Answered on 23rd May '24

Parkinson's patients keep their eyes closed due to four reasons:

  • Parkinson Disease reduces retinal cell in the eye which rely on dopamine to process and perceive the colours.
  • Patient cannot adjust rapid changes in light.
  • Patient have dry eyes which troubles them with depth perception.
  • Patient also get blurry vision.

Parkinson's disease can disrupt eye movements, causing difficulties in coordination and initiation. This oculomotor dysfunction, coupled with symptoms like bradykinesia, may lead individuals to close their eyes. This adaptive behavior helps reduce visual input, stabilizing gaze, improving balance, and mitigating the risk of falls.

The motor symptoms, such as tremors and bradykinesia, can affect coordination and balance. Closing the eyes may provide a sense of stability by minimizing visual distractions and allowing them to better navigate their surroundings.

Autologous stem cell transplant death rate?

Male | 56

The mortality rate for autologous stem cell transplants can differ based on a number of variables that include the patient’s general health, condition treated and specific procedure details. This is why it’s crucial to discuss such issues with a hematologist-oncologist or transplant specialist who can provide personalized details based on the actual medical case. They may present possible data and evaluate the risks-benefits according to separate health condition of this patient or form of treatment for certain illness. It is important to have a broad understanding from an expert in this area.

What is stem cell collection procedure?

Female | 56

The process of stem cell harvesting, also commonly referred to as collection of the stems cells involves retrieval of stem cells from either bone marrow; peripheral blood or umbilical cord Blood. The process is different depending on the origin; for instance, bone marrow aspiration takes place during general anesthesia and drawing peripheral blood is comparable to donating blood. Consultation with a hematologist or stem cell transplant specialist is necessary to receive comprehensive information and appropriate advice concerning the chosen method of collecting multiple types of stems.
