when brain imaging revealed swelling, she was referred to Johns Hopkins. After a comprehensive evaluation there showed that she had a condition called adult hydroceph-alus—also known as water on the brain—a shunt was surgically placed to drain off excess cerebral spinal fluid. As a result, the woman’s walking improved, her cognitive scores jumped, and before long she was back in the classroom again.

Treating hydrocephalus is especially gratifying, says Johns Hopkins neurologist David Solomon, because it’s one of the few instances in which dementia can actually be reversed. But the devil is in the diagnosis.

Gait problems and dementia are two of the three primary symptoms (the third is

incontinence), so it is very important to be able to distinguish the characteristics of hy-drocephalus from the more common disor-ders it mimics, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

With both hydrocephalus and Parkinson’s, for example, people tend to shuffle. Strides are small, and the heel doesn’t clear the toe.

“But only people with hydrocephalus walk with feet splayed outward and with an arm swing,” Solomon says. “That type of gait disturbance is an early symptom, and if it shows up, don’t wait for the other two symptoms to follow.”

The reason? Studies have shown that timely treatment can make all the differ-ence. “At a certain point, some irreversible changes occur,” says Johns Hopkins neuro-surgeon Daniele Rigamonti. “If symptoms started more than five years ago, chances are you may recover only 50 to 60 percent with treatment. But if symptoms are of a shorter duration, getting treatment can mean that recovery is likely to be almost complete.

“Fortunately,” he adds, “we bring to the table a deep understanding of the symp-toms, of the differential diagnosis, and of the most effective way to determine who will benefit from treatment.”

An energetic octogenarian in Philadelphia returned to college to earn the degree that had eluded her earlier in life. Soon, though, she started having problems with balance and resorted to walking with a cane. Then mild dementia set in, making it impossible for her to keep up in class.

“ That type of gait disturbance is an early symptom, and if it shows up, don’t wait for the other two symptoms to follow.” –David Solomon

publisher’s letterBY BERNARD McCORMICK

Generations of History

T his month’s special Fort Lauderdale Centennial feature started out as

a salute to a few pioneer families, businesses and institutions. Then

it spun out of control. Representatives of old families quickly men-

tioned other old families. And then we thought about the people who pio-

neered for the pioneers – namely, the Seminoles.

So we came up with ground rules. There were hundreds of families who arrived in the 15 years after Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway brought in its first trains in 1896, and the time Fort Lauderdale was officially incorporated in 1911. We couldn’t pos-sibly trace them all, so we decided to identify a num-ber of families who made important contributions to the city in its early days and are still widely recog-nized today. These usually involved at least four gen-erations, in some cases five, representing decades of contributions in the essential professions and services which constitute a community.

In the case of Fort Lauderdale’s first family, in a quite literal sense, attorney Reed Bryan, who is at least the fourth in his family to wear that name, provided us with a detailed history of his clan. We did not have room in the main feature, but Reed noted that his ancestor and Confederate Civil War veteran, Phile-mon Bryan, told people that none of his Florida unit owned slaves or fought to preserve slavery. He said that he, and many of his comrades, actually admired Abraham Lincoln.

We obviously missed a few families who deserve to have been included. Fortunately, most of them have been recognized over the years with streets, buildings, schools or bridges named in their memory. Griffin, Pe-ters and Ely are examples. Also Root Awonay. That’s sometimes spelled Route A1A. Little levity there. No point getting too serious about a place that’s only 100 years old.

This presentation is sched-uled to appear at the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society’s annual Friendship Luncheon on April 29. The honorees this year are the four former mayors of Fort Lauderdale (with current mayor, Jack Seiler, as the keynote speaker), and we have included some thoughts from each on their term as mayor.

Fittingly, the Historical Society was an important source of information for this issue. We are indebted to Bill and Claire Crawford for providing a copy of The Businesses That Built Fort Lauderdale booklet (published in 2005), which saved a lot of legwork on an important subject. While most of the families we mention were here before 1930, we gave businesses a decade longer to establish their claim. Ironically, there are a number of once prominent enterprises, particularly law firms, which organized in the 1920s and missed the cut only because they were dissolved in recent years.

Other than history, this is an especially busy is-sue. Managing Editor Nila Do celebrates St. Patrick’s Day a few months late and also writes about a most unusual tennis player (page 40). It is also our popular Top Docs Issue. If any of those outstanding doctors are still practicing 100 years from now, you will be the first to know.

