Doctor: I spotted Connolly's Parkinson's after watching him walk

Posted: Published on March 2nd, 2014

Orthopaedic surgeon Gary Fettke, from Tasmania, met Connolly in a Los Angeles hotel lobby and revealed to the comedian the possibility he may have Parkinson's. The surgeon had approached the Glasgow comedian to ask for an autograph but, after watching the way the 71-year-old was walking, he decided to tell him that he was showing early signs of Parkinson's. Loading article content Dr Fettke was in the Sportsmen's Lodge in Los Angeles, in January 2013, with his daughters' dance troupe when he saw Connolly across the lobby. They started talking after one of the girls asked Connolly for his autograph. As he was walking away Dr Fettke noticed that Connolly had a "strange gait". Dr Fettke's wife, Belinda, said: "He was such a nice guy and spoke to us for quite a while about Tasmania and the girls and his tour. "As he walked away Gary said to me he was sure Billy had Parkinson's." Dr Fettke said Connolly walked the same way as someone who had been drinking. Dr Fettke said: "I thought maybe he didn't realise he had it. It was just one human being to another human being, who happened to be Billy Connolly." Read more: Doctor: … Continue reading →

Sport Concussion Seminar Delves into Latest Research and Treatment

Posted: Published on March 2nd, 2014

March 1, 2014 Many student-athletes step on to the field every Friday or Saturday night in hopes of scoring that touchdown, but often the real struggle occurs when an athlete suffers a concussion and they want to be put back in the game. Jason Freeman, an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia, says that is not an option. "Don't ever put children in charge of that decision. Don't put parents and coaches in charge of that decision. We all have agendas that compete very often and certainly a child wants to get back to normal as fast as possible but to do that sometimes it means slowing down taking a step back and making sure that health comes first," says Freeman. University of Virginia's new Brain Injury and Sports Concussion Clinic serves as the epicenter for recovery. Saturday's program allowed anyone looking to learn more about concussions the opportunity to do so by offering techniques to help get kids back in to the classroom. "The main thing with a concussion is that you need a brief period of rest. You need to not be doing physical activity not taxing your brain too much and … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on March 2nd, 2014

Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 According to http://www.DailyGossip.org, multiple sclerosis is a condition that can be developed by any individual. The disease is formed when the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers the nerves. A series of remedies can be recommended to patients dealing with this condition. Still, the creator of the Multiple Sclerosis Treatment program reveals that all these remedies are ineffective, as they do not target the real cause of this disease. To find out more about Dr. Gary M Levin's Research and Treatment read the full review: http://www.dailygossip.org/natural-multiple-sclerosis-treatment-review-the-remarkable-ms-cure-7563.

Tremor and lack of coordination, as well as slurred speech, can also be symptoms of MS. Such symptoms are extremely difficult to live with, so patients require a treatment to overcome them. Gary M. Levin is a medical researcher who spent years studying this condition, until he discovered the unique healing formula presented in the Multiple Sclerosis Treatment program.

Guest column: Memphis on front lines of fight for MS cure

In 2011, a friend invited me to join his team for the MS150, a two-day cycling event that winds 75 miles through North Mississippi from Southaven to Tunica and back. I knew the ride raised money to fight multiple sclerosis, but could not have told you much more about the disease than that. Already subscribe to The Memphis Commercial Appeal?

A glimmer of hope for people with rare gene disorders

Posted: Published on March 2nd, 2014

Imagine, if you will, your child living with unrelenting pain: beset by paralyzing migraines two out of three days, suffering from unpredictable bouts of ataxia (loss of bodily control) and vertigo. Worse yet, doctors have no idea what is causing the symptoms, and there are few effective treatments to ease the symptoms. A mother doesnt like to see her child suffer like this, says Nathalie Corneau, after stoically describing her daughter Marie-ves nightmarish odyssey. You feel so powerless. The six-year-old has been poked and prodded and studied by all manner of specialists, from pediatricians to neurogeneticists. Their best guess having eliminated every other possibility is that the little girl is suffering from a rare neurological disorder, one whose genetic cause has not yet been discovered. Corneau says that, over the years, she and her spouse have become accustomed to the questioning looks from doctors who just cant figure out what the hell is going on. But for Marie-ve and her mom there is now a small glimmer of hope a new international collaboration called PhenomeCentral that will see scientists and clinicians worldwide share information in a bid to speed the discovery of genes responsible for rare disorders. Marie-ve will have … Continue reading →
