Treatment Eases Involuntary Laughing, Crying Tied to Alzheimer's and MS

!±8± Treatment Eases Involuntary Laughing, Crying Tied to Alzheimer's and MS

Victims of certain kinds of neurological disorders can involuntarily start crying or laughing. This is commonly called 'pseudobulbar affect' (PBA). This is in fact, a common sign among patients suffering from mental disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. This can also affect people with dementias, brain infections and injuries.

Scientists believe that a number of American suffer from PBA. Though the studies estimate an approximate number of 2 million cases, the actual figure may be as high as 7 million! In many cases, PBA is mistaken to be depression.

In order to treat this disorder, certain combinations of medications were found to be potentially effective. Two drugs are commonly used to treat this symptom -- a low dosage of quinidine and another medication called dextromethorphan. While dextromethorphan regulates the behavior of the victim, quinidine balances any abnormalities in heart rhythm. A combination of these two drugs is found to potentially reduce the severity and incidence of PBA among victims thus improving the quality of life.

There is no particular therapy that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) so far. The drugs used to treat PBA have their own set of potential problems and side effects. Hence, for the safety of patients, it is better not to go for off-label drugs that could result in complications in the future.

However, rigorous research is on to gain a federally approved therapy for PBA patients as it can be very socially disabling. Studies need to be conducted on a bigger set of patients in order to arrive at any rigid conclusions.

DMX Lighting Basics Explained

!±8± DMX Lighting Basics Explained

It is often a difficult thing to try to understand professional lighting systems. The key to using the full extent of any lighting system is in understanding DMX Lighting Basics.

The first of the basics that must be understood is in the term "DMX". It is short for digital multiplex, and the full term is actually "DMX 512". The 512 stands for how many channels, or control options, are in a universe. A universe is the total number of channels in a DMX 512 configuration.

A lighting programmer would use a DMX 512 setup to control lights, dimmers, fog machines, or anything that is connected into this data stream. It is sometimes easier to think of it as a way to communicate with hardware, much like the way a computer communicates with peripherals such as monitors and mice.

The second of the DMX basics is channel assignment. As previously mentioned, there are 512 control channels in a universe. Each fixture, or lighting device, has a different amount of channels that can be controlled. For example, a Martin Mac 250 can have over fifteen control channels! These channels control the movement, rotations, color, gobo, and even speed of any device that is hooked up to a DMX 512 universe. The channels must be assigned correctly for the fixture to be controlled by the mixer, so it is critical that the correct manuals be consulted before setup.

The final point of the basics is cable assignment. Before you can run anything on a DMX 512 system, you have to make sure that you are running the right types of cable to the right fixtures. The most common way to run cabling is in a sequence of output to input. This way, if there is a problem in the data link, the programmer will be able to find it quickly.

The cable that is used is extremely important. For some systems, there is not enough output power coming from the mixer. DMX cable must be used in this case to insure that data transfer is complete. Often times, a programmer will use XLR cables instead to save money. While this usually alright, consult the manual on your fixture or system to be sure.

The use of these three basic concepts will help produce a favorable lighting result. There are many exciting aspects to the DMX 512 system, and it is sure to impress even the novice user.

Martin DSM Solid Top Dreadnought Mahogany-Spruce Acoustic Guitar

!±8± Martin DSM Solid Top Dreadnought Mahogany-Spruce Acoustic Guitar

This acoustic guitar from Martin packs a massive amount of tone into a guitar with a genuinely good price tag, especially considering it's a Martin. It's great news for any guitarist looking to get their first Martin or anyone interested in upgrading into the top bracket of acoustic guitar manufacturers.

The DSM stands Dreadnought Spruce Mahogany referring to the woods used in the construction of the guitar. The top is solid spruce while the back and sides are built from Mahogany along with the neck. It also features a morado fretboard and bridge. So what does all of that add up to? Well, beautifully warm tones full of earth and feeling, that's what.

Something Martin are excellent at is X bracing and this creates a very bright and open sound which is at the same time balanced and will certainly fill a room. This acoustic guitar packs a punch and many owners are raving about it's punchy bass which is equal to that of much more expensive Martin guitar models further up the line.

The case that accompanies the guitar is also of excellent quality and will certainly stand up the rigors of being on the road or international travel on airlines, the guitar fits perfectly inside and the smell is heaven!

As will all Martin acoustic guitars you are buying into a rich tradition of craftsmanship and the human touch on this guitar is obvious in it's finish. It's such a warm guitar to play and full of that elusive bell like tone. It's the perfect acoustic guitar for anyone looking to upgrade to their first 'proper' guitar and like any well made instrument, it's only going to sound better as it ages.
