How can we support & cultivate a satisfied academic neurologist workforce? My viewpoint guided by survey results (included) of 102 academic movement disorders neurologists is now online. Likely relevant for all of academic neurology. Link: movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thank you to the @movedisorder.bsky.social for the invitation, and to Profs. Goldstein & Yarnall for the conversation on autonomic dysfunction in prodromal PD which could have easily gone on for hours. Link: www.movementdisorders.org/Podcasts/Pro...

Autonomic dysfunction, cognitive fluctuations and neuropsychiatric burden in DLB How does the relationship impact patients? Over time? Which cognitive & autonomic subdomains are affected? Does it bother caregivers? We answer in @GreenJournal Link: www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...

In individuals with Parkinson’s disease dementia and neurogenic OH, caregiver-identified cognitive fluctuations were preceded by hypotensive episodes. Coincidence or a modifiable causal mechanism? Full text of our case series: movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hypotensive Episodes Precede Cognitive Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease Dementia

Background Cognitive fluctuations (CFs) are a disabling feature in Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and contribute to caregiver burden. The relationship between CFs and neurogenic orthostatic hypo.....

Does early autonomic burden in prodromal Parkinson’s disease predict later cognitive (thinking) impairment? Martinez Nunez and colleagues describe in a new paper in Movement Disorders how early autonomic symptoms in prodromal Parkinson’s disease may be linked to later cognitive (thinking) decline.

Does early autonomic burden in prodromal Parkinson’s disease increase risk of cognitive decline? Our investigation highlights an opportunity for early risk stratification and potential intervention. @mdj-journal.bsky.social Full text: movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Can there be fluctuations in cognition and mood early in PD? Do you ask about anxiety and dysautonomia? The answers may surprise you. Spoiler alert: Stop being hyperfocused on motor dysfunction. Spend more time w/ folks and you may be surprised what emerges –de profundis – out of the depths.

The closure of hospitals, especially in healthcare deserts is a blot on our healthcare system. Crozer Chester Medical Center hosted residency training programs for IM, FM, EM, ObGyn and Psychiatry. These two hospitals saw nearly 80,000 ER visits last year. www.fox29.com/news/crozer-...

Great to visit @michiganstateu.bsky.social, meet with trainees, old friends and present grand rounds on our work in the intersection of cognitive and autonomic domains.

Can cognitively unimpaired PD patients experience fluctuations in cognition and mood with dopamine replacement? Yes: analysis reveals greater odds of fluctuations in anxiety (OR 7.5) and cognition (OR 2.8) with autonomic burden. movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Dr. @elisabethbik.bsky.social presenting at UC Neurology grand rounds today on the fascinating topic of Errors and Misconduct in Biomedical Research. From patterns on bathroom tiles to western blots.

Unlike private practices, some academic dept. have $0 CME and at least one is prohibiting attendance Academic leadership: Physicians stay for academic advancement despite poor autonomy, lower pay, lesser clinical support, more admin oversight. "Prestige" alone won't suffice for retention.

Most people get care where (and if) they can. For those able & willing to travel, they follow the reputation of specific programs/ individuals. With departments housing 100 or more neurologists, can such a ranking even be accurate? What is the purpose? health.usnews.com/best-hospita...
