Regards, Margaret Tuchman (54yrs, dx 1980) -------------------------------------------------------------------------= - American Parkinson Disease Association and Associazione Italiana Parkinsoniani March 1996 Dear Friend, About 3 years ago the APDA and AIP started to work on a very ambitious=20 project, the collection of data for an international data bank on=20 Parkinson's disease. The aim of the bank is to provide information usefu= l=20 to both patients and professionals. The first edition was published in November 1994. Here is the second edition containing nearly twice the=20 information of the first. The information was provided by the national=20 Parkinson associations throughout the world. We would like to thank all the associations already participating in this= =20 project, and request them to send us updates for inclusion into the next=20 edition. We are also asking for input from associations not yet participating in t= his=20 project and from individuals of countries where there is no national=20 association, or no information available in this booklet. Proper credit=20 will be given to contributors. This booklet will be updated every year in March. It is available in=20 electronic format on the World Wide Web at: http://neuro-chief-e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonweb/=20 Main/PDmain.html.
