A Milwaukee doctor in sports neurology sheds some light on Favre’s diagnosis

One of the biggest stories of the day, HALL OF FAME QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE HAS ANNOUNCED HE HAS PARKINSON’S DISEASE. KR SHARED THE NEWS IN THE HOUSE WITNESS. >> SADLY, I LOST AN INVESTMENT IN A COMPANY THAT I BELIEVED WAS DEVELOPING BREAK CONCUSSION DRUGS. I’M SURE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND WHY IT’S AT HOME AND VEGETABLE FOR ME, BECAUSE I’VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON’S. THIS IS A CAUSE THAT IS DEAR TO MY HEART. Kristin: YOU’VE PLAYED IN THE NFL FOR 20 YEARS, AND YOU’VE BEEN IN A LOT OF THINGS. STUDIES HAVE FOUND ASSOCIATION BETWEEN NORMAL BRAIN DISORDERS AND PARKINSON’S. DERRICK: JOINING US NOW IS DR. KATE ESSAD. HE IS THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF CONCUSSION AND SPORTS NEUROLOGY FOR AURORA HEALTH CARE IN MILWAUKEE. GOOD TO YOU. UNKNOWN BIBLIOGRAPHERS, LET’S GO ABOUT WHAT PARKINSON’S DISEASE IS AND WHAT IT DOES TO A PERSON. >> PARKINSON’S IS A NEURODEGENERATE DISORDER. CONDITIONS IN WHICH BREAK IS AGING IN AN IRREGULAR WAY. In the case of PARKINSON’S THERE IS A DEFICIENCY OF THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE REGIONAL REGULATORY ACTIVITY. DERRICK: TALK ABOUT THE RESEARCH THAT SHOWS A POSSIBLE LINK BETWEEN CONTACT SPORTS, ESPECIALLY SOCCER, AND SOME DEVELOPMENT OF PARKINSON’S. >> THE COURSES WE HAVE ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAY FOOTBALL FROM YOUNG TO ALL. IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO BE OLD AND MOVE ON. The data we have shows that at least FOR non-professional ATHLETES there is not necessarily an INCREASED INCIDENCE OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAY SPORTS. BUT CONCUSSION ITSELF IS A TEMPORARY CHEMICAL CHANGE IN THE BRAIN AND THE RESEARCH IS DIRECTED TOWARDS, WHAT IS THE WAY TO HATE MULTIPLE HEADS WITH OR WITHOUT WARNING AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT BRAIN HEALTH? DERRICK: SHOULD THAT BE SOMETHING FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES TO THINK ABOUT? YOU MENTIONED ADVERTISERS WHO HAVE BEEN PLAYING GAMES FOR A LONG TIME. WHAT SHOULD PARENTS ASK THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT INVOLVING SPORTS LIKE SOCCER? >> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN PLAYING THESE GAMES IS TO CONSIDER SAFETY IN ALL DIFFERENT WAYS. IS THE TEAM USING THE OLDEST AGE OF HIGH TEACHING MEMBERS? IS THE COACH TEACHING THE CHILDREN HOW TO USE THEIR BODY WITHOUT CONTACTING OTHER PLAYERS IN A SAFE WAY? AND ALSO, WHAT DOES A STUDENT OR CHILD NOT PLAY NEED? OFTEN CHOOSING TO USE TEAM SPORTS, CONNECTED OR NOT, THERE ARE STRICT CONDITIONS AND LONG-TERM PROGRESS. DERRICK: BRETT FAVRE MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY HOW WE HAVE HAD TO SEE HOW PARKINSON’S HAS AFFECTED HIM BUT WE ARE WORKING IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, HOME OF MUHAMMAD ALI. ADDITIONAL PARKINSON. YOU COULD SEE THE SHAKING HE HAD along with the loss of emotion. MOVING FORWARD, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM BRETT FAVRE? >> Every body and brain experiences neurological problems in a different way, whether it’s dementia or dementia. — OR PARKINSON’S. GET OUT. OTHER PARKINSON’S ASPECTS, RELATIONSHIPS, DEMENTIA, AND YOU’VE GOT TOTALLY NORMAL PEOPLE WHO JUST HAVE A DISTURBANCE. SO IT IS FALSE TO SAY WHAT BRETT FAR WILL LIVE AND HOW THE CARE HAS COME AND WHAT OTHER EDUCATION HE HAS NOT RECEIVED ABOUT HIS CONDITION. DERRICK: THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR ALL OF US TO LEARN AS THIS INVESTIGATION OF THESE CONNECTIONS CONTINUES. THANK YOU KENYA
