from Fast Facts on Tay Sachs · host Christopher Carney
In this episode, we discuss how Tay-Sachs was discovered as well as the connection between the Ashkenazi Jewish people in the discovery and treatment of the disease. The episode continues with a look at some of the older more common treatments, substrate reduction therapy and bone marrow transplantation, that are being researched and administered, and we go more in depth into a newer approach called Enzyme Replacement Therapy. Finally, we finish by connecting some of the symptoms of Tay-Sachs disease to our A&P unit and to how a Pediatric Nurse would administer care to a patient with this diagnosis.
