Dogs detect Parkinson in the smell, a few years before the symptoms begin
According to a new study, a new study has shown that dogs can be trained to reliably soften the disease from a person’s skin emissions a few years before the symptoms appear.
A pair of dogs were trained to detect Parkinson’s disease – or oily discharge from the skin swabs – including neurological disorder – or oily discharge.
As part of the double-blind trial, when 100 skin is facing soabs, the study showed the dogs up to 80 percent sensitivity and up to 98.3 percent, even if a person has other treatment conditions.
The sensitivity is the ability to detect people with this disease, while on the other hand, according to the Health Institute of Health (NIH), those who do not have the disease do not detect the disease. Basically, it means that there were a few false negatives or false positives in judging.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive movement disorder that weakens brain neurons and eventually die. Symptoms include tremors and rigidity, which makes it difficult to walk, talk and complete daily tasks according to NIH.
It has no specific diagnostic test or healing, which means that the dog’s strong nose can be important with the diagnosis and intervention. Researchers believe that the disease can be found in the sebum before the motor problems begin.
Treatment, medical detection dogs and a collaboration of universities in Bristol and Manchester, the latest in the field of growing research that shows that dogs can only help detect Parkinson and other diseases in the smell.
Medical identification dog CEO and Chief Scientific Officer Claire’s guest said, “The symptoms can start up to 20 years before visible and endless.”
