👉Neurodegenerative diseases are disorders that affect the nervous system and cause progressive degeneration of nerve cells. This results in decreased brain function and can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the type of disease. Some of the most common neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Huntington's disease. Ataxias as well. These diseases often have a significant impact on the lives of those affected, as well as their families and caregivers. Symptoms can vary widely, but typically include memory problems, difficulty moving or speaking, changes in mood and personality, as well as difficulties with activities of daily living. Medical and scientific research is critical to better understand these diseases and find ways to prevent, treat and ultimately find a cure. Scientists are working hard to discover the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and develop more effective therapies. In addition to research, it is important to emphasize the importance of emotional and practical support for people living with neurodegenerative diseases. This involves providing them with a safe and supportive environment, as well as offering resources and services to help them cope with daily challenges. In terms of prevention, adopting a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on brain health. Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, maintaining social relationships and stimulating the mind with intellectual activities are some of the steps that can be taken to promote a healthy brain.👈 🤓🙌🧡 #ataxias #ataxiadefriedreich #ataxiacerebellar #ataxiatelangiectasia #ataxiaspinocerebellar #disability #epof #ministryofhealth #hazquesuceda #foundation #patients #rarediseases #argentina #tucuman #ataxia #ataxiaawareness #neurodegenerativediseases #parkinsonsawareness #alzheimer #ela #huntington'sdisease

Dysautonomia encompasses a group of disorders characterized by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Your ANS is a subdivision of your nervous system and is considered “self-governing” since it is responsible for all the bodily functions you don’t think about including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature control. There are various types of dysautonomia, each with its own specific symptoms, underlying causes, and effects on the body. The problem with dysautonomia is that there is no single cause of this condition and it can be difficult to even diagnose due to the fact that its symptoms often overlap with, and look similar to other chronic health problems. But with that said, there are several factors that can contribute to the development and perpetuation of dysautonomia, including: Genetics Underlying health problems Physical trauma or injuries Infections Environmental factors Depending on the cause, you can be diagnosed with either primary or secondary dysautonomia.

Let’s Talk About #Obesity And… #Insulin #Multimorbidities! 🌍🔍 Did you know? #WorldObesityDay is here! Check out these key facts about obesity worldwide and its projected increase in the coming years. 📈 Dysregulation of insulin signaling has been implicated in multimorbidity across the lifespan. It affects somatic diseases including type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and #obesity. New research shows that altered insulin signaling also affects brain-based diseases. This includes neurodegenerative brain disorders (dementia and Alzheimer’s disease) and compulsivity-linked neurodevelopmental disorders (obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorders). In PRIME, we posit that insulin-related disease has widespread effects on other, comorbid somatic and mental diseases throughout an individual’s lifetime. Thus, the identification of insulin-related comorbidity early in life may have important implications for monitoring and treatment decisions both early and later in life.

Parkinsons disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that predominantly impacts movement and afflicts millions of people worldwide. It occurs when there is a loss of a certain chemical in the brain. The exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is not fully understood, but a combination of genetic and environmental factors is believed to play a role. Usually, symptoms appear over time. While there is currently no cure for Parkinsons, there are treatments available such a medications, physical therapy and deep brain stimulation which can help manage the symptoms. #ParkinsonsDisease #TheMoreYouKnow #Educational #Neurodegenerative #WECANHELP #AlwaysBestCare #SeniorCare #SeniorServices #ElderlyCare #KnowTheSymptoms

