Fallbeispiele zur Therapie der fortgeschrittenen Parkinson-Erkrankung (UNI-MED Science) (German Edition)

By Wolfgang Jost
Noch vor wenigen Jahren fokussierten wir uns vorwiegend auf die Frühphase der Parkinson-Erkrankung, bedingt durch die großen Erfolge in Diagnostik, Differenzialdiagnostik und Initial-therapie.Hierdurch wird eine gute und stabile Einstellung über einen relativ langen Zeitraum erzielt. Erhebliche Probleme zeigen sich dann im weiteren Verlauf. Erfreulicherweise wurden auch hier Fortschritte erzielt. So liegen beispielsweise für die Tiefe Hirnstimulation sowie die intrajejunale L-Dopa Gabe gute kontrollierte Studien vor.Die Vielfalt der motorischen und nichtmotorischen Symptome, die Interdisziplinarität sowie die Individualität in dieser Phase der Erkrankung sind beeindruckend und stellen uns aber vor neue Herausforderungen. In diesem Buch möchten wir anhand von Fallbeispielen einige der Probleme und deren Lösungsansätze beim fortgeschrittenen Parkinson-Syndrom darstellen.

Wolfgang Jost’s book, “Fortgeschrittenes Parkinson-Syndrom: Probleme und Lösungsansätze” is an insightful read that delves into the challenges and solutions of advanced Parkinson’s disease. The book provides a comprehensive account of the motor and non-motor symptoms experienced in this phase of the disease, and the multidisciplinary approach that is required for effective management.

Jost’s book is a welcome addition to the literature on Parkinson’s disease, as it focuses on the complications that arise in the later stages of the disease. As the author notes, the initial phase of Parkinson’s, characterized by tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement, has been extensively studied, leading to effective treatments. However, as the disease progresses, patients develop more complex symptoms, including cognitive impairment, psychosis, and autonomic dysfunction, which can be challenging to manage.

The strength of Jost’s book lies in his use of real-life case studies to illustrate the various problems encountered in advanced Parkinson’s disease. These vignettes provide a human face to the disease, highlighting the difficulties faced by patients and their caregivers. Furthermore, Jost provides a detailed analysis of the different treatment options available, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.

Jost’s book is written in German, which may limit its accessibility to English-speaking readers. Nonetheless, the book is well-organized, with clear and concise language that is easy to understand. The author’s expertise in the field of Parkinson’s disease is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and patients alike.

In conclusion, “Fortgeschrittenes Parkinson-Syndrom: Probleme und Lösungsansätze” is an excellent book that sheds light on the complex issues faced by patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease. The author’s use of case studies provides a practical and relatable approach to understanding the disease, making it an invaluable resource for both healthcare professionals and patients.

If you or someone you know is living with advanced Parkinson’s disease, this book is an essential read. It offers valuable insights into how to effectively manage the disease and improve patients’ quality of life. Therefore, I would highly recommend purchasing a copy of this book or video to gain a better understanding of the challenges and solutions involved in treating advanced Parkinson’s disease.
