DMD Under Spot Light!

Image
  Because newborns are the prettiest creatures on the planet, in addition to being incredibly vulnerable and sensitive, everything terrible that occurs to them is met with extreme empathy and sympathy. Today, I'll shine a light on a rare neurological condition that, sadly, affects toddlers and children. trying to promote awareness about such a cruel disease so that moms may quickly detect it if their children are affected, resulting in an early diagnosis and hence a better and smoother recovery process. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an uncommon muscle disease, yet it is among the most prevalent genetic conditions, affecting around one in every 3,500 male births globally. It is commonly identified between the ages of three and six. DMD is typified by pelvic region muscular weakness and atrophy, accompanied by impairment of the shoulder muscles. As the condition advances, muscular weakness and atrophy extend to the neck and arms, and then to other muscles throughout the body...

Awareness-Up for LESM Disorder !

Image
  Raising knowledge of various diseases is a vital method for assisting patients in living in a healthy society. So, today, I'll shed some light on one of the oddest neuromuscular disorders, which regrettably affects a big number of people nowadays. The LEMS disorder. what is LEMS? What causes it? Is it curable? If you are seeking the answer to these questions continue reading this article. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a relatively uncommon disorder that disrupts nerve-to-muscle impulses. It implies that the muscles are unable to appropriately contract, leading to muscular weakness and a variety of additional symptoms. The myasthenic syndrome is another name for LEMS. LEMS affects most lung cancer patients in their middle age. The other occurrences are not cancer-related and can appear at any time. LEMS does not run in families, which means it isn’t a hereditary disorder. LEMS is caused by the body's defense mechanisms, the immune system, attacking an...

SMA goes viral!

Image
  Because the more individuals who are enlightened about diverse diseases, the more they appreciate the pain of others, and so develop more compassionate, and courteous generations. Raising awareness of various diseases is an important strategy in helping patients live in a healthier society. So, today, I'll shine a light on one of the strangest hereditary neuromuscular disorders, which unfortunately affects a large number of individuals nowadays. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder. that is inherited and forces muscles to degenerate and die down. In SMA, patients no longer have a particular type of nerve cell located in the spinal cord which is known as the motor neurons that mainly controls the muscle movement. the absence of these nerves results in having Muscles not receiving nerve impulses that cause them to function. muscle Atrophy occurs Due to the lack of usage, specific muscles in SMA shrin...

What Is The FRDA Disorder?

Image
  Since the more people get educated about various diseases, the more they understand the suffering of others, and the more compassionate caring, and respectful generations will be produced. Raising awareness about the different dis eases is a vital tool in making the patients live in a better society. so today I will spot the light on one of the rarest genetic neuromuscular disorders that unlucky affect many people nowadays. It was first diagnosed by German physician Nikolaus Friedreich in 1863, is a neuromuscular illness that specifically targets the central nervous system and the cardiovascular. Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) disease, is a hereditary chronic neurological mobility condition that manifests itself between the ages of 10 and 15 years . it is an uncommon genetic neuromuscular disorder that mainly causes trouble with mobility, speech problems, and loss of sensation in the limbs. Spinocerebellar degeneration is another name for it. Ataxia refers to a ...

Awareness of MS is activated !

Image
  Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that potentially devastates the central nervous system. It is considered the most widespread chronic neurological disorder that affects youths. As the immune system destroys the myelin sheath (the protein cover that surrounds the nerve protecting it from any possible damage), hence triggering communication challenges between the brain and the body. The condition might ultimately cause irreversible nerve injury or degeneration.   In general: Bladder troubles, Vision difficulties, loss of sensation, stiffness, stability problems or nausea, sexual dysfunction, aches, muscles spasms, and cognitive impairments are common early indicators of multiple sclerosis. The most serious complications are: 1-       vision impairment , the Inflammation caused by MS damages the optic nerve and impairs eyesight. This might result in degradation or loss of eyesight. In addition, the cranial nerves may be...

ALS Disorder comes to light .

Image
  Life is changeable. None of us can guarantee to live in permanent health, but always things happen of a sudden changing entirely the way we live. The secret fatal disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, it’s a Chronic neurological disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells. The disease mainly affects nerves extending from the brain to the spinal cord &, to muscles all over the human body. They are in charge of transmitting information between the brain, spinal cord, and voluntary muscles, which enables you to do actions including eating, clothing, talking, holding items, and walking. The loss of these neurons in ALS prevents signals from being sent from the central nervous system to the muscles. People mostly wonder who can be affected by such a fatal disease. In the United States, around 60% of those diagnosed with ALS are men, whereas 93% of cases are Caucasian. According to demographic surveys, roughly 5,600 persons in the United States have identified with ALS ...

Raising Awareness For CMT.

Image
Raising  Awareness For CMT. There are several diseases that nowadays are catching the attention of the public. But one of the essential diseases that people aren't well educated about is neurological disorders. Medically, neurological diseases are problems that affect the brain and also the nerves present all across the human body including the spinal cord. A variety of symptoms can be caused by structural, metabolic, or electrical irregularities in the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves.  Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of inherited disorders that cause nerve damage. This harm is mostly in the arms and legs. termed after the three doctors who first described it in 1886. Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth. The term "CMT" is commonly also called hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN) The general incidence rate of CMT is around 19 cases per 100,000 persons, however, this varies. CMT damages the peripheral nerves, which conve...
