Here's a new illustration of 'What Parkinson's Feels Like'.

For the past few years, I’ve lived the thrill of a lifetime working with the team at @natgeo. Last week brought more deep cuts. This time I was on the list. Time to take a breath and figure out what’s next, but first I want to celebrate the amazing work I’ve gotten to do here: 🧵

“We at Parkinson’s Ireland feel that at EU level, a similar plan should be adopted to end Parkinson’s. Such an act would create measurable objectives and would in turn be another way to hold key decision makers to account,” said Shane O’Brien, CEO of Parkinson’s Ireland

New review paper just out today @NEJM on Parkinson's disease by Professors @JillOstremUCSF and Carlie Tanner @UCSFHospitals. Check out the gems they include like this chart of all the current medication options. I added the 'hot' new article sign as we presented in Aspen @movedisorder this morning. A great read.

The DBS field is changing, and soon we will be deliberating targeting the circuit, rather than pointing at a simple grey matter target. In fact, several folks have already shifted in this direction, such as in this recent paper by @EMiddlebrooksMD and colleagues. Nice discussion today @movedisorder Aspen.

Can you prevent Parkinson's disease with exercise? Not so sure, however Oosterhof, Darweesh, Bloem and de Vries, take on this 'what if' scenario in @journal_PD and they think through what a clinical trial may look like in the future. Who would you include?
Key Points:
- The authors argue that it a 'high priority for finding interventions to delay or even prevent the onset of Parkinson's.'
- They argue the converging evidence that exercise 'may exert disease-modifying effects in people with clinically manifest PD.'
- Could it be preventative in the prodromal phase?
- What if we designed trials to prevent Parkinson's through exercise?
My take: As a history buff, I love to think about 'what if' scenarios. I really like their construct of thinking about who could benefit, and what may be the risks. I do think that we are not yet close to understanding how exercise may exert 'disease-modifying effects.' How would you blind the trial? How would you handle compliance? Who would pay for a longitudinal study and how easy would it be to recruit the subjects? If you are going to go there, then you must dare to ask key questions. Who would you include? Folks w/ prodromal manifestations? Non-manifest mutation carriers? Environmental exposures? Others?

Who are Indians descended from? Aryans from Europe? Dravidians who've been "here" forever? The Indus valley civilization?
A controversial question for 150+ years, but now we have DNA evidence that answers these questions with a high degree of certainty.

“..reviews of clinical trials have found levels of reported patient involvement ranging from less than 1% to 18% of identified trials..1/3
In this Viewpoint, @StuartGNicholl1 and @MarionKCampbell discuss the need to include patient and health care professional perspectives in the design of clinical trials to improve trial features and implementation. #JAMASummit

#Parkinsons is a 24 hour disease, there is no real reprieve from the symptoms. Managing those nocturnal and sleep symptoms is impt for quality of life. Thought I would share my personal experience unshakeablemd.com/post/can-t…
