What are epidemic prone diseases? What is the germ theory of disease? What is a transmissible neurodegenerative disease? What is CJD brain disease? What is a contagious viral disease? How is a viral disease diagnosed? What is the etiology of syphilis?
In this lesson we'll explain what degenerative diseases are. We'll then look at four examples: osteoarthritis, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy. What are Degenerative Diseases? Picture your favorite pair of running shoes. You probably remember when you first...
These include therapeutic antibodies for CNS diseases (multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer disease) and the dramatic introduction of RNA-targeted therapeutics. Second, we highlight areas where greater molecular understanding is needed. Salient examples are the relation of brain structure to cognitive symptoms, ...
Causes of brain aneurysm: Are you at risk? A brain aneurysm can result from a congenital defect, some inherited diseases, or other degenerative conditions, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or atherosclerosis (fat buildup inside the arteries, often leading to heart attack or stroke). ...
It damages the lung's alveoli or air sacs. It is infectious and can spread to other parts of the body, including the spine and brain. Though it was formerly the greatest cause of mortality, most cases are now curable with antibiotics. ...
Genes that affect IQ may not increase your IQ directly. Geneticists haven’t found an IQ gene; instead there are dozens, or possibly hundreds, of genes that have an impact on brain development, many in unexpected ways. For example, gene mutations causing disorders and diseases can also indirec...
Directly related to meningitis is encephalitis, and it's possible to have the two diseases together, a condition known as meningoencephalitis. Encephalitis also inflames the brain, often because of the herpes simplex virus. This condition is diagnosed by examining the patient's brain fluid. Sympto...
