Interesting facts about marfan syndrome

 Misguided Interesting facts about marfan syndrome

1) Marfan syndrome is hereditary, meaning that it's passed down from one generation to the next. This means you can't get rid of it by taking medication or undergoing surgery. It's also a genetic disorder so if your parents have it, then chances are they will too.

2) Marfan syndrome affects both men and women equally. There are no known causes for this condition other than genetics. The only way to cure it is through proper medical treatment.

3) Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that affects the collagen in the body. Collagen is the main protein involved in keeping your body tissues flexible and strong. Collagen also forms the skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other supportive structures in the body.

4) Marfan syndrome can affect different parts of the body differently. Some people with the condition have abnormally long arms and legs. Others have abnormalities of the heart, neck, eyes (such as retinas that detach or an overly large eyeball), or other parts of the body.

5) One of the most common types of Marfan syndrome is Marfan's arachnodactyly, which is when tissues are replaced with spider web-like tissue. This can cause the tips of arms and legs to fork into many separate fingers or toes. These people may also have unusually long limbs and a disproportionate torso compared to their arms and legs.

6) Another common type of Marfan syndrome is Marfan's ocular dysplasia, which causes the eyes to be too large for the top of the skull. This can lead to detachment of the retina (the clear layer at the back of the eye) or an overly large eyeball. Blindness is rare with this condition.

7) Some people with Marfan syndrome have an unusually small chest. This is known as thoracic dysplasia. It can affect the ribs as well as the lungs and heart. People with this condition may have shortness of breath, which can be a sign of complications in the future.

8) The long arms and legs of people with Marfan syndrome can put pressure on the heart. This is called a bowed heart and it put pressure on the top of the heart (called the Atria). Over time, this can lead to a heart attack (a tear in the large blood vessel of the heart) or an arrhythmia (abnormally rapid or slow heart rate).

9) People with Marfan syndrome have a higher risk of developing a tumor called a teratoma. This is a type of tumor that forms within an embryo due to a mix of cells from different locations in the body. It can be benign or cancerous. If the teratoma comes into contact with the spinal cord, brain, or nerves, then symptoms can develop.

10) Some people with Marfan syndrome can have dental abnormalities, meaning their teeth develop in an odd way. This can include overgrown or absent teeth, underdevelopment of teeth, or teeth that are mixed in position.

11) Some people with Marfan syndrome have a hairy tongue. It's common for people with the condition to have hair on other parts of the body, such as the face, chest, and arms. This is due to an increase in sebaceous glands (oil glands that produce a substance that keeps the skin hydrated).

12) People with Marfan syndrome may also have an unusually shaped face. The width of the face may be increased. This can make people have a wide-eyed look. The cheeks can be abnormally full. The face may also be elongated, leading to a long nose and a thin mouth.

13) People with Marfan syndrome may have a heart-shaped facial profile, meaning the cheekbones are higher than normal. They may also have a "sail" shape to the back of their hands (due to the way the arm is connected to the shoulder blade).

Leaner creamer nutrition facts

 Imaginary leaner creamer nutrition facts 1) The average American consumes over 4,000 calories of sugar a day! That's more than the recommended daily intake for men and women combined! 2) Over 60% of all packaged foods contain some form of sweetener. (Pepsi, Coke, etc. are big offenders.) 3) In fact, Americans consume nearly twice as much sugar as they do fat. And that's not even counting added sugars like high fructose corn syrup or fruit juice concentrates. 4) When you consume sugar, it instantly goes into your bloodstream. Your body then turns it into a form of energy (called glucose). 5) Glucose is then used immediately for energy or stored in your muscles and liver ( glycogen) in the form of sugar alcohols like fructose and galactose which are later turned into glucose when your body needs it. Sugar causes your body to store fat! Because your muscles and other organs aren't getting the nutrients they need, your body starts storing fat to make up the difference. And bec...