Wilson’s disease is a genetic disorder which predominantly affects liver, basal ganglia of the brain and eyes due to its characteristic element of copper accumulation in the body, arising from impaired copper breakdown. ✅ Wilson’s disease symptoms Wilson's disease could manifest as an asymptomatic state which can be detected only through genetic analysis. In case of symptomatic state of Wilson's disease, the common symptoms include: ▶️ Hepatic symptoms 🔸 Jaundice 🔸 Anorexia 🔸 Nausea and vomiting 🔸 Liver pain ▶️ Neurological sign and symptoms of Wilson’s disease 🔸 Dysarthria 🔸 Dystonia 🔸 Tremors 🔸 Ataxia ▶️ Mental health symptoms 🔸 Irritability 🔸 Aggression 🔸 Antisocial behaviour 🔸 Anxiety ▶️ Ocular symptoms 🔸 Sunflower cataract 🔸 Kayser-Fleischer rings ✅ Complications of Wilson’s disease Wilson’s disease, if left untreated it produces life threatening complications such as: 🔸 Liver cirrhosis 🔸 Hepatocellular carcinoma 🔸 Kidney damage 🔸 Encephalopathy 🔸 Variceal bleeding 🔸 Hepatorenal syndrome 🔸 Neuropsychiatric manifestations Know more: https://lnkd.in/gZ-dnYGf #wilsondisease #wilsondiseaseawareness #wilsondiseasecauses #wilsondiseasesymptoms #wilsondiseaseriskfactors #wilsondiseasecomplications #wilsondiseasetreatment #wilsondiseaseprevention #liverdisease #livercondition #geneticdisorder #health #pacehospitals #hyerabad #india

ALZHEIMER DISEASE Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and progressively worsens and is the cause of 60–70% of cases of dementia. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events.As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, self-neglect, and behavioral issues.As a person's condition declines, they often withdraw from family and society. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death. Although the speed of progression can vary, the typical life expectancy following diagnosis is three to nine years. The cause of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood. There are many environmental and genetic risk factors associated with its development. The strongest genetic risk factor is from an allele of apolipoprotein E. Other risk factors include a history of head injury, clinical depression, and high blood pressure.The progress of the protein misfolding disease is largely associated with amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and loss of neuronal connections in the brain. A probable diagnosis is based on the history of the illness and cognitive testing, with medical imaging and blood tests to rule out other possible causes. Initial symptoms are often mistaken for normal brain aging. Examination of brain tissue is needed for a definite diagnosis, but this can only take place after death. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers

Alzheimer's disease is an incurable, irreversible, and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that accounts for between 60-80% of dementia cases around the world. In the United States, 13.8 million people will develop the disorder by the year 2050 and the majority will experience a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms for which there are no FDA-approved treatments. It is therefore hoped that science will develop a CBD-based medication to naturally and safely treat these symptoms.

The current International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) divides migraine into two major types: migraine without aura and migraine with aura. Migraine without aura – formerly also known as common migraine or hemicrania simplex – is described in the ICHD-3 as a recurrent headache disorder which manifests in attacks that last 4-72 hours. Migraine with aura is described as characterized by transient focal neurological symptoms that typically precede or sometimes accompany the headache. Typical characteristics of migraine headache are: -Unilateral location -Pulsating quality -Moderate or severe intensity -Aggravation by routine physical activity -Associated with nausea -Photophobia and/or phonophobia. ~Migraine is one of the common causes of recurrent headache. According to IHS, Migraine constitutes16% of the primary headache and affects 10-20% of the general population. As we know that the attack of Migraine is mostly unbearable and unpredictable. During attack of Migraine, patients generally prefer to consume any popular modern painkillers available in the market or prescribed by the doctor, consuming the same may cause various serious side effects. Let’s raise awareness about migraine and support those affected! 💡🌟 Idea to share by Ajay Samuel,Ethical Edufabrica Pvt. Ltd

🔍 Last Sunday was National Fibromyalgia Day. If you're unfamiliar with this condition, let's dive in! TL;DR: Fibromyalgia is a tremendously widespread pain syndrome that affects 4-8% of the population. Yet, many physicians and people look at fibromyalgia patients as erratic, and it is considered a "ghost disease". Why? It starts in the fibromyalgia source - the brain. Neuroscience today doesn't have the objective tools to identify fibromyalgia biomarkers, exactly as with any other neurological disease, which is diagnosed only AFTER the symptoms are crystal clear. Untipicly to other neurological conditions, the diagnostic approach for fibromyalgia involves ruling out ANY other condition that could be associated with the pain. Consequently, the diagnostic period typically takes 3-5 years! Let's get it clear - patients will suffer from tremendous pain for years while all health providers tell them that nothing is wrong with them. The patient may begin to feel bewildered, questioning themselves and blaming themselves for the problem, while they navigate from one physician to another, enduring a series of exams and unnecessary procedures.
