Some neurological diseases are inherited. Among the most common inherited neurological disorders are the following: Alzheimer’s disease; Epilepsy; Huntington’s disease; Dyslexia; Parkinson’s disease; Tourette’s syndrome; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A lot of these genetic conditions are severe for patients. Some of them gradually lead to the loss of the ability to perform the necessary things independently….
Alpers disease is a rare mitochondrial disease. As a rule, you can diagnose it with a genetic or blood test. It manifests as a progressive encephalopathy combined with cirrhosis of the liver. The molecular basis of the disease is a gamma polymerase deficiency. It is the only eukaryotic DNA polymerase. It supports DNA replication in…
Alpers Huttenlocher syndrome is a rare mitochondrial disease. Scientists associate it with mutations in mitochondrial DNA gamma polymerase (POLG). A decrease in mitochondrial DNA replication leads to a reduction in enzyme activity. The disease manifests itself when replication levels become critical. There is variability in the onset and progression of Alpers disease. It happens even…
The beauty of our face is an important aspect in the life of every person. We pay attention to beautiful facial features, read emotions using facial expressions, and analyze and communicate using our faces. The facial nerve is responsible for how our emotions are displayed and how the muscles on our face work. A beautiful…
The beauty of the face is essential for every person. We communicate, read emotions and other signs on a person’s face, and also express our emotions with the help of a face. The facial nerve is responsible for the work of our muscles on the face. However, at some point, this nerve can operate incorrectly….
Dyslexia is one of the most common problems with learning and mastering a native language. Often, the problem affects reading, spelling, and information processing, occurring to one degree or another in about 10% of the population. Dyslexia often occurs in conjunction with other conditions, such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Dyslexia…
The human is a very complex organism, the correct functioning of which depends on many factors. And even a small failure in our body can lead to catastrophic consequences. So, one of the serious failures of our bodies is hydrocephalus. It is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates abnormally in the brain. The…
Acquired neurological communication disorders (ANCDs) are a group of neurological conditions affecting a person’s speech abilities. These disorders can occur after any type of brain injuries, such as a stroke, tumor, or head injury. They can also develop from diseases like multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy. Each acquired neurogenic communication disorder is unique but shares…
Encephalitis is a complex disease associated with inflammation of the human brain. Often referred to as a viral infection, the disease can be caused by bacteria, parasites, fungi, or autoimmune diseases. In addition, encephalitis can also appear due to severe head trauma, such as after an accident or severe bruising, or as a result of…
After treatment for encephalitis, you should be prepared because recovering can be long and difficult. Encephalitis affects the brain, so neurons (nerve cells in the brain) are affected. People with encephalitis experience effects similar to those of strokes, head injuries, and other brain diseases. These are usually associated with cognitive and speech impairment. All these…
