In the US, lives year-old boy who feels no pain
Isaac Brown does not even understand that it takoe
Until the 1980s, surgeons operated on young children, did not use anesthesia, because they were sure that babies do not able to feel pain. Fortunately, this monstrous fallacy is in the past, but there are children who do not really know what it's like pain, so if they have to go under the scalpel, they may well do without anesthesia.
Isaac Brown of the US state of Iowa is suffering from a rare genetic disease - it does not feel pain, and if the parents of other children learn about the cuts, falls and injuries of their offspring by loud screams, the family of Isaac have to closely monitor the playing son, since it can even I did not notice that was injured.
The boy was born with congenital insensitivity to pain and, according to parents, at first it was very hard - the kid just does not understand what is "painful" for example, he bravely clutching pieces of broken glass, without feeling like they are dig into the skin, and one day, driven by curiosity, trying to touch the flame of a gas stove that turned severe burns palm.
Of course, when Mr. and Mrs. Brown discovered a feature of the son, they turned to the doctors, but they could not help them - medicine does not know how to teach the boy to feel the pain, because this disease - one of the rarest in the world and is poorly understood. Parents had just explained to Isaac that when he bleeds, he must immediately notify them.
According to the mother of the baby, with injuries he feels some sensation, but they are ten times weaker than that of ordinary people. When Isaac has managed to break the hipbone, he just thought that with his leg that something is wrong, since he can not walk, but no pain when it was not.
Also insensitivity to pain, a medical examination revealed the presence of anhidrosis boy - his body can not regulate its temperature, so, for example, in the heat, he is forced to wear a cooling vest, so as not to overheat.
Now experts at the Mayo Clinic scrutinize Isaac DNA samples to find genetic defect - in the future it will help to develop a methodology for the treatment of disease.
