Audio Conference for Physicians: Off-time Management in PD with COMT Inhibitors SOURCE: E-Move Thursday, October 7, 2004 _ VOLUME 1 ISSUE 47 WE MOVE is pleased to announce its new initiative in Parkinson's disease education for physicians, "Off-time Management in PD: The Role of COMT Inhibitors." This hour-long audio conference, moderated by a physician expert in management of PD, will provide physicians with a working knowledge of the practical clinical considerations associated with the use of COMT inhibitors in management of "off time" in PD. Topics will include a discussion of "wearing off" and the role of COMT inhibitors in management of "wearing off." The greatest challenge of treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease is management of complex and variable symptoms. Physicians who treat patients with PD face numerous obstacles to optimal outcomes, including disease progression and variable responses to treatment. Many physicians treating PD patients may not be fully aware the palette of therapeutic options that are available to them. This discussion, the first in a series, aims to increase awareness of "off time" in PD, and provide physicians with the knowledge needed to treat it effectively. The audio-conferences will be moderated by Stewart Factor, DO, The Riley Family Chair in Parkinson's Disease, at the Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorder Center of Albany Medical Collage, Albany, NY. The conferences will take place: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 7:00 PM EST Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 8:00 PM EST Tuesday, December 7, 2004 at 9:00 PM EST To register, go to http://www.mdvu.org/library/disease/pd/par_otm.html Additional information regarding the WE MOVE Parkinson's Disease Educational Initiative and the "Off-time Management in PD: The Role of COMT Inhibitors" audio- conferences may be found on http://www.mdvu.org/library/disease/pd/par_otm.html SOURCE: E-Move Thursday, October 7, 2004 _ VOLUME 1 ISSUE 47 http://tinyurl.com/4q9ab * * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
