10 Most Strange Illness

This is the list of world's strangest illness possible. Some of them are well-known, while probably you might heard the rest for the first time.

So, don't waste any more time; let's see what is that they say unbelievable disease:

1.)Cotard's Syndrome or Walking Corpse Syndrome Real dead man walking. Discovered by neurologist Dr. Jules Cotard, this type of illness states a condition which patient believes they've already kick the bucket. That's right. According to Dr.Cotard's journal, he noted about one of his patients: "She believes she has already dead, so it's unnecessary to eat".

Strange but true, with this illness, the patient is likely to believe they have lost organ system and such. Or, even believe that their soul had gone. In some cases, the patient will believe they've already dead so much that they smell rotten from their own bodies, hallucinate and see worms and bugs coming out of the skin or even believe they've lost inner organs and insist not to eat anything.

2.) Vampire Syndrome The name's said it all. Just like in the movie, what scares vampire syndrome patients the most is, indeed, sunlight. The reason is also simple; this is a type of skin disease, which the patient will get sunburn easier than others. When facing the sunlight, the skin will be immediately dried out, crack, flaky or burn.

3.) Jumping French Man of Maine Disorder No joke. First presented by American Physician and neurologist Dr. George Miller Beard as he described the bizarre mental condition of which the patient will react to the stimulating order in an extreme behavior. For example, if someone shouts "slap your wife!" then he will freak out and rush to attack his wife right at the moment. Or, if the patient heard some strange phrases in foreign language, we will be out of control and repeat the phrase over and over again.



4.) Blaschko's Lines An extremely rare phenomenon of the anatomy first presented by Dr. Alfred Blaschko, Dermatologist from Germany. This is a type of skin disease appears in stripes all over the body.



5.) Pica Disorder Another type of mental illness in which the patient prefer a strange kinds of non-nutritive appetites such as coal, soil, paper, ash, etc. There's still no proper cure for the disease.

6.) Micropsia or Alice in Wonderland Syndrome It's the brain, not the eyes that need to be fixed. This is a type of neurological condition which affects on the patient's visual perception towards objects. For example, the patient might look at the dog but sees it in the size of rat. Or, looking at the car but the size is as same as toys.



7.) Elephantiasis Finally we come to something common. This is a disease characterized by the thickening of the skin. The caused is types of parasite worms transmitted by mosquitoes.



8.) Hypertrichosis or Werewolf Syndrome Another fancy name illness. This is a condition of excessive body hair especially in upper body, face and limbs. The case is so rare that statistic shows possibility only 1 in a billion will do. There are approximately only 19 people around the world suffering from hypertrichosis alive today. The overall is 50 by now. One of the most famous patients nowadays is likely to be Pruthviraj Patil, a boy from India who struggling with a difficult time in school and daily life because of the condition.



9.) Progeria or Hutchinson - Gilford Syndrome You might be familiar with this illness from Robin William's heartwarming movie ‘Jack'. No treatment proved effective, this is the extremely rare genetic condition where the signs of aging problems appear too early. The possibility is 1 in 8 millions and most of them died at the age of 13.



10.) Blue Skin Disease or Metheglobinemia I'm not going to lie; this strange illness really exists! It is the disease characterized by the presence of a higher than normal level of methemoglobin (metHb) in the blood. The result is in the condition wear the skin turns into something near purple. The most famous example for this case is according to the memorandum in USA approximately 180 years ago, the family of Martin Fugate, French orphanage who arrived and settled in Kentucky in 1820, related to this illness for almost 6 generations.

En noviembre de 2005 Nick Jonas apenas tenía trece años, pero estaba a punto de comenzar a vivir la vida que la mayoría de gente solo puede soñar. Nick y sus hermanos habían conseguido un contrato de grabación y estaban de gira por una ciudad a otra cuando su familia se dio cuenta de que algo andaba mal.

Nick había perdido mucho peso de repente, unos siete kilos (quince libras) en tres semanas. Tenía sed todo el tiempo y de repente una mala actitud, que no era típica de él. Lo que comenzó como una sencilla visita al médico cambió todas sus vidas, porque Jonas recibió la noticia de que tenía diabetes tipo 1.

"Uno nunca piensa que le va a tocar. Tenía trece años con un historial médico perfecto", explicó Jonas, que se presentó en el National Press Club en Washington, D.C., el lunes. "Lo primero que pregunte fue si iba a morir. Mi médico me dijo que no, pero que era algo con lo que tendría que convivir el resto de mi vida".

Jonas, que ahora tiene 16 años, dijo que mientras recibía un curso rápido sobre la atención de la diabetes en el hospital, intentaba pensar cómo convertir su diagnóstico en algo positivo, pero "resultaba imposible".

Finalmente, cuenta, "se me ocurrió. Algo bueno podía salir de esto. Sabía que [los Jonas Brothers] estábamos de viaje hacia lugares que no podía ni comenzar a imaginarme. Y pensé que ya era suficiente. Ya era suficiente de sentir pena de mí mismo, así que me hice el compromiso conmigo mismo de no permitir [que la diabetes] me detuviera".

