  • Introduction What is Shingles? Who is at Risk? What are the Symptoms of Shingles? ... Shingles Prevention Study
    Introduction
    When the itchy red spots of childhood chickenpox disappear and life returns to normal, the battle with the virus that causes chickenpox seems to be won. But for all too many of us this triumph of the body's immune system over the virus that causes chickenpox is only temporary. The virus has not been destroyed, but lays low, ready to strike again later in life. This second eruption of the chickenpox virus is the disease called shingles. "I was having exams at college and I got a rash in a band around my waist. I first thought it was chickenpox, but I'd had that years before and instead of itching, this time the spots were very painful," recalls a young woman who had shingles in her twenties.

Lupus (also called systemic lupus erythematosus ) is a disorder of the immune system. Normally, the immune system protects the body against invading infections and cancers. In lupus, the immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the body’s tissues and organs. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, nervous system, and blood vessels. The signs and symptoms of lupus differ from person to person; the disease can range from mild to life threatening. Initial symptoms of lupus may begin with a fever, vascular headaches, epilepsy, or psychoses. A striking feature of lupus is a butterfly shaped rash over the cheeks. In addition to headache, lupus can cause other neurological disorders, such as mild cognitive dysfunction, organic brain syndrome, peripheral neuropathies, sensory neuropathy, psychological problems (including personality changes, paranoia, mania, and schizophrenia), seizures, transverse myelitis, and paralysis and stroke.

    The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
    Cora M. Turpin
    1994 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute The prospect of accurate predictability of human behavior through the analysis of chemical entities flies in the face of our ideals of free thought, self-determination and flexible choices. And yet, genetic research strongly suggests that some human deviant behavior may be explainable by the presence or absence of discernible genes-sequences of chemicals called "base pairs". This unit "The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders," describes some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition.
    Teacher Information
    Family, twin and adoption studies provide convincing arguments for the importance of genetic factors in influencing and /or causing some behavioral traits. A review of basic genetic concepts is essential to glean a full understanding of these inheritance patterns. The student's vocabulary must include these concepts: dominance autosomal recessive sex-linked sex chromosome Punnett square crosses trisomy syndrome deletion pedigree genotype phenotype carrier probability disease It may also be desirable to outline the theoretical development of Molecular Biology as follows:

There is no cure for narcolepsy; however, the symptoms can be controlled with behavioral and medical therapy. The excessive daytime sleepiness may be treated with stimulant drugs or with the drug modafinil (Provigil), which was approved by the FDA for this use in 1999. Cataplexy and other REM-sleep symptoms may be treated with antidepressant medications. At best, medications will reduce the symptoms, but will not alleviate them entirely. Also, many currently available medications have side effects. Basic lifestyle adjustments such as regulating sleep schedules, scheduled daytime naps and avoiding "over-stimulating" situations may also help to reduce the intrusion of symptoms into daytime activities.

Orthostatic hypotension is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. It may be caused by hypovolemia (a decreased amount of blood in the body), resulting from the excessive use of diuretics, vasodilators, or other types of drugs, dehydration, or prolonged bed rest. The disorder may be associated with Addison's disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome and other dysautonomias. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).

    Subscribe to What's New at Argonne , a monthly e-mail newsletter that summarizes stories from Argonne's home page and other Argonne news and provides links to additional information. "The battery designed and engineered by Quallion is the smallest cylindrical, rechargeable battery ever made," said Hisashi Tsukamoto, Chief Executive Officer of Quallion. "It provides a long-life power source that overcomes one of the primary hurdles in medical microelectronics." Previous batteries for medical microelectronics are large, have short lives and are not rechargeable. Consequently, only a few implantable devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, have evolved for patient use. The key to the battery's success is an advanced lithium-ion chemistry that provides a calendar life significantly greater than commercially available lithium batteries. Argonne has extensive experience in developing advanced battery chemistries with extended service life under the Department of Energy's

The cause of Behcet’s disease is unknown, although there have been reports of a virus found in some individuals with the disease. Behcet’s disease generally begins when individuals are in their 20s or 30s, although it can happen at any age. It tends to occur more often in men than in women. Symptoms of Behcet’s disease include recurrent ulcers in the mouth (resembling canker sores) and on the genitals, and eye inflammation. The disorder may also cause various types of skin lesions, arthritis, bowel inflammation, meningitis (inflammation of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord), and cranial nerve palsies. Behcet’s is a multi-system disease; it may involve all organs and affect the central nervous system, causing memory loss and impaired speech, balance, and movement.

    Introduction: The Universal Disorder
    You know it at once. It may be the fiery sensation of a burn moments after your finger touches the stove. Or it's a dull ache above your brow after a day of stress and tension. Or you may recognize it as a sharp pierce in your back after you lift something heavy. It is pain. In its most benign form, it warns us that something isn't quite right, that we should take medicine or see a doctor. At its worst, however, pain robs us of our productivity, our well-being, and, for many of us suffering from extended illness, our very lives. Pain is a complex perception that differs enormously among individual patients, even those who appear to have identical injuries or illnesses. In 1931, the French medical missionary Dr. Albert Schweitzer wrote, "Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself." Today, pain has become the universal disorder, a serious and costly public health issue, and a challenge for family, friends, and health care providers who must give support to the individual suffering from the physical as well as the emotional consequences of pain.
