Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.

Arthrogryposis–Renal Dysfunction–Cholestasis Syndrome (ARC Syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body. Characterized by joint contractures, kidney problems, and liver issues, this condition presents significant challenges for those diagnosed. Caused by mutations in the VPS33B or VIPAR genes, ARC Syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Symptoms often appear at birth or in early infancy, making early diagnosis crucial for managing the condition. Treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life, as there is currently no cure. Understanding ARC Syndrome can help families and healthcare providers better support affected individuals.

20 Facts About Arthrogryposis–Renal Dysfunction–Cholestasis Syndrome

“Errors in diagnosis are relatively common among older people. The reasons are many: older adults may have multiple conditions, take many medications, and illnesses can look very different in older people than they do in younger ones,” Ashley Milne-Tyte writes over at NPR. “Older adults may show different symptoms or none at all. And sometimes health care workers assume that whatever is bothering the patient is ‘because of your age.’ All this can lead to older patients being either under-treated or over-treated. Sometimes there are even worse outcomes. According to a recent study by researchers from Johns Hopkins University, almost 800,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled each year because of diagnostic errors. But as the population of older adults expands rapidly, more attention is being paid to how to successfully treat them. At Glen Cove Hospital on Long Island, a third of the people who arrive in the ER are over the age of 65. this emergency department is specially designed to accommodate older adults. Since late 2021, it has been accredited as a geriatric emergency department by the American College of Emergency Physicians. It’s one of more than 500 hospitals around the country that now has this designation. What that means in practice is that you’ll find plenty of subtle enhancements for safety and comfort that you wouldn’t find in a regular ER.” Ashley Milne-Tyte, “Older adults are often misdiagnosed. Specialized ERs and trained clinicians can help,” NPR.
