Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I saw the article as well and am cautiously optimistic that sometime soon, through all the recent research and attention to autism, that there will be a way to reverse the harm done to people on the spectrum. I am not sure if this is it, but it is encouraging that there are signs of positive things happening. > > Just saw this on news > > http://news./s/afp/20070627/hl_afp/ushealthautism > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 No, you people on the list really don't get it. After all, you haven't been research geeks in these kinds of situations like I have. This means it will take LONGER to help the kids with autism than if the government kept being oppositional. The researchers will keep pretending they are on the verge of great discoveries but never make them. They'll lull people into complacence whereby everyone will stop looking around for what to do for their kid because they think the doctors are busy doing important research and will have the cure soon. You may think I am being silly, but then consider that the " war on cancer " was declared in 1972, and after about 35 years they are finally saying the death rate has declined by a minute amount for one or two specific cancers. It didn't budge for 30 years.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 No, I suppose I don't get it. I guess I haven't been in this long enough to truly become as abrasive and cynical as some. I'm sure, in time, I'll get there. For now, I like to keep an open mind and try to be optimistic even when things seem daunting each way you turn.--- > > > > > > Just saw this on news > > > > > > http://news./s/afp/20070627/hl_afp/ushealthautism > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yes, today's autistics do not have fragile X. By inhibiting an enzyme that affects the connections between brain cells, the effects of MR and autism were reversed. However, the article does not state that inhibiting the enzyme will only help fragile X patients. FOr so many non-verbal autistics who do not have fragile X -- guessing that many of them also have brain cell connectivity problems. How do we know they won't be helped by this? I share Andy's skepticism but respectfully disagree that all researchers are " pretending " -- some really want to find a cure and help resolve this issue -- like Andy Cutler himself. By the way, as an Army scientist with an engineering degree, I work on research all the time.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Jasleen, Atmospheric pressure is 0 mmHg. The intraplural pressure becomes - 4mmHg during inspiration so that air flows from Atmosphere into the lungs.Hence it becomes more subatmospheric. I hope Ive cleared ur doubt.
