what is evanston syndrome ?

Evanston syndrome doesn't exist, as far as I know. I'm in Evanston, Illinois right now, if that tells you anything. It's home to Northwestern University, where I work and go to school. Since it's not a documented medical condition, it probably refers to some kind of frustration with either the school or the town. Being so close to Chicago, it's a pretty boring little town in comparison!

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you are referring to Asperger's Syndrome.  This is a neurological disorder that is sometimes compared to Autism.  There are many, many listings on the web.  O.A.S.I.S. [http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger] is a parents' resource group you might find helpful.  If Asperger's is the diagnosis you should find a copy of the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400032717/sr=8-1/qid=1143526150/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-2335561-3963025?%5Fencoding=UTF8].  It's a wonderful, clever story and the hero happens to be a boy with Asperger's Syndrome.  It presents a very human picture of the boy and his approach to everyday life.

Asperger syndrome, also called Asperger's syndrome, AS, or the more common shorthand Asperger's, is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders, and is commonly referred to as a form of high-functioning autism. In very broad terms, individuals with Asperger's have normal or above average intellectual capacity, with atypical or poorly developed social skills often with emotional/social development or integration happening later than usual as a result.\n\n \nAsperger described his patients as "little professors".The term "Asperger's syndrome" was coined by Lorna Wing in a 1981 medical paper. She named the syndrome after Hans Asperger, an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician who himself had used the term autistic psychopathy.\n\nFor a lot more, please check reference links

Sirenomelia is a rare congenital disorder can result in a child with legs fused together and the genitalia reduced. Because of the similarity to the legendary mermaids, it is called "mermaid syndrome" or "sirenomelia". This condition is about as rare as conjoined twins and is usually fatal within a day or two of birth because of kidney and bladder complications. There are two known survivors of this disorder alive today.

Here is some basic info. Follow the link to the Lowe Syndrome Association website for more info.\n\n\nLowe Syndrome (LS) is a rare genetic condition that causes physical and mental handicaps, and medical problems. It was first described in 1952 by Drs. Lowe, Terrey, and MacLachlan at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. \n\nThe condition became known as "Lowe syndrome" named after Dr. Charles Lowe, the senior member of the group that described it. Because of the three major organ systems involved (eyes, brain, and kidney), it is also known as OCRL (oculo-cerebro-renal) syndrome.\n\nBoys with Lowe Syndrome are born with cataracts in both eyes, which are usually removed at a few months of age. Most boys are fitted with glasses, contacts, or a combination of the two. Glaucoma is present in about 50% of the boys with Lowe syndrome, though usually not at birth. Prescription eye drop and/or surgery is required to maintain appropriate eye pressure in these cases.\n\nWhile not present at birth, many Lowe Syndrome boys develop kidney problems at approximately one year of age. This is characterized by the abnormal loss of certain substances into the urine, including bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, amino acids, organic acids, albumin and other small proteins, calcium, phosphate, glucose, and L-carnitine. This problem is known as Fanconi-type renal tubular dysfunction and can also be seen in certain other diseases and syndromes. In Lowe syndrome, the Fanconi syndrome may be mild and involve only a few substances or may be severe and involve large losses of many substances. Medications can be prescribed to replace the lost substances. \n\nThe Cause \nLowe syndrome is a hereditary condition that affects only males. It is caused by a single defective gene (an alteration or "mutation") in a gene called OCRL1. Because of this defective gene, an essential enzyme called PIP2-5-phosphatase is not produced. This is the underlying cause of Lowe syndrome. Much research has taken place in the last few years. The gene has been mapped and the defecient enzyme has been identified, although its role is not fully understood.

Did you mean Reye's syndrome?

yes, I heard of it.  Its an autoimmune disease.  Your skin begins to tighten on your hand and face I think.  It becomes hard to eat too, they have throat problems.  A lot of people that have it also have Raynaulds and have cold fingers and toes.  There are several blood test that a specialist can do to see if you have it.  So instead of worrying, get the blood test.

Hurler syndrome (MPS1) is an inherited and progressive disorder that results from the body's inability to make lysosomal alpha-L-iduronate, an enzyme that helps breakdown mucopolysaccharides. Mucopolysaccharides are made of a Jello-like material and are found throughout the body, often in mucus secretions and in fluids surrounding the joints.\n\nThe enzyme deficiency found in Hurler syndrome causes mucopolysaccharides to build up in the body.  The result is a multisystem disorder with symptoms that range from mild to severe. The disease damages many organs, including the heart.\n\nIn the past, MPS1 was called Hurler syndrome, Hurler-Scheie syndrome, or Scheie syndrome. Because there is no clear distinction between the groups, a classification based on disease severity has been suggested:\n\nHurler as severe MPS1 \nHurler-Scheie as intermediate MPS1 \nScheie as mild MPS1 \nHurler syndrome is inherited as an autosommal recessive trait. Approximately 1 in 115,000 individuals are affected.

From my limited knowledge of the two...I would say that K's syndrome is a naturally occuring degenerative proces...while the later is result of inducement of the state from actual surgical alteration of the brain.
