The motion prevailed.
Reps. Bolger, Lisa Brown, Terry Brown, Caul, Constan, Daley, Denby, Hansen, Kowall, LeBlanc, Liss, Neumann, Polidori, Rogers, Wayne Schmidt, Slavens, Smith, Tyler and Valentine offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 327.
A resolution to declare December 4th, 2010, as Pallister-Killian Syndrome Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Pallister-Killian Syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disorder resulting from the double duplication of the short arm of chromosome 12, causing children to suffer low muscle tone, seizures, global developmental delays, hearing and vision loss among other conditions; and
Whereas, Pallister-Killian Syndrome happens randomly at conception and for no known reason. It is thought that there are under 200 diagnosed cases of PKS in the world, however many doctors believe that the incidence of PKS is much higher, possibly as many as 2,000 cases exist in the United States alone. Improper testing methods and lack of awareness of this condition are the main causes of these undiagnosed cases; and
Whereas, It is the goal of this resolution to promote research, education, and raise awareness within the medical community to ensure early diagnoses of children with Pallister-Killian Syndrome; and
Whereas, Increased awareness of this condition will help families and caregivers of children with PKS acquire the resources and support they need to manage this disorder; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 4th, 2010, as Pallister-Killian Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Segal, Bolger, Lisa Brown, Terry Brown, Caul, Constan, Denby, Gonzales, Hansen, Kowall, LeBlanc, Liss, Neumann, Polidori, Roberts, Rogers, Wayne Schmidt, Slavens, Smith, Tyler and Valentine offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 328.
A resolution to declare October 15, 2010, as Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Awareness and Action Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, In the United States, it is estimated that 23.6 million people or 7.8 percent of the total population are affected by diabetes; and
Whereas, The American Diabetes Association estimates that more than half of all people with diabetes sufferer from diabetic peripheral neuropathy; and
Whereas, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a serious condition that damages nerve fibers due to prolonged exposure to high amounts of glucose in the bloodstream; and
Whereas, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy often causes intense pain, frequently described as arching, tingling, and numbness of the feet, which often results in serious foot problems due to nerve damage; and
Whereas, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, although it can be painful, diabetic nerve damage can also lessen the ability to feel pain, heat, and cold, which means that diabetic patients may not feel a foot injury or even a stone in their shoe or a nail in their foot; and
Whereas, The rate of amputations in people with diabetes is ten times higher than for people without diabetes. Studies show that more than 60 percent of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations are due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy; and
Whereas, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can occur whether a person has type I diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, or type II diabetes, which is typically adult-onset; and
Whereas, This diabetic condition accounts for more diabetes-related hospitalizations than any other complication; and
Whereas, It is important that individuals with diabetes be aware of the dangers and warning signs of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and make health lifestyle choices to prevent the onset of this life-changing condition; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 15, 2010, as Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Awareness and Action Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
