by The British Heavy -Metal -Legende Ozzy Osbourne died at the beginning of this week at the age of 76, more than 20 years since a rare form of disease of the genetic Parkinson’s disease was diagnosed for the first time at the “Prince of Darkness”.
The cause of the recent death of the black Sabbath was not made explicitly.
Up to this year, Osbourne told the audience of his SiriusxM radio broadcast “Ozzy Speaks” that he could no longer run due to the condition on which he was diagnosed in 2003.
“I made it until 2025,” he said loudly, according to People. “I can’t walk, but you know what I thought during the holidays? I am still alive with all my complaint.”
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological disorder, which, according to the Parkinson’s foundation, is characterized by slow movements, tremors and equilibrium problems. Most cases occur for unknown reasons, but some are geological, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
There are different types of Parkinson’s diseases, including genetic, early onset and sporadic illness: most common.
“Genetic forms of Parkinson’s make up about 8 percent of the people who receive a Parkinson’s diagnosis,” said the deputy research director at Parkinson’s, David Dexter.
Osbourne was affected by a gene called Park 2, which is also known as PRKN-2. If the gene is mutated, it is the most common cause of early Parkinson’s disease. A rare recessive form of the disease can be caused by this mutation.
Park 2 mutations cause around 15 percent of the genetic and 4 percent of the most common cases of illness with an early Parkinson’s. According to John’s Hopkins Medicine, people are diagnosed by people in the average age of 60 Parkinson’s.
In Parkinson’s disease nerves in the brain, they slowly collapse and die. Many symptoms are caused by a loss of cells that produce dopamine – a mood regulator – in the brain. According to Mayo clinic, a reduced dopamine leads to an irregular brain activity. Parkinson’s disease also lose another chemical messenger who is known as noradrenaline who controls blood pressure and other body functions.
Parkinsons is not curable, but there are many different treatment options, including brain operations. Osbourne had received stem cell treatments that are used to supplement dopamine loss.
Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1.1 million Americans, and it is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated 90,000 people in the United States are diagnosed every year, and the mortality rates have increased by around 63 percent in the past 20 years.
While Parkinson’s itself is not considered to be fatal, people can die from complications of the disease, including lung problems associated with muscle weakness that cough and swallow the ability.
According to a federal study, 70 percent of Parkinson’s patients from Parkinson’s patients are 70 percent of deaths. This occurs when bacteria are pulled out of the mouth into the lungs.
“There are so many different types of Parkinson’s; it is not a death sentence through any imagination, but it affects certain nerves in her body,” Ozzy’s wife Sharon Osbourne previously told ABC News. “Good morning America.” “And it’s like you have a good day, a good day and then a really bad day.”
Sharon also said Radiox that Ozzy had to work with a physiotherapist every day to keep his muscles in motion.
“I like to moan that I can’t go, but I look down the street and there are people who didn’t do as much as much as I did and didn’t do it,” said Ozzy on Siriusxm.
