Nangami g,
The diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) – also Rendu-Osler-Weber disease, Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome - is based on family history and the presence of cutaneous or mucocutaneous telangiectases or large visceral AVMs. HHT is caused by a mutation in either ENG, the gene encoding endoglin or ACVRL1, the gene encoding the activin receptor. Molecular genetic testing of these genes detects mutations in 60-80% of individuals with HHT and is available on a clinical basis. You may find the link which I add of some assistance in preparing your project. I wish you well.

How long to recover from a hemorrhagic contusion?

---

I had suffered a hemorrhagic contusion to my left frontal and parietal lobes in a skiing accident.

How long does it take to recover completely from such an injury?

I'm 51 years old.

Thanks
I did see a neurosurgeon and he said I was lucky as it did not involve any "vital" area of the brain. I'm almost 99% recovered already 4 weeks after the accident so I guess I was very lucky. If I had no helmet on I would be dead. Back of my helmet was crushed!
have you seen a neurosurgeon? Every case is so different, without an examination and appropriate MRI, MRA and neuropsych eval it is impossible to gauge yor progress.  (+ info)

What is so bad about having down syndrome?

---

I think people are a lot colder than they want you to believe. Too many pregnancies prediagnosed with down syndrome are terminated! Doctors tell people that their kid will be like some animal and people believe them. I've met my share of people with down syndrome, and they all seem pretty human to me. On top of that, they were all decent folks, which is a lot more than I can say for the general population. And how does knowing that unborn children are purged because of down syndrome affect those who were born and have down syndrome?
WOW!! I'm so glad that there are other people who's lives have been touched as mine has. See when I was 28 I gave birth to twin girls and one of them was born with Mosaic down syndrome. Of course, I didn't know much about it til now....and yes I was shocked. They are 14 months old now, and such a blessing as well as my two boys. My daughter is about 4 months behind in her milestones, but she is always so happy! Out of all my kids she is the easiest to handle.

It's always nice to have other people, who see that they are more alike, then different from the rest of us.  (+ info)
