Sleep duration is associated with worse neurocognitive function in Hispanic/Latinos: Results of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) (P1.100)
CONCLUSIONS: Sleep duration had an inverted J-shaped curvilinear association with neurocognitive function, such that those with longer sleep duration had worse neurocognitive scores. Study Supported by: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos was carried out as a collaborative study supported by contracts from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to the University of North Carolina (N01-HC65233), University of Miami (N01-HC65234), Albert Einstein College of Medicine (N01-HC65235), Northwestern University (N01-HC65236), and San Diego State University (N01-HC65237).

Inner-ear decompression sickness: 'hubble-bubble' without brain trouble?
Authors: Tremolizzo L, Malpieri M, Ferrarese C, Appollonio I Abstract Inner-ear decompression sickness (DCS) is an incompletely understood and increasingly recognized condition in compressed-air divers. Previous reports show a high association of inner-ear DCS with persistent foramen ovale (PFO), suggesting that a moderate-to-severe right-to-left shunt might represent a major predisposing factor, and more properly defining it as an event from arterial gas embolism (AGE). However, other conditions characterized by bubbles entering the arterial circulation, such as open-chamber cardiac surgery, do not produce inner-...

The Four Pillars of Longevity and Well-Being
by guest blogger Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, best-selling author and expert on health, fitness, and nutrition When I began my undergraduate years at the University of California-Berkeley, I chose cellular biology as my premed major. Enthused as I was with each course, I felt something was missing. Seeking an answer to my angst, I'd often take long, reflective walks around campus, through eucalyptus groves populated by cackling blue Steller's jays and verdant gardens punctuated by bright hibiscus and bougainvillea. And then it hit me: The answer was literally right under my nose. Gazing at the greenery around me, I realized h...

An Unusual Cause of Hyperglycemia
​BY CHRISTINE SHEELER; SEEMA ELAHI, MDA 46-year-old man presented to the ED with multiple complaints, including fatigue and dizziness for one day. His primary care physician had diagnosed him with diabetes the previous day, and had prescribed him an oral hypoglycemic as well as insulin. Neither, however, was started at the time of presentation. The patient had a medical history significant for HIV, with his most recent CD4 count above 500, and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, which had progressively worsened since its initial onset in his 20s. His physical exam was unremarkable except for decreased hearing bilateral...

Mitochondrial Disorder: Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness.
Authors: Tsang SH, Aycinena ARP, Sharma T Abstract Patients with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) have insulin-dependent diabetes with relatively low BMI; usually the onset of the diabetes is during the third or fourth decade of life and it is associated with progressive neurosensory deafness. The fundus shows circumferentially oriented but discontinuous patches of RPE and choriocapillaris (CC) atrophy around the macula, within the arcades (Figs. 31.1 and 31.2). Sometimes even hyperpigmentation can be seen, also around the optic nerve, or pattern-like dystrophy may occur. Vision is usually good, ab...

Basilar artery occlusion presenting as sudden bilateral deafness: a case report
ConclusionsWhen hearing loss is due to vertebrobasilar occlusive disease, the prognosis is very poor. We suggest that vertebrobasilar stroke be suspected in patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who present with risk factors for stroke such as atrial fibrillation and other neurologic signs.

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Elderly Patients With Vestibular Neuritis
ConclusionWe found a positive correlation of white matter hyperintensities and VN which supports the hypothesis of vascular involvement in the pathophysiology of vestibular neuritis in elderly patients. Further prospective research is necessary to confirm this correlation.

MIDD or MELAS : that's not the question MIDD evolving into MELAS : a severe phenotype of the m.3243A>G mutation due to paternal co-inheritance of type 2 diabetes and a high heteroplasmy level.
MIDD or MELAS : that's not the question MIDD evolving into MELAS : a severe phenotype of the m.3243A>G mutation due to paternal co-inheritance of type 2 diabetes and a high heteroplasmy level. Neth J Med. 2012 Dec;70(10):460-2 Authors: de Wit HM, Westeneng HJ, van Engelen BG, Mudde AH Abstract Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) are different syndromes, but are caused by the same m.3243A>G mutation in mitochondrial DNA. Why some patients develop MIDD while others MELAS is unknown, but may be relate...

Cerebral venous thrombosis presenting as multiple lower cranial nerve palsies
We describe a pregnant lady who presented with sensorineural deafness of the right ear and paralysis of the 9 th , 10 th , and 12 th cranial nerves on the right side. She was diagnosed to have thrombosis of the right transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus with extension to the jugular vein and confluence of sinuses. She improved with anticoagulant treatment.

Neer Award 2012: Cerebral oxygenation in the beach chair position: a prospective study on the effect of general anesthesia compared with regional anesthesia and sedation
Background: Devastating neurologic ischemic episodes, such as stroke and deafness, have occurred in patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the beach chair position. We hypothesized that awake patients would be able to avoid significant cerebral deoxygenation events (CDEs) compared with anesthetized patients when procedures were performed in the beach chair position.Materials and methods: Sixty patients underwent elective shoulder surgery in the beach chair position. Thirty patients underwent an interscalene block and monitored sedation (awake group); 30 patients underwent general anesthesia (asleep group). Cerebral oxygen...

Families hope 'Frankenstein science' lobby will not stop gene cure for mitochondrial disease
Change to IVF rules could make Britain the first country to allow therapy to change DNA in embryosDeniz Safak was five years old when he first displayed symptoms of the disease that would later take his life. "He started being sick and had intense, stroke-like seizures," his mother, Ruth, recalled.Doctors were baffled by the boy's condition and it took months before a diagnosis was made. Ruth and her husband, Erdhal, were told that Deniz was suffering from mitochondrial disease, an incurable condition that is passed from mother to child and can often be fatal.Deniz's condition continued to worsen. By the time he died last ...
