Rise in autism rate is up for debate

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

When New Jersey reported one of the nations highest rates of autism last year doubling in six years to one in 49 children researchers described it as beyond an emergency. But a federal study released this week indicated that the high rate appears to be the norm nationally. Autism spectrum disorder now affects one in every 50 children, well above the one in 88 previously reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The good news is that the increase in autism isnt special to New Jersey, said Walter Zahorodny, an autism researcher at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The bad news is that its a significant increase and its registering everywhere. The findings released this week by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration and the CDC are spurring debate: While experts attribute the increase to better reporting, it also suggests that the disorder is being diagnosed more frequently in children with milder symptoms. According to the study, 1 million children nationally are diagnosed with autism, a complex disorder that affects brain development and a persons ability to communicate, learn and form relationships. The feeling all along wasnt that New Jersey has more cases … Continue reading →

Stroke services ‘vital’ to Ipswich

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

22 March 2013 Last updated at 17:04 ET The retention of emergency stroke services at Ipswich Hospital is "vital", according to a senior health service source. Provision of hyper acute stroke units (HASUs) is being reviewed by the NHS. Options under consideration include Ipswich, West Suffolk and Colchester hospitals losing their emergency stroke care, while keeping rehabilitation services. NHS Midlands & East said no decisions have yet been made. The NHS is considering three options as part of an England-wide Stroke Review - all of which would see an emergency HASU at Addenbrooke's in Cambridge. One would be having an HASU at Colchester Hospital, but only providing rehabilitation treatment at Ipswich and West Suffolk. The second would be having an Ipswich HASU, but not Colchester or West Suffolk. The third would be providing HASU services at Ipswich and Colchester, but not West Suffolk. The senior health service source in Suffolk said: "It's vital Ipswich keeps its HASU open, otherwise patients in west and coastal Suffolk would face longer journey times, which may delay 'clot-busting' treatments which are needed in 10% of cases.

Radio star battles Parkinson ‘s

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

6PR talkback host Howard Sattler has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Source: News Limited RADIO veteran Howard Sattler isn't the type of person to do anything quietly, let alone die quietly. So the 6PR talkback host has vowed to fight tooth and nail to stay on air despite being recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In an effort to spread awareness and support research for Parkinsons, Sattler has opened up about how he is battling the condition and what keeps him fighting. Howard Sattler wakes suddenly. It is dark and he is terrified - a feeling he has become familiar with over the past few months. The fog of dreams and nightmares clears and he remembers where he is. He's in a situation he does not want to be in, doing things he does not want to do. It's hard, it's frightening and it's a battle he can only fight on his own. There is one thing keeping him going - fear. Fear of the alternative. Fear of what will happen to him if he gives up. "Get up," Sattler urges himself. "If I don't get through this I'm going to get shot dead in the middle of a jungle." … Continue reading →

Sattler ‘brave’ in Parkinson ‘s battle

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

The head of Parkinson's Australia says Radio 6PR talkback host Howard Sattler was "brave" to publicly open up about his battle with the disease. The famously polarising Sattler told Perth's Sunday Times that he had been undergoing treatment for Parkinson's since last year, after suffering what was diagnosed as a stroke last May. Parkinson's Australia Daryl Smeaton said it was admirable for a media figure such as Sattler to discuss his disease openly. "I think Howard is very brave to come out about being diagnosed," Smeaton said. Advertisement "It's important for people to understand that even though it's incurable, you can still have a good quality of life." Sattler said he visited a number of doctors over the past two years, prompted when his speech began to slur and radio listeners accused him of being drunk on air - leading 6PR management to intervene. "I was talking Swahili," Howard said. "It got to the stage where no one could understand me." Sattler said a specialist finally told him that he had the disease in June.

KSSM offers a ray of hope for children having cerebral palsy

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

The Kerala Social Security Mission (KSSM) will implement a project Chalanam to help children having cerebral palsy by providing them with a costly drug free of cost for treating chronic spasticity and dystonia. The project will be implemented under the ongoing Thalolam scheme of the department to treat children from financially backward families. To begin with, 100 eligible children will be identified from various parts of the State and their treatment will be conducted at the nearby medical colleges. A total of Rs.50 lakh will be spent for the initiative, which will provide relief for several children who suffer from acute movement disorders such as unusual muscle tightness, stiffness, or pull of muscles. Mission Executive Director T.P. Ashraf says the government plans to invest at least Rs.50,000 for every child identified to provide them quality treatment. The costly drug botulinum toxin, used as a muscle relaxant in cerebral palsy cases, will be given to the screened children after a detailed medical examination. The project will initially cover Thiruvananthapuram district. On completion of the trial, children from other districts too will be screened for the project. As the drugs for treating spasticity are costly, several low-income families have been finding it … Continue reading →

Players risk brain injury in boxing, soccer headers, researchers say

Posted: Published on March 24th, 2013

LONDON - When Ireland's Katie Taylor was taking hits and striking blows for boxing's Olympic debut in an east London ring last year, John Hardy did not want to look. To this leading neuroscientist and molecular biologist, a boxing bout is little more than a session of mutual brain injury. He was horrified to see women boxing at Olympic level for the first time at the London 2012 Games. "We shouldn't get our fun out of watching people inflict brain damage on each other," said Hardy, who is chair of Molecular Biology of Neurological Disease at University College London's Institute of Neurology. "To me as a neuroscientist it's almost surreal." Hardy, whose research work focuses on Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, said having women in an Olympic boxing ring was "a terrible thing" - not because he thinks women should not compete alongside men in sport, but because women boxing simply meant more people inflicting more damage on more brains. That, in turn, was highly likely to mean more people suffering the devastating, incurable symptoms of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.
