Parkinson's disease:- "A New Parkinson’s Test - Hope or Hype?” by Prof. Alberto Espay
Parkinson's disease:- "A New Parkinson’s Test - Hope or Hype?” by Prof. Alberto Espay YouTube video by nosilverbullet4pd

Here are facts and fiction behind the "breakthrough" seeding test for #Parkinsons. In this No Silver Bullet 4PD episode, I explain seeding and what a positive seeding test can and can't tell.

I end with how patients and advocates can spot hype and push for change.

Combining hyposmia + mild DaT abnormalities helpful in picking out folks (early) who will have a potentially positive synuclein seeding assay in the spinal fluid. It will be really nice to continue to track folks. 'Hyposmic individuals with +aSynSAA at high risk for eventual clinical symptoms.'

Clinical use of biomarkers in the era of Alzheimer's disease treatments With the advent of treatments that specifically target Alzheimer's disease brain pathology, biomarker tests will become an increasingly important part of the routine clinical evaluation of cognitive ....

This article discusses clinical use of biomarker tests for Alzheimer's disease pathology, including indications for testing, review of biomarker modalities (PET, CSF, blood), selection of modality based on individual factors, and interpretation and return of results. #ENDALZ

I'm so excited to start my reading in 2025 with Immortality by @danaschwartz.bsky.social sequel to the book "Anatomy: a love story", one of the most beautiful novels of love and female improvement in Medicine that I have read, if not the best. But look that cover, with a detailed brain included!πŸ§ πŸ’œ.

What does a positive Ξ±Syn-SAA mean?

βœ…It supports a Parkinson's diagnosis.

βœ…It does not indicate disease mechanisms, severity, progression rate, biological subtypes, or treatment response.

It'd take me more than just a bluesky texts. I'll mention key concepts method that could lead us to tools to swim in phenomenology being an existentialist: how he conceives life in aesthetics and ethics, despair as a driver of his experience and his knowledge of reality. And the concept of anguish.

Could the method of subjectivity proposed by SΓΈren K. illuminate us in phenomenology in neuroscience and in the philosophy of mind? If so, how would I do it? What is your opinion about it?

I recommend this one. I read it in Spanish, it is a deeper biography than Carlisle's. SΓΈren worked more to subjectivity and theistic existentialism, and of course inspired Heideeger's atheistic existentialism and his entire theory of "Dasein", which is so difficult to understand to me, at less.

Oh awesome! So good hear you're reading SΓΈren K. He is so fantastic philosopher. I loved "Fear and Trembling, and the "Sickness unto Death". Although he isnt a phenomenologist, I wanted to ask you about him in your presentation in Chile. What is your opinion about him and the phenomenology in psiq?

Prevention and health promotion is less known to be practiced in Neurology. However, maintaining this approach transversally in Neuroscience will always be a contribution and valuable contribution for patients and health providers As always, acronyms are useful. #NeuroResolution2025

Today’s Neurology Question (AAN) on Alzheimer’s biomarkers showed that only 57% of neurologists select low CSF Ab42. Might that be the influence of a disease framework where everything β€œgoes up,” with AD resulting from β€œtoo much” amyloid?
