Extractions: Le 14 mars 2003, le ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée a alerté les fournisseurs de soins de santé de l'existence de quatre cas de pneumonie atypique, dont deux ont entraîné la mort des personnes atteintes, au sein d'une famille de Toronto. Ces cas ont fourni un lien épidémiologique du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère en Ontario. Le 26 mars, le SRAS était déclaré une urgence provinciale. Le ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée a pris des mesures pour enrayer la propagation du SRAS en isolant les personnes qui y avaient été exposées, en limitant les visites dans les hôpitaux et en adoptant de nouvelles procédures de contrôle de l'infection à tous les niveaux du système de santé. L'Organisation mondiale de la santé a confirmé que des cas de SRAS lui avaient été signalés dans 31 pays, dont la Chine, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapour, le Viêt-Nam, les États-Unis et certaines régions du Canada. L'urgence provinciale a été levée le 17 mai 2003. Cette expérience a permis d'établir des pratiques améliorées afin de faire face à de nouvelles infections, comme le SRAS, dans la collectivité et dans le système de santé. Les leçons qui ont été tirées contribueront à assurer une vigilance permanente ainsi que des normes plus rigoureuses dans les hôpitaux, les cabinets de médecins, les cliniques et dans la gestion de tous les types de maladies infectieuses. Toutefois, les responsables de la santé publique et les fournisseurs de soins de santé prennent des précautions supplémentaires afin de réduire les possibilités de réapparition du SRAS durant la saison de la grippe. La réapparition du SRAS en Ontario est plus susceptible de se produire par l'importation du virus d'une source étrangère. En d'autres termes, la propagation du virus est plus susceptible d'être causée par une personne infectée venant d'une région touchée par le SRAS, à l'extérieur du Canada, et qui aurait un contact étroit avec quelqu'un en Ontario.

Extractions: Nail Patella Syndrome (also called Fong's Disease, Hereditary Onycho-Osteodysplasia ['HOOD'] is characterized by several typical abnormalities of the arms and legs as well as kidney disease and glaucoma. It has been recognized as a hereditary condition for over 100 years and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. That is, the risk of transmission is 50% per pregnancy, irrespective of gender (just like flipping a coin). Approximately 20% of cases are sporadic, being the result of a new mutation. The incidence is approximately 1 in 50,000 and occurs throughout the world in all ethnic groups. NPS Annual Conference
Magnesium Reviews Mitral Valve Prolapse as a symptom of a magnesium deficiency as well as Anxiety and Psychiatric Disorders, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome and many other disorders. http://www.ctds.info/5_13_magnesium.html
Extractions: Con nective Tissue Disorder Home Search Site Map ... Links Magnesium is a must. The diets of all Americans are likely to be deficient........Even a mild deficiency causes sensitiveness to noise, nervousness, irritability, mental depression, confusion, twitching, trembling, apprehension, insomnia, muscle weakness and cramps in the toes, feet, legs, or fingers. Adelle Davis, writing in Let's Have Healthy Children Read my Magnesium (Mg) is a trace mineral that is known to be required for several hundred different functions in the body. A significant portion of the symptoms of many chronic disorders are identical to symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Studies show many people in the U.S. today do not consume the daily recommended amounts of Mg. A lack of this important nutrient may be a major factor in many common health problems in industrialized countries. Common conditions such as mitral valve prolapse, migraines, attention deficit disorder, fibromyalgia, asthma and allergies

Contact Us The Mycosis Fungoides Foundation (MFF) is an independent, non-profit patient advocacy organization dedicated to supporting patients with mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome and other forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas by: The Mycosis Fungoides Foundation, in collaboration with Dr. Marie-France Demierre of Boston University of Medicine, has developed a survey to understand the multiple ways that cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) impacts the quality of patients' lives. Dr. Demierre and her colleagues have shown that CTCL can seriously affect patients' quality of life and these findings have important implications in how physicians treat CTCL. Further information is needed, however, and so we are seeking your help. The survey only takes a few minutes to take and should be completed only by patients who have been diagnosed with CTCL or by a caregiver on behalf of the patient. All survey information will be processed anonymously and remain completely confidential. It is intended that the result of the survey will be published in medical literature.

MOEBIUS SYNDROME SUPPORT NETWORK HOMEPAGE Bringing together information from and links to medical and lay support for those affected by Moebius syndrome. http://www.ciaccess.com/moebius/
Extractions: What is Moebius Syndrome? Moebius Syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by lifetime facial paralysis. People with Moebius Syndrome can't smile or frown, and they often can't blink or move their eyes from side to side. In some instances, the syndrome is also associated with physical problems in other parts of the body. The Moebius Syndrome Foundation is a nonprofit organization started by parents and people with Moebius Syndrome. We've come together to do what we can to fight back - by spreading the word among the medical and lay communities and by supporting research into the causes, treatments, and possible cures for Moebius Syndrome. Moebius Syndrome is extremely rare. Two important nerves - the sixth and seventh cranial nerves - are not fully developed, causing eye muscle and facial paralysis. The movements of the face - blinking, lateral eye movements, and facial expressions are controlled by these nerves. Many of the other 12 cranial nerves may also be affected, including the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th.

Peptide Natriurétique De Type B démontré dans ce contexte. Toutefois, il représente un facteur pronostique http://www.esculape.com/cardiologie/bnp.html
Extractions: Comme les autres peptides natriurétiques, le BNP exerce trois actions Une vasodilatation : effet "nitré" Il favorise la diurèse et la natriurèse : effet furosémide Il s'opposenr à l'activité du système rénine angiotensine quand elle est excessive : effet IEC Le BNP apporte donc une réponse physiologique et proportionnelle à l'insuffisance ventriculaire gauche. Le taux plasmatique BNP s'élève avec l'âge, est légèrement plus élevé chez les femmes et le traitement hormonal substitutif l'agmente de 20 % environ. Enfin, il peut être également augmenté en cas de valvulopathies, hypertension artérielle pulmonaire primitive, cirrhose hépatique, hyperthyroïdie, maladie de Cushing, insuffisance rénale, hypoxie et tumeurs cérébrales.
