Dear Topica,

 

                                                                                 I hope this note finds You well

     Keep up the good work

 

     Sounds worse than the chicago/denver sleep deprivation, headaches, gas, tone scams &c

 

     Possibly this neurological entity has to do with what is termed "psy-ops," the surreptitious sensory overload sociopathy which is described in the Literature

 

     If they visited LMD's (Local Medical Doctors) there at Cuba, they probably would have been premeditatively misdiagnosed, eg with the freud scams where the treatable fatigue/dementia syndromes are purposely called depression/psychosis

 

sigismund schlomo freud had visited this Country

 

     he was probably the original schadenfreude-

Quotes-

Writing in Freud: Political and Social Thought-

There is a well-known irony in the ease and extent of Freud's American triumph. For he had the utmost disdain and contempt for American life. "America," he joked, "is a mistake; a gigantic mistake, but a mistake." He denied "hating" America; he merely "regretted" it. His reasons for his difficulties in adjusting to American customs on his trip in 1909 ranged from the absence of public toilets, the quality of the water and the food, to the more common complaints about America- the manners, the sexual hypocrisy, the general lack of culture, the brash wealth."

 

     The reason that freud was deported from Vienna, ~1938 or the year before, was that the nazis apparently knew that the Research (~1936) which provided the structures of the Essential B Vitamines, when administered to Patients, cured some of the fatigue/dementia syndromes and other diseases

     Apparently, by allowing freud to live, the nazis allowed his medical misadventures of depression/psychosis (vs reality processes of fatigue/dementia)  to be kept available in the Medical Literature, probably, with violence, for purposes of hegemony

 

     Essentially, fatigue:depression::dementia:psychosis

And deficiencies of Essential B (1,3, 9, 12) Vitamines, Thiamine, Niacin, Folate, Cobalamin, cause severe fatigue/dementia syndromes

     However, it often appears that the medical misadventure occurs when such deficiencies are called depression/psychosis

 

     Reviewed the freud ~320 texts, letters, articles and he didn't ever mention the word Vitamine

 

The Nobel Prize was Awarded for the Discovery of Vitamines, 1929

 

     freud died about a decade later

 

     Those who scam with such sociopathy would attempt to deny its existence 

     

     Recommend terminating the mr. ikey stark(s), moose gargoyle jim f donaldson esq jd dysentery scams (mortality rate could be up to 30%- implies attempted ______) at the denver masonic consistory which appears to be some sort of fay sociopathy meant to cause the fatigue/dementia syndromes

JAMA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2018

 

The full study is available on the JAMA website and the following link can be embedded in your story: http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2018.1742 

 

 

Bottom Line: Concussion-like symptoms were observed in U.S. government personnel in Cuba after they reported hearing intensely loud sounds in their homes and hotel rooms and feeling changes in air pressure caused by an unknown source. The symptoms were consistent with brain injury although there was no history of head trauma.

 

Why The Research Is Interesting: In late 2016, U.S. government personnel in Havana, Cuba, visited the embassy medical unit after experiencing unusual sound and sensory phenomena and the onset of neurological symptoms. The U.S. Department of State convened an expert panel in July 2017, which came to a consensus that the initial findings were most likely related to neurotrauma from a non-natural source and the department recommended further investigation of the symptoms. The University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Brain Injury and Repair was selected to coordinate the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of these patients. This article in JAMA reports the preliminary findings.

 

Who and When: over 20 government personnel (11 women and 10 men) identified by the State Department and evaluated an average of 203 days following exposure to reported sound (described as “buzzing,” “grinding  metal,” “piercing squeals”) and sensory phenomena (described as pressure-like or vibrating and likened to air “baffling” inside a moving car with the windows partially rolled down)

 

What (Study Measures): Audible and sensory phenomena coming from a distinct direction but from an unknown source (exposure); descriptions of symptoms and personnel experience with rehabilitation and return to work (outcomes)

 

How (Study Design): This was a case series, which describes the clinical course or outcomes of a group of patients. Researchers cannot control for exposures or differences that could explain patient outcomes and they cannot prove a causal relationship.

 

Results: 

 

Study Limitations: To protect patient privacy, certain details typically reported in a case series were omitted, including specifics about geography, the relationship between individuals and individual demographics.

 

Study Conclusions: The unique circumstances of these patients and the clinical manifestations detailed in this report raise concern about a new mechanism for possible acquired brain injury from an exposure of unknown origin.

