Disability Claimant Entitled To STD Benefits, Wisconsin Federal Judge Determines

MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin federal judge on Oct. 29 awarded a disability claimant short-term disability (STD) benefits after determining that a disability insurer failed to consider all of the job duties required of the claimant, rather than the modified job duties performed by the claimant, when it denied her claim for benefits (Catherine A. Mathews v. The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., No. 18-46, W.D. Wisc., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 186986).

The 22 q11.2 deletion syndrome, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is the subject of the loss of a submicroscopic segment of DNA in the 22 q11.2 region. It presents a great variability of clinical characteristics in affected individuals. Among the clinical manifestations are fissure of the palate, nasal speech, cardiovascular problems, and dysmorphic facial features. This case report describes a 15-year-old girl, clinically diagnosed as having DiGeorge syndrome, who attended a dental service for patients with special needs presenting with malocclusion, difficulty in chewing, and suspected heart disease.

CONCLUSION: In patients with compressive cervical myelopathy, leptomeningeal contrast enhancement, a T2-weighted hypersignal exceeding the compression level on MRI, and the presence of extraneurological symptoms should point to inflammatory disease. These rare manifestations may be the first symptoms of sarcoidosis and should be recognized to avoid harmful surgical procedures and to provide appropriate medical treatment.

DiscussionResults of the selected studies are only partially comparable or generalizable because of differences in study design. They have a risk for potential biases, although they provide (if analyzed) readily available prognostic factors, easy to apply in clinical practice. Prospective, population-based studies with EEG-defined NS are warranted in order to produce evidence-based guidance for management of preterm newborns with seizures.
