Neurology Times Features Coverage of Parkinson and Alzheimer Disease
NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that Neurology Times, a leading online community and information resource for neurologists and other healthcare providers, features special coverage on Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease, with discussions of the latest developments in approaches to diagnosis.
Up to 1 million Americans have Parkinson disease, more than the total of those who have multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or Lou Gehrig disease. Diagnosis can be difficult because there are no confirmatory medical tests. More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer disease, the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, and the number is expected to escalate in the coming years.
Recent coverage of these troubling disorders on Neurology Times includes the following:
- Tests for Autoantibodies in Brain Disease Raise Questions: There is increasing recognition of the role of anti-brain-specific autoantibodies in human disease. Serum testing for NMDAR and other autoantibodies is fraught with pitfalls, and careful clinical consideration is important.
- Use a Saliva Test to ID Neurodegenerative Disease?: Why ask patients to "spit in a cup"? Statistically significant protein differences have been found in Alzheimer disease saliva, and trends have been observed for Parkinson disease. Saliva could be used in a clinical test for neurodegenerative disease.
- Migraine and Parkinson Disease: New Study Finds a Link: In this podcast, lead author Ann Scher, PhD, gives a succinct overview of the details and what the findings may suggest.
