A 77-year-old retired school superintendent comes to your office, complaining of unsteady hands. He says that for the past six m

onths, when his hands are resting in his lap they shake uncontrollably. He says when he holds them out in front of his body the shaking diminishes, and when he uses his hands the shaking is also better. He also complains of some difficulty getting up out of his chair and walking around. He denies any recent illnesses or injuries. His past medical history is significant for high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, requiring a stent in the past. He has been married for more than 50 years and has five children and 12 grandchildren. He denies any tobacco, alcohol, or drug use. His mother died of a stroke in her 70s and his father died of a heart attack in his 60s. He has a younger sister who has arthritis problems. His children are all essentially healthy. On examination you see a fine, pill-rolling tremor of his left hand. His right shows less movement. His cranial nerve examination is normal. He has some difficulty rising from his chair, his gait is slow, and it takes him time to turn around to walk back toward you. He has almost no “arm swing” with his gait. What type of tremor is he most likely to have?

Answer:

The type of tremors identified in this case is early parkinson disease tremors.

Explanation:

To understand our answer we need to analyze it. First of all, let's see his activity and exhaust. He doesn't say he has been physically active by performing heavy physical effort activities. He also doesn't recall a single moment of stress or substance abuse, so there is a very minimal chance to diagnose anxiety. But he does give you some elements. He says he has motor difficulties, he also says that he has less power in his muscles, and even though his movement decreases while he uses his hands. He can't control it, there is still shake in them. And those last factors are the classic symptoms to identify Parkinson's disease in its earliest stage.

kicyunya [14]
I can’t really see the text, but to me it showing how the person is being ungrateful, by saying it that all I got.
but doesn’t realize what is happening to other people or in their live, so he’s being selfish. This is person is lucky to even have one present.

(For example like when someone throws away wasted food but other kids in different countries have nothing to eat)
