SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support. \nhttps://www.targetovariancancer.org.uk/tags/ovarian-cancer-awareness-month

SUMMARY:Stress Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Stress Awareness Month has been held every April\, since 1992. \nDuring this annual thirty day period\, health care professionals and health promotion experts across the country will join forces to increase public awareness about both the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. \nTo learn more\, visit the Stress Awareness Month Website: https://www.stress.org.uk/national-stress-awareness-month-2018/

SUMMARY:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:April’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a fantastic annual event set aside to increase awareness of bowel cancer and raise funds towards treating this condition. It is driven by various charitable organisations including the Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK\, who have merged with the main aim of ensuring that there would be no victim of Bowel Cancer by 2050. \nJust to mention\, Bowel Cancer is the second biggest UK’s killer cancer. This shouldn’t be the case since it is treatable and curable\, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis for Bowel Cancer and any other type of cancer saves lives. This is the reason why April has been set aside to educate the public and raise awareness of Bowel Cancer symptoms. \nFor more information\, please visit: http://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/

SUMMARY:IBS Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Awareness Month in the UK\, where 1 in 5 people will experience IBS at some point in their lives1. \nBut despite the prevalence of IBS\, and the general increase in awareness\, there is still embarrassment and uncertainty surrounding the disorder. \nYou can develop IBS at any age\, but symptoms often develop between 20 – 30 years of age. \nFor more information\, please visit the event website: https://pageandpage.uk.com/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs-awareness-month/ \nReference:\n1-4 ‘April is IBS Awareness Month: Facts for sufferers’\, BMI Healthcare\, [online].

SUMMARY:Parkinson's Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s Awareness Week aims to raise awareness about this potentially devastating condition. \nDuring this week\, individuals are encouraged to hold their own event with family\, friends and colleagues. These events support the awareness and research work for Parkinson’s UK (formerly known as the Parkinson’s Disease Society). \nFunding is needed for vital research work into the causes and treatments of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s UK also works to support those living day to day with this condition. \nEach year Parkinson’s Awareness Week focuses on a different aspect of this condition. For example during 2014\, the main focus was ‘Control’\, which raised awareness about how people with this disease control and live with the symptoms and progressive nature of Parkinson’s. \nAnother focus of Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Week is to increase media coverage of this condition. The greater the coverage the more people know what it is like to live or care for somebody with Parkinson’s Disease. \nParkinson’s Disease In Brief\nWhat is Parkinson’s Disease?\nA progressive neurological condition\, Parkinson’s Disease affects actions including talking\, walking and writing. Parkinson’s Disease is named after a London doctor\, Dr James Parkinson (1755-1824) who identified Parkinson’s Disease as a condition in its own right. \nWhat is Parkinsonism?\nOther disorders and Diseases can also include the major symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinsonism is the term given to the collective symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and other related Diseases. Often referred to as idiopathic* Parkinson’s Disease\, Parkinson’s Disease is the most common form of parkinsonism. Other types of parkinsonism include progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Both progressive supra nuclear and multiple system atrophy are rarer conditions than Parkinson’s Disease. \n*idiopathic referring to unknown cause. \nWhat causes Parkinson’s Disease?\nParkinson’s Disease arises due to a loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra; a part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s Disease. Nerve cells in the substantia nigra produce the chemical dopamine\, a neurotransmitter\, which transmits nerve impulses and allows signals to be sent to other areas of the brain which coordinate movement. A reduction in these dopamine producing cells causes reduced function in the areas of the brain responsible for coordinating movement. About an 80% reduction in dopamine will bring on the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. \nWhat are the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease? \nMotor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include tremor\, slowness of movement (known as bradykinesia) and stiffness or rigidity of muscles. \nNon motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease may also be experienced. These include constipation\, depression\, sleep disturbances and urinary urgency. \nThese are often differences in severity and the type of symptoms displayed between individuals. \nWhat research is being taken into Parkinson’s Disease?\nResearch into Parkinson’s Disease broadly falls into two categories: genetic and environment research. \nGenetic research into Parkinson’s Disease has so far identified 9 genes linked to this condition. The parkin gene is the gene most commonly associated with Parkinson’s Disease. Scientific research aims to determine which factors are involved in the creation\, maintenance and destruction of the dopamine producing neurons. \nEnvironment research into Parkinson’s Disease focuses on possible environmental factors associated with Parkinson’s Disease. \nIs there a way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease?\nAt present there is no way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease. However\, current research is focusing on finding a biochemical abnormality which all individuals with Parkinson’s Disease might share. However such findings would help more to predict not prevent Parkinson’s Disease. These biochemical abnormalities are known as biomarkers. \nIf discovered\, a biomarker could be found through a chemical test given to individuals who currently do not show any symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Screening techniques could also be used to show the presences of a biomarker. \nThere are rare cases where individuals have an inherited form of Parkinson’s Disease. With such cases researchers could test for known genetic mutations as a means to determine an individual’s risk of having the disease.
