The first of these relates to the open access article Parkinson Matters – published in this new issue – which is a call to action to improve patient care. | In the paper, experts propose ways to address the rapidly rising number of deaths from Parkinson’s disease and related disorders and improve the end of life care of Parkinson patients. Reviewing the report, a team of international experts led by Prof. Bastiaan R. Bloem, explore the deeper relevance of the numbers and trends. “There are several possible explanations for the increase in mortality associated with Parkinson’s disease. It is certainly in keeping with other recent reports that point to a striking rise in the incidence of new patients with Parkinson’s disease in the general population," comments Prof. Bloem.

Linked to this initiative, a series of Quarterly Parkinson's Webinars was launched to bring the discussion of specific research topics into the open, so the whole process of rating research will become even more transparent. The latest webinar, held during September, was the second in the series and it was a great success. A video of the webinar can be viewed by clicking on the image below or online here. We encourage you to allocate some time to view this interesting discussion, which was based around the paper by Prof. Per Borghammer entitled: “How Does Parkinson’s Disease Begin? Perspectives on Neuroanatomical Pathways, Prions, and Histology”. Next Parkinson Webinar: December 5, 2018 The next webinar will take place on Dec 5 (12.30 ET, 18.30 CET) and details will be announced soon. Be sure to check back to our website for more details, or follow JPD's Facebook and Twitter streams to be kept up to speed and to sign up for your spot at the webinar! | If you know any colleagues and fellow researchers who are not signed up to receive the newsletter, we invite you to share this mailing with them.
