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.

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.

Norsk biobank for stamceller er på vei:
«… I laboratoriet er hudcellene nå i ferd med å programmeres om til å bli såkalte iPS-celler. Altså stamceller som kan gi opphav til alle typer spesialiserte celler i kroppen, for eksempel muskel-, blod- og nerveceller. …
Neste mål er å kunne reparere skadede organer og ødelagt vev hos de med #ParkinsonsSykdom, alvorlige #hudsykdommer, #hjerteinfarkt og #diabetes. …»

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.

Week 3: Peaceful

The experienced volunteers who showed me around were all very welcoming, making me feel a lot less anxious about having to work with new people. For the first day, I was able to help with their summer program for elementary school kids. After settling in, since it was the first day of the summer program, we spent a lot of time having outdoor […]https://theweeklyinquiry4.wordpress.com/2026/06/27/week-3-peaceful/
