It is a kind of dyssomnia edit The main characteristic of narcolepsy is overwhelming excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), even after adequate nighttime sleep. A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep, often at inappropriate times and places. Daytime sleep attacks may occur with or without warning and may be irresistible. These attacks can occur repeatedly in a single day. Drowsiness may persist for prolonged periods of time. In addition, nighttime sleep may be fragmented with frequent wakenings. Three other classic symptoms of narcolepsy, which may not occur in all patients, are: Cataplexy : sudden episodes of loss of muscle function, ranging from slight weakness (such as limpness at the neck or knees, sagging facial muscles, or inability to speak clearly) to complete body collapse. Attacks may be triggered by sudden emotional reactions such as

Optigen Narcolepsy - NARC - Test For Dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, Labrador Retr

Extractions: SEARCH: For: Dachshunds, Doberman Pinschers, and Labrador Retrievers An article by Mary M. Woodsen tells the story of how this test was developed. The article follows below, after the information on testing. Reliable identification of dogs that do not carry disease genes is the key to controlling autosomal recessive diseases. The OptiGen NARC test enables 100% accurate identification of these dogs. Called "genetically clear," "noncarriers" or, more formally, " homozygous normals," such dogs can pass only the normal gene on to all their pups-which means that none of their pups can ever be affected with narcolepsy. These "clear" dogs can be bred to any mate, even to a narcolepsy-affected dog which may be a desirable breeding prospect for other reasons. Homozygous means both copies of the gene in your dog are the SAME - both normal or both NARC. A carrier has one normal and one NARC gene. Because the OptiGen NARC test is a mutation-based gene test, it accurately and specifically identifies normal dogs, carriers (heterozygous dogs) and affecteds. Possible test results are listed in the table below. Possible results using the OptiGen NARC test N= Normal (Clear) Homozygous for normal gene, so will never develop the disease

Extractions: 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.
Narcolepsy - Overview- Sleepchannel
A look at this disorder by the Sleep Disorder Channel.
http://www.sleepdisorderchannel.com/narcolepsy/

Extractions: 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.

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