1. Low humidity levels. The human body usually prefers for humidity lev-els to be at about 50 percent. On an airplane, the humidity level is closer to 10 percent – about as humid as a desert, Moraes says, which can cause dehydration. Quick fix: Drink fluids and minimize intake of coffee, teas and alcohol.

2. Immobility. Sitting in a cramped seat for hours on end can wreak hav-oc on the body, causing legs and feet to swell. Those who are pregnant, on birth control, or have a history of cancer are at risk for blood clots.Quick fix: If prone to swelling, wear tight support stockings that will make it easier for fluid to drain. If prone to blood clots, talk to a doctor about perhaps taking a baby aspirin before the flight, Moraes says. Also, get up and walk around the plane once every hour.

3. Changing altitude. The quick changes in altitude and air pressure, particularly at takeoff and landing, can cause discomfort and a popping sensation in the ears. For some, it can

even cause severe ear pain or ruptur-ing of the eardrums.Quick fix: Chewing gum and yawn-ing will open the ear’s Eustachian tubes, equalizing ear pressure and help reduce the popping sensation you feel.

4. Time zones and circadian rhythm. It’s easier on the body to fly east to west than west to east because the body deals with longer days bet-ter than shorter ones, Moraes says. Effects of jet lag can vary depending on the person. Some people have no trouble with it while others are af-fected for days. Quick fix: Sleep on the plane instead of watching a movie, he suggests.

5. Low oxygen content. The oxygen content is lower in an airplane than on the ground. People with anemia or heart disease may feel chest pain or develop a mild form of altitude sickness, which can cause short-ness of breath, nausea, fatigue and headaches.Quick fix: Ask the flight attendant to increase the airflow in the cabin.

Flight Risks5 ways flight conditions affect the body, plus quick fixes

Before we begin our summer travels, West Boca Medical Center internist Dr. Brian Moraes educates us about what the changed atmosphere on an airplane does to our bodies.

Saving it for LaterThe do’s and don’ts of keeping leftovers

In the U.S., 76 million people get a food-borne illness every year and of those, 5,000 die, Cleveland Clinic registered dietician Lil-lian Craggs-Dino says. She shares her tips on stopping food poisoning.

DON’T leave food at room temperature for longer than one hour in Florida. If going out for a long night with friends, keep a cooler in the car to store leftovers properly.

DO keep refrigerator temperature lower than 40 F and freezer temperature lower than 0 F.

DON’T cross contaminate. Separate types of food and never mix raw food – even sushi – with cooked food.

DO wash hands and utensils prior to han-dling any food. Even leftover produce should always be rinsed.

DON’T ever transport food (even groceries) in your trunk. Keep it in the air-conditioned car.

DO use a thermometer to check that food has been heated to the proper temperature to kill all bacteria, instead of judging by the changed color of the food as it cooks. Steak and fish should be heated to 145 F, pork, ground beef and eggs to 160 F, and poultry to 165 F.

DON’T keep leftovers longer than three to four days, maximum. This includes meat, poultry, dairy, bread, pasta, rice and pizza. Ex-ceptions include produce (like a salad without dressing) or non-dairy desserts like cake or cookies, which can be kept up to five days.

DO freeze leftovers if you don’t plan to eat them immediately. At that point they can be stored for six to 12 months. Be sure to store in an airtight container specifically meant for the freezer.

Beginning at the BaseCelebrity makeup artist Sue Devitt shares her beauty secrets.

It just hit Sue Devitt like a ton of bricks. As the beauty expert and Australian

bombshell began her makeup line, she realized she needed to start at the base: the skin. “I realized most of my clients were using heavy European creams that ruined their skin,” she said at a recent appearance at Bloomingdale’s at Town Center at Boca Raton.

Today, Devitt’s Microquatic Luxury Skin Care line blends anti-aging ingredients with calming marine extracts.

Microquatic Oxygen Infusion Masque; $40>> Self-foaming cleanser releases oxygen molecules into the pores while removing impurities.

Microquatic Blue Anti-Aging SPF 30 Protection Primer; $48>> Soothing blue algae extract fights off redness, and ingredients like Ceramide 2 and Matrixyl stimulate collagen production.2

The five brushes in her set are long-bodied and thick, giving more control. She recommends washing them in warm water, massaging out the makeup, and then drying them by laying them on a towel.

From $28 to $50; available at Bloom-ingdale’s at Town Center at Boca Raton; www.suedevittbeauty.com.

