Pleased to share a new publication from our group examining the relationship between antimicrobials and Parkinson’s disease risk sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Alemelegy et al. write about some initial findings here in a small # of GBA carriers undergoing STN DBS showing impaired response inhibition compared to other groups

We ask what is a minimally important cost difference in comparison to potential benefit of DBS with respect to physical discomfort from motor complications?
It’s a very difficult question to answer.

What to do when a person w/#Parkinsons has a GBA mutation but may be considering DBS? 🤷🤔
Margaret O’Connor & I wrote that more work is needed to truly understand the cost differential in the latest issue of #ACTN @ANA_journals @WileyNeuro

Emerging published data needs to be translated cautiously, helping the patient & their care partners consider their own personal & social circumstances

We should not categorically deny DBS to those with GBA1 gene mutations. So glad Pal et al published f/u w/ clear statement. Risk of misinterpretation of data 'out of context.' GBA1 folks 'you are definitely eligible for a DBS workup and potential surgery.' movementdisorders.onlinelibr…
