Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia, characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss, affecting primarily older individuals. Dementia is a broader term encompassing various conditions that result in similar symptoms of cognitive impairment.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by recurrent seizures due to abnormal brain activity. Seizures can vary from brief lapses of attention to convulsions. Treatment often involves medication to control seizures, but in some cases, surgery may be considered.
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. It is caused by prolonged exposure to high blood sugar levels, leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, pain, or weakness, typically starting in the feet and legs and progressing to other parts of the body. Management involves blood sugar control, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.
Cervical/lumbar radiculopathies are conditions where nerves in the neck (cervical) or lower back (lumbar) are compressed or irritated, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness radiating down the arms or legs. Common causes include herniated discs or bone spurs. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.
Stroke neurology involves the study and treatment of conditions resulting from disruptions in blood flow to the brain, leading to brain damage. Ischemic strokes are caused by blockages in blood vessels, while hemorrhagic strokes result from bleeding. Treatment includes rapid medical intervention to restore blood flow and prevent further damage, along with rehabilitation to aid recovery.
Meningitis is the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It is typically caused by viral or bacterial infections and can lead to symptoms such as severe headache, fever, stiffness in the neck, and sensitivity to light. Prompt medical treatment is essential, as bacterial meningitis can be life-threatening.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, causing inflammation, demyelination, and a range of neurological symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and impaired mobility. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing disease progression through medication and lifestyle adjustments.
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune condition primarily affecting the optic nerves and spinal cord. It causes episodes of optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and other neurological symptoms such as weakness and sensory disturbances. Treatment involves immunosuppressive therapy to manage attacks and prevent relapses.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue, often worsening with activity and improving with rest. Treatment involves medications to enhance neuromuscular transmission and manage symptoms.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, commonly used in neurology, temporarily paralyze muscles by blocking nerve signals. They are utilized for cosmetic purposes to reduce wrinkles and for medical conditions like muscle spasms or chronic migraines.
Headache pain results from signals interacting among your brain, blood vessels and surrounding nerves. During a headache, multiple mechanisms activate specific nerves that affect muscles and blood vessels. These nerves send pain signals to your brain, causing a headache.
Vertigo is not a disease itself but rather a symptom of various underlying conditions. It's characterized by a sensation of spinning, dizziness, or a feeling that the environment around you is moving or spinning when it's not. This sensation can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sweating, or difficulty walking.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder marked by motor symptoms like tremors and stiffness, caused by dopamine cell loss. It also brings cognitive and mood changes. While incurable, treatments can ease symptoms and enhance life quality.
