Alst-Wayne Syndrome

Cotard's Syndrome is an uncommon emotional instability which exists in patients with depression, schizophrenia, and psychotic disorder created by a general restorative condition, and it is frequently connected with dementia. Patients denies their existence, the presence of a specific body part, or the presence of a bit of their body. Delusion and hallucinations are the primary manifestations, yet others, for example, depression and anxiety happen by and large.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. ALS is also named Lou Gehrig’s disease because he was the first person to bring ALS to a national attention in the 1930’s. Lou Gehrig’s amazing professional baseball career was ended short by this horrific disease. There are multiple treatments for ALS, but no cure for this fatal disease. In 2014, ALS was brought to major attention by the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Although Lou has the disease named after him, there are several other notable individuals who have been diagnosed with ALS. These individuals include Stephen Hawking, Jim Hunter, Steve Gleason, George Yardley

ALS was also called Lou Gehrig disease. The reason why it was called the Lou Gehrig diseases is because he was a famous MLB baseball player that was diagnosed with ALS and later on died from it. Lou Gehrig was born in New York City, on June 19, 1903. Lou devoted his whole life in Baseball and his family. Later on Lou was having a hard time tying his shoes and had a feeling that this can be his end of his career. In 1939, The doctor had a bad news for him which was that he was diagnosed with ALS.

Professionalism has a different meaning to everyone. To me it is defined as "the skill and good judgment that is expected from a person who is trained to do a specific job." As an EMS provider, I will be in contact with the public that is looking at me to be the best in my profession. They will expect me to carry myself in a professional manner. They will also expect the best care that I can provide, and that I can acknowledge when I need to call for ALS personal to render better care if needed.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a common form of progressive dementia that affects approximately 1.4 million Americans today which makes it the second most prevalent form of dementia behind Alzheimer’s. LBD is formed when lewy body proteins grow in the area of the brain that controls thinking, memory and motor movement. Generally, there are two types of brain diseases that are affected by lewy bodies; Parkinson’s disease with dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies. Discovered by famous neurologist Frederic Lewy, lewy body dementia can affect a person’s ability to perform daily task, cause mood changes and sometimes leads to brain tumors and strokes. Lewy bodies are made up of tiny, microscopic proteins called alpha- synuclein. Typically, these

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal disease, also known as Motor Neurons Disease, Charchot Disease and Lou Gehrig disease. ALS destroys the Central Nervous System (CNS) and causes damage to the upper and lower motor neurons in the brain. Signs and symptoms are characterized as: muscles weakness, muscle atrophy, twitching and reduced muscle reflexes. Eventually the patient will become paralyzed and rely on a tracheostomy and ventilator for breathing (ALS Association [ALSA], 2010).

ALS and CTE’s are horrible diseases that don't have a cure and have no age requirement weather young or old. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or commonly heard as ALS means no muscle nourishment. It is neurodegenerative disease in which the nerve cells die in the brain and spinal cord due to hits to the head. CTE short for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy happens when getting repeated blows to the head. CTE’s have a lot of disease under it like dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington's disease. Those can only be prevented by avoiding head injury. The number one thing that causes this is being part of a sport, weather contact to contact or contact with the turf and equipment. There has been more rules added to sports for the protection of the players. All the measures should be taken to make the sport safer, however it should not change the sport. When someone does sports like football, soccer, and boxing they know injuries happen, but still decide do it because of their passion for the game. Informing the athletes on

Lesch Nyhan Syndrome (LNS) is a rare condition that affects young children, almost exclusively males. Kidney stones, inadequate muscle control, and the urge to self-harm are all common symptoms of LNS (2). Extensive research is being conducted in order to gain knowledge on the exact causes and preventions of such a peculiar disease.

“If it came to a magic genie, I would ask him for two extra wishes. One would be that no one would have to live with the muscular dystrophy disease or any disease,” –Mattie Stepanek. Mattie was just one of the many unfortunate children diagnosed with a muscular dystrophy. The most severe of them all is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy also known as DMD.

ALS and CTE are much more than just the Ice Bucket Challenge or being hit in the head. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which affects the brain and spinal cord. Similarly, CTE is a brain disease caused by brain trauma. CTE stands for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Both ALS and CTE are caused by head trauma and concussions. A concussion is a temporary unconsciousness because of a blow to the head. Athletes have the highest risk of being diagnosed with these diseases because have a higher chance of a of hitting their head because of the physical activities. It is not fair for athletes to have to face those challenges but, at the end of the day one has the choice of taking the risks while being an athlete.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease, which means there’s an increasing loss of neuron structure and function as the disease progresses. This is when there’s an unusual hardening of body tissue due to a lack of muscle nourishment and poor nerve cell transmission. ALS typically affects the ages of 40-70 years old, and for some unknown reason, military veterans are almost double the chance of developing ALS in comparison to the general public. The first large-scale effort to track ALS and its outcomes is the ALS CARE Database, where it stated that, of the people in the database, 60% were men, and 93% were Caucasian (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Fact Sheet, 2016). There are 2 main types of ALS; sporadic and

There are several different types of seizures and clinical manifestation depends on the type of seizure. One of the most significant seizure, generalized tonic-clonic seizure has two important symptoms that precedes the onset of seizure. Just prior of initiation of generalized tonic-clonic seizure one may experience an aura, that is partial seizure that involves auditory, visual, gustatory, and olfactory distortions (McCance & Huether, 2014). The person may also experience feeling of numbness, dizziness, anxiety and nausea. A prodroma is a term for another early manifestation that may occur hours to day prior a seizure. Headache, malaise, depression are early symptoms (a prodroma) of a seizure.

Throughout this time one has heard about strange diseases that have a huge affect on people. There is a mystery for this happening. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy(CTE), Huntington's Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s have the something in common, the brain. Although one intends to think it can handle pain, but failing to not being treated or failing to rest this impact will have bad results. If one only doubts, it will not have anything happen to that particular person, that person can think again. This may not happen today or tomorrow, but it can happen to to one later on throughout that person's lifetime if it is chosen to ignore all this. Some of these diseases have not been

Lynch syndrome, previously known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a parental inherited condition that exposes a person to the risks of cancers, but most commonly colon cancer1-9. It is a heterozygous autosomal dominant genetic condition, which means that if only one parent carries the gene for Lynch syndrome (LS), then a 50 percent chance of passing on the mutation will be passed to each child1-9. LS is limited to families with a known pathogenic germline mutation2. A germline mutation is when mutations occur in the germ line, which is a group of cells that contribute to the improvement of gametes2,3,10. To find out how individuals are to contract this disease, the family medical history must be taken into account. Early

Have you ever heard of the Ice Bucket Challenge? If so, did you know that Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS? The Hall of Fame will be adding one person who gets a reward for being persistent in their life. Stephen Hawking will be receiving the persistent award. Today Stephen Hawking still has to face ALS, but he is now known as a Theoretical Physicist who works hard. This shows that Stephen never gives up even if he has a terrible disease.
