Israeli researchers develop the first ever diagnostic test for Parkinson’s disease.
Israeli researchers have developed the first early detection method for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
PD is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system, with symptoms such as shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking emerging over time.
PD affected 6.2 million people in 2015, including stars like Michael J. Fox and the late Muhammad Ali, and resulted in about 117,400 deaths globally.
With Israel developing the first ever diagnostic test for PD, early detection and life saving intervention may become the norm for PD patients.
以色列研究人员开展了帕金森病首例诊断试验。
以色列研究人员已经开发了帕金森病（PD）的第一个早期检测方法。
PD是主要影响运动系统的中枢神经系统的退行性疾病，具有震动，僵硬，运动缓慢，以及随着时间的推移出现的困难等症状。
2015年，PD影响了620万人，其中包括Michael J. Fox和已故的穆罕默德·阿里等星星，造成全球约117,400人死亡。
随着以色列开展了首例针对PD的诊断测试，早期检测和挽救生命的干预措施可能成为PD患者的常规。
