Pleased to share our new paper in "#Alzheimers & #Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association," which suggests that a substantial number of dementia cases in the US could be eliminated by reducing cardiometabolic diseases. Read the press release/paper: bar.rw/cmd
Congratulations to the BarrowNeurological Dept of #Neurology staff who presented at the 48th Barrow #Neuroscience Symposium, & thanks to all who attended. Together, we gained a greater understanding of the latest advances in the diagnosis & management of various neurological disorders.
Pleased to see our paper on geographic ties between #dementia & #cardiometabolic disease (CMD) shared by HealthDay News & U.S. News Health. In our study at BarrowNeurological, we found that 37% of US dementia cases could be linked to 1 of 8 CMDs. Read article: bar.rw/cmd-usnews
Congrats to BarrowNeurological #neurologyresident Dr. Tshibambe Nathanael Tshimbombu on being selected for American Academy of Neurology's 2025 Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum in August, where he will be provided with tools, training, & resources to advocate effectively for our patients & profession.
Pleased to discuss my research on environmental risk factors of #neurodegenerative disease alongside Dr. @brittanykrzyz for episode two of "#BarrowOnTheBrain," a new, limited-series podcast from BarrowNeurological. Tune in at bar.rw/podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Pleased to announce that Dr. Tim Fullam has joined BarrowNeurological. Previously, as an active duty Air Force #neuromuscularspecialist, he started the first multidisciplinary care clinic for complex #neuromusculardiseases & #ALS in the Dept of Defense at Brooke Army Medical Center.
