Woman with Keen Sense of Smell Helps Parkinson’s Researchers
嗅覺敏銳的女子幫助了帕金森癥的研究
A woman who claims she can smell Parkinson’s disease before people develop symptoms has helped researchers develop an early detection test. Joy Milne began to notice an odd musky smell on her husband 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. When she went to a support group for sufferers of Parkinson’s she found they all smelled the same. A neurobiologist worked with Milne to identify the odour and its substances. For the past three years, researchers have been working with Milne and her keen sense of smell to develop a test for early detection. Researchers hope Milne’s strong sense will also be helpful in tuberculosis research.
一名自稱能在人們出現(xiàn)癥狀之前就聞到帕金森病的女性幫助研究人員開發(fā)了一種早期檢測試驗(yàn)。喬伊·米爾恩在丈夫被診斷出患有帕金森病的12年前就注意到他身上有一種奇怪的麝香味。她曾前往一個(gè)帕金森癥患者支援團(tuán)，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們身上都有同樣的氣味。一位神經(jīng)生物學(xué)家與米爾恩合作，鑒定這種氣味及其物質(zhì)。過去三年里，研究人員一直在與米爾恩及其敏銳的嗅覺合作，研發(fā)一種早期檢測的試驗(yàn)方法。研究人員希望米爾恩的敏銳嗅覺也能幫助到結(jié)核病的研究。