By JENNIFER TORMO PHOTOGRAPHy COURTESy Of TORY BURCH

Burch’s Tree

Tory Burch couldn’t have known when she named the Reva ballet flat after her moth-er the places it would go – that Oprah Winfrey would end up wearing it, or that

it would become one of the most coveted fash-ion pieces of the last decade.

Burch, who is superstitious, doesn’t think it’s a coincidence that the flat named after her mother happened to become such a hit. It’s fit-ting – Reva Robinson was the one who helped her tomboy daughter channel her inner fash-ionista.

As a child growing up in her Valley Forge, Pa., farmhouse with three brothers, Burch was more interested in tennis and horseback riding than in playing dress-up. Her love for clothing was not inborn but cultivated; it was something she absorbed through the years as she watched her stylish socialite parents dress for social events. For Burch’s prom, her mother bought her a mauve and black Yves Saint Laurent dress covered in sequins. It was around this time that she became interested in fashion and began to put more effort into what she wore.

As an adult, she worked for several years on the public relations side of the fashion indus-try before starting her own company in 2004. Her first collection was inspired by a polyester printed tunic she found at a Paris flea market for $6. Like the classic Chanel double-C logo, part of the Tory Burch brand’s quick recognizability was thanks to its iconic logo. Burch chose the emblem, which features two T’s encased in a cir-cle, from a selection of 200 designs. The design appealed to her in that it looked part mythical, part Asian and part inspired by British interior

Even poet Robert Frost could not have imagined a life more symbolic than that of fashion designer Tory Burch.

designer David Hicks, who was known for his bold colors. “That was the first and only one I ever went to,” she says of the logo. “It was a very emotional connection as soon as I saw it.”

Overnight success is uncommon in the fashion industry; it is a phenomenon more reserved for rare creative genius. Sportswear great Ralph Lauren opened his first boutique shop in Blooming-dale’s in 1969, about two years after the Polo by Ralph Lauren launch. Calvin Klein entered the public spotlight even faster – he founded his company in 1968 and the next year appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine. In 1986, Marc Jacobs designed his first collection bearing his own name. The following year, at 24 years old, he became the youngest person ever awarded The Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Perry Ellis Award for New Fash-ion Talent.

Admittedly, times have changed. But consider what the 44-year-old Burch has accomplished in a little more than six years.

In 2004, she opened her flagship boutique in NoLita, N.Y., and launched wholesale with Bergdorf Goodman and Scoop.

gulfstreammediagroup.com M AY 2011 23

The boutique was an in-stant hit. Fashion editors and socialites flocked to the store, and by the end of its opening day, the shelves had cleared. Almost all the inventory sold immediately. The buzz continued when Burch appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2005. The day after her ap-pearance, ToryBurch.com received 8 million hits. In 2006, she released the icon-ic Reva ballerina flat. In 2008, the brand went glob-al, opening a showroom in Milan only four-and-a-half years after its launch.

Next on the agenda for the brand is a swimwear line, followed eventually by a small home group. Burch’s boutiques are known for feeling more like homes than stores, so the expan-sion into home goods is not a surprise. It is still in the early plan-ning stages, but she hopes to include small furniture and tabletop settings (placemats, napkins, tablecloths) in the line.

Through the whirlwind of success, Burch has held tightly onto her values. Family always comes first. The success of her brand would be meaningless if it prevented her from being a good mother to her three rowdy, healthy sons. The New York City mother is al-ways there when Sawyer, Nicholas and Henry need her, whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or a lacrosse game. She takes her sons to school every morning and is home by 6:30 p.m. every night to eat dinner with them.

She admits balancing the different aspects of her life is a chal-lenge. “It’s something that I work hard at every day. It’s not some-thing that just is easy,” she says. The ability to provide for one’s chil-

dren is a cause close to Burch’s heart. In 2009, she launched her own non-profit, The Tory Burch Foundation, an orga-nization dedicated to provid-ing economic empowerment for women, providing them access to financial tools and assistance.

Maybe it’s all the time she spends with her sons, but Burch still considers herself a tomboy. Only now it works in her favor. Her tomboy roots are what make her so comfort-able designing sportswear, she says; she is her own customer.

As for her mother, Reva often jokes she is known as a shoe. But Burch has a differ-ent perception of her: She is the company’s good-luck charm.

