Extractions: Home Newsletter Pamphlet News and Events ... Links CFS by other names... 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. This one is considerably expanded and may be reposted freely provided this text is kept with it and the list is not changed in any way.

Extractions: All Press Releases for December 10, 2003 PATENT ISSUED FOR NOVEL TREATMENT FOR FAMILIAL DYSAUTONOMIA (Riley-Day Syndrome) The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued today Patent # 6,660,831 METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING DYSAUTONOMIA AND OTHER DYSAUTONOMIC CONDITIONS. The patent, which will remain in force until 2017, covers the use of the neuropeptide secretin for the treatment of symptoms associated with familial dysautonomia. The patent was issued to Dr. Joan Fallon with offices in Yonkers, NY. Familal dysautonomia (FD) which is also known as Riley-day syndrome, is an autosomal recessive disease that affects approximately 1 in 4,000 individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. This disorder is marked by a reduction of unmyelinated and small myelinated fibers as well as a reduction of dopamine-beta-hyrozylase in the blood.

Extractions: Home About Us The Brain Healthy Brain ... Site Map DHTML_MENU_rel_path = '/squizlib/dhtml_menu/images/'; Familial Dysautonomia (also known as Riley-Day Syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the sensory and autonomic nerve system. It is found primarily in children of Eastern European Jewish background (Ashkenazi Jews) who have inherited two recessive genes (i.e. one from each parent). People born with this disorder have a reduced number of nerve fibres; as a result, they have reduced sensations of pain, touch, temperature and taste. In addition, they are unable to produce overflow tears, have impaired motor coordination, and have difficulty with sucking and swallowing. This leads to repeated vomiting, and frequent lung infections that are brought about by gastrointestinal fluids entering the lungs. Other problems that may occur include excessive sweating, seizures, scoliosis and delayed puberty in girls. While there is no cure for this genetic disorder, medical care is directed at relieving the symptoms it causes. For example, a feeding tube inserted into the stomach can assist in feeding, and prevent fluids etc. from entering the lungs, while drugs are prescribed to prevent vomiting and seizures, eye drops lubricate dry eyes, and surgery can correct scoliosis. With improved medical care, the life expectancy of people with Dysautonomia is increasing, and about 50 per cent live to the age of 30.

Mitral Valve Prolapse isn t. There is a genetic form of dysautonomia, called rileyday syndrome, most frequently, if not exclusively, found in families of European Jewish descent. http://www.icorp.net/cardio/articles/mvp-dys.htm
Extractions: Cardiovascular Institute of the South Take two commonly occurring medical conditions, put them together and what do you have? In the case of mitral valve prolapse syndrome, you may have a nonexistent disorder that causes a lot of people a good deal of very real discomfort. Mitral valve syndrome links a common and generally benign heart valve malfunction and an equally prevalent neurological stress response to explain a pattern of symptoms that may owe their existence largely, if not exclusively, to our harried lifestyle. Whatever its explanation, mitral valve prolapse syndrome is rarely dangerous, and the measures required to control it are fairly simple though not 100 percent effective. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the valve between the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart closes imperfectly. The definition of MVP has been made more specific in recent years, so only about one person in ten currently meets the criteria. Previously it was as high as one in three. Common as it is, a majority of those who have the condition aren't even aware of it. Of the 40 percent who do have symptoms, fatigue, heart palpitations, headache, chest pain and anxiety and panic attacks are the usual complaints, with intermittent bouts of extreme fatigue being by far the most common. In a very small percentage of cases, the mitral valve functions so poorly that it can cause potentially dangerous arrhythmias and other problems which will necessitate surgical repair or even valve replacement.

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.
Extractions: Bulletin Staff It's not that Isa Leah Cymrot-Wu didn't cry as an infant, it's just that there were no tears. And that was only one unusual symptom the baby exhibited after she was born last July 20th. Specialists were baffled by the wide-faced child's bizarre constellation of symptoms; her fever spiked and sank seemingly without cause, her limbs looked floppy, she would gulp and swallow air. Her parents, lesbian partners Barbara Cymrot and Dafna Wu, were terrified. Wu had chosen a sperm donor a good friend from college and the two had been carefully screened for medical problems. But there is no way to screen for familial dysautonomia, or Riley-Day Syndrome as it is also called, a disease so rare there have been only 480 reported cases worldwide since 1970. "I knew something was really wrong," says Wu, a labor and delivery nurse in San Francisco. But no doctor could explain the underweight baby's intermittent problems with breathing and digestion. For the first 10 months of her life, the baby underwent a battery of tests that were all inconclusive. Doctors may not have suspected Wu, who is half Jewish and half Chinese, of carrying the rare genetic disorder that afflicts only Ashkenazic Jews.
