Since cerebral palsy (CP) is associated with children, much of the data consists of infants and young children. There is little information on difficulties that adults with cerebral palsy face as they get older. However, a recent study fills in this lack of data. Published in JAMA Neurology, it concluded that adults with cerebral palsy are more likely to be diagnosed with depression and anxiety.
The study
Conducted by British, American, and Irish researchers, they utilized data from the United Kingdom’s Clinic Practice Research Datalink primary care database. Their data spans the years 1987 to 2015. They examined 1,705 adults, ages 18 to 99, with cerebral palsy who were also diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Each adult was compared to three adults without CP. These individuals were chosen for having the same age, gender, and primary care practice as adults with CP. The data covers about 7% of the country’s population. It consists of clinical events, prescriptions, referrals, and hospital admissions.
Throughout his young life, Gallegos overcame significant adversity due to his condition. He learned to walk at 2 years old, with the assistance of a walker. However, physical therapy helped improve his stride well enough that he did not need it by the time he reached Kindergarten. Gallegos initially wanted to join his high school’s football team, but his father Brent persuaded him to join the cross country team instead. Brent and Justin spoke to his high school’s cross country coaches Darren James and Larry David about possibly joining the team. Brent assured both coaches that their son could run three miles needed for a cross-country race, and Justin would have a strong work ethic.
ZHP-manufactured Valsartan could be found in various countries throughout the world. The relatively low manufacturing costs in China made it attractive for countries such as the United States to import it. While these generic drugs may be cheaper to make in China, there are fewer regulations that ensure these drugs are safely manufactured. This is the tradeoff that you get when buying some generic drug imports. As a result of the discovery of NDMA in ZHP-manufactured valsartan, the European Union, Taiwan, Canada, the United States, and South Korea announced successive