Tory’s favorites

Favorite celebrity who has worn one of your styles: Cate Blanchett.Favorite South Florida spot: The Church Mouse, for vintage finds.Favorite Twitter page: I like news, so CNN. That’s instant.Favorite thing in your closet: A YSL tuxedo jacket. Old. Vintage. It’s black.Favorite thing to do when not designing: Definitely hanging with my boys, playing tennis or watching them play basketball.Favorite beauty product: By Terry lip balm.

Florida on Tory’s Mind: The state has six Tory Burch boutiques – the same amount as New York. Half of the Florida stores are located in South Florida, and the brand plans to open a seventh Florida store in Boca Raton later this year. Burch always takes her Southern stores into account when considering weights of fabrics and colors best for a warm climate.

Where to buy: Tory Burch boutiques in Palm Beach (561.833.4474), Bal Harbour (305.867.7469) and at Town Center at Boca Raton, opening in August 2011

Price range: $200 to $700

myth #1: you lose the most heat from your head when exposing it.

“It doesn’t matter what part of the body or what surface is exposed in inclement weather,” says Arnold Simon, M.D., internist at JFK Medical Center. “It has to do with the direct proportion and direct relationship to the amount of skin exposure.” Covering every area of the body is the best, but leaving the hat at home will do no extra harm. “If a large skin surface is exposed, it will lose the most heat. If a large area is protected, it won’t lose heat.” Simon’s advice? “If it’s cold, cover up.” – Francesca Piancone

Myth #2: swallowing chewing gum takes seven years to pass through your system.

“Gum is mixed with acids and goes through the GI tract with enzymes to break down many sub-stances. It goes through as unab-sorbed fiber, but the sugars will be absorbed,” says Sidney Neimark, M.D., internist and gastroenterolo-gist at Good Samaritan Medical Center. There is nothing alarming about swallowing gum since it will flow through as an indigestible fiber, but Neimark is not an ad-vocator. “There are no beneficial nutrients…There are no calories and no real reason to swallow.” As Neimark puts its, “It comes out the way it went in.” – F.

2 0 1 1 T O P D O C S:Myth #3: Feed a cold, and starve a fever.

“This is definitely not true. First, there is no medical illness for starva-tion to be a treatment, and second, fevers need hydration,” says David Bloom, M.D., internist at Delray Medical Center. “As far as a cold goes, mother was right, you rest a few days and it will go away.” Bloom believes there is no medical accuracy to that myth, rather people thought they were helping by giving advice. “Starv-ing is always dangerous, you always have to remain flourished; and overeating shuts the metabolism down.” Bloom’s advice on accurately curing a cold? “Sleep, relax and hydrate.” A fever? “Determine what it is from… Take Tylenol or ibuprofen. If the symptoms do not go away, contact your primary care physician.” – F. P.

Myth #4: cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis later in life.

“This is not true. Studies have compared patients who crack their knuckles for an X amount of years in adults and children with the uncrackers, and there is no evidence and no association with arthritis,” says Gary Schwartz, M.D., orthopedic hand surgeon at Memorial Healthcare System. “There is no risk factor for the total duration and total amount of exposure,” Schwartz says, refer-ring to the frequency of cracks. The cracking sound actually is nitrogen and carbon dioxide forming bubbles in your joints when bending or hyperextending, causing the bubbles to collapse and create a noise. This is just like any other habit, and “it’s hard to crack,” Schwartz jokes. – F. P.

Myth #5: turkey makes you sleepy because it contains tryptophan.

For years, people have believed their exhaustion after devouring a Thanksgiving feast was due to the fact that turkey contains tryptophan, an amino acid known for making you tired. Here’s the misconception: turkey does in fact contain tryptophan, but not enough to get through the brain’s protective barrier. You are really feeling tired because you are eating turkey with carbohydrates, which produce insulin that reduce lev-els of competing amino acids. “The carbohydrates push the tryptophan through the barrier,” Delray Medical Center dietician Marci Sloane says. “The protein isn’t successful in making you sleepy alone.” – Alyssa Fisher

Myth #6: you must wait 30 minutes after eating before swimming.

Pediatrician Paul Christokis, M.D., assures even though you may feel slight discomfort swimming after eating a large meal, there is no medical reason to wait the suggested 30 minutes. When-ever your stomach fills with food, muscles in your stomach contract and require large amounts of blood for proper functioning. “The whole idea that the blood going to your digestive tract after eating steals the blood needed to circulate your body doesn’t happen,” says Christokis of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “Just because you eat doesn’t mean that your blood is deflected from your muscles.” – A.F.
