AYURVEDA CAN HELP PROGERIA - PART 1

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), also called progeria and premature aging syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes premature aging shortly after birth. Although patients with HGPS have normal intelligence and motor control skills, they have distinct physical features that make them appear older than they really are. This is because a random genetic mutation causes cells in their bodies to die earlier than normal.

Prevalence of Progeria:

It is estimated that HGPS occurs in about one out of eight million births. 

However, some researchers believe the incidence might be closer to one out of four million births because many cases may be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as other conditions, such as Werner's syndrome (a very rare, autosomal recessive disorder also characterized by premature aging). Only about 100 cases worldwide have been reported in the medical literature.

Characteristics of Progeria:

Children with Progeria are born looking healthy. When they are about 10 to 24 months old, features of accelerated aging start to appear.

Signs and symptoms of Progeria may include:

• Growth failure during the first year of life
• Open soft spot (fontanelle)
• Prominent veins in the scalp
• Short stature
• Loss of body fat
• Loss of hair
• Skin starts to look aged
• Stiffness in the joints
• Hip dislocation
• Narrow, shrunken or wrinkled face
• Beaked nose
• Loss of eyebrows and eyelashes
• Disproportionately large head
• Small jaw
• Dry, scaly, thin skin
• High-pitched voice
• Delayed shedding of baby teeth
• Abnormal tooth formation

Motor and mental development: Motor development and mental development are unaffected by HGPS and have same intellect throughout the life as any other normal human being.

Although they may come from varying ethnic backgrounds, children with Progeria have a surprisingly similar appearance.

Similarity in Progeria and ageing:

Children who suffer from Progeria are genetically susceptible to premature ageing. Children with Progeria commonly experience cardiovascular events, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), stroke, angina, enlarged heart and heart failure - conditions linked to aging which is the most common cause of death in such individuals.

Causes of Progeria:

90% of children with Progeria have a mutation on the gene that encodes Lamin A, a protein that holds the nucleus of the cell together. It is believed that the defective Lamin A protein makes the nucleus unstable. This instability seems to lead to the process of premature aging among Progeria patients. 

Progeria appears to occur without cause - it is not seen in siblings of affected children. In extremely rare cases more than one child in the same family may have the condition.

Diagnosis of Progeria:

Early diagnosis of Progeria is very important because prompt treatment and regular medical checkups shall help extend the child's lifespan.

The health care provider will perform a physical exam and order laboratory tests. This may show:

• Insulin resistance
• Skin changes similar to that seen in scleroderma (the connective tissue becomes tough and hardened)
• Cardiac stress testing may reveal signs of early atherosclerosis of blood vessels.
• Genetic testing can detect changes in the gene that causes progeria.

Prognosis of progeria:

People with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) may live to be 7-30 years old. On average, most people die at age 13. 

About 90 percent of children with HGPS die from complications related to atherosclerosis.

Complications in Progeria:

• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries): This leads to cardiovascular abnormalities, including congestive heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.
• Malnutrition: Malnutrition is another common complication of HGPS because some infants have difficulty in feeding.
• Osteoporosis: In this condition, bones become weak, brittle and porous. As a result, children with Progeria may have an increased risk of experiencing bone fractures than healthy children.
• Hip dislocation: This is usually seen after a few years, making them unable to move.

Treatment:

There is currently no cure for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.

Treatment hope for Progeria:

New drugs, called farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs), which were originally developed to treat cancer, may help treat HGPS in the future. Early studies have produced promising results. In laboratory and animal studies, these drugs have effectively corrected cell defects that cause HGPS. Specifically, they have been shown to improve nuclear shape by preventing the abnormal protein from reaching the scaffolding of the cell nucleus. However, additional human studies are needed to determine if FTIs are safe and effective for people with HGPS.

Management course for Progeria:
Although there is no specific cure yet, daily care plays a vital role for their quality of life. Proper nutritional, physical, and occupational therapies, along with preventative cardiac and other care are essential.

It is important that patients regularly visit their doctors, especially their cardiologists. These doctors can help patients manage serious cardiovascular complications, such as atherosclerosis.

• Low-dose aspirin: A daily dose of aspirin may be recommended to help prevent heart attacks and stroke. Children should only take aspirin under the strict supervision of a healthcare professional because serious side effects may occur. 
• Physical therapy: Physical therapy may be beneficial for children with HGPS because they typically have low muscle tone and experience joint stiffness and hip problems. 
• High-calorie dietary supplements: High-calorie dietary supplements may be recommended to help prevent weight loss and ensure adequate nutrition 
• Feeding tube: Some infants with HGPS may have difficulty feeding due to physical abnormalities. In such cases, a feeding tube may be needed to ensure that the child receives proper nutrition. 
• Removal of baby teeth: A child's permanent teeth might start coming in before the baby teeth have fallen out. If this happens, a dentist usually removes the baby teeth in order to prevent complications, such as overcrowding. 
• Ayurveda treatments: Upcoming in next post- Ayurveda can help Progeria - Part 2.

