These are "good" fats that are as necessary for your health as vitamins. Specifically, GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid. (For more information on the other major category of essential fatty acids, omega-3, see the article on fish oil The body uses essential fatty acids to make various prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These substances influence inflammation and pain; some of them increase symptoms, while others decrease them. Taking GLA may swing the balance over to the more favorable prostaglandins and leukotrienes, making it helpful for diseases that involve inflammation.

I joined a number of Medics, for the first time, who 'Feed the Homeless' in Newcastle on a Saturday evening. This is the only night that the soup kitchen does not open. In the small group of homeless (about 20) that attend regularly, there were at least two with obvious mental health problems, Wernicke's encephalopathy and schizophrenia. Subsequent to this experience I decided to research health care, and health promotion services for homeless people, and write an article intended for a journal (e.g. Primary Health Care Journal / Public Health Journal / the BMJ). Health for the Homeless Shelter estimates that 365,000 people were accepted as 'homeless' by English councils in 1994. But this figure excludes the majority of single homeless people for whom no comprehensive national figures exist. The charity believes that 8600 people were sleeping rough in England in 1994. 'The health status of homeless people is extremely poor when compared to that of the general population' (Power et al.

A drug that is generally safe may not be safe for Huntington's disease (HD). It is good science to test candidate drugs for the treatment of HD with lab animals first . Jerry Posted to the HDL: 10 Jul 2003 A 47 year old woman who had been diagnosed eight years earlier as suffering from Huntington's disease was admitted to hospital, for control of newly diagnosed hypertension (210/120 mm Hg). She had previously been managed at home with haloperidol l'5 mg.thrice daily. On examination she walked without help and had typical features of Huntington's disease, with diffuse involuntary choreiform movements, facial apraxia, and inability to protrude her tongue for longer than five seconds. Her higher mental functions were impaired, although she could communicate and follow simple commands. She was otherwise medically well and had no clinical features of end organ damage due to hypertension.
Huntington's Study Looks Promising, T3 Huntington s disease, or HD, is caused by a single defective gene that is inherited.About one in every 10000 babies worldwide is born with the gene http://www.stanford.edu/group/hopes/rltdsci/hdnews/t3.html
Extractions: July 29, 2002, 5:55PM EDT WASHINGTON - A bile acid the body produces in small amounts is able in laboratory studies to slow the progress of Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited brain disorder that destroys the mind and has affected about 30,000 Americans. "We found in mouse studies that this compound protects the animals' neurons (brain cells) from the effects of the Huntington's disease gene," said C. Dirk Keene, first author of a study appearing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Keene, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, said many more laboratory studies are needed before the drug could be considered for testing in humans, but he said the research is important because it offers the hint of a future treatment for a lethal disorder that now has no treatment. "We hope it will be as effective in humans as it seems to be in rodents," Keene said. "It is an interesting finding that needs to be followed up," said Dr. James F. Gusella, a Huntington's disease researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Medical School. But he cautioned that although animal research provides clues about Huntington's, "They are still quite distant from being able to treat human patients."

Extractions: Huntington's Disease Center Sections of the following information are from the website: http://www.kumc.edu/hospital/huntingtons/swallowing.html Swallowing problems (also known as dysphagia) are common among people with Huntington's disease. Statistics have repeatedly shown that the number one cause of death among person with Huntington's disease is aspiration pneumonia. This can occur when food or liquid enters the airway rather than the esophagus during eating or drinking, and then forms a collection in the lungs that can become a pneumonia. The following is a list of swallowing problems with Huntington's disease. The following is a list of strategies for safe swallowing: Provide small bites and sips Alternate bites with sips to help wash down food Swallow twice for every bite or sip to clear residuals from the mouth Use gravies, sauces, and condiments with dry foods or solids whenever possible
