Episode 62: New Guidelines for Managing MS Cognitive Dysfunction with Dr. John DeLuca
jonstrum
Cognitive dysfunction can profoundly affect people living with MS, yet it's frequently overlooked and left untreated. That's why the National MS Society convened a working group of world-class experts to explore how cognitive dysfunction was being assessed and to develop a set of guidelines designed to improve the process of cognitive screening and management in MS care.
My guest is Dr. John DeLuca, the Senior Vice-President of Research & Training at the Kessler Foundation, and the co-author of the just-published report that details this important set of new guidelines.
We're also making an exciting announcement with the Accelerated Cure Project for MS about the RealTalk MS podcast. We're talking about how you can prepare for next week's midterm election in the U.S., we'll tell you how the Federal Trade Commission went after 2 crooked stem cell clinics that claimed they were curing MS, we'll give you a heads-up about MS stem cells that really are heading for outer space, and you'll hear about an investment that the National MS Society made in some exciting cutting-edge commercial biotech research.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?!