Aunque muchas personas están familiarizadas con la diabetes tipo 2, que con frecuencia ataca a una edad mayor, la diabetes tipo 1 es menos común. Aún así, cada año se diagnostica a 30,000 niños más diabetes tipo 1 en los EE. UU., según la Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

La causa exacta de la diabetes tipo 1 no es clara. Los investigadores sospechan que es probable que una combinación de factores genéticos y un "desencadenante" ambiental, como una enfermedad, sean los responsables. La dieta no es un factor en el desarrollo de la diabetes tipo 1.

Lo que los médicos sí saben es que el sistema inmunitario del organismo ataca por error a las células insulares (beta) del páncreas y destruyen su capacidad para producir insulina. La insulina es una hormona que permite que las células del cuerpo utilicen la glucemia como combustible. Para sobrevivir, alguien que tenga diabetes tipo 1 debe inyectarse insulina cuando consume alimentos que contengan carbohidratos, de manera que el cuerpo pueda usar el azúcar de esos alimentos como combustible de manera apropiada. La diabetes tipo 1 es una enfermedad de por vida que no tiene cura conocida.

Cuando le diagnosticaron diabetes tipo 1 en 2005, los niveles de glucemia de Jonas eran superiores a 700 miligramos por decilitro (mg/dL), un nivel que puede resultar letal. Para alguien que no tiene diabetes, una lectura normal de glucemia es inferior a 140 mg/dL si ha comido, o por debajo de 100 mg/dL antes de desayunar, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de las Enfermedades (CDC) de EE. UU.

Entre las señales de hiperglucemia se encuentran:

Sed extrema
Hambre
Micción frecuente
Irritabilidad
Visión borrosa
Dolor de estómago
Cuando la glucemia es de alrededor de 300 o más, se puede desarrollar una afección grave conocida como cetoacidosis diabética, según la Dra. Neslihan Gungor, endocrinóloga pediátrica del Hospital conmemorativo Scott & White de Temple, Texas. Esta afección puede causar convulsiones, coma e incluso la muerte.

Actualmente, Jonas gestiona su diabetes mediante el uso de una bomba de insulina, la revisión frecuente de la glucemia (hasta una docena de veces al día) y vigilando su dieta. Jonas mencionó que una idea errónea común que la gente tiene es pensar que hay alimentos que no puede comer porque sufre de diabetes.

Explicó que con la diabetes tipo 1 "se puede comer casi cualquier cosa que se quiera, pero hay que usar suficiente insulina y comer porciones más pequeñas".

Sin embargo, los pacientes de diabetes tipo 1 también deben tener cuidado de no administrarse un exceso de insulina, porque eso puede causar una hipoglucemia, que también puede ser peligrosa.

Gungor afirmó que Jonas "es un modelo para todos los jóvenes y prueba que una persona que tiene diabetes puede hacer un muy buen trabajo en su profesión". Pero añadió que para tener el mejor rendimiento, Jonas debe revisar su glucemia con frecuencia y seguir de cerca un plan de alimentación adecuado que incluye proteínas y carbohidratos saludables para mantener sus niveles de glucosa más constantes.

Parece que Jonas maneja bien su diabetes. La banda casi termina una gira importante por los EE. UU. y luego filmará una continuación de su popular película Camp Rock antes de dirigirse a Europa para una gira de ocho países. La banda también comenzó una institución caritativa llamada Change for the Children para ayudar a los niños que tienen diabetes y otras necesidades. Por su cuenta, Jonas recientemente testificó ante el Congreso para propugnar apoyo para la investigación sobre la diabetes, conoció al Presidente Barack Obama y funge como embajador de diabetes de Bayer Diabetes Care.

A los que acaban de recibir un diagnóstico de diabetes tipo 1, les aconsejó "si es independiente, no tema confiar en otras personas en su batalla La diabetes no afecta solo al individuo, sino también a la familia que le rodea. Pueden ayudarle a enfrentarlo".

Jonas apuntó que definitivamente hay momentos en que desearía simplemente ser "normal" y no tener diabetes durante al menos un día (o más), pero que realmente le ilusionan los momentos en que escucha "hay gente que han recibido aliento de mi historia" o de la canción que escribió sobre tener diabetes, A Little Bit Longer.

"Intento siempre tener el control", dijo Jonas sobre su diabetes, "para poder hacer lo que quiero en la vida, y poder vivir mi sueño".

the notebook

In a modern-day nursing home, an elderly man named Duke (James Garner) begins to read a love story from his notebook to a female fellow patient (Gena Rowlands).

The story begins in 1940. At a carnival in Seabrook Island, South Carolina, local country boy Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) sees seventeen-year-old heiress Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) for the first time and is immediately smitten. She continuously refuses his persistent advances until their well-meaning friends lure them together; they then get to know each other on a midnight walk through empty Seabrook.

