Title -
Parkinsonism: thinking the unthinkable in the current anti-
academic climate.
Passing the routine diagnostic threshold for clinical idiopathic
Parkinsonism may represent the tip of the iceberg. An alternative
to the binomial classification of disease status, where diversity and
a preclinical state are recognised, is proposed. Using objective
measures to its facets, it is feasible to define the tendency towards
Parkinsonism and the disease burden beyond that threshold. This
approach has been used to examine the associations and
biological gradients with potential environmental insults.
All are welcome. The nearest underground stations are Barbican
and Farringdon. The seminar will be held at the address as given
below.
