Congratulations to Cutler who is one of our recent graduates from our program. He is a very intelligent individual and we wish him the best!

Here is what his mom has to say.

"Today is Cutler's last appointment of the SHINE program. We have had good success with this program. Cutler has not been the most willing participant at times. He has been really ornery on several occasions. I have been so impressed with how you have handled all the attitude Cutler has give. He really has improved in so many ways. His concentration is way up. And he is able to work for longer periods of time without stopping. My husband has enjoyed doing things with him that take more time, because Cutler can do them now. I wish we could have found this program years ago. It is so beneficial!

Thank you again for all your teaching and council."

GENERAL ANESTHESIA: two recent journal articles in the Br J Psychiatry and from INSERM and U. of Bordeaux, France; in vivo studies have shown that “inhaled anesthetic agents can promote amyloid B peptide (AB) peptide oligomerisation and enhance AB-induced neurotoxicity in the Br J Psychiatry. They found that patients older than 50 years who underwent surgery for the first time had nearly a double risk for a dementia, primarily Alzheimer’s, compared to nonanesthesized patients. Medical News Today reported on the U of Bordeaus article summarized their findings that elderly patients exposed to general anesthesia had a 35% higher risk. In the same article that the Mayo clinic reported that children exposed to anesthesia on multiple occasions also had a higher risk of ADHD. (Think ear tube surgery)
