Alan B. Shepard, the first American astronaut, was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in 1964, grounding him after only one brief spaceflight. Several years later, surgery (which was then at the experimental stage) was performed, allowing Shepard to fly to the Moon on Apollo 14. It is suspected that Charles Darwin suffered from Ménière’s disease. It is based on a common list of symptoms which were present at Darwin's case, such as tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, nausea, motion sickness, vomiting, gastrointestinal proble ...

Every big media event needs what journalists and flacks alike refer to as "the hook." An ideal hook becomes the central element of a story that makes it newsworthy, evokes a strong emotional response, and sticks in the memory. In the case of the Gulf War, the "hook" was invented by Hill & Knowlton. In style, substance and mode of delivery, it bore an uncanny resemblance to England's World War I hearings that accused German soldiers of killing babies. On October 10, 1990, the Congressional Human Rights Caucus held a hearing on Capi ...

John Paul II wrote an entire Apostolic Letter on the topic of suffering, specifically the salvific meaning of suffering: Salvifici Doloris. It is considered a major contribution to the theology of pain and suffering. This he wrote after suffering from the bullet wound due to the assassination attempt of Ali Agca. Six weeks after meeting his attacker, he wrote what some consider to be one of the most beautiful teachings about suffering in Christianity. Some of the salient points are (italics ad ...

While secrecy was a key feature of the success in securing the route, historians feel it is likely that Rogers had planned to finance the new railroad with sale of bonds to the public once the route had been secured, the two roads combined, and the name changed. However, these plans had suffered some setbacks in the "Financial Panic" which began in March of 1907. An initial offering of Virginian Railway bonds was poorly received by the financial community. Rogers was quite concerned about the situation, and then, a few months later that same ...

Born in Norway, Tveitan began playing piano at seven and guitar at ten and began recording songs shortly thereafter. His influences range from metal, classical, ambedient and techno. He grew up on a large farm in rural Norway. Tveitan first met his partner in numerous musical projects, Tomas Haugen (AKA Samoth) at the age of thirteen at a music seminar. Tveitan gained Haugen's attention with his Iron Maiden patches[1]. In 1991 they formed Thou Shalt Suffer together, a death/black metal band where Tveitan was guitarist and keyboardist. ...

Various forms of self-denial or voluntary suffering (commonly referred to as Ascetism) are practised in various ways by members of many religions, including Christianity (particularly Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic monks, and numeraries of the Prelature of Opus Dei), Islam (particularly in Sufism and Shi'a Islam). Various indigenous peoples also incorporated voluntary pain, suffering, and self-d ...

Pressure sores can trigger other ailments, and cause patients considerable suffering and financial cost (Brem et al., 2004). They are highly likely to become chronic wounds, with only 62% of stage 4 pressure ulcers ever healing, and only 52% healing within one year (Thomas et al., 2005). Some complications include autonomic dysreflexia, bladder distension, osteomyelitis, pyarthroses, sepsis, amyloidosis, anemia, urethral fistula, and very rarely malignant transformation. Sores often recur because patients do not follow recommended treatment or develop seromas, hematomas, infections, or dehiscence. Paralytic patients are the most li ...

Mortification of the flesh - Recent Church documents. Recent theology affirms the practice of mortification. The catechism of the Catholic Church states: “The way of perfection passes by way of the Cross. There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle. Spiritual progress entails the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes” (n. 2015). "Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before him, does not aim first at ...

The early Christians fulfilled the desire of imitating Christ in his passion and death in an "ultimate" way through martyrdom and through what has been called "confession of the faith": accepting torture in a joyful way. Another way of self-denial which developed quickly in the early centuries is the practice of virginity, giving up the pleasures of sex and of having children for higher supernatural ends. Starting in the fourth century, hermits started to populate the deserts as their way of doing penance. Saint Jerome a biblical s ...

The term “mortification of the flesh” comes from Saint Paul in this quote: “For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.” (Rom 8:13). The same idea is seen in the following verses: “Put to death what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” (Col 3:5) “And those who belon ...

The symptoms of Meniere's are variable; not all sufferers experience the same symptoms. However, four symptoms are considered to comprise so-called "classic Meniere's": periodic episodes of rotary vertigo (the abnormal sensation of movement) or dizziness fluctuating, progressive, unilateral (in one ear) or bilateral (in both ears) hearing loss, often in the lower frequency ranges unilateral or bilateral tinnitus (the perception of noises, often ringing, roaring, or whooshing), sometimes variable a sensation ...

Crime and Punishment - Salvation through suffering. Crime and Punishment illustrates the theme of attaining salvation through suffering, a common feature in Dostoevsky's work. This is the (mainly Christian) notion that the act of suffering has a purifying effect on the human spirit allowing for salvation in God. A character who embodies this theme is Sonya, who maintains enough faith to guide and support Raskolnikov despite her own immense suffering. While it may seem grim, it is a relatively optimistic no ...

Love in the Time of Cholera - Love as an Emotional and Physical Disease. Garcia's main notion is that lovesickness is a literal illness, a disease comparable to cholera. Florentino Ariza suffers from this just as he might suffer from any malady. At one point, Florentino conflates his physical agony with his amorous agony when he vomits after eating flowers in order to imbibe Fermina's scent. In the final chapter, the Captain's declaration of metaphorical plague is another manifestation of this.

The Cruciatus Curse, which inflicts excruciating physical pain upon the victim, requires not only the incantation and the use of a wand, but there is evidence that an intense hatred, desire to inflict pain, and sadistic pleasure at the pain of the victim are also required for the curse to be cast effectively. The extreme pain inflicted by the curse - without apparent physical harm or physical evidence - makes it uniquely suited as a form of torture, and has been used so repeatedly by Death Eaters. In Harry Potter and the Ord ...

Meniere's sometimes begins with one or two of the classic symptoms, but with time the others normally develop as well. Attacks of vertigo can become worse and more frequent over time, resulting in loss of employment, loss of the ability to drive, and inability to travel. Some patients become largely housebound. Hearing loss can become more profound and may become permanent. Some patients become deaf in the affected ear. Tinnitus can also worsen over time. Some patients with unilateral symptoms, as many as fifty percent by some estimates, will develop symptoms ...

Full-spectrum bulbs, "light boxes" and "sunlight lamps" can be purchased as specialty lighting products for those suffering from SAD.

Treatment of depression varies broadly, and is different for each individual. Various types and combinations of treatments may have to be tried. There are two primary modes of treatment, typically employed in conjunction with one another: medication and psychotherapy. A third treatment, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) may be used where chemical treatment fails. Other alternative treatments used for depression include exercise and the use of v ...
