Search Site: Search Web: HealthPortal Diseases and Conditions Psychological Memory Problems Oh No! What Happened to the Afterglow? Oh No! What Happened to the Afterglow? Some people lapse into amnesia after sex By Carole Tanzer Miller HealthScoutNews Reporter SUNDAY, June 24 (HealthScoutNews) Don't be too quick to blame a lousy lover or too much tequila if your last tango between the sheets was just plain forgettable. You might simply be suffering from a rare and Bill Clinton jokes aside very real case of sexual amnesia. Doctors say it's a version of TGA, short for transient global amnesia. It strikes during or right after sexual intercourse, usually wiping out memory for six hours or more. For better or for worse, that whole time period is lost forever. "It's an extremely scary event," says Dr. Lawrence B. Gardner, a hematologist at the Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore who wrote about the baffling phenomenon in The Lancet , the British medical journal. Gardner and his colleague, Dr. Chi V. Dang, saw two patients, both men in their 70s, who were stricken after sexual intercourse with their wives. Both victims were otherwise healthy. Within 30 minutes of intercourse, however, both became so disoriented and confused that they couldn't even identify the president of the United States. One, a 75-year-old retired physician, babbled incoherently and wasn't back to normal for 15 hours. Even then, he couldn't recall anything that had happened in the six hours after having sex.

Main Research Areas Cerebral Evoked Potentials At the aim of the clinical application of Evoked Potentials (EPs) in Neuropsychiatry, the recording-analyzing system, which was able to record two channels of SEPs, VEPs and AEPs, together with EEGs has been developed. EPs and EEGs were recorded from patients with neuropsychiatric disease and from normal subjects, and the waveforms of EPs were analyzed with special reference to EEGs. Neuropsychology The relationship between brain and behavior in patients with focal brain damage or endogenous psychosis such as schizophrenia as well as in normal subjects, has been investigated. Psychosomatic Medicine The treatment for psychosomatic diseases with biofeedback, et al. and the brain function in chronic physical diseases with electroencephalogram and evoked potential, have been investigated. Research Projects EPs in patients with endogenous psychosis (application of EPs as a diagnostic tool). Effects of psychotropics on EPs.

Contrast study on cognitive function with MRI and PET imaging in TGA JIA Jian-jun( ), WANG Lu-ning( ), YIN Ling( ) and TANG Hong-chuan( (Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA, Beijing 100853,China) Key words: transient global amnesia; cognitive function; MRI; PET Objective: To study the cognitive function and cerebral metabolic changes in the patients with transient global amnesia (TGA). Methods: Three patients with TGA were given mini-mental state examination (MMSE), revised Wechsler memory scale (WMS-R) examination and MRI scan when they had been diagnosed as TGA. Using F labelled deoxyglucose as tracer, the patients were given positron emission tomography (PET) examination at the different periods after recovery. Results: No obvious abnormality was found in MMSE and MRI scan of the three patients. However, WMS-R examination and cerebral PET imaging displayed cognitive dysfunction in various degrees and low metabolism in local areas related with memory in 2 of 3 patients. Conclusions : In TGA patients, the cognitive function and cerebral metabolic levels are closely correlated with duration of symptoms. It is necessary to prevent the TGA attack in early time.

Treatment Memory loss Definition: Memory loss is defined as a loss of memory resulting from brain damage (disease or trauma) or severe emotional trauma. Alternative Names: Forgetfulness; Amnesia; Impaired memory; Loss of memory Considerations: Whether amnesia comes on suddenly or slowly, and is permanent or temporary, depends on the cause. Normal aging may result in trouble learning new material or requiring longer time to recall learned material (it does not lead to memory loss unless diseases are involved). Common Causes: Aging Alzheimer's disease Neurodegenerative illness Head trauma or injury Hysteria often accompanied by confusion Seizures General anesthetics such as halothane, isoflurane, and fentanyl Alcoholism Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) Transient global amnesia Drugs such as barbiturates or benzodiazepines Electroconvulsive therapy (especially if prolonged) Temporal lobe brain surgery Central nervous system Review Date: 7/30/2001 Reviewed By: Galit Kleiner-Fisman MD, FRCP(C), University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Significance of the Sleep and Awake EEG Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the common neurology diagnostic tests ordered frequently, but quite a significant portion of EEGs are done only in the awake state. This essay explains the better value of sleep and awake EEG study. Other than epileptic syndrome, sleep and awake EEG studies are useful in other neurological syndromes. It is known that EEG abnormality is reported in a patient who has migraine headache. The rate of abnormality is varied and clinical significance is still under debate. Most of the awake EEG studies for migraine headaches are normal, but sometimes you may find 6 Hz positive spikes or 6 Hz phantom spikes during the sleep state, in which case addition of low dose of anticonvulsant helps the headache control. EEG abnormality seems more correlating to the migraine headache of the younger generation. If the EEG is done in the middle of the severe migraine attack, it occasionally demonstrates slow rhythmic activity pattern or even PLEDs. These findings are interpreted as manifestation of the transient subcortical gray matter dysfunction relating to the blood flow change during the migraine attack rather than actual structural abnormalities. Transient global amnesia sometimes needs to be differentiated from complex partial seizure attack. Those patients who carry the diagnosis of transient global amnesia attack, having more frequent recurrence with shorter duration, less than 30 minutes, require re-evaluation to rule out partial complex seizure disorder. In such situations, single awake state EEG may not find any abnormalities. These cases definitely require sleep and awake EEG study.

