A friend of mine did a Medline search for pd publications in Canada in the
last three years.  The results are listed below.  Not a lot considering
it's three years' worth.  Is anyone on the list aware of publications or
research on pd in other areas?  I heard that there is a research project
here at McMaster re Deprynyl...supposed to slow the progress of the
disease but I have not had any luck finding out anything about it although
I AM taking the drug....
