Tune in to the next instalment of The Michael J Fox Foundation’s Third Thursday webinar series for an expert discussion on sex, love and Parkinson’s

The latest episode of The Michael J Fox Foundation’s Third Thursdays webinar series, which will focus on sex, love and Parkinson’s, will air on Thursday February 20 at 12:00 ET.

In this free hour-long webinar, experts will discuss sexual changes in people with Parkinson’s, how the condition impacts intimate relationships – and strategies and treatments that can help. Listeners are also encouraged to submit questions throughout.

Sexual problems – whether caused by the condition, medication side effects, or body image – are common in people with Parkinson’s. This can range from the physical to the emotional, and can affect men and women in different ways.

Frequent difficulties in people with Parkinson’s include decreased sexual desire, compulsive sexual behaviour or hypersexuality, arousal problems and physical limitations in maintaining sexual positions.

It is nevertheless possible to continue having healthy sexual relationships. Experts recommend the key is to have open communication with both your partner and doctor, who can help find solutions and treatments.

To listen to the webinar, you must register here up to 15 minutes before its scheduled air time. If you cannot make the live broadcast, you can visit the archive to access a recording of the show.

Heart problems linked to dementia risk in Parkinson’s disease, say researchers

Researchers at the University of Turin, Italy, have identified that Parkinson’s-related cardiovascular problems may increase a patient’s risk of developing dementia within five years. According to the study, it is estimated that more than half of people with Parkinson’s experience an impairment of the autonomic nervous system – which helps to regulate bodily functions such as blood pressure, body temperature, respiration and heart rate. The researchers investigated the effects of this impairment on key functional Parkinson’s outcomes – including dementia, falls and postural instability – by observing 65 patients at the university’s movement disorders centre and following up after five years. Evaluations throughout the study assessed patients’ cognitive function, automatic symptoms and other motor and non-motor features. In the findings, which were published in the ‘Journal of Neurology’, the researchers noted that worse cardiovascular assessment scores were “associated with a sevenfold higher risk of developing dementia”.

A “revolutionary” step in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease?

Scientists in China have developed a method to help improve stem cell research in mice models of Parkinson’s – which could potentially lead to promising new treatments. The researchers, based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, identified two cell surface markers of dopamine neurons, which are reduced in Parkinson’s. They injected cells with these markers into the brains of the mice and found that this resulted in “higher therapeutic potency” for improving motor symptoms of the condition. As part of their research, the team also worked to control the variability of donor cells, to help improve therapeutic outcomes for Parkinson’s cell therapy. The researchers, whose study was published in ‘The Journal of Clinical Investigation’, described the findings as a “revolutionary step on the road towards more effective and safer stem cell therapies”.

Could frequent nightmares be an early sign of Parkinson’s disease?

A new study has suggested that experiencing recurrent nightmares and bad dreams could be an early symptom of Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, used data from an existing US study that followed 3818 men, aged 67 or older, over a period of 12 years. Participants who reported experiencing bad dreams at least once a week were followed up. During the follow up, 91 people were diagnosed with Parkinson’s. The results suggested that participants who had frequent bad dreams were twice as likely to develop the condition as those who did not. Commenting on the study, lead author Dr Abidemi Otaiku said: “While we need to carry out further research, identifying the significance of bad dreams and nightmares could indicate that individuals who experience changes to their dreams in older age – without any obvious trigger – should seek medical advice.”
