* Game 2, Round 4 - Geography - Wine Regions
Tonight's geography questions concern wine regions. We'll give you
the region, and in most cases the continent; you give us the country
where it's found, or if applicable, any one of the countries.
1. Prince Edward County (North America).
2. Stellenbosch (Africa).
3. Colchagua Valley (South America).
4. Tokaj (Europe).
5. Barossa Valley.
6. Mendoza (South America).
7. Thrace (Europe).
8. Jerez de la Frontera (Europe).
9. Marlborough.
10. Vinho Verde (Europe).
* Game 2, Round 6 - Science - Eponymous Ailments
3. A British doctor published his initial research on this
neurological disorder in 1817, under the title "An Essay of
the Shaking Palsy". It's caused by a shortage of dopamine --
a chemical that helps instructions from the brain cross from
one nerve cell to another. There is no cure, but treatment can
mitigate the symptoms, which can include unsteady hands or legs.
4. This neurodegenerative disease causes up to 70% of dementia
cases. A German doctor described the first case of the disease
named for him in 1906. Symptoms can include disorientation,
mood swings, and behavioral issues. The cause remains mostly
unknown, and there is no cure.
10. A French neurologist first described the syndrome that bears his
name in 1884. He referred to the condition as "maladie des
tics." A problem with the nervous system causes people to make
sudden and uncontrollable movements or sounds -- called tics.
There's no cure, and no single most effective medication --
but it does not affect intelligence or life expectancy.

2. This is a cancer of the lymphatic system which generally
develops in the lymph glands or nodes. It's named for a British
pathologist who published his first findings on the disease
in 1832. If detected early, a cure is often possible.

4. This neurodegenerative disease causes up to 70% of dementia
cases. A German doctor described the first case of the disease
named for him in 1906. Symptoms can include disorientation,
mood swings, and behavioral issues. The cause remains mostly
unknown, and there is no cure.
5. This is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of a third copy
of chromosome 21. It's associated with delays in physical
growth, characteristic facial features, and some intellectual
disability. It's named for the British doctor who first
described the syndrome in 1866, but the genetic cause wasn't
discovered until 1957.
6. This inflammatory bowel disease affects parts of the digestive
system. Symptoms include stomach cramps and diarrhea, often
causing weight loss. The cause is not known, but it can run in
families. The disease is named for one of the three American
doctors who published the first research on the condition
in 1932.
7. This is the most common cause of a temporary paralysis on one
side of the face. The cause is unknown, but unlike the case of
Jean Chr?tien, the condition usually goes away on its own with no
lasting effects. Descriptions of facial paralysis go back more
than 1,000 years. But this condition is named for the Scottish
surgeon who connected the facial nerve to the condition in 1821.
8. Among his many health issues, John F. Kennedy suffered from
this disease, which involves inadequate production of two
steroid hormones. Symptoms include stomach or back problems
and darkening of the skin, but it's treatable with lifelong
steroid doses. The disease is named for a Scottish doctor who
first described it in 1855.
9. This rare disorder sees the body's immune system damage nerves.
Usually triggered by an infection, it often starts with muscle
weakness in the feet and hands. It often spreads to the upper
body and leads to breathing problems. The recovery period ranges
from weeks to years. The disorder was named for two French
neurologists who, with a colleague, described the condition
in 1916.
10. A French neurologist first described the syndrome that bears his

Tonight's science round concerns ailments -- diseases, syndromes
and disorders -- named after the doctors who first identified them.
From the description, give the name of the ailment. In all cases,
the doctor's surname is enough.
1. This rare, incurable disease causes nerve cells in the brain
to decay. Often inherited from a parent, it affects a person's
movements, thinking ability and mental health. Named for an
American doctor who reported his findings in 1872, its victims
included folk singer Woody Guthrie.
