Subject: NEWS-Breakthrough Aids In Parkinson's Detection
Date: Thursday, June 22, 2000 2:29 AM
It appears that scientists have made a medical breakthrough in the early
detection of Parkinson's disease.
A chemical called Altropane, developed at Boston Life Sciences, may
provide patients with a safer, faster and cheaper means of being tested.
Traditional diagnoses have been wrong one out of five times. Altropane
could allow doctors to not only detect Parkinson's earlier, but also get
patients on medication sooner, slowing the progress of the disease.