Noah and Allie spend an idyllic summer together. One night, a week before Allie is to leave town, she and Noah go up to an abandoned house called The Windsor Plantation. Noah tells her that he hopes to buy the house, and Allie makes him promise that the house will be white, with blue shutters, a walk-around porch, and a room that overlooks the creek so she can paint. They intend to make love for the first time, but are interrupted by Noah's friend Fin (Kevin Connolly) with the news that Allie's parents have the police out looking for her. When Allie returns home, her disapproving parents ban her from seeing Noah again. Allie fights with Noah outside and the two decide to break up. Allie immediately regrets the decision but Noah drives away. The next morning, Allie's mother reveals that they are going home that morning. Allie frantically tries to find Noah, but is forced to leave without saying good-bye. The Hamiltons then send Allie to New York, where she begins attending Sarah Lawrence College. Noah, devastated by his separation from Allie, writes her one letter a day for a year, only to get no reply as Allie's mother keeps the letters from her. Noah and Allie have no choice but to move on with their lives. Allie continues to attend school, while Noah and Fin enlist to fight in World War II. Fin is killed in battle.

Allie becomes a nurse for wounded soldiers. There, she meets the wealthy Lon Hammond, Jr. (James Marsden), a well-connected young lawyer who is handsome, sophisticated, charming and comes from old Southern money. The two eventually become engaged, to the joy of Allie's parents, although Allie sees Noah's face when Lon asks her to marry him.

When Noah returns home, he discovers his father has sold their home so that Noah can go ahead and buy The Windsor Plantation. While visiting Charleston to file some paper work, Noah witnesses Allie and Lon kissing at a restaurant, causing Noah to go a little crazy, convincing himself that if he fixes up the house, Allie will come back to him.

While trying on her wedding dress in the 1940s, Allie is startled to read about Noah completing the house in the style section of a Raleigh newspaper and faints. She visits Noah in Seabrook and he invites her to dinner, during which Allie tells Noah about her engagement. Noah questions whether Allie's future husband is a good man and she reassures Noah that he is. Later in the evening, Noah invites Allie to come back tomorrow.

In the present, it is made clear that the elderly woman is Allie suffering from dementia, which has stolen her memories and Duke is her husband. Allie does not recognize their grown children and grandchildren, who beg Duke to come home with them. He insists on staying with Allie.

The next morning, Allie and Noah go rowing on a nearby lake and begin to reminisce about their summer together. As a rain storm starts Noah rows to shore, where Allie demands to know why Noah never wrote to her. After the revelation that Noah had indeed written to Allie, they share a passionate kiss, before making love into the night.

The next day, Allies mother appears on Noahs doorstep, telling Allie that Lon has followed her to Seabrook after Allie's father told him about Noah. Her mother takes Allie out for a drive to show her that there had been a time in her life when she could relate to Allie's present situation. On returning to Noah's, she hands her daughter the bundle of 365 letters that Noah had written to her. When alone, Noah asks Allie what she is going to do; Allie is confused and confesses that she doesnt know. Noah asks her to just stay with him, admitting it is going to be really hard, but he is willing to go through anything because he wants to be with her. Confused as ever, Allie drives off.

Allie drives to the hotel and confesses to Lon, who is angry but admits that he still loves her. He tells her that he does not want to convince his fiancée that she should be with him, but Allie tells him he does not have to, because she already knows she should be with him.

The film goes back to the elderly couple, and Duke asks Allie who she chose. She soon realizes the answer herself; young Allie appears at Noah's doorstep, having left Lon at the hotel and chosen Noah. They embrace in reunion.

Elderly Allie suddenly remembers her past before she and Noah/Duke joyfully spend a brief intimate moment together; after originally finding out about her illness, she had herself written their story in the notebook with the instructions for Noah to "Read this to me, and I'll come back to you." But soon Allie relapses, losing her memories of Noah yet again. She panics, and has to be sedated by the attending physician. This proves to be too difficult for Noah to watch and he breaks down. The next morning, Noah is found unconscious in bed and he is rushed to the hospital; he later returns to the nursing home's intensive care ward. He goes to Allie's room later that night, and Allie remembers again. The next morning, a nurse finds them in bed together, having both died peacefully holding each other's hands. The last scene shows a flock of birds flying away.

she wolf

S.O.S she's in disguise.
S.O.S she's in disguise.
There's a She Wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out!

A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy.

The moon's awake now with eyes wide open.
My body’s craving, so feed the hungry.

I’ve been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday, and Friday to Friday.
Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it.
I’m starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office.
So I’m gonna go somewhere cozy to get me a lover, and tell you all about it.

There’s a She Wolf in the closet.
Open up and set it free.
There’s a She Wolf in the closet.
Let it out so it can breathe.

Sitting across a bar, staring right at her prey.
It’s going well so far, she’s gonna get her way.

Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent.
The moon's my teacher, and I’m her student.

To locate the single men I got on me a special radar,
And the fire department hotline in case I get in trouble later.
Not looking for cute little divos or rich city guys I just want to enjoy,
By having a very good time, and behave very bad in the arms of a boy.

There's a She Wolf in the closet.
Open up and set her free.
There's a She Wolf in the closet.
Let it out so it can breathe.

S.O.S. she's in disguise.
S.O.S. she's in disguise.
There's a She Wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out!

S.O.S. she's in disguise.
S.O.S. she's in disguise.
There's a She Wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out!

There's a She Wolf in the closet.
Let it out so it can breathe.
