| | Nearly every major medical breakthrough over the past 50 years can be attributed to new discoveries that were made possible through meticulous biomedical research. Many diseases and conditions that previously took a heavy toll on patients in terms of both morbidity and mortality are now either treatable or preventable thanks in large part to painstaking research that expanded the frontiers of scientific knowledge and moved the most promising basic research developments into tangible health benefits through human clinical trails. Ongoing research is also the key that will open the door to additional major medical advances and breakthroughs in the future.
Our staff at Medifocus is committed to keeping our subscribers to the Medifocus Digest Alert on Parkinson's Disease abreast of the latest new research developments that have recently been published in the medical literature for this condition. In this issue of the Digest Alert, you will find a focused list of hand-picked journal article references that represent the latest advances in basic and clinical research for Parkinson's Disease. These articles represent the current state-of-the-art of the research that will hopefully lead to additional major advances and breakthroughs in the clinical management of Parkinson's Disease. You can access the summaries of each article referenced below by simply clicking on the article Title.
We will continue to update you with the latest scientific and clinical developments through the Medifocus Digest Alert on Parkinson's Disease every 3 months. Thank you for your ongoing subscription to this publication.

What Our Customers Are Saying... "I ordered the MediFocus Guidebook on Parkinson's Disease for my father who has had this condition for about 15 years. It was extremely useful to learn about the medications that are used to treat Parkinson's as well as the side-effects. I had read a lot of articles about Parkinson's on the Internet but they were all very general and vague. Your Guidebook provided excellent and comprehensive information from the medical perspective. Thanks for a very useful resource that is much needed today on the Web."
M.L.
Russelsheim, Germany
"I found your Guidebook on Parkinson's to be very informative for me, the patient, and for my husband. I am in the process of changing my medication and the book explained more to me than the doctor attempted to. I am now more aware of what to expect. It also offered valuable advice for the caregiver. Thank you."
M.N.
Palm Spring, California
"The Medifocus Guide to Parkinson's Disease was useful, informative, and allowed me to grasp the current fundamentals of treatment. I have recommended it to two of my ex-patients whom I know will find it readable and helpful to their needs."
