2024 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony
Held at the Los Angeles Film Institute
30-year-old Zhang Zetian
As a female entrepreneur
The ceremony was present
And on social platforms
Photos of the event were shared
Zhang Zetian said
Although I am a liberal arts student
But it has always been important to promote human development
Fascinated by the frontiers of technology
She was also deeply moved by a scientist's speech
"They gave their lives to their experience
sacrificed the companionship of the family
In exchange for the progress of all mankind"
Zhang Zetian posted on social platforms. Photo/Zhang Zetian's social account
meantime
She revealed her family medical history through social platforms
"Actually, I also have Parkinson's genes in my family
When I'm eating too much caffeine or not getting enough sleep
The thumbs are starting to shake a little."
This topic rushed to the top of the hot search
Attracted the attention of netizens
"Caffeine intake is protective for Parkinson's patients
But excessive intake can cause
Problems with anxiety, hand tremors, heart palpitations, insomnia, etc
It's bad for the patient."
For Zhang Zetian's above performance
Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Neurology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University,
Shu Min, a member of the board of directors of the Hubei Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Society, explained to Jiupai News
"Parkinson's disease in older people is more often caused by
Aging or environmental factors
For younger patients
Genetic factors are the most important"
Understanding Parkinson's - let you not be afraid of "Parkinson".
There is a disease
Known as the "Silent Killer"
It's called Parkinson's
This disease is second only to
Tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
It has become a threat to the health of middle-aged and elderly people
The third biggest "killer"
April 11 is World Parkinson's Disease Day
According to statistics
There are about 4.5 million people living with Parkinson's disease worldwide
Speaking of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease
I believe that the first reaction in most people's minds
It's "hand shaking"
In fact
Parkinson's disease is more than just "hand shaking"
Let's find out↓↓
Hand tremors ≠ Parkinson's disease
Usually everyone thinks
Older people with hand tremors are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
In fact, hand tremors ≠ Parkinson's disease
There are many causes of hand tremors
The doctor said
Hand tremors are evident in patients with Parkinson's disease
Resting tremor is usually present
Other words
Hand tremors are noticeable when sitting and resting
Hand tremors will be significantly reduced when working
Typically presents with the thumb and index finger
"Rubbing pills" or "counting money" movements
Usually presents with the first onset of one limb
It is aggravated by nervousness or agitation
Hu Yongsheng, Chief Physician of the Department of Functional Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University: There are two types of Parkinson's disease symptoms, one is motor symptoms and the other is non-motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms such as early loss of smell, insomnia, constipation, some mood changes, and even cognitive changes in some people are relatively early manifestations of Parkinson's disease.
The presence of these symptoms should be suspicious of Parkinson's disease
Hand tremor: The general symptom of hand tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease is resting tremor, that is, the hand tremor is obvious when the patient is sitting and resting, and the hand tremor is significantly reduced when working. Typical manifestations are "pill-rubbing" or "banknote-counting" movements of the thumb and index finger.
Limitation of limb movement: Frequent feeling of stiffness, muscle tightness, inflexibility, and slower movements, such as difficulty buttoning and tying shoes, smaller and slower steps when walking, and reduced limb coordination arm swing.
Hyposmia: About 90% of people with Parkinson's disease develop symptoms of hyposmia at an early stage. Some patients may have a sense of smell 3~7 years before the onset of motor symptoms. It is one of the typical symptoms in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.
Sleep disorder: Characterized by frequent yelling, punching and kicking while sleeping, this is a specific sleep disorder - rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, also known as "dream disorder".
Writing becomes smaller: Long-term persistent writing gets smaller and smaller, also known as the "lowercase sign".
"Mask face": In the early stage, it often manifests as a decrease in facial expressions, a decrease in smiles, a decrease in blinking and eye movements, and a "mask face" in the later stage.
Reduced voice: Usually manifested as a deep, slurred voice, a decrease in volume, and a decrease in clarity.
Constipation: People with Parkinson's disease often have difficulty having a bowel movement if they don't eat special foods or medications. Studies have found that patients with Parkinson's disease are 3 times more likely to have constipation than those without Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is not a disease of old age!
presently
Parkinson's disease has emerged
Younger incidence
Why do young people get Parkinson's disease?
The study found
Parkinson's disease occurs in young people
Closely related to genetic factors
Doctor's introduction
In addition to genetic factors
Irregular lifestyle, drinking, smoking, tiredness, etc
will increase the risk of Parkinson's disease↓↓
4 tips to self-test whether there is a risk of Parkinson's disease
If Parkinson's disease is suspected
You can self-test through the following 4 actions
Action one
Thumb and index finger to finger
Observe whether the movements of the two hands are coordinated
Action two
Whether there is a panicked gait during walking
(also known as the "penguin gait")
The stride length and width are shortened, and the torso is leaned forward
It's easy to stop the "car" when you go forward
This belongs to the common Parkinson's gait in neurology
Action three
Straighten your arms and hands
Flip the palms and backs of your hands
See if there is a pause in the movement of both hands
or a decrease in amplitude
Action four
Hit the ground with your heel and lift one toe on one side
Repeat on tiptoe
Observe if there is a pause,
The trend of smaller and smaller amplitudes
There is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease
Other words
Once Parkinson's disease is diagnosed
It requires lifelong treatment
How can Parkinson's disease be prevented?
↓ These 6 points should be kept in mind ↓
High-risk groups with familial Parkinson's disease should be given high attention;
Patients with arteriosclerotic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.) should strictly control the disease, which is conducive to reducing brain damage and enhancing brain function;
Avoid exposure to toxic substances (herbicides, heavy metals, etc.);
avoid or reduce the use of drugs that induce parkina tremens;
The diet should be light, with a green diet, and eat less high-fat food;
Exercise regularly, use your brain moderately, and sleep and rest regularly.
Exercise styles suitable for people with Parkinson's disease
aerobics
Studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help improve cardiorespiratory endurance and improve the physical condition of people with Parkinson's disease.
Aerobic exercise includes the following 3 categories: 1. Aerobic exercise related to recreation, sports, and leisure. 2. Aerobic activity in daily life, which includes physical activity related to work and family. 3. Traditional Chinese fitness techniques, such as Tai Chi, Wufowl Opera, Baduanjin, etc.
Resistance movement
Resistance exercise refers to the active or passive movement of the body's major muscle groups to increase muscle strength and flexibility without causing excessive fatigue.
These include resistance exercises using exercise equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, tension machines, resistance bands, etc., as well as sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups without exercise equipment.
Stretching exercises
Stretching exercises for people with Parkinson's disease stretch muscles and ligaments to improve balance and coordination. There are two types of motion: static and dynamic.
In static stretching, people with Parkinson's disease may use appropriate stretching movements to stretch a specific muscle, such as shoulder press and arm abduction stretch (shoulder muscles), seated forward bend (lumbar muscles), seated leg press, and straight knee leg (leg muscles).
In dynamic stretching, people with Parkinson's disease can choose appropriate movements and actively stretch specific muscles repeatedly.
