Extractions: helpful? yes no Congenital Insensitivity to Pain: Congenital Indifference to Pain; Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy Types I-IV; HSAN Types I-IV In Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, there are structural abnormalities in peripheral nerves which are the peripheral pathways carrying electrical impulses from pain sensitive nerve endings in both superficial and deep tissues. In Congenital Indifference to Pain, the peripheral nerves are intact and the defect is apparently in the central structures such as the thalamus where painful impulses are normally interpreted. However, it is now thought that some individuals, formerly given a diagnosis of Congenital Indifference to Pain, have been shown by refined histological techniques, which look at the minute structures of bodies, to also have peripheral nerve abnormalities and are therefore examples of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. Nevertheless, Congenital Indifference to Pain almost certainly exists as an independent condition, but is very rare. Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (of which types I to IV are generally accepted, with some other very rare conditions) is usually classified under the more general heading of Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN). The various categories are distinguished according to clinical features, including age of onset, progressive or non-progressive, presence or absence of abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system, if the system is sympathetic (augmenting actions) or parasympathetic (inhibiting actions) and also according to the nature of structural abnormalities in peripheral nerves.

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) - Pathopysiology One extreme example, rileyday syndrome (familial dysautonomia), manifests asboth autonomic dysfunction and episodic vomiting (Axelrod, 1991). http://www.cvsaonline.org/diseaseresearchinfomedicalinfopathophysiology.htm
Extractions: Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of CVS is elusive. Recently, several potential brain-gut mechanisms have been postulated. Support exists for migraine-related mechanisms, and neuronal hyperexcitability is a potential cause of CVS. Because most patients have a family history of migraine (82% vs 14% of control subjects with a chronic vomiting pattern), the authors suspect that these central mechanisms cause both migraines and CVS. In specific migraine subtypes, neuronal hyperexcitability can be induced by reduced mitochondrial energy production and altered intracellular divalent cation concentrations. For example, patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike episodes (MELAS) syndrome experience both CVS and classic migraines related to defective peripheral and central cellular respiratory chain metabolism. Additionally, familial hemiplegic migraines are caused by cortical hyperexcitability due to altered permeability of voltage-gated calcium channels (Cullen, 1963). Other mitochondrial DNA mutations may be involved in the pathogenesis of CVS. Researchers know that 80% of children with CVS have familial migraines on the maternal side only. Boles and colleagues reported a large mitochondrial DNA deletion in a single child with CVS, and they have identified additional mutations concentrated in the D-loop (control region) in other children with CVS (Boles, 1997; Boles, 1999).

This approach aids the ophthalmologist in making an accurate differential diagnosis. The text comprehensively covers all systemic diseases associated with the eye. The book is divided into three parts, each approaching ocular conditions from a different viewpoint. Part One is lavishly illustrated in full color. It describes different ocular conditions and related signs and gives the systemic diseases associated with them. Part Two is also filled with illustrations and covers the differential diagnosis of systemic signs. Part Three links the different ocular and systemic features and signs together. The illustrations are enhanced throughout with brief, bullet-point text that follows a consistent format for ease of reference.

On Serendip An understanding of the brain is essential to developing safe and effective treatments for disorders of the nervous system and for advancing our understanding of the human experience. Nervous system disorders cost the US more than $400 billion in medical expenses each year . In addition to having great clinical significance, such research offers a valuable perspective into the nature of the brain-behavior relationship. The extent to which the brain is organized in terms of overt behavior remains an open question. Because it is difficult to ethically manipulate the neural composition of humans in the laboratory setting, our understanding of the biological and neurophysiological influences on behavior is limited. In the spirit of this class, I have decided to take an alternate route to untangling the connections between brain and behavior. In this paper, I will discuss Familial Dysautonomia, a neurological disease that encapsulates the relationship between sensation, perception, emotion, physiological response and the nervous system.

Extractions: Bulletin Staff A San Francisco toddler with a rare genetic disorder that afflicts only Ashkenazic Jews died this week at nearly 3-1/2 years old. Isa Leah Cymrot-Wu died after an ear infection led to a string of complications related to her disease, familial dysautonomia. "She's like a comet that flew through the sky and our lives," said her mother, Dafna Wu, who co-parented the child with partner Barbara Cymrot. "She just shone so brightly. She beamed." In March of last year, the Bulletin ran a story about the young girl's odyssey. Jewish Family and Children's Services had started a fund to help her parents defray the significant medical costs involved with their child's treatment, which required trips to New York to see an expert on the disease. Familial dysautonomia, or Riley-Day Syndrome, is so rare that only 480 cases worldwide have been reported since 1970. Other than one reported case in San Jose, young Cymrot-Wu was believed to be the only Bay Area baby with the illness. Born on July 20, 1994, Cymrot-Wu exhibited a bizarre array of symptoms almost from the start. Fevers rose and fell without obvious cause. Her limbs appeared floppy. She would gulp and swallow air. She couldn't produce tears. For the first 10 months of her life, she underwent a battery of tests to try and pinpoint the symptoms; all proved inconclusive.

In my play on The Illness and Death of Edgar Allan Poe (presented Monday to a standing room only crowd at the National Library of Medicine that really liked it), I included the following list of all the many names that I have found for the syndrome first named neurasthenia in April 1869, up to the most recent proposal of Chronic Neuroendocrineimmune Dysfunction Syndrome. (I'm sure there are still some I've missed! Please let me know if you know of more). The dates refer to the year of the earliest (and often only one) published paper I could find that defines the disease. I posted an earlier version of this some years ago.
