  • • Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

  • Estimated at least 26 million people worldwide have AD

  • – Incidence increases with age; high care-giver burden

  • Research opportunities

  • Determine methods to delay the onset and minimise effects of neurodegeneration

  • Identify mechanisms of neuroplasticity and enhance recovery

  • – Test research results in research clinics and roll out to community

2014 conference, 18-19 August 2014 Advanced therapies for Parkinson’s disease: • Deep brain stimulation • Duo-dopa (jejenum implant) • Apomorphine brain implant Conclusions: Advanced therapies accepted as the future for Parkinson’s treatment, but expensive (>USD100,000); short-term improvement; on-going maintenance; early intervention provides best responses.
