Driving is a hallmark of independence. For anyone with Parkinson’s disease, it’s important to be alert to any changes or difficulties with it, UCI Health neurologist Dr. Nicolás M. Phielipp tells Everyday Health. That includes trouble turning the head, forgetting to check mirrors or feeling anxious behind the wheel.

“Most people will do well for many years, as long as we address their symptoms. Sometimes it’s hard to realize when things have changed.”

A person diagnosed with kidney failure or end-stage renal disease has two options: dialysis or transplant.

In a perfect world, says Dr. Robert R. Redfield III, chief of the UCI Health Kidney Transplant Program, transplants would happen as soon as they are needed with a living kidney donation. Dialysis is hard work, he says.

“The first thing patients need to understand is that a kidney from a living donor is simply the superior option.”

ALS patient David Luce sought out a UCI Health clinical trial to fight the disease that had claimed the lives of his father and sister. Four years later, the artist calls the therapy a game-changer, adding, "There is hope, even with a terminal diagnosis."

UCI Health neurologist Dr. Namita Goyal, who is delighted by Luce’s progress, says she has treated at least four other patients with the drug tofersen who have experienced similar results. “This is an exciting time for ALS researchers," she says. "I know that there is a cure out there. We’re getting closer to identifying it each and every day.”

UCI Health collaborated with Servite High School and Anaheim Fire & Rescue on Every 15 Minutes, a two-day program that challenges high school juniors and seniors to think about the consequences of drinking and driving. It’s the first time the program has returned to an Orange County high school since before the pandemic.

Last week, first responders staged a simulated DUI crash scene on a street adjacent to the school’s campus.

One of the injured students was taken to the emergency department at UCI Health, where clinicians, including nurses and trauma surgeons, simulated what happens when someone injured in a drunk driving crash arrives at the county’s only Level I trauma center.
