At @UBC, Dr. Silke Cresswell is examining the role that fungi in the gut may play in influencing Parkinson’s. If she can demonstrate a connection, her work could potentially open new early treatment involving antibiotic-like medications or probiotics.

MRIs are not particularly helpful when diagnosing PD. Hear how Dr. Jon Stoessl of @UBC @PPRI__, a @Parkinsondotorg Center of Excellence, uses PET scans to #research chemical biomarkers in the #brain like #dopamine to better assess PD in our latest #Podcast buff.ly/2ZS7ZDm

Really excited to see this new drug in clinical practice! It is great to have a new weapon to help quality of life of people with #Parkinson (hope this will be available soon in Canada). @ParkinsonCanada @PPRI__ @ParkinsonsBC
People with Parkinson's now have a new treatment option due in part to funding from MJFF. Learn more about Inbrija, which was approved by the @US_FDA last week for "off" episodes, when #Parkinsons symptoms are not well controlled with oral medication. bddy.me/2VaDqXj
