In Conclusion: that whole Down Syndrome thing
2011-05-22 17:26:00 Long story short time! We spent seven months of my last pregnancy not knowing if our child had Down Syndrome following some ghastly first trimester red flags. It was scary. I chose to ignore further invasive testing, sewed some matching sister dresses and waited for her birth. As I stitched these dresses: . . . . I remember thinking, "I don't care if she doesn't have arms, she can still wear this!" Gratefully, thankfully I am happy to report that she not only has two arms and equal sets of chromosomes, but she's also pretty stinking cute. Life? It is good. Putting the girls in these dresses today reminded me to give a shout out to all the Down Syndrome mamas that...

Joy Behar Syndrome: A TV Epidemic Worse than Jersey Shore
2011-03-27 21:37:00 Joy Behar is not a political journalist. She is a comedienne, and a second-rate one at that. Behar is simply drawn to the power that Liberalism spouts. She represents all that I hate in Liberals: a Liberal who follows the pack and doesn't know how to form her own political ideals. What can you do to end the madness that is J. Behar!

Friday the 13th odds, medically speaking for Down Syndrome
2010-08-14 03:57:00 It's nearly 9:00. Officially, the past 36 hours of my life have had more anxiety, internet searches and conversations with doctors than I ever care to repeat.It was around 9:00 yesterday morning that I got a voicemail from my midwife. Two messages, actually, that I had blown off the previous day because I had been enjoying summer. It was probably just some reminder call about my appointment in a few weeks, right? Imagine my blood standing still when I got ahold of her and she told me there were red flags popping up in my blood screen. Red flags. For birth defects.I don't know what hit me first, the word "termination" floating around in that conversation or images of a...

The Social Media Herd Syndrome – Will We Kill The Golden Goose?
2010-05-24 13:17:00 Nothing succeeds like Success and also nothing is followed as much as success is. Its been 4 years (almost) since I started blogging and almost 3 since I started advising brands and corporates on social media communications. In hindsight Ive made many mistakes on many fronts both while blogging and while advising clients. One thing is for sure thought I didn’t follow anyone. At the time when I started I did so because I found it interesting, intriguing and a fun thing to do. Even today with very little time on my hands and with hectic schedules it still is a fun thing to do (Though I wish I had more time). The herd is here.. Now over the last year or so Ive seen people from all quarters *(IT consultants, Architects, Bankers etc) chuck their jobs and look at social media as a prospective business/career. Now before you say what’s wrong in that? Id like to clarify that Im the happiest when I see so many people venture into this space as its a space that is bound to grow a...

Movie-Related Stockholm Syndrome
2010-05-17 20:01:00 When my son was born, I promised myself and him that he was going to grow up watching good movies and none of the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel crap that was plaguing the theaters. Things went well for a while. I introduced him to most of the Pixar movies and the Muppet films (He loves Ratatouille and Muppets Take Manhattan -- He's a big fan of rats cooking in kitchens). He was into Wall-E and the Toy Story films. He was happy, and I was happy because we were watching good, quality films together.Then he started getting an opinion.He became fascinated with the Planet 51 posters, so my husband took him to see that movie. He laughed every time...

Budd-Chiari Syndrome
2009-11-27 14:03:00 Budd-Chiari syndrome is caused by blood clots that completely or partially block the large veins that carry blood from the liver (hepatic veins) into the inferior vena cava. Some people have no symptoms, but others experience fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice. Fluid may accumulate in the abdomen, the spleen may enlarge, and sometimes severe bleeding occurs in the esophagus. Doppler ultrasonography can detect narrowed or blocked veins. Drugs may be used to dissolve or decrease the size of the clot, or a connection may be made between veins to allow blood to bypass the liver. Budd-Chiari syndrome usually occurs when a clot narrows or blocks the hepatic veins. Because blood flow out of the liver is impeded, blood accumulates in the liver, causing it to enlarge. The spleen may also enlarge. The backup of blood (congestion) in the hepatic veins causes blood pressure in the portal vein to increase. This increased pressure, called portal hypertension, can result i...

Alagille Syndrome
2009-11-24 14:17:00 Alagille syndrome is a rare, inherited disorder in which bile flow from the liver is decreased and the there are fewer than normal bile ducts. Alagille syndrome is a disorder that often affects the liver and other organs, including the heart, eyes, spine and kidneys. Often, patients with alagille syndrome have distinctive facial appearances. A small number of patients (about 15%) go on to develop severe liver disease and require liver transplantation. This disorder is usually present at birth. Alagille syndrome is one of the most common inherited disorders that causes reduced bile flow within the liver. It occurs about once in every 100,000 births. What are the causes of alagille syndrome? Recent studies have discovered that defects of a specific gene cause alagille syndrome. The disease usually is inherited from one parent. A single copy of the diseased gene (received from either the mother or father) "dominates" the other normal gene and results in this disease. Ther...

