Tuesday, March 5, 10:00-11:00am

“Expert Briefing: Seeing Clearly with PD: Vision Changes”

Program: PD is commonly viewed as a disease characterized by motor deficits, but visual conditions that can negatively impact daily function and quality of life are common. Among the most common conditions are ocular surface irritation, convergence insufficiency, hallucinations, and blurry or subnormal vision. This webinar will focus on how to recognize and treat the most common symptoms experienced by people living with PD.

Presenter: Dan Gold, DO, Assistant Professor of Neurology, Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital

Tuesday, March 12, 10:00-11:00am

“Ask the Expert Webinar: Genetic Discovery to Therapeutic Target”

Program: At the laboratory of Professor Matthew Farrer, research scientists are investigating the role of the retromer complex, a sorting network within brain cells that may position particular proteins within cells. Their working theory is that when genes within the retromer complex are mutated, they could be misplacing specific proteins within dopamine-producing cells — the main cell type lost in Parkinson’s disease — ultimately causing them to die. If they can validate this theory, it could lead to new avenues for drug discovery and early disease detection.

Presenters: Jordan Follett and Emil Gustavsson, researchers, University of British Columbia, Farrer Lab

Presented by: Parkinson Society British Columbia

“Nursing Solutions: Of All the Nerve, Autonomic Issues in Parkinson’s Disease”

Program: Parkinson’s disease patients face myriad symptoms, including those affecting the motor system and mobility function and those presenting as non-motor symptoms. Among the non-motor symptoms, issues affecting the cognitive, neuropsychiatric and autonomic systems, as well as sleep, are common. This web seminar will present an overview of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, followed by a presentation of the under-recognized skin issues in Parkinson’s disease.

Presenters: Joan Gardner, RN, BSN.,  clinic supervisor, Struthers Parkinson’s Center,Minneapolis, Coordinator, Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence
