Malicious Mother Syndrome Paper defines the DivorceRelated Malicious Mother syndrome. http://www.deltabravo.net/custody/malice.htm
Extractions: page to do a search on that word. Used with permission from the Fathers' Rights Newsline Ira Daniel Turket, PhD With the increasing commonality of divorce involving children, a pattern of abnormal behavior has emerged that has received little attention. The present paper defines the Divorce Related Malicious Mother Syndrome. Specific nosologic criteria are provided with abundant clinical examples. Given the lack of scientific data available on the disorder, issues of classification, etiology, treatment, and prevention appear ripe for investigation. INTRODUCTION A divorced man gains custody of his children and his ex-wife burns down his home. A woman in a custody battle buys a cat for her offspring because her divorcing husband is highly allergic to cats. A mother forces her children to sleep in a car to "prove" their father has bankrupted them. The actions illustrate a pattern of abnormal behavior that has emerged as the divorce rate involving children has grown. Today, half of all marriages will end in divorce (Beal and Hochman, 1991). The number of children involved in divorce has grown dramatically (e.g., Hetherington and Arastah, 1988) as well. While the majority of such cases are "settled" from a legal perspective, outside the courtroom the battle continues.

Extractions: There are not many ultrastructural studies on this syndrome. The ultrastructural level of blister formation has not been well characterized. The cutis of the hand back of our patient has been examined at the electronic microscope and it shows a thinned epidermis with a normal keratinization and a compact corneous ortokeratosic layer. A dermo epidermic flaking is noticed in several points and at different levels.

Addison's Disease And Type I Diabetes Information about Schmidt's syndrome a polyglandular autoimmune syndrome involving adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) plus autoimmune thyroid disease and/or insulindependent diabetes mellitus. http://addisons-diabetes.gkznet.com/
Extractions: Home Control My Endo History Links AddisonsDiabetes Forum ... Contact Background My name is Glenn Kardel. I have polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II, frequently referred to as Schmidt's syndrome. The classic manifestations of this syndrome are adrenal insufficiency plus autoimmune thyroid disease and/or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. I have all three of the above conditions: Addison's disease , hypothyroidism, and type I diabetes. Addisons and hypothyroidism are treated with oral hormone replacement medications. Type I diabetes is the most serious and difficult to control of the three conditions. Treatment usually involves balancing insulin therapy administered through injections or a pump, diet, and exercise with the goal of maintaining normal blood sugar levels. After I was diagnosed with Addisons and started taking hydrocortisone, I started to have highly variable blood sugars. I began to have sugars in the 300's and also frequent hypoglycemic episodes. I started searching for information about the interaction between Addisons and diabetes or any special treatment strategies related to the two conditions and was surprised to find almost nothing. Given the adverse and potentially dangerous effect Addisons has on diabetes, this information should be explicitly stated and available to people with Addisons and diabetes. This website is my attempt to provide information on this subject and hopefully connect with others who have useful information about Addisons and diabetes.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Among the topics discussed are primary and secondary APS, clinical manifestations, treatment and further reading. http://www.neuroland.com/cvd/aps.htm
Extractions: health care professionals click on brain to return to index page Neuroland Search site Neuro Med Neuro Note Texas Dr ... YSL Primary APS: no underlying systemic disorder Secondary APS: presence of an underlying disease, most commonly SLE. Antiphospholipid antibody: two main groups. Lupus anticoagulants (LA): dRVVT used as both a screening and confirmatory test. It is a sensitive assay, provides accurate results during pregnancy. A prolonged dRVVT may be better than other tests for predicting arterial thrombosis. Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA): Predictive value probably rises with the titer. Both IgG and IgM ACA may carry a risk, the correlation seems to be stronger with IgG antibodies. A mild increase involve very little risk. No direct correlation between the concentration of antibodies and extent of thrombosis. Whether elevated cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, or phosphatidylethanolamine antibodies are a cause of stroke or are only a marker of the presence of other precursors of stroke remains unknown. Associated laboratory abnormalities: may include a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, false-positive VDRL, elevated ANA, ESR, thrombocytopenia.

The Facts About Tourette Syndrome Basic information about Tourette's syndrome. Includes a list of symptoms classified as either simple or complex. http://members.tripod.com/~tourette13/
Extractions: Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. Diagnostic criteria include: Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics present at some time, although not necessarily simultaneously; The occurrence of tics many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently throughout the span of more than one year; Periodic changes in the number, frequency, type and location of the tics, and in the waxing and waning of their severity. Symptoms can sometimes disappear for weeks or months at a time; Onset before the age of 18. Although the word "involuntary" is used to describe the nature of the tics, this is not entirely accurate. It would not be true to say that people with TS have absolutely no control over their tics, as though it was some type of spasm; rather, a more appropriate term would be "compelling." People with TS feel an irresistable urge to perform their tics, much like the need to scratch a mosquito bite. Some people with TS are able to hold back their tics for up to hours at a time, but this only leads to a stronger outburst of tics once they are finally allowed to be expressed.
