The NEJM web site <www.nejm.org> includes information about acquiring the= ir publications. Volume 339 Numbers 15 & 16, the two Review Articles by MD's= A.E. Lang and A.M. Lozano mentioned over the past few days are likely in the medical library in your local hospital by now. The 2 parts total 24 pages including B&W and color graphics It seems to me that having the document in electronic media, would make i= t much more available to those interested. Perhaps someone affiliated with= the publication could request it be provided to this list in electronic form. I do not subscribe to NEJM so I am not aware of their policy re paper or electronic copies. ----- An example of the terms and conditions under which scientific and educational information can be interchanged follow: ACM (Assoc for Computing Machinery) copyright notice.

Experimental therapies under study a= t present promise to improve on the limitations of existing treatments. = Future progress in understanding the causation and pathogenesis of the disorder will permit the development of new treatments that will slow, halt, or even reverse the currently inexorable progressive course of Parkinson's disease" "[Supported in part by the National Parkinson Foundation and the Parkinso= n Foundation of Canada.
