Atrophy

The main findings of this study include: 1), the OSA group performed significantly worse on the SRT delayed recall compared to the non-OSA group only after antidepressant treatment at week 16, and the results remained significant after controlling for the baseline performance; 2), compared to the non-OSA group, the OSA group had a greater microvascular burden with the evidence of more severe MRI signal hyperintensities of DWM, PVH, and SCG, as well as higher percentages of patients with advanced…

(ALS), it is an analysis that no patients want to obtain. ALS is a gradual neurodegenerative disorder that results in damage of brain stem and spinal motor neurons and gives growth to painless weakness and muscle atrophy with few or no sensory symptoms. “Amyotrophic” stands for muscle atrophy, and “lateral sclerosis” means pathologic changes in the spinal cord that contain degeneration of the lateral columns where the corticospinal tracts are situated. Diagnosis of ALS is made on the foundation…

A hypophonic voice is characterized as weak and breathy. Hypophonic voice due to unilateral vocal fold paralysis is a common voice disorders in adults. Another cause that leads to hypophonic voice is vocal fold atrophy due to certain neurologic diseases or aging. However, considering its prevalence among adults, treatments are limited. Treatment typically consists of voice therapy combined with behavioral approaches or surgery. Behavioral treatment includes exercises, such as vocal Function…

ototoxic agents will be increased. (13). Conflict at The higher levels of afferent auditory pathways is also seen in animals with a history of embryonic stress (13). Impaired sensory gating (14), severe startle reflex (15), dendritic atrophy of auditory cortex (16), atrophy of auditory neurons in Inferior Colliculus (17) and neuronal morphology defects in different parts of CANS (central auditory nervous system) (17) can be mentioned as another consequences of fetal stress. It was also reported…

The protein Alpha-Synuclein is found in the healthy part of the brain. Scientists also say that Alpha-Synuclein plays a big role with getting Parkinson’s disease. Alpha -Synuclein has a symbol of SNCA gene, which provides instructions to make the small protein. The SNCA gene belongs to a family of genes called PARK (Parkinson disease) (Does the SNCA gene share characteristics with other genes ?). A gene is a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to…

presence of cysts and areas necrosis or miniseralization. Mineralisation can be detected on non-contrast CT images (Sturges et. al 2008). Most meningiomas have minimal peritumoral oedema. Hyperostosis is associated with bone erosion caused by pressure atrophy of the calvarium and subsequent bony thickening due to aggregations of tumor cells in the meduallry spaces, it is not pathognomonic for meningiomas but occurs frequently and is reported in approximately 50% of feline cases (Gordon et.…

I decided to write this over Garcinia Cambogia products. I personally have not used or wanted to use this product but I know some people who are using it. There was a fake endorsement by Dr. Zo that a company used to sell the product. Garcinia Cambogia is made out of a citrus fruit from Southeast Asia. They then turn them in to supplement pills. They block the enzymes your body uses to make fat and raises the serotonin levels in the brain. The product is used to make you lose fat without eating…

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a degenerative disease that affects the neurons responsible for voluntary muscle control. Motor neurons are responsible for movement and to cause movement need to receive electrochemical messages from the brain and spinal cord(the central nervous system). When the brain sends a message to the rest of your body telling it how to move, the message first starts in the brain. These neurons in the brain, called upper neurons, then send the message to the spinal…

Atrophic Vaginitis is a pervasive condition amongst postmenopausal women in which the vaginal epithelium begins to thin and atrophy. It is associated with mucosal dryness, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, vaginal discomfort, and an increased incidence of UTI and stress incontinence. There is a correlation between a decrease in circulating oestradiol during the menopause transition and Atrophic Vaginitis. This paper outlines the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as a non-hormonal…

RMW is a common complication of neuromuscular diseases. It causes a respiratory failure which may lead to death (Bourke, 2014). RMW can be classified as acute (as seen in Guillain-Barré syndrome), chronic and relapsing (relapse) (as seen in multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis), or relentlessly progressive (as seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS]) (Ambrosino, Carpene, & Gherardi, 2009; Areeyapinan & Phanthumchinda, 2010; Berrih-Aknin, Frenkian-Cuvelier, & Eymard, 2014). Assessment and…
