    • 2-Minute Neuroscience: Fatal Insomnia

      health No Comments »

      Fatal insomnia is a very rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressively worsening insomnia and eventual death. In this video, I explain the symptoms of fatal insomnia as well as what happens in the brain during the disease.

      TRANSCRIPT:

      Fatal insomnia is a very rare terminal condition characterized by difficulty sleeping that becomes progressively worse over time. Although the disease is typically genetic in origin, some sporadic cases without a clear genetic basis have also been documented. The condition usually begins in middle age or later, and early symptoms include trouble sleeping as well as autonomic nervous system disturbances, such as increased body temperature and increased heart rate.

      The disease gets worse over time as the amount of sleep patients get continues to decline. Patients will sometimes lapse into a state of unresponsiveness during which they make involuntary movements that seem to be related to acting out dreams, and they can develop a variety of additional symptoms including difficulties with balance and coordination, trouble speaking and swallowing, hallucinations, and personality changes. Eventually, most patients lose the ability to enter deep sleep at all, and fall into a stupor that it is difficult to rouse them from. This stupor sometimes leads to coma, and the disease is always fatal, with death occurring in just over 18 months on average.

      Fatal insomnia is a prion disease, meaning it is associated with the conversion of a protein called prion protein into a form that cannot be broken down. The new pathological form of prion protein accumulates in the brain, and its accumulation is associated with the death of neurons and other pathological changes such as the brain taking on a spongy texture. The neuronal death eventually becomes insurmountable and is linked to the death of the patient. In fatal insomnia, the most severe neuronal loss often occurs in the thalamus and inferior olivary nuclei, but pathological changes are sometimes seen through other areas of the brain such as the cerebral cortex. Damage to the sleep-promoting regions of the thalamus is thought to be especially important to causing the insomnia that occurs in the disease.

      Fatal Familial Insomnia Explained

      Can you imagine never being able to sleep again? That is exactly what happens to patients with Fatal Familial Insomnia. This rare genetic disorder leads to progressive neurodegeneration in the brain, ultimately stopping patients from sleeping ever again. Even though they may look like they are asleep, their brain is really awake! From when symptoms begin, patients have approximately one year to live, before their body breaks down to the point of no return.

      IT Band Stretches | Belt/Strap IT Band Stretch

      For more information on IT band syndrome, please visit https://cle.clinic/3iA7adS

      Iliotibial band, or IT band, syndrome is a common overuse injury that sidelines even the hardiest endurance athletes. The pain it brings can turn simple steps into an achy shuffle.

      Targeted stretching and exercises can help ease or even prevent IT band syndrome by improving your flexibility and strengthening key muscles. The belt/strap IT band stretch is a stretch that can help keep IT band issues at bay.

      Lie on your back. Loop a belt or strap around your right foot. Lift your right leg up straight before bringing it across your body (to the left) while keeping your hips flat. You should feel a gentle stretch along your right outer thigh. Hold for 30 seconds.

      Do the same with the opposite foot. Repeat five times.

      Add these additional IT band stretches to your routine.

      This Best Resistance Band Exercises for Seniors to Tone Up Fast is a perfect exercise for seniors and can help lower blood sugar. This 14 minute resistance band workout features 8 exercises in 40 second rounds with 20 seconds of rest between each round with no repeated exercises. This exercise to lower blood sugar can be done seated or standing.

      00:00 Introduction

      These exercises for seniors over 60 include chair exercises that build muscle and increase strength.

      Strength training is important to build muscle and increase bone density for seniors to prevent falls, the number cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Strength training also provides many benefits for individuals with prediabetes, including improved blood sugar control, enhanced insulin response, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, weight management, and overall health improvements.

      The American Diabetes Association also recommends strength training for people with type 2 diabetes to help with blood sugar control. Additionally, studies show that strength training is as effective as aerobic exercise at boosting how well the body uses insulin.

      Strength workouts build muscle and help the body become more efficient at transporting glucose from the bloodstream to muscles. After exercising, muscles will continue to use glucose and blood sugar may be lower for several hours.

      Aim for two strength sessions a week covering all muscle groups with at least two days of rest in between. For optimal health, this should accompany 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week, such as walking.