Conclusions and Relevance- 

In this preliminary report of a retrospective case series, persistent cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor dysfunction, as well as sleep impairment and headaches, were observed among US government personnel in Havana, Cuba, associated with reports of directional audible and/or sensory phenomena of unclear origin. These individuals appeared to have sustained injury to widespread brain networks without an associated history of head trauma

Neurological Manifestations Among US Government Personnel Reporting Directional Audible and Sensory Phenomena in Havana, Cuba

 

neurological manifestations associated with reports of audible and sensory phenomena among US government personnel in Havana, Cuba

 

Findings  In this case series of 21 individuals exposed to directional audible and sensory phenomena, a constellation of acute and persistent signs and symptoms were identified, in the absence of an associated history of blunt head trauma. Following exposure, patients experienced cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor dysfunction, along with auditory symptoms, sleep abnormalities, and headache.

 

Meaning  The unique circumstances of these patients and the consistency of the clinical manifestations raised concern for a novel mechanism of a possible acquired brain injury from a directional exposure of undetermined etiology.

 

Abstract

Importance  From late 2016 through August 2017, US government personnel serving on diplomatic assignment in Havana, Cuba, reported neurological symptoms associated with exposure to auditory and sensory phenomena.

 

Objective  To describe the neurological manifestations that followed exposure to an unknown energy source associated with auditory and sensory phenomena.

 

Design, Setting, and Participants  Preliminary results from a retrospective case series of US government personnel in Havana, Cuba. Following reported exposure to auditory and sensory phenomena in their homes or hotel rooms, the individuals reported a similar constellation of neurological symptoms resembling brain injury. These individuals were referred to an academic brain injury center for multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment.

 

Exposures  Report of experiencing audible and sensory phenomena emanating from a distinct direction (directional phenomena) associated with an undetermined source, while serving on US government assignments in Havana, Cuba, since 2016.

 

Main Outcomes and Measures  Descriptions of the exposures and symptoms were obtained from medical record review of multidisciplinary clinical interviews and examinations. Additional objective assessments included clinical tests of vestibular (dynamic and static balance, vestibulo-ocular reflex testing, caloric testing), oculomotor (measurement of convergence, saccadic, and smooth pursuit eye movements), cognitive (comprehensive neuropsychological battery), and audiometric (pure tone and speech audiometry) functioning. Neuroimaging was also obtained.

 

Results  Of 24 individuals with suspected exposure identified by the US Department of State, 21 completed multidisciplinary evaluation an average of 203 days after exposure. Persistent symptoms (>3 months after exposure) were reported by these individuals including cognitive (n?=?17, 81%), balance (n?=?15, 71%), visual (n?=?18, 86%), and auditory (n?=?15, 68%) dysfunction, sleep impairment (n?=?18, 86%), and headaches (n?=?16, 76%). Objective findings included cognitive (n?=?16, 76%), vestibular (n?=?17, 81%), and oculomotor (n?=?15, 71%) abnormalities. Moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss was identified in 3 individuals. Pharmacologic intervention was required for persistent sleep dysfunction (n?=?15, 71%) and headache (n?=?12, 57%). Fourteen individuals (67%) were held from work at the time of multidisciplinary evaluation. Of those, 7 began graduated return to work with restrictions in place, home exercise programs, and higher-level work-focused cognitive rehabilitation.

 

Conclusions and Relevance  In this preliminary report of a retrospective case series, persistent cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor dysfunction, as well as sleep impairment and headaches, were observed among US government personnel in Havana, Cuba, associated with reports of directional audible and/or sensory phenomena of unclear origin. These individuals appeared to have sustained injury to widespread brain networks without an associated history of head trauma.

 

Introduction

In late 2016, US government personnel serving in Havana, Cuba, began presenting to their embassy medical unit after experiencing unusual auditory and/or sensory stimuli of variable intensity and character, with associated onset of varied neurological manifestations. Initial signs and symptoms pointed toward injury of the auditory system, leading to the establishment of a triage program at the University of Miami centered around otolaryngology evaluation. Eighty embassy community members underwent initial evaluation between February and April 2017, and 16 individuals were identified with similar exposure history and a constellation of neurological signs and symptoms commonly seen following mild traumatic brain injury, also referred to as concussion.1 Exposures continued with time and 8 additional individuals were identified who had similar findings. The US Department of State, Bureau of Medical Services, subsequently convened an expert panel in July 2017, which came to consensus that the triage findings were most likely related to neurotrauma from a nonnatural source and recommended that further investigation into this novel cluster of findings was necessary
