The Corsican neurology society focuses on supporting patients with neurodegenerative or autoimmune diseases. This weekend in Calvi, health professionals have returned to certain pathologies such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
In Calvi was held this weekend the spring meeting of the Corsican Society of Neurology.
In the presence of Professor Jean Pelletier from the Center Hospitalier de la Timone in Marseille, there was talk of care but also of support for patients with neurodegenerative or autoimmune diseases.
Some, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, affect older people more. Others, like multiple sclerosis, often affect younger patients.
Corsica is very affected by neurodegenerative or autoimmune diseases without necessarily knowing why.
“As far as degenerative brain diseases are concerned, it may be because we have a population that is a little more aging”explains Georges Retali, neurologist in Bastia.
“For multiple sclerosis, like Sardinia (…) nobody knows why. The ORS is trying to identify the number of patients who are indeed numerous in Corsica.”
