Any update on the cyclops babies out there?

I've only seen heart cancer once in a body, and it was a younger woman with DS. There's a lot of comorbidities, and people are poorly informed about it.

I didn't even know heart cancer was a thing, I've only heard of it in metastatic form. But yes, DS is way, way, way more than just being a fat, funny looking tard, and it's really disappointing that it gets swept under the rug because the pro-life lobby doesn't want others to know about them. If people were really informed about the extent of the health problems people with Down syndrome can (and do) have, a lot more people would get abortions upon a fetal diagnosis.

 

[Sparkling Yuzu]

Yes and no. I've said this before and I'll say it again, because this is my job: DS has a very high rate of dementia. This is a rather new phenomenon because until somewhat recently, DS adults weren't living long enough for this to be an issue.

But if you ask people if they knew that, most will say no because they dont associate DS with this complication.

I was actually referring to how much is known scientifically but you're right that people are uneducated on all the ds co morbidities and that is very problematic bc it plays right into prolife agendas.

Are you being facetious? Almost all Icelanders speak English, as mentioned above, and coupled with the notorious difficulty of learning the Icelandic language, much less of translating technical information about a genetic condition in a way that is understandable for the layperson, this complaint, if genuine, is baffling and seems like one of those lame "but ACKSHYUALLY" arguments people make when they can't come up with a good point. It's akin to the stereotypical deathfat who is upset that an apparel retailer proclaims "size inclusivity" when their clothing stops at size 8X.

If you are indeed being glib, forgive me. I am, ironically, a retard.


Yup. In fact, by age 40, the brains of almost all people with DS show deposits of amyloid beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles/tau inclusions, which are misshapen variants, or "isoforms", of the same proteins that are found in normal brain tissue. Aggregation of these abnormal isoforms is considered a diagnostic hallmark of Alzheimer-type dementia. By age 60, half of all people with DS will have been diagnosed with Alzheimer disease.

Spoiler: Dementia and DS sperg

Scientists are still working to figure out why dementia happens in DS patients. Of particular interest is a gene called APP, which encodes (or, "gives instructions for the production of") a protein called amyloid precursor protein. The function of this protein is not well understood yet, but it is present on the outside of many types of normal healthy cells, including neurons. The amyloid precursor protein is the molecule that generates both normal amyloid beta polypeptide and the misfolded isoform that comoposes the amyloid plaques in Alzheimer-affected brains.

The APP gene happens to be located on chromosome 21, which is also the chromosome that is duplicated in DS (trisomy 21). So, people with DS have an extra copy of APP, and this appears to give them an extra "dose" of amyloid precursor protein, which affords more chances for misfolding to occur.

Edited for clarity.

No I'm being serious and it's not even really an argument just my personal opinion. It's colonialist to not have it available in Icelandic or any minority, indigenous or threatened language. I love your medsperging posts but ain't nobody on kiwi want my leftist sperging derailing the thread. Deathfat "size inclusivity" is consumerism, not a real issue. Endangered languages are a real issue (not saying that Icelandic specifically is endangered cus idk).

You know how certain organizations promote certain things? For example right now there is a supposed Alz drug designed to help slow down or halt progression? Yeah well the Alzheimer’s Association of America is doing this. Except where I am and at other associations, we are completely against it. Aside from it costing 56k a year per patient , there really is no evidence to justify it. But to get back on topic..(btw Alz.org is a terrible organization to support)

i have a suspicion that the equivalent to whatever Downs Syndrome (National Association for Downs Syndrome) is, is hiding the dementia/DS link on purpose, because if people really knew those stats they may think twice about wanting a DS baby. Those are absolutely terrifyingly high rates of dementia.

I've seen a lot of good journalism in Canada about how that drug is mostly worthless. Some of the ds orgs are really profit driven, prolife scumbags. Just shows how dirty capitalism is that all the big, well known charities seem to be grifters who don't provide any direct help. They just want money for marketing and CEOs.

Lying about test results is another way to falsify medical records, and that is grounds for license revocation.

This is something that each couple needs to decide for themselves.

No they don't. Society should be able to come together as a whole and realize some conditions are just too burdensome to tolerate. Not saying DS should necessarily be one of them but it should be on the table and sustaining the lives of legit potatoes like anacephaelics is such a waste and insult to human dignity. And it's not considered falsifying records anymore if they change it to retarded biased prolife laws. Neocons won't even throw a penny at an impoverished tard or potato. Useless, virtue-signalling laws. Let all the potatoes possible be grown but don't provide the social safety net to care for them.

I'm all for adaptive technology to help people, but with her physical limitations this is pretty unsafe.

This one of the better youtubers and she does a pretty good post on how to appropriately speak to intellectually delayed and why she speaks "down" to some of her disabled children:

She seems like a good mom. She tries hard making her kids independent. I think some are in college or have jobs. Iv seen her videos in the past.

This girl makes me so sad. Isn't there any kind of surgery to help her that can be done? Her existence must be awful. I don't think I've ever seen her smile.

