kendra and maliyah herrin

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

But now, cradled in sand-filled hospital beds at Primary Children’s Medical Center that reduce pressure on their skin, the girls were reversed. [1]

Conjoined twins Kendra and Maliyah Herrin say they like being together all the time, but they are also full of plans for separate lives. [2]

Kendra and Maliyah Herrin were born to parents Jake and Erin Herrin February 26, 2002 at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. [3]

Kendra Deene Herrin and Maliyah Mae Herrin, (born February 26, 2002), are former conjoined twins. [4]

The twins are in critical condition, as expected after major surgery, but their vital signs have remained stable and they show no early signs of dangerous post-surgery infections, doctors said. [1]

Kendra retained their shared kidney following the separation surgery, while Maliyah Herrin underwent dialysis until she was transplanted with a kidney donated by her mother in April 2007. [4]

The sandy-haired, blue-eyed girls share one pair of legs, a pelvis, a liver, one functioning kidney, and part of the large intestine. [5]

“They are doing extremely well,” said Dr. Rebecka Meyers, coordinator of the separation, which began Monday morning and concluded Tuesday. [...] A day after the 26-hour surgery that separated their 4-year-old conjoined daughters, Jake and Erin Herrin said they were overwhelmed by their reunion with Kendra and Maliyah. [...] Maliyah was to begin kidney dialysis in preparation for receiving a kidney from her mother in three to six months. [1]

Born at 32 weeks gestation or 8 weeks early, the girls were joined at the abdomen and pelvis and shared a kidney, liver and large intestine. [3]

Maliyah will be put on dialysis until she is strong enough for a kidney transplant from her mother, Erin Herrin, ideally within three to six months. [6]

Surgery then continued on the girls in two separate operations lasting up to eight more hours into the morning of August 8th. [4]

Since birth Kendra has been the twin on the left when the girls were facing their parents, Maliyah on the right. [1]

But a kidney transplant would have been harder before age 4, and doctors advised waiting, said Erin Herrin, who knew 18 weeks into her pregnancy that the twins would be conjoined. [7]

dissociative fugue

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

A fugue state, formally Dissociative Fugue (previously called Psychogenic Fugue) (DSM-IV Dissociative Disorders 300.13), is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality. [1]

Individuals with Dissociative Fugue may have a Mood Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or a Substance-Related Disorder. [2]

People with dissociative fugue temporarily lose their sense of personal identity and impulsively wander or travel away from their homes or places of work. [3]

Dissociative Fugue is one or more episodes of amnesia in which the inability to recall some or all of one’s past and either the loss of one’s identity or the formation of a new identity occur with sudden, unexpected, purposeful travel away from home. [4]

Dissociative fugue is a rare condition in which a person suddenly, without planning or warning, travels far from home or work and leaves behind a past life. [5]

These symptoms can interfere with a person’s general functioning, including social and work activities, and relationships. [3]

The symptoms must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (Criterion D). [2]

Accurate diagnosis typically must wait until the fugue is over and the person has sought help or has been brought to the attention of mental health care providers. [5]

During a fugue, individuals may appear to be without psychopathology and generally do not attract attention. [...] In the forensic context, the examiner should always give careful consideration to the diagnosis of malingering when fugue is claimed. [2]

These symptoms can interfere with a person’s general functioning, including social and work activities, and relationships. [6]

The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. [4]

At some point, the individual is brought to clinical attention, usually because of amnesia for recent events or a lack of awareness of personal identity. [2]

Although there are no laboratory tests to specifically diagnose dissociative disorders, the doctor might use various diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and blood tests, to rule out physical illness or medication side effects as the cause of the symptoms. [6]

The goal of treatment is to help the person come to terms with the stress or trauma that triggered the fugue. [3]

Connect with friends - see if Saint Louis is one of their favorites. [1]

She now shares her love of soul food and memorabilia with customers in an ultra-pink diner known for its friendliness and hospitality. [2]

Remember, the more information you provide will make your review more valuable to others, so don’t forget to mention what makes this business stand out. [3]

Get Directions “…get it as much as i can. [4]

”Soul cuisine” is an apropos description of the menu at Sweetie Pie’s because the food, atmosphere and staff all warm the hungry soul. [3]

I was just watching Diners Dives and Drive Ins (or whatever order its in) and I saw a place called Sweetie Pies. [1]

Sweetie Pies is great soul food, served from steam tables as you walk the line. [...] I will be going to St. Louis is April and last week on Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives, they wend to a resaruant called Sweetie Pie’s at 4270 Manchester Ave. I have been told that there are some not so safe parts of St. Louis. [5]

The TripAdvisor website may not display properly. [...] You’ll pay about $10 a person, but you get a HUGE plate of good, homecooked food (for example, 4 xtra-lg fried chicken wings and 2 good size sides). [1]

Choose the main course, be it pork steak with gravy, ribs or chicken, and then add the necessary sides: sweet corn, okra, sweet potatoes and so on. [3]

If you’re lucky enough to catch the owner between tasks, she’s happy to recount a bit of the history that goes with the pictures. [2]

Beyond its glass-pane facade lies a large interior with plenty of seating for both cozy twosomes and large groups of friends or family in an atmosphere that’s decidedly casual. [3]

This former back-up singer in Ike and Tina Turner’s Fabulous Music Review grew tired of performing after 40 years as a professional songstress. [2]
