Isifo sikaParkinson sisifo esihamba phambili semithambo-luvo esonakalisa inkqubo ye-nervous system. Le meko ichaphazela ikakhulu abantu abadala abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65.

I-Parkinson's Foundation iqikelela ukuba iya kuba ihlala nesi sifo ngo-2020.

I-Parkinson's inokubangela imeko ebizwa ngokuba sisifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson. Le meko iphawulwe ngokuhla kokucinga, ukuqiqa, kunye nokusombulula iingxaki.

Uqikelelo lwama-50 ukuya kuma-80 epesenti yabantu abaneParkinson ekugqibeleni baya kuba nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sesifo sikaParkinson.

Ngawaphi amanqanaba esifo sengqondo sikaParkinson?

Nangona isifo sika-Parkinson uqobo sahlulwe ngokwamanqanaba amahlanu, isifo sengqondo esiyi-Parkinson asiqondwa kakuhle.

Izifundo zibonise ukuba isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikhona malunga neepesenti ezingama-83 zabo basaphila nesi sifo emva kweminyaka engama-20.

I-Weill Institute yeNeurosciences iqikelela ixesha eliqhelekileyo ukusuka ekuqaleni kweengxaki zentshukumo eParkinson ukuya ekuphuhliseni isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo imalunga neminyaka eli-10.

Ukuziphatha okubonakalayo kwisifo sengqondo sikaParkinson

Njengoko isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo siqhubeka, ukulawula ukudideka, ukudideka, ukuphazamiseka, kunye nokunyanzeliswa kunokuba yinto ephambili yokhathalelo.

Ezinye izigulana ziba nemibono okanye zikhohliswe njengengxaki yesifo sikaParkinson. Ezi zinokuba zoyike kwaye zidimaze. Phantse abo banesi sifo banokuzifumana.

Eyona nto intle ukuyenza xa unakekela umntu ohlangabezana nemibono okanye ulahlekiso olusuka kwisifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson kukuzigcina uzolile kwaye unciphise uxinzelelo.

Qaphela iimpawu zabo kunye nento abayenzayo ngaphambi kokuba babonakalise iimpawu zokubona izinto emva koko bazise ugqirha wabo.

Esi sifo sinokuba ngumceli mngeni ngakumbi kubanonopheli. Izigulana zisenokungakwazi ukuzinakekela okanye zishiywe zodwa.

Ezinye zeendlela zokwenza ukhathalelo lube lula zibandakanya:

• ukunamathela kwindlela yesiqhelo xa kunokwenzeka
• kukuthuthuzela ngakumbi emva kwazo naziphi na iinkqubo zonyango
• ukunciphisa iziphazamiso
• usebenzisa amakhethini, izibane zasebusuku, kunye newotshi ukunceda ukunamathela kwishedyuli yokulala rhoqo
• ukukhumbula ukuba isimilo sisizathu sesi sifo hayi umntu

Zithini iimpawu zesifo sengqondo esiyingozi sikaParkinson?

Ezona mpawu zixhaphakileyo zesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson zibandakanya:

• utshintsho kumdla wokutya
• utshintsho kumanqanaba amandla
• ukudideka
• ukukhohlisa
• Iingcamango eziphambeneyo
• nemibono

• ukuphazamiseka kokulala

Isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo seL Lewy ngokuchasene nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson

Ukuchongwa kwe-Lewy dementia yomzimba (i-LBD) kubandakanya isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo kunye nemizimba yeLeyy (DLB) kunye nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson. Iimpawu kuzo zombini ezi zixilongo zingafana.

Isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo seLeyy sisifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo esibangelwa ziidiphozithi ezingaqhelekanga zeprotheyini ebizwa ngokuba yi-alpha-synuclein kwingqondo. Imizimba ye-Lewy ikwabonwa kwisifo sika-Parkinson.

Ukungqubana kweempawu phakathi kwesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo seLeby kunye nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson kubandakanya iimpawu zokuhamba, izihlunu eziqinileyo, kunye neengxaki zokucinga nokuqiqa.

