Researchers At The University Of Tennessee Health Science Center Begin New Study On Parkinson's Disease
Researchers at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) are recruiting participants for a national clinical study of medication that could slow the progression of Parkinson"s disease. The study, referred to as "QE3," will examine the effectiveness of the research medication Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ). During the study, investigators will administer high doses of CoQ to participants 30 years of age or older with early stage Parkinson"s disease to reduce the speed of their physical decline. The research is sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and will be conducted by the Parkinson Study Group, an international council of physicians and researchers experienced in caring for Parkinson"s patients and studying the disease.

New Phone Number To Make Urgent Care Easier To Access, UK

A consultation on a new national three-digit number - 111 - that will make it easier for patients to access urgent care wherever they are was launched by Ofcom. In the final report on his review of the NHS, Lord Darzi recommended that the NHS continue to explore options for a single national three-digit number providing access to advice and information on non-emergency care. Asking Ofcom to consult on providing a number is the next stage in the process. 111 will not replace existing local telephone services or NHS Direct; it will provide patients with an additional choice in how they find urgent care. In the long-term, 111 could become the single number to access non-emergency care services in England, including NHS Direct. 999 will remain the number to call in an emergency situation. Health Minister Mike O"Brien said: "Patients have told us that they need clear, easy advice on how to find healthcare when they don"t need to go to A&E and we have asked Ofcom to consult on making a new national 111 number available for them. "The NHS already provides a range of urgent care services. The memorable 111 number will support these services and provide more choice for patients to find the care they need. This will be particularly useful outside of GP surgery hours and for people who are away from home." The NHS across England offers a range of options for accessing urgent, but non-emergency, care. Services such as walk-in centres, out-of-hours phone and GP services and minor injuries units mean patients now have more choice than ever before when they need urgent care. However, patients are not always sure where to go for treatment when they need medical help urgently, but the situation is not life-threatening, especially when away from home. If the Ofcom consultation finds that a three-digit should be allocated, pilot schemes will be launched later this year to identify the best model for the number. The Department of Health is working closely with the NHS to make sure any new number, which is introduced, complements existing services. Department of Health, UK
