P. BRADFIELD, JR., BRINGS SORROW POPULAR YOUNG MAN OF GLASS AND FAIRFAX DIES SUDDENLY FROM TETAUNS POISONING. The death on last Friday of F. P. Branfield, Jr., at his home in Glass, Ala., coming suddenly after the young man had been stricken with tetanus poisoning, came as a shock among a wide circle of friends who, many of them, knew nothing of his condition until death had claimed him. Mr. Bradfield had injured his hand very slightly several days before being stricken, but thought nothing of it until about 48 hours before his death, when inflamation set up and it was found to be too late to save his life. He was 28 years-of-age, a member of the board of deacons of the Missionary Baptist church and he was an upright Christian gentleman who lived a clean, wholesome, useful life. In 1926 he married Miss Ruth Still of Fairfax. Surviving Mr. Bradfield, besides his wife, are his parents Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Bradfield, Sr.; five brothers, Messrs. W. W. of Fairfax; A. F. of West Point; C. G., of Columbia, S. C.; J. P. of Columbus, Ga.; T. T. of Wadley, Georgia, and four sisters, Mrs. J. M. Lamb and Mrs. W. H. Burdette, of Fairfax; Mrs. L. V.

Affected individuals are at risk for arterial rupture, aneurysm, and/or dissection; gastrointestinal perforation or rupture; and uterine rupture during pregnancy. One fourth of individuals with EDS, vascular type, experience a significant medical problem by age 20 years and more than 80% by age 40 years. The median age of death is 48 years. ( my family experienced death at 46 and 36 years of age..with one at misscarriage) > > The presence of one or more minor criteria contribute to the diagnosis of the vascular type of EDS but are not sufficient to establish the diagnosis. > > Major diagnostic criteria for the vascular type of EDS include: > a.. Arterial rupture > b.. Intestinal rupture > c.. Uterine rupture during pregnancy > d.. Family History of the above > Minor diagnostic criteria for the vascular type of EDS include: > > a.. Thin, translucent skin (especially noticeable on the chest/abdomen) In fair skin its more noticeable - in darker complexion (brunettes) its not as easily seen. > b.. Easy bruising (spontaneous-meaning for no reason- or with minimal trauma- such as catching keys thrown at you or using the broom or writing with a pencil) > c.. Characteristic facial appearance (thin lips and philtrum, small chin, thin nose, large eyes) > d.. Acrogeria (an aged appearance to the extremities, particularly the hands) > e.. Hypermobility of small joints - fingers and toes as far as I have seen. > f.. Tendon/muscle rupture > g.. Early-onset varicose veins > h.. Arteriovenous carotid-cavernous sinus fistula > i.. Pneumothorax/pneumohemothorax > j.. Chronic joint subluxations/dislocations > k.. Present at birth dislocation of the hips > l.. Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) > m.. Gingival recession at an early age > The only thing out of the normal (compared to the general population) my family had at the time of my dad's birth was the clubfoot, which occurs in only 12% of those tested to have EDS IV. We did have large eyes, but so does a lot of people that dont have a diagnosis of EDS, yet. Every few years the numbers of those determined to have EDS increases so its gaining in awareness in the medical field but only when a problem presents. > > The reason for my post is that my family experienced death twice because of the lack of diagnosis and therefore lack of proper care in the fragile tissues. Grandmother died of aortic aneursym and dad died of massive bleeding in the abdomen...both were spontaneous bleeds and both died suddenly and at young ages. I was 4 when grandmother died and 15 when dad died. I hear so many other families that have the same "out of the blue" sudden deaths at early ages...some were even babies and children. Most of us that experienced this have a goal for more awareness. We looked back and saw other symptoms, other relatives that passed away early and still feel the extreme shock and reprecusions of their early passings years after their deaths. We have all for the past 10 years been asking our doctors what they know of EDS, most say they vaguely remember going over this in med school. However recently I have been told by my new vascular specialist that they have treated EDS before.! > ..so the news is getting better, but the need for personal awareness and direction is still needed for emergency and primary care professionals. > > There is no cure, however there are precautions that one must take to prevent an early death.
