Speaker
Prof. Per Borghammer,
Center Director, Lundbeck Foundation Parkinson's Disease Research Center (PACE),Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark (DK)
Per Borghammer is a professor of Nuclear Medicine & Neuroscience, Medical Faculty of Aarhus University and the director of the Lundbeck Foundation Parkinson’s Disease Research Center (PACE), Aarhus University. He specializes in clinical imaging of neurodegenerative disorders - especially Parkinson’s disease. He pioneered the development of novel PET imaging techniques to quantify the loss of parasympathetic innervation to internal organs and recently proposed the brain-first vs. body-first model of Lewy body disorders.
Transcript insufficient for evidence summary
The provided transcript is largely unintelligible and does not contain extractable scientific statements about brain-first and body-first subtypes of Lewy body disease. A reliable summary limited to transcript content is therefore not possible. Please provide a clearer transcript or recording-derived text.
The continuing education session titled Brain-first and body-first subtypes of Lewy body disease is delivered by Prof. Per Borghammer and is organized by Klinik Barmelweid. At the beginning of the session, the moderator introduces Prof. Borghammer as a colleague from Denmark. The session starts with technical difficulties affecting the computer, image transmission, camera function, and audio connection. The moderator and technical team attempt to restore functionality, including checking screen sharing and communication links. Because of these persistent technical problems, the presentation content itself is not conveyed in the available transcript. The transcript therefore mainly documents the opening of the event and the efforts to establish a stable connection for the speaker. No substantive scientific discussion of brain-first and body-first subtypes of Lewy body disease is available in the provided transcript.
