HIGH YIELD 2: Marfan's vs Homocystinuria vs Ehlers-Danlos High yield review for the USMLE Step 1 exam. Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers-danlos, and homocystinuria are three distinct diseases that affect connective tissue. They share similarities like tall stature, long fingers, scoliosis, high arched palate, chest wall deformities, joint hypermobility, and lens dislocation. Marfan's syndrome is caused by FBN1 gene mutation on chromosome 15, and it results in defective fibrillin-1. It causes aortic root dilation, and upward lens dislocation. Homocystinuria is caused by a defect in homocysteine breakdown, and it results in elevated levels of homocysteine, which is toxic to the body. It causes thrombosis and downward lens dislocation. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is caused by a deficiency in type III collagen, and it results in hyperextensible skin, easy bruising and bleeding. It can cause vascular rupture, and it usually occurs in the arterial system. Patients with Marfan's syndrome present with scoliosis, long fingers and toes, and caved-in chest wall. Patients with homocystinuria present with developmental delay, long fingers and toes, and upward lens dislocation. Patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome present with recurrent bruising, soft hyperextensible skin, and joint hyperextensibility

We had the pleasure of interviewing Alex Orange Drink over Zoom video! Brooklyn-based songwriter Alex Orange Drink, the solo moniker for Alex Zarou Levine of The So So Glos, is excited to present “Oxytocin (Luv Buzz),” the second track to be lifted from the Friday, September 17 release of his sophomore album titled Everything Is Broken, Maybe That's O.K. (pre-order). On the upcoming album, Alex explores personal subjects, including grappling with a rare and life-threatening disorder, heartbreak, never-ending teenage angst, and broken political systems. Half of the album was recorded before the pandemic in a party-like atmosphere – with basic tracking captured live among friends, family and lovers – while the other half was completed by a heartbroken protagonist reflecting in isolation.Alex Zarou Levine has been writing music and lyrics since youth in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Most notably with his brothers in D.I.Y. punk outfit The So So Glos. There's dark subtext to his lyrics, which are often laced into bright, hooky outsider anthems. During a period in which his band went on hiatus and local DIY venue (and home base) Shea Stadium shuttered, Alex Orange Drink was born. The new solo project took its name “orange drink” as a nod to the medication Alex depends on to treat a rare metabolic disease, Homocystinuria. As with his work in The So So Glos, by flipping a slang term from the ordinary to a new identity, Alex once again exhibited a gift for spinning a negative force into something positive.On his sophomore record, Everything Is Broken, Maybe That's O.K., a permanent state of teenage angst manifests itself through even more hushed tones and sugar-coated sweetness than his debut, resulting in a more complex, vivid soundscape.There is something eerily medical about this collection of songs – two contrasting songs about grappling with a life-threatening disorder (“Homocystinuria Pt. 1” & “Pt. 2”), three songs about chemical addictions triggered by love (“Oxytocin,” “It's Only Drugz,” “I L.U.V. I.O.U.”), plenty of references to the intersection of technology and mental health (“Clickbait, Click Me”), and a closing track that implies that a cure may be found in a return to the natural world (“The Sun Is Only Shining”). Lyrically, Alex delves even further into brave personal territory, continuing to explore his own individual crises and life story in a world that's even more disjointed and damaged than before.Collaborating again with producer Adam Reich (who was behind the board for an impressive list of classics from Brooklyn's D.I.Y. scene), dark subject matter is transformed into positive energy, enriching the music more than any of Alex's previous recordings. If the most cohesive and fulfilling music of Alex's career is the outcome of everything being broken, then maybe that's O.K. .We want to hear from you!

She became involved with the local PKU Organization of Illinois, connecting with others who had a different diagnosis but similar dietary restrictions.
