart rate, digestion, salivation, perspiration etc.) can also be affected. When that happens, some patients with Parkinson’s disease find themselves dizzy because of changes in their blood pressure. In some per‐sons the blood pressure drops too low and may predis‐pose them to injury secondary to falls. This problem oc‐curs with higher frequency in older patients. There are three types of low blood pressure (also called “hypotension”) that may occur in persons with Parkinson’s disease. The first type is related to changes in position. Most of us have experienced that light‐headed feeling when we stand up from a sitting or lying position too quickly. This can occur more frequently and symptoms can be more pronounced in a Parkinson’s pa‐tient who has changes to the part of the nervous system that helps regulate blood pressure. Normally, the body is able to compensate for positional changes by increas‐ing heart‐rate and changing the tone of the blood ves‐sels. When this doesn’t happen adequately, the blood pools low in the body, and the organs (including the brain) temporarily get less blood and oxygen. This causes symptoms such as dizziness, bodily dissociation (when a person feels like they are not in their body), dis‐tortions in hearing, lightheadedness, headache, blurred or dimmed vision (possibly to the point of momentary blindness), numbness/tingling and in extreme cases fainting. For persons who experience frequent dizziness when they change position, the obvious recommenda‐tion is to make sure that those changes are made slowly, and in stages to give the body time to adjust to the change in blood flow direction that occurs. The second common cause of low blood pressure in persons with Parkinson’s disease is ingesting food. Be‐lieve it or not, simply eating a meal can cause a signifi‐cant enough decrease in blood pressure to pre‐dispose a person to falling and injury. In people who have Parkin‐son’s disease, this type of low blood pressure occurs more commonly than the positional type described above. In fact, half of the cases of unexplained fainting in Parkinson’s patients are due to blood pressure changes related to the ingestion of food! The reason this
occurs is that after a meal is eaten, the body sends a large amount of blood to the intestines to aid in the di‐gestive process. This happens normally in the Parkin‐son’s patient, but the ability of the body to make changes to compensate for that shunting of the blood away from other organs is impaired, so dizziness and other symptoms of low blood pressure occur. There are several strategies to help alleviate symptoms. The first is to change the make‐up of the meal to make sure that both the fat content and the carbohydrate content are relatively low. Another recommendation is rather than sitting down to 2 or 3 large meals, eat smaller quantities of food throughout the day. Both of these strategies de‐crease the incidence of low blood pressure. The third cause of low blood pressure is the use of medications used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Several drugs, including levodopa, have been shown to cause decreases in blood pressure in certain individuals. If a new drug has recently been added to the patient’s regi‐men, or if the dose of a drug was increased and the symptoms of low blood pressure started soon after, it is possible that symptoms could be alleviated simply by decreasing the dose or substituting another medication that does not cause the same side‐effects in a particular person. The good news is that even though a drop in blood pressure in Parkinson’s patients is relatively common, there is no need to be alarmed unless symptoms are pre‐sent and hard to control. Even if taking blood pressure readings before and after a meal or while a person is standing versus sitting or lying down causes a noticeable change in blood pressure, unless the patient can feel the change and it puts them at risk, there is no need to inter‐vene. If symptoms are present, there are some simple changes that can be made to try to alleviate them. For instance, increasing sodium and water intake, mild or moderate exercise (heavy exercise can make the situa‐tion worse), avoidance of alcohol, avoidance of warm or humid weather and elevating the head of the bed are all options that may help. There are also medications that have been used for patients whose symptoms are more severe, including midodrine (which causes the blood ves‐sels to constrict thereby increasing pressure) and fludri‐cortisone (which increases blood volume). Make sure that any symptoms are confirmed to be due to low blood pressure before making any of the changes above by seeing a health care provider.

Gianpaola Maestrone, DVM, known to all in the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) as Paul, died suddenly on October 5 on Staten Island. Dr. Maestrone was APDA’s director of scientific and medical affairs for 21 years. “Dr. Maestrone brought a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the position,” said APDA president Joel A. Miele, Sr., PE. “He was a Fulbright Scholar, industry research leader, and holder of four U.S. patents before joining our organization and immediately put his talents and creativity to work to expand and strengthen it.” Under Dr. Maestrone’s direction, APDA created nine Centers for Advanced Research, 60 Information and Referral Centers, expanded its support group network to more than 1,000 and funded millions of dollars in Parkinson’s disease research and patient/caregiver support and education programs. Dr. Maestrones’ interests were global in scope. At the time of his death, he was president of the World Parkinson Disease Association, which he created in 1998. One of his proudest awards came in 2005 when the Italian town of Vigevano presented him its emeritus Citizen Medal for his contributions to the people with Parkinson’s disease. He leaves his wife of 53 years, Sophia, a son and two daughters, seven grandchildren and two great grand-children.