Oku kubonakala ngathi kubonisa ukuba banokunxulunyaniswa nokungaqhelekanga okufanayo, nangona uphando oluninzi luyafuneka ukuqinisekisa oko.

Isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sesifo sikaParkinson

Izigaba zamva zesifo sika-Parkinson zineempawu ezibi kakhulu ezinokufuna uncedo lokuhambahamba, ukhathalelo lwexesha, okanye isitulo esinamavili. Umgangatho wobomi unokuhla ngokukhawuleza.

Umngcipheko wosulelo, ukungakwazi ukuzibamba, inyumoniya, ukuwa, ukuqaqanjelwa sisisu kunye nokuxinana kunyuka.

Ukhathalelo lwempilo, ukukhumbula, uncedo lwezempilo lwasekhaya, oonontlalontle, kunye nabacebisi abaxhasayo banokuba luncedo kwinqanaba elizayo.

Ukulindela ubomi kunye nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson

Isifo sikaParkinson ngokwaso asibulali, kodwa iingxaki zinokubakho.

Uphando lubonakalisile izinga lokusinda eliphakathi malunga nokuxilongwa kwaye abo banesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson babenomndilili wobomi obuncitshisiweyo malunga.

Kukho phakathi kwesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo kunye nomngcipheko owandayo wokufa, kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba uphile iminyaka emininzi nesi sifo.

Sifumana njani isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sesifo sikaParkinson?

Akukho vavanyo lunye olunokufumanisa isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo se-Parkinson. Endaweni yoko, oogqirha bathembele kuthotho okanye indibanisela yovavanyo kunye nezalathi.

Ugqirha wakho wemithambo-luvo uya kukufumanisa ukuba une-Parkinson emva koko alandelele ukuqhubela phambili kwakho. Banokubeka iliso kwiimpawu zesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo. Njengoko usiya ukhula, umngcipheko wokuba nesifo sengqondo esiyingozi sikaParkinson uyanda.

Ugqirha wakho kunokwenzeka ukuba enze uvavanyo rhoqo ukubeka esweni imisebenzi yakho yokuqonda, ukukhumbula inkumbulo kunye nempilo yengqondo.

Yintoni ebangela isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo seParkinson?

Umthunywa wamachiza kwingqondo ebizwa ngokuba yi-dopamine unceda ukulawula nokulungelelanisa ukunyakaza kwemisipha. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, isifo sika-Parkinson sitshabalalisa iiseli zemithambo-luvo ezenza i-dopamine.

Ngaphandle kwalo mthunywa weekhemikhali, iiseli zemithambo-luvo azinakho ukuthumela imiyalelo emzimbeni ngokufanelekileyo. Oku kubangela ukulahleka kwemisipha kunye nokulungelelanisa. Abaphandi abasazi isizathu sokuba ezi seli zengqondo zinyamalale.

Isifo sikaParkinson sibangela notshintsho olukhulu kwinxalenye yengqondo yakho elawula intshukumo.

Abo banesifo sika-Parkinson bahlala befumana iimpawu zeemoto njengophawu lokuqala lwemeko. Iinyikima zezinye zeempawu zokuqala zesifo sikaParkinson.

Njengokuba isifo siqhubeka kwaye sisasazeka kwingqondo yakho, sinokuchaphazela amalungu engqondo yakho anoxanduva lwemisebenzi yengqondo, inkumbulo kunye nokugweba.

Ixesha elingaphezulu, ingqondo yakho ayinakukwazi ukusebenzisa ezi ndawo ngokufanelekileyo njengokuba zazisenza ngaphambili. Ngenxa yoko, ungaqala ukufumana iimpawu zesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sesifo sikaParkinson.

Zeziphi izinto ezinobungozi zokuphuhlisa isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson?

Unomngcipheko okhulayo wokuba nesifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo sikaParkinson ukuba:

• ungumntu onepipi
• umdala
• unokukhubazeka kwengqondo okukhona
• uneempawu ezibi kakhulu zokukhubazeka kweemoto, ezinje
  njengokuqina kunye nokuphazamiseka kokuhamba
