Super to see our PhD students presenting. @dr_mdsmith highlighting an overlooked an important sx in #Parkinsons - nocturnal polyuria.

Cheering for @dr_mdsmith from @AMRG_Bristol talking about cognitive enhancers and fall risk in neurodegenerative disease. #EuGMS2022.

All urologists and all those treating elderly people should have this great infographic as a screensaver!

Medical causes of nocturia drive several mechanisms affecting rate of urine output and depth of sleep, as described by the PLANET practical clinical guidance eu-focus.europeanurology.com/article/S2405-… @EurUrolFocus @drjonrees @DrEmHenderson @ShobaDawson @icsoffice

Our latest paper on gait dysfunction in Parkinson’s has just been published - an example of how there is so much more than just dopamine depletion to consider @DrEmHenderson @physiodani

Looking forward to my appointment with the @bucksgasdoc tomorrow

@DrEmHenderson @GershanikOscar @EmmaTenison The talk by @GershanikOscar goes to show that even in 2021, despite increasing understanding of the spectrum of degenerative Parkinsonism, nothing yet has come close to history taking and examination when it comes to diagnosis

Great to get stuck into the #MDSCongress2021 #MDS2021 with @GershanikOscar giving the Stanley Fahn lecture talking through the atypical typical atypical movement disoders. Follow this thread for updates from @EmmaTenison and @dr_mdsmith and I on highlights over the coming days.
