| Â | Ockhams Razor - 29/06/2003: Towards a Cure of Neurological Illness |
 | | While not likely to be a panacea for all neurological illness, or to offer effective cures for many years, it is an incredibly important area which has huge promise for the future. | | | We can say for both the conditions I have focused on, as for many others, that we understand the condition that you, your child or your relative have much better than we did in the past. | | | This, coupled with early diagnosis, is the main hope of improved outcomes in the near future and for the current generation of patients. |

| Â | Mixed Method Studies of Caregiving in Chronic Neurological Illness |
| | Topics include mixed methods for exploring concept triangulation versus concept completeness; using mixed methods in constructing multi-dimension models for integrating data on caregiving phenomena such as illness characteristics, family kin relationships, lifecycle and lifespan issues. | | | Using the neurological science population as a model, and examples drawn from the experiences of the authors in this symposium, conceptual and methodological issues associated with combining qualitative and quantitative techniques in caregiving research will be discussed. | | | This final paper in the symposium will focus on identification of (1) selected areas of caregiving research that might be best addressed with mixed method designs, (2) specific sampling, data collection and analysis issues that need focused deliberation when mixed methods are used, and (3) research design strategies and techniques to address these issues. |

| | Alternative and Complementary Treatments in Neurological Illness, by Michael Weintraub, is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to broaden his or her knowledge of alternative medicine. | | | Most DCs are somewhat familiar with acupuncture and massage therapy, but have you ever had a patient ask for your thoughts on magnetic therapy or ayurveda? | | | Considering that many alternative therapies are thousands of years old, while Western medicine is only a few hundred years old, they may know something that we don't. |

| | The brain controls the body and its natural functions, which is why when sarcoidosis affects the brain, just about any part of the body and natural body function can be affected. | | | There is no current cure for any form of sarcoidosis, but it can often be controlled with medication. | | | Thus an overactive immune system ends up attacking the very body it was designed to protect and that body's natural functions may thereby be damaged. |

| | The child is prone to emotional outbursts, depressed and still experiences headaches, relieved only with narcotics. | | | Although she has been able to resume part-time work, she has had difficulties coping physically and emotionally with her child’s illness and her divorce. | | | The similarity of the histological changes seen in the brain biopsy of the child to those seen in various spongiform degenerative diseases in both humans and animals (19) should help reopen the issue of whether a virus has been overlooked in the formulation of the prion hypothesis (20). |
