EMedicine - Transient Global Amnesia : Article Excerpt By: Roy Sucholeiki, MD
transient global amnesia transient global amnesia (TGA) has been a well-described phenomenon for more than 40 years. Excerpt from transient global amnesia.
http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/byname/transient-global-amnesia.htm

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: transient memory loss, paroxysmal loss of memory, transient loss of memory, immediate recall ability, remote memory, retrograde memory loss, semantic memory, syntax memory, visual-spatial skills, amnesia Background: Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been a well-described phenomenon for more than 40 years. Clinically, it manifests with a paroxysmal, transient loss of memory function. Immediate recall ability is preserved, as is remote memory; however, patients experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. In some cases, the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly ask questions concerning transpiring events. On mental status examination, language function is preserved, which indicates a preservation of semantic and syntax memory. Attention is spared, visual-spatial skills are intact, and social skills are retained. Symptoms typically last less than 24 hours. As the syndrome resolves, the amnesia improves, but the patient may be left with a distinct lapse of recollection for events during the attack. Pathophysiology: The precise pathophysiology of TGA is not clear. On positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), blood flow to specific brain areas that involve memory appears to be disrupted transiently during TGA. This includes the thalamus and/or mesial temporal structures (in particular the amygdala and hippocampus).

Extractions: This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 202 On Serendip A little while ago, my father and grandfather were driving in our car together. All of a sudden, my grandfather said that he was feeling dizzy and thought the beginnings of a migraine were coming on. My grandfather is extremely healthy and has an amazing memory, so my father was shocked when not long after, when grandfather asked where Ruthy, his recently deceased wife, was. When my father reminded him that she had died of cancer last year, my grandfather broke into tears, as if he was being told for the first time. In addition, he couldn't even remember what he had just eaten for dinner or any other events of the day. My father drove him straight to the emergency room, worried that he had perhaps just suffered a minor stoke. By the time that he got to the hospital, he was already beginning to regain some of the memories that had been lost. The doctors reassured him that it was not a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia.

Lipitor - Thief Of Memory
I awoke six hours later in the office of the examining neurologist with the diagnosis of transient global amnesia, cause unknown.
http://www.spacedoc.net/lipitor_thief_of_memory.html

Extractions: Statin drugs, while curtailing cholesterol, must inevitably inhibit the production of other vital intermediary products that originate further down the metabolic pathway beyond the statin blockade. The pharmaceutical industry has long been attempting to develop a means by which interference with cholesterol production might be achieved beyond the point where these vital intermediary product originate but up to now have failed. The inevitability of significant, serious and even lethal side effects has been knowingly accepted. Ubiquinone coenzyme production is one of these collaterally damaged compounds of great concern. Biosynthesized in the mitochondriathe tiny powerhouse of the cell that is responsible for cellular respiration and energyubiquinone is mandatory for proper cardiac muscle function and the health and well being of muscle cells and peripheral nerves. In addition to statin myopathy and rhabdomyolysis we now are seeing peripheral neuropathy and congestive cardiac failure.
Cholesterol
transient global amnesia ( TGA ) probably has been around as long as man but the first reported case of this bizarre theft of memory was made in 1955.
http://www.spacedoc.net/Statins_flyer.html

Extractions: This potential problem of statin drug associated memory dysfunction while flying is further confounded by the reality that amnesia is but the tip of the iceberg of the many other forms of memory lapses that occur far more commonly. An increased tendency for disorientation, confusion and forgetfulness can be easy to miss in many individuals, for a certain degree of this is in the nature of all of us. And although I have focused this presentation directly on pilots and, by inference, flight crews, what of commercial truck and bus drivers and heavy equipment operators? What about the operators of dangerous tools? The list is limited only by one's imagination.

Extractions: transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary and isolated disorder of memory. The patient is usually over 50 years old and an attack may last several hours. The patient with TGA: Precipitating factors include sexual intercourse and heavy physical exercise, particularly swimming in cold water. There is a correlation between TGA and migraine. There is no excess of cerebrovascular disease in patients with TGA. There is no treatment.
