A few years ago, the opening line in a catalogue of a small McKean-exhibition in Barcelona block lettered: " Dave McKean es un volca " - " Dave McKean, a volcano ". His production is indeed so powerful and unique, relating to volume, but also with regard to quality and diversity. McKean never stops, evolves continuously, renews and surprises always, pushing back the borders with light-years in every field he explores. Whereas he functioned as the guru of the Photoshop-generation for the graphic arts during the 90ties, he accomplishes this role in the universe of digital animation today. Accordingly, he works now on 4 movie projects, including a movie adaptation of " Signal To Noise ", and " Mirror mask ", a movie for the Jim Henson Company . Meanwhile, one seems to forget that he still remains 1 of the top draftsmen of his generation; as well as a gifted narrator, who wrote with " Cages " 1 of the most ambitious and complete novels in the comic book history.

None of the currently available medications enables people with narcolepsy to consistently maintain a fully normal state of alertness. But EDS and cataplexy, the most disabling symptoms of the disorder, can be controlled in most patients with drug treatment. Often the treatment regimen is modified as symptoms change. Whatever the age of onset, patients find that the symptoms tend to get worse over the two to three decades after the first symptoms appear. Many older patients find that some daytime symptoms decrease in severity after age 60. What research is being done?

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, patients fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. Narcoleptic sleep episodes can occur at any time, and thus frequently prove profoundly disabling. People may involuntarily fall asleep while at work or at school, when having a conversation, playing a game, eating a meal, or, most dangerously, when driving an automobile or operating other types of potentially hazardous machinery. In addition to daytime sleepiness, three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy:

Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Narcolepsy affects an estimated 25 in every 100,000 people in the United States. This sleep disorder is primarily characterized by intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime. Three additional symptoms are typically associated with narcolepsy: cataplexy (short-lived intermittent muscle weakness), hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations (hallucinations while falling asleep or waking), and sleep paralysis (paralysis while falling asleep or waking). Narcolepsy usually begins when a person is in their teens or early twenties. Stimulants and antidepressants are used to treat narcolepsy and subsequent cataplexy. Although it has been linked with blood pressure management and depression, the genesis of narcolepsy is unknown. However, recent advances in narcolepsy study suggest the possibility of a cure. Incidence Narcolepsy usually begins in the teens or early twenties (10 to 20 years old), but this varies; both young children and the elderly experience sleep attacks as well. Approximately 125,000 people in the United States alone suffer from this disorder, with an equal incidence among both women and men. Excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep onset are the hallmarks of narcolepsy. Whether narcolepsy is a life-long disorder or not is controversial. Some evidence suggests that it is, while other studies have shown that symptoms fade in older age.

Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Treatment There is no cure for narcolepsy, so excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep onset, and cataplexy are treated symptomatically. Therapies for narcolepsy involve the practice of getting sufficient nocturnal sleep, proper sleep hygiene practice, and drug therapy. Proper sleep hygiene, which includes a consistent sleep schedule and the avoidance of shift work and alcohol, is especially important. Patients with narcolepsy often feel refreshed after a short nap; therefore, taking short scheduled naps may greatly benefit patients combatting excessive daytime sleepiness. For example, a 15-minute nap after lunch and another at 5:30 p.m. may help diminish the intensity of daytime sleepiness and provide temporary alertness. Drug Therapy Stimulants are the mainstay of drug therapy for excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks in narcolepsy patients. These include methylphenidate (Ritalin®), modafinil, dextroamphetamine, and pemoline. Dosages of these medications are determined on a case-by-case basis, and they are generally taken in the morning and at noon. Other drugs, such as certain antidepressants and drugs that are still being tested in the United States, are also used to treat the predominant symptoms of narcolepsy.

Kleine-Levin Syndrome Center for Narcolepsy Narcolepsy is a serious medical disorder and a key to understanding other sleep disorders. Narcolepsy is a disabling illness affecting more than 1 in 2,000 Americans. Most individuals with the disorder are not diagnosed and are thus not treated. The disease is principally characterized by a permanent and overwhelming feeling of sleepiness and fatigue. Other symptoms involve abnormalities of dreaming sleep, such as dream-like hallucinations and finding oneself physically weak or paralyzed for a few seconds (see Symptoms Founded in the early 1970s by Dr. William Dement, the Stanford University Sleep Clinic was the first medical clinic ever established to specialize in sleep disorders. The clinic diagnoses and treats patients who have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep at night, problems with excessive daytime sleepiness or other medical problems occurring during sleep. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was established in the 1980s as part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Today, it is the world leader in narcolepsy research with more than 100 articles on narcolepsy to its name. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was the

Login Directory Merchandise Contact Us ... Abstracts/Annual Meeting Publications Full size image available below Narcolepsy The incurable sleep disorder, narcolepsy, has long mystified scientists. But recently, several discoveries culled from animal research indicate that molecular brain malfunctions may participate in the development of the ailment. The new insights are focusing the search for targeted human treatments for narcolepsy as well as other types of sleeping problems. Dramatically drowsy during calculus class? Maybe it's the monotone teacher, an overdose of David Letterman or, perhaps, narcolepsy. This brain disorder, which afflicts an estimated 200,000 Americans, is marked by an uncontrollable, overwhelming desire to sleep during the day. The attacks can occur at any time, even in the middle of a conversation about yesterday's homework. Narcoleptics also may experience vivid, scary dreams and a temporary inability to move before nodding off or awakening. Bouts of sudden muscle weakness, termed cataplexy, also may erupt. A laughing fit or other experience tied to a strong emotion will set off the weakening, causing problems ranging from a slackened jaw to a complete body collapse where a narcoleptic appears knocked out. Narcolepsy's myriad traits have made it extremely difficult to study. But several recent findings are rousing the field. Much of the new work links special chemicals to the disorder. The studies are leading to:
