CHICAGO — Use of an in-home therapy desk improved motor skills and balance and reduced sedentarism in adults with Parkinson’s disease, according to data at the International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders World Congress.

Young and middle-aged adults whose systolic BP rose at least 6.5 mm Hg upon standing were more likely to have CV and renal events later in life compared with others, researchers reported in Hypertension.
