Media Advisory - IPA Congress Presenter Dr. Paul R. Solomon, featured on NBC Dateline, Aug. 8, 1999

VANCOUVER, B.C. (Aug. 10, 1999) - NBC Dateline last Sunday featured a session with neuropsychologist and scientist Dr. Paul Solomon of Williams College in Massachusetts. The item featured Dr. Solomon's increasingly respected "7-minute screen" to detect and monitor the development of Alzheimer's Disease.

This is to advise that Dr. Solomon will be among the many internationally renowned physicians and scientists - covering the entire field of mental health for an aging population, including the dementias - to attend next week's event. He will be here for the entire Congress, making presentations on several topics.

Dr. Solomon's principal interests are the "under-diagnosis" of Alzheimer's (and thus his 7-minute screen) and "pharmacotherapy" in efforts to slow down the progress of AD in individual patients. He is the author of four books and a regular guest on national U.S. media. He is listed in the American Who's Who and several prestigious listings of American scientists.

He will be available for interviews during his Vancouver visit.