Cognitive Dysfunction Reversed in Mouse Model of Down?s Syndrome
2009-11-18 18:15:00 A study by neuroscientist William C. Mobley, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, and colleagues at Stanford University Medical School has demonstrated a possible new approach to slowing the inevitable progression of cognitive decline found in Down?s syndrome. The study, published in Science Translational Medicine on November 18, revealed two important new findings about Down?s syndrome in a mouse model: 1) there is evidence that synaptic terminals involved in neurotransmission are damaged long before the cells show degeneration; and 2) while cell signaling is damaged, the receptors are not, but are functioning and still trying to find signals. ?If we focus only on damage to cell bodies, we underestimate the importance of timing and the potential window for treatment of Down?s syndrome,? said Mobley, one of the nation?s leading experts in the disease. He added that this study in mice shows some of the ea...

What is Broken Heart Syndrome?
2009-05-01 06:48:00 There is hope for people suffer from "Broken Heart Syndrome", a condition first described by Japanese researchers in the early 1990s Patients with this condition, called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy,transient apical ballooning or stress cardiomyopathy, are often misdiagnosed as having a masive heart attack. In fact, what they have suffered from is a surge in adrenalin(epinephrine) and other stress hormones tha have temporaily stunned the heart.

According to Reuters report, Dr Richard REgnante from Warren Alert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, and his colleagues, said that it appears that the syndrome is temporary and completely reversible. The symptoms typically mimic a heart attack and tend to soon after an intense physical or emotional event.

Post-traumatic stress tied to metabolic syndrome
2009-02-06 18:50:00 A new study of U.S. veterans suggests that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and metabolic syndrome, the group of symptoms that increases heart disease and diabetes risk, may be linked. Dr. Pia S. Heppner of the Veterans Affairs San Diego Health System in La Jolla and her colleagues found that the more severe a person?s PTSD symptoms, the more likely they were to also have the metabolic syndrome. Evidence is mounting that exposure to trauma can worsen physical health, including increasing heart disease risk, Heppner and her team note in the journal BMC Medicine.
Biblical Battered Wife Syndrome
2009-01-26 19:44:00 Biblical Battered Wife Syndrome: Christian Women and Domestic Violence is article written by Kathryn Joyce on Religion Dispatches. Kathryn is also the author of, "Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement"This article was written about Saddleback Church's position on domestic violence, divorce, and how they feel it should be handled. I had written prior how I think their stand on how you 'can't escape the pain' so you need to separate and figure this things out is an unrealistic view of the overall picture he is attempting to address. The article in question goes into that audio I spoke about, and also another one that speaks about miserable marriages. Tom Holladay decided that he could qualify what he feels as domestic violence as being, "habit of beating you regularly". A SHOVE doesn't qualify you see!Three writers that I have spoke about here prior were quoted within the article. Jocelyn Andersen of Woman Submit! Christians & Domestic Violence and Danni Moss...
Kawasaki Syndrome Travolta Son death
2009-01-09 19:37:00 John Travolta’s 16 year old Son, Jett Travolta died a few days back. The Travolta’s said that he was suffering from a disease called as “Kawasaki Syndrome” and all of a sudden, the term has caught the headlines of every magazine and news website.I was a bit curious to know what this disease was and hence I dug through everything that was available. The disease had strange symptoms and was not that widely spread, hence the availability of very little knowledge. Kawasaki syndrome is also known as ‘lymph node syndrome’, ‘mucocutaneous node disease’, ‘infantile polyarteritis’ and ‘Kawasaki disease’. It is an inflammation (vasculitis) of the middle-sized arteries. It affects many organs, including the skin, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, and blood vessel walls, but the most serious effect is on the heart. It is called so, because it was first described by Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1967 in Japan. Kawasaki Syndrome is predo...

I was recently interviewed by WebMD to explore this important area of health.Below is a portion of that interview, along with some Q&A. MD: Welcome to WebMD Live, Jed. Thank you for joining us today. What is irritable male syndrome? Is this a new problem or a newly recognized problem?JD: This is really based on 40 years of my own clinical research as well as responses from 50,000 men who have taken the IMS quiz. We've discovered why millions of men are becoming angry and depressed, and why they so often vent their frustration on the women they love the most. Irritable male syndrome (IMS) can be defined as a state of hypersensitivity, frustration, anxiety, and anger that occurs in males and is associated with...
