An Aussie breakthrough could transform life for those with Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers at the University of South Australia have created a biodegradable gel that delivers medication for up to a week — a significant improvement from multiple daily doses.

The injectable gel helps reduce tremors and stiffness, offering smoother, longer-lasting relief.

With over 150,000 Australians living with Parkinson’s, this could be a major shift in treatment. Clinical trials are next, and the future is looking brighter.

Thank you for reminding us of the good things happening. There is so much doom and gloom at present. Every time I have the news on it is showing how bad things have become and how dangerous society has become with terrible things happening. They tend to dominate the news. It makes it difficult to know that there are many good positive things that happen in our society which the news overlooks as it is not newsworthy enough.
 
Thanks SDC for the good news stories this week and every week.
A weekly dose of an injection is much better for Parkinson sufferers than multiple daily doses ! Hopefully the beginning of better lives for them.

I’m hoping something like Keith’s closet comes to QLD. A very good idea.
A lot of charity shops don’t have everyday items like shampoo etc.

Very pleased to see that Suriname became the first malaria free region in the Amazon. Hopefully it will encourage other regions to follow suit.

Love the Chihuahua that saved his friend XXX