AYURVEDA CAN HELP AGENESIS OF CORPUS CALLOSUM (ACC)

What is agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC)?

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a congenital (lifelong) brain abnormality that occurs when the corpus callosum does not develop as it should during the early prenatal period. It can occur as an isolated condition or in association with other brain abnormalities or physical or medical conditions.

What is the corpus callosum?

The corpus callosum is the largest midline structure of the brain. It

• Begins to develop around the 10th to 11th week of pregnancy
• Consists of over 200 million nerve fibers that connect the two hemispheres of the brain
• Transfers and integrates motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the cerebral hemispheres
• Continues to mature throughout pregnancy and into childhood and adolescence

Epidemiology:

It is one of the most frequent malformations in the brain with a reported incidence ranging between 0.5 and 70 in 10,000 births.

Pathogenesis:

Formation of the corpus callosum begins as early as 6 weeks' gestation, with the first fibres crossing the midline at 11 to 12 weeks' gestation. The basic shape is completed by 18 to 20 weeks' gestation.

As yet unknown factors cause disruption to development of the fetal brain between the 3rd and 12th week of pregnancy. Potential causes may include chromosome errors, inherited genetic factors, prenatal infections or injuries, prenatal toxic exposures, structural blockage by cysts or other brain abnormalities and metabolic disorders.

Common characteristics associated with ACC:

The following lists identify characteristics commonly associated with ACC. Individual differences are common and not all persons with ACC will experience these characteristics.

Health-related/Physical:

• Vision impairments (near/farsightedness, nystagmus, strabismus, problems with depth perception)
• Low muscle tone (hypotonia)
• Early feeding difficulties/gastric reflux/chewing and swallowing difficulties
• Abnormal head and facial features
• High tolerance to pain
• Sleep difficulties (e.g. getting to sleep, nighttime waking, bed-wetting)
• Seizures or spasticity
• Hearing impairments
• Elimination problems including chronic constipation
• Less common: Genito-urinary defects, cardiac abnormalities, skeletal defects, metabolic disorders, genetic conditions.

Developmental:

• Delays in attaining motor milestones such as sitting, walking, riding a bike
• Early speech and language delays (particularly in expressive communication)
• Clumsiness/poor motor coordination
• Delayed toilet training

Social/behavioral:

• Generally happy disposition, enjoys being with others
• Socially immature
• Lack of self awareness
• Inability to take the perspective of others
• Difficulties understanding and acting on the social cues of others
• Difficulty maintaining attention
• Restlessness or hyperactivity
• Fearfulness
• Obsessive/compulsive behaviors
• Challenges with peer interactions and relationships that seem to increase with age and the complexity of the social situations.

Cognitive/Communication:

Although mental retardation can occur in association with callosal conditions, individuals with ACC may also have normal intelligence. Yet, research suggests that even those with isolated ACC and normal intelligence may experience subtle neuropsychological and cognitive challenges.

• Early speech and language delays (particularly with expressive communication)
• Misinterpretation of the nonverbal communication of others (i.e. their facial expressions or tone of voice)
• Difficulties with complex tasks, abstract reasoning, problem solving (such as managing money and schedules, responding to novel  situations)
• Limited insight into their own behavior and limitations
• Difficulty imagining the consequences of their own behavior
• Difficulty understanding abstract language/concepts
• Difficulty understanding slang, sarcasm, and sophisticated humor
• Difficulty understanding others’ perspectives and emotions
• Confabulation (communicating information that is untrue while perceiving that it is true)

ACC Associated syndromes:

• Aicardi syndrome
• Arnold-Chiari malformation
• Dandy-Walker syndrome
• Andermann syndrome
• Shapiro syndrome
• Acrocallosal syndrome
• Septo-optic dysplasia
• Mowat-Wilson syndrome
• Menkes syndrome

Diagnosis:

A brain scan is necessary to diagnose callosal conditions. Brain scans include:

• Prenatal ultrasound
• Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Computerized tomography (CT scan)
• MRI (provides the most detailed information)

Prognosis:

The prognosis with ACC is variable. The condition does not cause death in the majority of patients. Although many children with the disorder lead normal lives nad have average intelligence. Children with ACC accompanied by developmental delay and/or seizure disorders should be screened for metabolic disorders. The mental retardation associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum is not progressive.

Treatment:

There are no specific treatments for agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) in modern medicine, but most patients will require input from a multidisciplinary team for management of ACC. This may include neurologists, neuropsychologists, ayurvedic doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, pediatricians, geneticists, specific schooling support and early intervention specialists.

Ayurveda therapies for ACC:

According to Ayurveda, ACC occurs due to Pitru beej dosha i.e. Genetic disorder.
