Why Israel is becoming a hub for Parkinson’s research Why Israel is becoming a hub for Parkinson’s research A high rate of genetic Parkinson’s makes Israel a perfect lab for finding ways to prevent, stop and even cure this fast-growing neurological disorder. Tubes at a laboratory at Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center. Photo by FLASH90 Parkinson’s disease is a complex, progressive neurological disorder affecting up to 10 million people. And it is fast growing in prevalence worldwide. April 11, the birthday of James Parkinson who first described this syndrome in 1817 kicks off World Parkinson’s Awareness Week. The disease is most often diagnosed in people over 60, more often males. Classic symptoms include tremor in about 60 percent of cases, rigidity, poor posture and slow movement. ....

E-Mail Stopping the spread of COVID-19 is difficult enough. It s even more complicated and confusing when information and resources provided by governments are largely inaccessible to a variety of disabled populations. A newly-published global survey of national health authority websites in nearly 200 countries has directly quantified COVID-19 information accessibility. The survey, published on January 27, 2021 in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, was conducted by researchers and medical professionals from Bar-Ilan University s Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, the Galilee Medical Center and Tel Aviv University. The researchers utilized universal accessibility criteria written by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), to determine what percentage of national health authority websites fully implemented accessibility principles of the WAI, a global organization seeking to improve website accessibility. With the rise in smartphone use as a primary method of gaining ....
To help with the treatment of hearing loss in children, scientists from Tel Aviv University have developed a gene therapy for deafness based on the delivery of genetic material into the cells of the inner ear. The genetic material ‘replaces’ the genetic defect and enables the cells to continue functioning normally. In a study published in December 2020, the scientists reported that this new therapy could lead to a breakthrough in treating children born with various mutations that eventually cause deafness. The scientists focused on a rare genetic deafness resulting from a gene mutation which causes damage to sound wave receptors essential for hearing in the cochlea. “Children inheriting the defective gene from both parents are born with normal hearing, but they gradually lose their hearing during childhood,” says Prof Karen Avraham, the lead researcher. ....
