Who discovered the Marfan Syndrome?
Antione B. MarfanMarfan syndrome was first described by a French doctor named Antione B. Marfan, who reported that one of his patients, Gabrielle, had especially long fingers (he called this arachnodactyly, or spider-fingers), skeletal abnormalities (including arms that were disproportionately long), and high, arched pallets. He also noticed spine defects. Antione noted that these traits seemed to be inherited, and it is now certain that Marfan syndrome is a hereditary disorder, and the gene for it is autosomal dominant A dominant gene is one that will overwrite other genes so that only one is required for the trait that that particular gene carries to be expressed. A person who inherits a dominant gene from one parent will automatically have the trait that the gene produces, unlike with recessive genes in which a gene for the trait must be inherited from each parent for the trait to show. Autosomal means that the gene is on a non-sex chromosome. There are 46 chromosomes in every human cell, and they make 23 pairs, each one connected by a centrome. The 23rd pair consists of the sex chromosomes.The gene for Marfan syndrome is located on chromosome fifteen. This gene causes the occurrence of too many microfibrillar fibers in the connective tissue, which results in a lack of flexibility in the body's tissues.Marfan syndrome almost always occurs as an inherited trait (about 75% of the time), but it can sometimes show up spontaneously in a person from a family that has never shown any signs of the disorder. Marfan syndrome, because it is dominant, will not skip generations (a recessive gene can be passed on without showing up for many generations, because two are needed for the trait to show, but if a dominant gene is going to show up, it will do so right away). Marfan syndrome has a 50% chance of being passed on to the children of an affected person. If the gene for Marfan syndrome is passed on, it will invariably show up, but the degree to which it shows its symptoms varies considerably, even within a family.Skeletal abnormalities that have been noticed in Marfan patients are a long face, an unusually tall stature, a short upper body in comparison to the lower body (because they have a short ribcage), and overgrown ribs. The latter results in chest deformities such as Pectus Excavatum (funnel chest) or Pectus Carnatum (pigeon breast). A wide pelvis, elongated skull, and prominent shoulder blades are other symptomsOne of the most distinctive characteristics of Marfan's Syndrome is unusually long arms, fingers, and toes. These skeletal problems can show up in either childhood or adolescence, and sometimes they do not show up at all Extremely mobile joints are another common characteristic.A good many patients have eye problems, like dislocated lenses, severe nearsightedness, iridodensis (a quivering motion of the iris), cataracts, detaching retinas, and glaucoma.The life-threatening risk to Marfan syndrome is that the aorta can grow to be too large, develop weak spots (aneurysms) and then tear (dissect). Without surgery, a person can die.People with Marfan's Syndrome often suffer from various lung problems as well.For more information www.marfan.org

Alleviating Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms With Diet?
Irritable bowel syndrome can be a frustrating and embarrassing condition. People who have never experienced irritable bowel syndrome do not understand the immense pain and suffering caused by it. While many medications can help control irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, many sufferers find substantial relief by simply modifying their diets. Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are varied. They are all uncomfortable. The most common symptoms include bloating, stomach cramping, constipation, and diarrhea. Some sufferers experience mucus in their stools due to inflammation in the lining of the small and large intestines. Many people with irritable bowel syndrome have noticed that their symptoms are worsened by exposure to specific foods. These foods are often referred to as "trigger foods." Common trigger foods are tomatoes and other nightshade vegetables, garlic, fatty foods, and carbonated beverages. For some sufferers, drinking just one can of soda pop can set off a flare up of painful irritable bowel syndrome symptoms that can last for days on end. The simplest way for a person to alleviate irritable bowel symptoms is to eliminate trigger foods from his or her diet. Keeping a food diary can help sufferers identify which foods are trigger foods for them. A food that bothers one person might not bother another. Some sufferers find that they can still indulge in some trigger foods in moderation. The safest approach is to indulge in a small amount of a trigger food after first eating a fair amount of non-trigger food at the same meal. Science is starting to demonstrate that fiber plays a big role in irritable bowel syndrome. Insoluble fiber can cause some people's symptoms to flare up. On the other hand, soluble fiber can alleviate symptoms. Soluble fiber aids in regularity and helps the digestive process. By making sure to include copious amounts of soluble fiber in their diets, many sufferers find significant relief from their irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. When starting a fiber regimen, it is important not to overdo it at the beginning. It takes time to adjust to new fiber levels, so sufferers should start with small amounts. Then they can gradually increase the amounts until they achieve the best results.
