Don't know if anyone passed this on. Just saw it on CARE list from Tim Hodgens. Victoria Nordli cg ----------------Forwarded ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 23:34:52 EDT From: Tim Hodgens <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Fetal Cell Transplant surgery I attended a neurology grand rounds today in which the results of a double blind study involving fetal cell transplantation were presented. These results have not yet been published but the presentor who was one of the principal investigators "wanted to get the results out (fast)" He told me afterwards that he hopes to have it published in a few months and is thinking it may be published in the NEJM. Bottom line - he would not recommend the surgery because of the complication of intensified dyskinesia showing up a year or so after surgery. It's late right now and I will try and get more of the material out in a day or so. I am on "inactive status" on the PD list so perhaps someone may want to pass this on to the list if it would be new information for them.