A popular subject on the big screen and television (especially the daytime variety) is a form of memory loss known as amnesia . Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines amnesia as "a disturbance in the memory of information stored in long-term memory , in contrast to short-term memory , manifested by total or partial inability to recall past experiences." Amnesia is a condition in which someone can't recall stored memories, like their mom's maiden name or what happened last Christmas , but they may recall the knock-knock joke their little brother told them a few seconds ago. This is actually an example of retrograde amnesia Types of Amnesia Anterograde amnesia - Inability to remember ongoing events after the incidence of trauma or the onset of the disease that caused the amnesia Emotional/hysterical amnesia - Memory loss caused by psychological trauma; usually a temporary condition

Smokes three packs per day. Two days prior to admission to Lahey Clinic, the patient woke up and apparently seemed normal. She prepared the breakfast and suddenly told her daughters she was looking for the tools to repair computers. However, "she even doesn't know how to turn a computer on". Also, she started talking about events that didn’t happen and couldn’t remember recent events. She could not name her daughters when she saw them, only name them after they spoke. When asked direct questions she would say: "Of course, I know that " and would try to change the subject, laugh or would make up some story. Some elements of the stories would be based in something she heard earlier or saw on TV. Also she would stay silent unless questioned by the family. "a big personality change- usually she talks a lot".

MOGADON® Roche Nitrazepam Hypnotic - Anticonvulsant Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Nitrazepam is a benzodiazepine with hypnotic and anticonvulsant properties. In sleep laboratory studies, nitrazepam decreased sleep latency, increased total sleep time and decreased awake time. There is delay in the onset, and decrease in the duration of REM sleep. Nitrazepam is reported to significantly decrease stage 1, 3 and 4 sleep and to increase stage 2. Following discontinuation of the drug, REM sleep rebound has been reported in some studies. Nitrazepam has been shown to raise the seizure threshold. Nitrazepam has an intermediate half-life. Rebound Insomnia: A transient syndrome whereby the symptoms that led to treatment with a benzodiazepine recur in an enhanced form may occur on withdrawal of hypnotic treatment. Pharmacokinetics: Nitrazepam is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability after an oral dose averages about 80%. Peak blood concentrations after oral administration are observed in approximately 3 hours. Following the administration of single oral doses of 5 or 10 mg nitrazepam to healthy volunteers, mean peak plasma concentrations ranged between 23 to 66 ng/mL and 55 to 107 ng/mL, respectively. In elderly patients suffering from various debilitating diseases, a mean peak plasma concentration of 22 ng/mL was observed after a single dose of 5 mg nitrazepam. Steady-state plasma concentrations following administration of 5 mg nitrazepam once daily were reached after approximately 4 days. Steady-state plasma concentrations of nitrazepam were approximately 40 ng/mL.

Health Matters All in the Mind The Buzz Earthbeat ... Quantum Amnesia During Sex Broadcast Monday 25 August 1997 with Summary: The man who forgot his sex. It's not a headline from the gutter press, it's a story from the Journal Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Transcript: This story is for anyone who's ever had sex and later wished they could forget the whole experience. Rae Fry reports. Rae Fry: The man who forgot his sex. It's not a headline from the gutter press, it's a story from the Journal Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. London neurologist Dr Russell Lane recently reported the case of a man who suffered amnesia while making love. His wife made him go to see Dr Lane because she was concerned by his behaviour. The patient was less concerned. He couldn't remember what had happened. Dr Lane told me he's never seen a case quite like this before. Dr Lane: Yes, this is a very curious case. This gentleman who was in his early 60's had suffered five quite stereotyped attacks, occurring exclusively with sexual intercourse. And these attacks comprised a change in behaviour in that the patient seemed a little confused, and in particular clearly amnesic for ongoing events. For example he would repeatedly ask his wife questions such as - what am I doing here, what are we doing, where are we, and so forth. And he would ask these questions over and over again even when given the answers. At the end of an event he returned entirely to normal, with the exception that he will never recall that particular event during the attack. In other words, during that episode new memory traces are not laid down and can never be recalled subsequently. It's just that if you like, the tape recorder is switched off temporarily.
