🚬 A link between carbon monoxide and Parkinson's disease may explain why smokers are at a lower risk of developing the condition, according to international research. The team monitored the health of over 500,000 Chinese adults over 12 years, including 1,131 people with Parkinson's and 2,949 with other neurodegenerative diseases. They investigated the impact of smoking through self-reported smoking frequency and measuring carbon monoxide in breath - usually an indicator of smoking. The researchers say both smoking history and exhaled carbon monoxide were linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's. While smokers generally had higher carbon monoxide levels in their breath, the researchers say non-smokers with high carbon monoxide levels also had a lower risk of Parkinson's - suggesting carbon monoxide may be independently protective against Parkinson's. Australian researchers highlight that smoking increases the risk of a host of different health problems, but say this finding could help us better understand why Parkinson's disease bucks the trend.

🇳🇴 Onsdag: Våken og gråter ikke 😆 (Les: ferdig på postoperativ og på plass på overvåkningen på nevrologisk avdeling. Operasjonen har gått fin-fint med topp resultat.) Jeg er nå en kyborg!
🇬🇧 Wednesday: Awake and not crying (Read: post surgery done and at the intermediary bedpost. The surgery went well with results in the top tier.) I am now a cyborg.

An observational study of the frequency of Parkinson's disease in about 19 million U.S. residents 67 or older, relative to their residence's distance to a dry cleaner's, found a dose-response relationship, with an approximately 20% higher risk of disease for those living closest.

"On August 10, the California Department of #Pesticide Regulation announced that all manufacturers of pesticide products containing paraquat-dichloride had voluntarily canceled their product registrations in California, beginning a phase-out of #paraquat use in the state.
…
“These developments are more than policy milestones. They represent a combination of people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, researchers, clinicians, and #advocates who have called for stronger action on #environmental risk factors associated with the disease.”https://www.apdaparkinson.org/california-moves-to-phase-out-paraquat/

,"This population-based case-control study provides evidence in support of an association between living within proximity to #golf courses and the risk of developing PD [Parkinson Disease]. Shorter distances from golf courses were associated with an increased risk of PD compared with those living farther away. Associations with the largest increase in odds was found in individuals living within #water service areas with a golf course and in vulnerable #GroundWater regions.” — "Proximity to Golf Courses and Risk of Parkinson Disease,” Brittany Krzyzanowski, PhD1]; Aidan F.

- have tentative dates for a trip back to Boston to see my former partner who seems to have likely transitioned into the last stage of her life. #Parkinsons Nothing booked yet.
- the feature I want to add to MuseScore seems like it might be feasible to add, based on some initial exploration
- church continues to be very meaningful to me. And I got called on to help lead some singing this morning, which was gratifying

1. Excellent and meaningful (to me) sermon from Rev. Aija today
2. Such interesting people and the stories of their spiritual path at the Path to Membership meeting today.
3. While making the decision to move Alyssa back to MA was hard, and then my decision to move back to CA, it was the right thing. Her sister is excellent at managing her care at this stage of the disease.

A retrospective analysis of causes of death among approximately 20,000 U.S. National Football League players found that, although they had lower rates of all-cause mortality than the general population, their death rates from neurodegenerative diseases (dementia or Parkinson's) were almost four times higher.
