I Do It the S.A.F.E. Way: How I stay ahead of Parkinson's disease

Tom Gatses was diagnosed with ParkinsonÂ’s disease in 1999. Instead of allowing the disease to take over his body, he chose to fight the disease like he has learned to do all his life through martial arts. He has also been diagnosed with renal failure, and is currently undergoing dialysis treatment. This guide and examples tell an easy to understand story through a personal reflection on staying ahead of ParkinsonÂ’s Disease, as well as any other ailment or debilitating disease. This book examples how the author stays focused on the positive strategies to improve daily activities and daily life from the onset of the diagnosis through years of struggling with the disorder and dealing with the family.

This book describes how Tom has developed the S.A.F.E. Way of living. Through Support from families and doctors, through positive Attitude about living with the disease, to having Faith carry him through it all, and in Exercising not only his mind but his body when it actually improves his symptoms.

Description:
One of the frequent signs of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the presence of a progressive hypokinetic dysarthria. Numerous studies have since documented speech motor impairment, but attempts at quantifying any such changes longitudinally throughout the early course of the disease have been rare. In this study, a retrospective analysis of speech was conducted on two well-known individuals with PD and two matched controls to determine if certain acoustic measures were sensitive markers of early pathophysiologic changes or treatment response in PD. Acoustic analyses were conducted on samples of speech produced over a 10-year period surrounding the time of disease diagnosis. Analyses revealed that, for both PD cases, a decrease in fundamental frequency (F"0) variability during free speech was detected prior to clinical diagnosis. Changes in F"0 variability and voice onset time (VOT) were also detected upon the initiation of symptomatic treatment. In a second experiment, an acoustical analysis of speech production was conducted on four newly diagnosed persons with PD and four matched controls, using a standard speech examination protocol. The objective of this follow-up study was to provide corroborating evidence for the results of the first experiment. Analyses revealed that F"0 variability during picture description was diminished in the participants with PD relative to their matched controls. In addition, pause duration was greater in participants with PD; no changes in VOT were detected. These observations suggest that early changes in speech are prodromal signs detectable using certain acoustic measures. A decrease in F"0 variability appears to be particularly sensitive to the early progression of the disease and to the initiation of pharmacologic intervention.
