Conversations on Parkinson’s Disease Part 2: Identifying Early PD Updated: 2010-08-10 19:09:13 Description: This NeuraPod is the second in a series on Parkinson’s disease (PD), featuring conversations with clinicians and researchers in the field. In this podcast, Dr. Paul S. Fishman, a Professor of Neurology and the Director of the Alzheimer’s Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, discusses the clinical identification of PD in its early stages. The early identification of PD can be challenging, as non-motor symptoms, such as anosmia and depression, frequently precede the disorder’s canonical motor symptoms. Diagnosis can also be confounded by atypical parkinsonisms, whose symptoms can mimic PD in the early stages. Nonetheless, novel imaging methods have shown promise in detecting PD in its pre-motor or pre-clinical stages. This podcast is the first of two to address the identification and management of early PD. LISTEN NOW | DOWNLOAD |
