Neurology
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement, characterized by tremors, bradykinesia, and rigidity. Other movement disorders encompass a range of conditions, such as essential tremor and dystonia, involving abnormal movements. These disorders result from dysfunction in the brain's motor control centers, impacting a person's ability to control their movements. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgical interventions like deep brain stimulation.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the body. Symptoms vary widely and may include fatigue, numbness, and difficulty walking. MS is unpredictable, with periods of relapse and remission. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, slowing progression, and modifying the immune response. Medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes play crucial roles in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with MS.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder leading to memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. It is the most common cause of dementia. The disease involves the accumulation of abnormal protein plaques in the brain, impacting neuronal function. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, and treatments primarily aim to alleviate symptoms. Early diagnosis is challenging, but research explores potential preventive measures and more effective interventions. Supportive care, medication, and lifestyle adjustments are vital in managing Alzheimer's disease.
