*** Loss of smell may offer clues about Parkinson's
Most patients with Parkinson's disease have trouble smelling, which
could offer clues to the cause and diagnosis of the disease, British
researchers reported Monday. Neurologist Christopher Hawkes said tests
comparing 96 Parkinson's patients with 96 healthy volunteers showed
measurable damage to the olfactory, or smelling, system. Smell was
impaired in 70 to 90 percent of Parkinson's patients, they found.
Smell-tests could be used to help diagnose Parkinson's and other
brain-damaging diseases such as Alzheimer's. For the full text story,
