Many would prefer to quietly die in a dream, without agonies and hospitals, not wanting to part with life with the thought of approaching the end. However, the syndrome of sudden night death - this is not what you "dream". The disease "mows" young men, mostly living or originating from the countries of South-East Asia.
Picture disease
Actually, this is not necessarily the night death . The patient may die in the presence of witnesses or simply during rest. The key word here is "sudden."
In the syndrome of sudden death, the deceased did not experience any complaints, somatic symptoms, or deterioration of health. Moreover, the majority did not suffer from obesity , serious illnesses, smoking, or pilots.
At the dissection, there was no rupture of the coronary arteries and lesions of the heart muscle. That is why the syndrome of sudden unexplained death is an indescribable shock for relatives.
Who is sick?
In the 80s, the syndrome of sudden death of an adult was discovered by Americans, when statistics showed that there are 25 similar unexplained cases per 100,000 people, with the participation of Asians.
But in the Philippines and Japan, the disease was described much earlier in the early 20th century, calling it bungunute and smoke, respectively.
If death occurs in a dream, a person starts to snore, to gasp, to moan for no reason. Agony lasts several minutes, it's impossible to wake a person.
The lion's share of deaths are men aged 20 to 49 years. Death predominantly
If death came in reality, with witnesses, the same picture of inexplicable agony as in a dream was observed. The syndrome of sudden death in a dream is recorded in the Far East (4 cases per 10,000), in Laos (1 per 10,000), Thailand (38 per 100,000) and has never been observed in African-Americans.
Cause
To identify the cause and the marker of the disease, which could be prevented, the work of scientists around the world is boiling. The only thing that has been found out at the moment is that death does not arise from one particular disease, but from a combination of several ailments.
Thus, the relatives of the deceased are 40% likely to die in the same way. This gives reason for doctors to talk about a genetic defect and the gene may already be found. Scientists have found a common, afflicted gene in the third chromosome, and this may indicate that soon the world encyclopaedia of diseases will be replenished with yet another genetic disorder.
