REUTERS/Mary F. Calvert Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Jennifer Wexton, a Virginia Democrat, on Monday said she would not seek reelection after doctors updated her diagnosis to a more serious condition, which she likened to "Parkinson’s (disease) on steroids." PSP is a neurological disorder that affects body movements, causing problems with walking, eye movement, and swallowing and worsens over time. The rare condition is characterized by symptoms that are similar to Parkinson's but more difficult to treat. Wexton flipped a seat held by Republicans for decades in 2018 as voters veered away from then-President Donald Trump.

Cognitive decline, dementia common after stroke

About 40% of the survivors of stroke have mild cognitive impairment that does not meet the diagnostic criteria for dementia. Cognitive impairment is most common within the first two weeks after a stroke, the statement said. The American Stroke Association’s statement did offer some good news: About 20% of people who experience mild cognitive impairment after a stroke fully recover their cognitive function, typically within the first six months. Stroke risk factors, such as hypertension, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, should be treated, as should atrial fibrillation. “Perhaps the most pressing need, however, is the development of effective and culturally relevant treatments for post-stroke cognitive impairment,” she said.

CNN —Stiff person syndrome is a rare neurological condition that can take years to diagnose and tailor treatment. What is stiff person syndrome? The first case of stiff person syndrome was reported in the 1950s, according to Newsome, and the disease was historically referred to as “stiff man syndrome.”Since then, it has been found to affect twice as many women than men, and the name was changed to stiff person syndrome to avoid confusion. On average, it takes about seven years for someone to receive a diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, Newsome says. “Sometimes, [patients] get labeled crazy,” he said, “because on exam early on, there aren’t the hallmark features of stiff person syndrome.”How is stiff person syndrome treated?
CNN —Celine Dion is postponing several Europe tour dates after the recent diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder that doesn’t allow her “to sing the way I’m used to,” she announced. The superstar singer has stiff-person syndrome, which affects “something like one in a million people,” Dion, 54, said in an emotional video post Thursday to her verified Instagram account. “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” she said. “Symptoms may include extreme muscle stiffness, rigidity and painful spasms in the trunk and limbs, severely impairing mobility,” the institute says. Dion has struggled with her health for a while, she said, adding she has a great team of medical professionals and her children’s support.
Céline Dion said she's been diagnosed with a rare condition called Stiff Person Syndrome. The neurological condition can cause muscle spasms and affect vocal cords. SPS has no cure, but there are a some treatments that can be used to manage the condition. While there's no cure for SPS, which can cause muscle spasms and difficulties walking, there are ways for patients to manage their condition.
