Woman with Keen Sense of Smell Helps Parkinson’s Researchers
嗅觉敏锐的女子帮助了帕金森症的研究
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.
一名自称能在人们出现症状之前就闻到帕金森病的女性帮助研究人员开发了一种早期检测试验。乔伊·米尔恩在丈夫被诊断出患有帕金森病的12年前就注意到他身上有一种奇怪的麝香味。她曾前往一个帕金森症患者支援团，发现他们身上都有同样的气味。一位神经生物学家与米尔恩合作，鉴定这种气味及其物质。过去三年里，研究人员一直在与米尔恩及其敏锐的嗅觉合作，研发一种早期检测的试验方法。研究人员希望米尔恩的敏锐嗅觉也能帮助到结核病的研究。
