Diabetes neuropathy (DN) is a neurological disorder associated with Diabetes Mellitus (DM), also known as Type-2 diabetes (Menz, Lord, St George, & Fitzpatrick, 2004). Diabetes neuropathy has many integral complications that circulate around the biomechanical impairments of the feet, especially in the elderly population with diabetes (Richardson, Thies, DeMott, & Ashton-Miller, 2005). DN has worrying health risks as it has harmful effects on stability, gait efficiency and function (Menz, Morris,

The unawareness of paralysis is known as anosognosia. First theorised by Babinski in 1914 following patient observations, the scope of diagnosis has broadened extensively over time. In his original study, two patients with left hemisphere hemiplegia were asked to move the affected limb. Both patients retained their cognitive abilities and when asked, would remain silent or act as if the action had been completed. The simplest conclusion that one could come to would be denial of one’s condition. Babinski

Case Study: Congenital Visual Agnosia and Prosopagnosia in a Child In this paper I will be doing a literature review and evaluating the case study of a particular younger patient with Congenital Visual Agnosia and Prosopagnosia. Visual agnosia is the impairment of the recognition of different object stimuli, which cannot be explained by other sensory losses (Ariel, & Sadeh, 1996). There is said to be two different classifications or types of diagnosed visual agnosia, associate and appreciative agnosia

moment changed the trajectory of my life and I became determined that I would become a neurosurgeon. I strived for success and held myself to exacting standards in order to achieve my goals – to become an exemplar Pre-med student and research neurological disorders like my mothers.

Do studies of neurological disorders support the claim that specific language functions are associated with distinct neural structures? Student ID: 12926466 Studying language in terms of its localization of function has proven to be a challenging task. Unlike other cognitive processes such as perception, attention and memory, language research faces the constraint of studying merely human beings. Even though other types of mammals and birds also develop some form of communication systems their