Can’t do anything really. Thanataphoric dysplasia is usually lethal. Name means death bearing dysplasia.

her bones are tiny and misshapen, and her ribcage is too small for her lungs to work iirc. Even if they could try lengthening her bones, her long bones would be shaped like an landline phone handle. Pretty sure that her joints would be all sorts of fucked too.
if you have a look at ultrasound images of the foetuses you get a pretty good idea of what’s going on with her bones.

Ususally they would be getting PT to help with range of motion. The issue at moment is that they have extremely shortened limbs but for some reason they have the amount of skin that normal limbs would have. This limits mobility as well as the shortness of the limbs. Also beleive some cases are missing bones.

As a kid, reading the old-fashioned "Guinness Book of World Records", I remembered the story of the "deformed" 29-pound baby that was stillborn in Effingham, Illinois in the early part of the last century. I finally Googled that a couple days ago, and kinda wished I hadn't, because there was a picture. It (the gender was not identified, but I'm leaning towards it having been male) didn't look like a newborn; it had the body shape of about a 1-year-old.

There was no way anyone could have kept it alive, then or now, and that poor mother! I'm guessing that they took an x-ray because they suspected twins, and decided to play it safe(r) and do a c-section.

I did, thanks. Yep that's a familiar image. There's a rather large textbook on "monstrosities" I've got, from the 60s. (Manual of Teratologies in History, I think it's called.) There's a very similar image in there and now I'll have to look and see if it's the same case

 

[booklover]

One of the things on my bucket list is the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, and they have tons of things like that.

Chances are, there's a stone in a Babyland section of an Effingham cemetery that just says "BABY" and possibly a single date, and this is where the child is.

So is it a cyclops baby that somehow got gigantic? Or something else entirely? Because the face looks like those really severe holoprosencephaly cases.Poor woman, ouch.

Any update on the cyclops babies out there?

mollymaes blog updated a few times since the spud funeral, but nothing really of note. Just a bunch of stuff about grief and jesus.

I'll see if i can find any other interesting cyclops potatoes.

It is a really awesome museum I've been there a few times. Don't miss the entire series of things removed from peoples bodies.

They also host traveling exhibits when i went it was victorian obgyn stuff which was pretty damn creepy.

Most likely the mother had gestational diabetes (and uncontrolled maternal diabetes can contribute to other serious birth defects, the first one that comes to mind being caudal regression; I have a FBF whose baby is probably never going to leave the hospital because of it) and whatever most-likely-genetic issue that made the baby deformed also made it grow really big. Here's one that affected a baby born at my old hospital a while back; I had never heard of it, and in this case, the baby weighed about 9 pounds at birth and lived just a few months.

Here's some of the latest video's from Ember Torres and her holoprosencephaly baby Derek.
The link below shows sprawled on his proud papa's lap while mama giggles about him playing with a toy. Using his hands to grip things and making repetitive motions with his arms are really all he seems to be able to do, but those are close enough to the actions of a normal baby that his mom is convinced he's using conscious reasoning to actually interact with the world around him.

Here, his mom wants to show you that he's able to get mad

And here she expresses some anger herself because "this idiot" was telling her about her kid and they don't even know him like she knows him and she was "not having a good night so this was not the time to get into it" with her.
Parents like her kill me. She puts her severely deformed, profoundly brain damaged kid online for all the world to see, then acts surprised and offended by negative comments. She can claim she's just a mom who loves her kid, but I'm pretty sure he didn't ask to be in her videos and he gets no benefit out of them. She posts because she wants attention and she knows she'll get it when she includes her semicyclops potato baby in her vids. Don't get me wrong. I find medical aberrations fascinating, so if she wants to keep posting these videos, I'll keep watching, but I'm just saying she knew exactly what was going to happen if she showed this kid off to the world, but she chose to do so anyway, so no one is buying her offended, protective mother lion act.

Finally, the video below show's Derek "passed out."...Soo precious...not at all like a Lovecraftian nightmare.

I'd also love to go to the Mutter museum one day. The videos I've seen of it are really interesting, but I'm sure they don't compare to seeing the exhibits up close and in person.

It does seem to have some cephalic condition and aspects of its cranio-facial development appear to be similar to a baby with alobar holoprosencephaly(HPE), but it has so many other deformities and anomalies, I can't tell for sure what it is. I know that HPE can affect other systems in the body, such as the endocrine system, so that might be the case with this kid. I know that Derek, the HPE baby I mention above, also has a lot of deformities and weird features that I don't recall seeing in other HPE babies, so the condition appears to have a lot of variation.
As far as Mollymae, She lived for three days and died, so I can't imagine that there will be many more updates about her.

Ember Torres and her holoprosencephaly baby Derek.

The mama bear act is really fucking annoying. Want asspats for plastering your kid on social media not expecting these comments? Why do they not answer some of them? Besides acting for the camera they pick the easiest questions that put them in a good light. Then do stuff like feed the baby with a cleft palate and can't breathe laying on his back, after talking about how much he can't breathe, adding a visual distortion effect that makes the whole thing horrifying.

A comment from the video.

They mentioned several tests, I want to dig through and see if they ever talk about any of them out of curiosity. But there is just something off about them. The fake tears sell the videos.

Why do they let him keep playing with that line.
