Abetalipoproteinemia What is it? Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as bassenkornzweig syndrome) isan inherited disorder that affects how fats are made and used in the body. http://rarediseases.about.com/library/weekly/aa072601a.htm
Extractions: Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome) is an inherited disorder that affects how fats are made and used in the body. The body needs fats for healthy nerves, muscles, and digestion. Like oil and water, fats can't travel in the blood around the body by themselves-they just don't mix in. Fats attach to special proteins called lipoproteins to travel to wherever they're needed. Because of a genetic disorder, people with abetalipoproteinemia don't produce a critical "building block" (a special protein) for making lipoproteins. Without enough lipoproteins, fats can't be digested properly or travel around the body to where they're needed, which leads to serious health problems.
Chromosomal Disorders produces this disorder, in which fats are absorbed but can't be brokendown by the body. Also known as bassenkornzweig syndrome. http://rarediseases.about.com/cs/chromosomeproblem/

Disorders Of Movement Topics [General] Tremor Dyskinesias Drug-Induced Movement Disorders ... Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension And Shy-Drager Syndrome Cerebellar And Spinocerebellar Disorders Disorders of the cerebellum and its inflow or outflow pathways produce deficits in the rate, range, and force of movement. Anatomically, the cerebellum has three subdivisions. The archicerebellum (vestibulocerebellum) comprises the flocculonodular lobe, helps maintain equilibrium and coordinate eye-head-neck movements, and is closely interconnected with the vestibular nuclei. The midline vermis (paleocerebellum) helps coordinate movement of the trunk and legs. Vermis lesions result in abnormalities of stance and gait. The lateral hemispheres, which make up the neocerebellum, control ballistic and finely coordinated limb movements, predominantly of the arms. Signs of cerebellar disease are listed in Table 179-3.

Vitamin C Deficiency Vitamin E Deficiency Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a generic term for compounds that have a 6-chromanol ring, an isoprenoid side chain, and the biologic activity of -tocopherol. The vitamin E group contains -, and -tocopherols, which vary in the extent to which the chromanol ring is methylated. d- -Tocopherol is the only naturally occurring stereoisomer and the most potent in biologic assays (1.49 IU/mg); the totally synthetic dl- -tocopherol is completely racemic and has less biologic activity (1.1 IU/mg) than d- -tocopherol. The international standard is dl- -tocopherol acetate (1.0 IU/mg). In general, tocopherols act as antioxidants to prevent lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes. The antioxidant activity of -tocopherol is similar to that of glutathione peroxidase, which contains selenium (see

Extractions: WERNICKE-KORSAKOFF SYNDROME MIDLINE CEREBELLAR DEGENERATION VITAMIN E DEFICIENCY VITAMINE B12 DEFICIENCY WERNICKE-KORSAKOFF SYNDROME The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is most common in malnourished alcoholics, but is also seen in demented people who neglect their nutrition, patients with gastric cancer, hyperemesis gravidarum, and other malnutrition settings. The classic clinical presentation is a triad of eye abnormalities (nystagmus, oculomotor paralysis, paralysis of conjugate gaze), ataxia of stance and gait, and mental symptoms , such as withdrawal, confusion, anterograde and retrograde amnesia with a tendency to fill gaps of memory with fabrications. Peripheral neuropathy (a form of Beri-Beri disease) is seen in 80 percent of patients. The syndrome may be partial and a high index of suspicion is essential for diagnosis, especially in debilitated patients with unexplained mental confusion. Administration of thiamine causes a rapid reversal of ophthalmoplegia within hours. Recovery from nystagmus and confusion is slower. Amnesia does not respond to treatment fully. The acute lesions of WKS consist of incomplete loss of neurons, loosening or vacuolization of the neuropil, and punctate hemorrhages.

Results from ocular examinations of more than 10,000 patients are in a computerized data bank that provides an unusual resource for research on these diseases. More than 5,000 blood samples are on file for molecular genetics research. The Laboratory is presently conducting research that includes: Performing new randomized controlled study to see if a medication in addition to vitamin A can further slow the course of the common forms of retinitis pigmentosa.
Basic Text Formatting In HTML It was first characterised in the 1950's by Bassen and Kornzweig (qv)and is sometimes referred to as the bassenkornzweig syndrome. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/attic/webbook/ch2html/html-ch1c.html
Extractions: Comments Chapter contents Book contents HTML is the product of a collision between two schools of thought about how to create a generic text formatting language. First let's look at the uncontroversial stuff. The basic elements of an HTML document are chunks of text, aggregated into paragraphs. Because HTML is rendered to fit different-sized windows on different systems, all HTML browsers do their own word-wrapping to fit the width of the line to the width of the window. A space character or carriage return in an HTML document is basically interpreted by a browser as an opportunity to insert a space or a line break at its own discretion. If you just type text in and separate your paragraphs with blank lines, the browsers will happily ignore the blanks and concatenate your text into one monster paragraph. HTML gives us a tag, , to indicate a new paragraph. A paragraph consists of text enclosed in the tag . However, in practice, the is not necessary; the paragraph is implicitly closed by the start of the next paragraph or heading element. For example:
