What 1989 And The Golden Girls Tell Us About Medicine Today
Today, 1989 may be most associated with Taylor Swift: It is the album that won her a second Grammy for Album of the Year. Not only that, it happens to be the year Swift was born--such a long, long time ago!
People under 35 have no personal memory of 1980s pop culture, which is ironic since Swift's album in part pays homage to it. In the real 1989 (no offense to Swift and the 10 co-producers who made the album), all sorts of revolutions took place: Mr. Gorbachev tore down that pesky wall, for example. America's greatest antagonist, the Soviet Union, collapsed in 1989. Brazil conducted its first democratic presidential ...

Risk factors for hypersomnia/narcolepsy and response to therapy in survivors of childhood brain tumors (P3.148)
Conclusions:Hypersomnia/narcolepsy prevalence of 1670/100,000 among childhood brain tumor survivors is much higher than 20–50/100,000 reported in general population. Midline tumor location and >30 gray radiation to the brain strongly correlated with hypersomnia/narcolepsy. Stimulant therapy is beneficial in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Khan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Merchant has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sadighi has nothing to disclose.

Cardiovascular Parameters in a Swine Model of Normobaric Hypoxia Treated With 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furfural (5-HMF)
Conclusion: 5-HMF treatment decreased P50, improved SaO2, and mitigated increases in PAP in this swine model of NH.
Introduction
The reduction of barometric pressure at altitude is associated with reduced partial pressure of ambient Oxygen (PO2). With lower ambient PO2, it can be anticipated that alveolar (PAO2), arterial O2 (PaO2) and blood O2 content (CaO2) will decrease accordingly, resulting in a widely recognized decrease in maximal O2 consumption (VO2) (Dill and Adams, 1972; Lucas et al., 2011). In humans, with acute exposure to altitude, maximal VO2 decrements are measurable at elevations even as low as 580 ...

Pituitary Macrotumor Causing Narcolepsy ‐Cataplexy in a Dachshund
In this report, a pituitary mass is described as a unique cause of narcolepsy‐cataplexy in a dog. A 6‐year‐old male neutered Dachshund had presented for acute onset of feeding‐induced cataplexy and was found to have a pituitary macrotumor on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cerebral spinal fluid hypocretin‐1 levels were normal, indicating that tumor effect on the ventral lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus was not the cause of the dog's narcolepsy‐cataplexy. The dog was also negative for the hypocretin receptor 2 gene mutation associated with narcolepsy in Dachshunds, ruling out familial narcolepsy. The Dachsh...

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 2612: Focus on the Complex Interconnection between Cancer, Narcolepsy and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Possible Case of Orexin-Dependent Inverse Comorbidity
ele Ferri
Conditions such as Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s diseases (PD) are less prevalent in cancer survivors and, overall, cancer is less prevalent in subjects with these neurodegenerative disorders. This seems to suggest that a propensity towards one type of disease may decrease the risk of the other. In addition to epidemiologic data, there is also evidence of a complex biological interconnection, with genes, proteins, and pathways often showing opposite dysregulation in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this narrative review, we focus on the possible role played by orexin signaling, which is altere...

Protective effects of nicorandil against cerebral injury in a swine cardiac arrest model.
Authors: Zhu F, Zhong X, Zhou Y, Hou Z, Hu H, Liang L, Chen J, Chen Q, Ji X, Shang D
Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of nicorandil on cerebral injury following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a swine model of cardiac arrest. CPR was performed on swine following 4 min induced ventricular fibrillation. Surviving animals were randomly divided into 3 groups: A nicorandil group (n=8), a control group (n=8) and a sham group (n=4). The sham group underwent the same surgical procedure to imitate cardiac arrest, but ventricular fibrillation was not induced. When the earliest observable return of s...

Keep The Flu Away In A Time Of “ Twindemics ”
Flu season is here, and the CDC has shifted into overdrive…pushing you to get your flu vaccine as soon as possible.
Once again, they’re insisting it’s more important than ever because of Covid.
Flu shots have an unquestioned reputation. The message from the medical establishment is that you need to ignore any vaccines’ potential adverse effects.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist…
In a moment, I’ll show you ways to bolster your native immunity so you can enjoy optimal health year-round. But first, for my new readers, let me tell you why I’ll never get a flu shot.
Unlike some of my colleagues i...

Narcolepsy and Hypothalamic Region Tumors: Presentation and Evolution
Since most cases of brain tumor-associated narcolepsy have been published in the form of a case report or small series, the clinical presentation and evolution has not been well described. We sought to better define the epidemiology, etiology, and outcome of brain tumor-related narcolepsy.
