What are the latent symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrom?


I have a child in my class whose parents are deceased and I suspect that he suffers from FAS, however, I have no clear way of knowing. ny suggestions?
----------

Growth deficiency: The child may be shorter, skinnier, or both than his/her classmates.

Facial features: Typically, those with FAS have a flat philtrum (the groove between the upper lip and nose), a thin upper lip, and decreased eye width.

CNS damage: In the classroom you should see impaired communication skills, learning disabilities, and other general signs of mental retardation.

The best way to know if the child has FAS, however, is to confirm that the mother was in fact drinking during the pregnancy.  (+ info)

What are my odds of getting toxic shock syndrom?


Today I realized I had in two tampons at the same time without knowing. One had been in for about 3 hours, and the other somewhere between 9 and 13. I'm only 14, and couldn't tell my mom right now because she's sitting next to my dad and that'd be too awkward. Please help!
----------

Pull your mom away by saying I have to talk to you. Try really hard not to do that again . Never leave those in longer than 8 hours . Keep an eye on how you are feeling. Ask your mom to . Say hey mom I have something for you to look at and then when she isn't next to your dad say what really happened .  (+ info)

Is it possible for a woman with endometriosis and antiphospholipid syndrom to get pregnent?


She was diagnosed with endo after a problem birth with her first child and in 2005 with A.P.S. The doctors remove her spleen due to an antibody piggybacking on her platelets. The spleen was confusing the antibody as a foreign infection, and the spleen destroyed the fb and the platelets also. Her platelet level has returned to normal and her abilities to clot cuts has returned. Now she want to get pregnent again but, we are worried about the latter problems..... Can anyone assist with an answer or a direction to the right place?
----------

I had 5 healthy babies with endometriosis. The other I was reading and it said it had a lot of people who lose the babies, still born babies, and list of other problems if she was even able to carry the baby. I listed a few sites I looked at. I hope it helps  (+ info)

Can I get toxic shcok Syndrom by wearing a tampon over nitght?


I am so scaird to where a tampon for tonight over.I think i will get toxic shock syndrome from wearing it over night.My pierod is really hevey right now and it is my second tay of my pierod and it is really heavy.One more question how do i control mood swings.Please Answer.
----------

TSS does not happen to everybody. I wear tampons at night and rarely don't have one in for the 5 days of my period. I have yet to have a problem with it, but somtimes do feel pain in my abdomen and then take the tampon out. It really just varies from person to person. Try leaving a tampon in for an extended period of time when you are NOT sleeping and see what happens. At the first onset of slight pain take it out, but you could be good to go. As far as mood swings go, if you are talking about during your period....a really good birth control pill can help to ease that. Other than that, I would see an OBGYN and get "real doctor" information from them. Hope this was helpful! (BTW this is Paul B's wife....he wanted me to make sure and say that:))  (+ info)

I myself have this, and have had it since I was a teenager, I am now in my 50's. I have mixed connective tissue illness, which includes systemic lupus
I have used all types of things during the course of this situation and I can finally say to you that I have found 2 products which work really well for me. I am sure there are many other products that are out there but these are the 2 that I have decided to stick with.
As far as a prescription---Ammonium Lactate Lotion, 12% works great during the Cleveland cold weathers. LOL
Kiss My Face-Obsessively natural "Olive & Aloe, this is an ultra Moisturizer Hydratant for sensitive skin-I use this every day and it is wonderful.
As you know you should be drinking a lot of water and eating good fruit & veg.

How can using tampons make you get toxic shock syndrom?


I just started using tampons, but i don't understand how it can make you get TSS.
----------

Your vagina lubricates itself constantly. By putting in a tampon your body is unable to discharge properly that can cause TSS in only an hour or two. It is false that it only happens if left in too long. It is because of your body adjusting that your not supposed to use them for your first year of menstruation.  (+ info)

What is the difference between the Multiple Sclerosis and the Friedreich syndrom?


My brother has something that goes between both of them and even doctors couldn't identify it.he also has a malformation of his feet bones.
----------

Multiple sclerosis:

Abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis.
Is a chronic, inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). MS can cause a variety of symptoms, including changes in sensation, visual problems, muscle weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech, severe fatigue, and pain. Although many patients lead full and rewarding lives, MS can cause impaired mobility and disability in the more severe cases.

Multiple sclerosis affects neurons, the cells of the brain and spinal cord that carry information, create thought and perception and allow the brain to control the body. Surrounding and protecting some of these neurons is a fatty layer known as the myelin sheath, which helps neurons carry electrical signals. MS causes gradual destruction of myelin (demyelination) and transection of neuron axons in patches throughout the brain and spinal cord, causing various symptoms depending upon which signals are interrupted. The name multiple sclerosis refers to the multiple scars (or scleroses) on the myelin sheaths. It is thought that MS results from attacks by an individual's immune system on the nervous system and is therefore categorized as an autoimmune disease.

Multiple sclerosis may take several different forms, with new symptoms occurring in discrete attacks or slowly accruing over time. Between attacks, symptoms may resolve completely, but permanent neurologic problems often persist. Although much is known about how MS causes damage, its exact cause remains unknown. MS currently does not have a cure, though several treatments are available which may slow the appearance of new symptoms. MS primarily affects adults, with an age of onset typically between 20 and 40 years, and is more common in women than in men.

Friedreich Ataxia:

Friedreich's ataxia is an inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system resulting in symptoms ranging from gait disturbance and speech problems to heart disease. It is named after the German physician Nicholaus Friedreich, who first described the condition in the 1860s. "Ataxia," which refers to coordination problems such as clumsy or awkward movements and unsteadiness, occurs in many different diseases and conditions. The ataxia of Friedreich's ataxia results from the degeneration of nerve tissue in the spinal cord and of nerves that control muscle movement in the arms and legs. The spinal cord becomes thinner and nerve cells lose some of their myelin sheath the insular covering on all nerve cells that helps conduct nerve impulses.

Friedreich's ataxia, although rare, is the most prevalent inherited ataxia, affecting about 1 in every 50,000 people in the United States. Males and females are affected equally.

Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive congenital ataxia and is caused by a mutation in Gene X25 that codes for frataxin, located on chromosome 9. This protein is essential in neuronal and muscle cells for proper functioning mitochondria and the mutation causes inadequate production of frataxin. This results in, among other things, a degeneration of nerve tissue in the spinal cord.

Delatycki et al. (2000) provided an overview of the clinical features, pathology, molecular genetics, and possible therapeutic options in Friedreich ataxia.

Friedreich's ataxia and muscular dystrophy, though often compared, are completely different diseases. Muscular dystrophy is the result of muscle tissue degeneration whereas Friedreich's ataxia is the result of nervous tissue degeneration caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion mutation. Both are researched by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

There are two types, the classic form and one in association with a genetic vitamin E deficiency. They cannot be distinguished clinically.  (+ info)

Does anyone know any remedies for Carpel Tunnel Syndrom?


I've been having problems for almost 4 years with my right hand going numb, especially around the thumbs joints. Since I started working at a pizza joint, it's gotten worse. My thumb and wrist get so sore I can barely move them. I think I have Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Everyone says that it will go away, but it hasn't, so I am going to see a doctor in a couple of weeks, but does anyone know some remedies that will help till then.
----------

The best thing is to rest the affected area as much as possible, which is probably impossible. There are carpal tunnel splints available to help isolate and protect the wrist. Even if you just wore them at night,it might help.  (+ info)
