Research Paper: Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the major public health problems in the world. It is a well-known fact that around one million people suffer from Parkinson’s disease in the United States whereas the number of people suffering from Parkinson’s disease worldwide is around 5 million. Thus‚ it is very important for us to predict Parkinson disease in early stages so that we can take the necessary treatment. People are mostly familiar with the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by progressive cognitive impairment [1]. Age is the most important factor that predisposes persons to the non-familial form of the disease‚ which in 2010 affected over 35 million elderly adults worldwide [2]. How aging interacts with other risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease [3] is still unknown. It appears‚ however‚ that certain age-related pathologies that are closely associated with systemic dysfunctions in lipid metabolism

Dysarthria‚ a motor speech disorder‚ results in the impairment of speech production predominantly due to “disturbances in muscular execution or control of the speech mechanism” (Freed‚ 2011‚ p. 2). In general‚ patients will experience symptoms of vocal fatigue‚ tremors‚ slurred or slow speech that’s difficult to understand‚ and problems controlling pitch and loudness (5). At the diagnosis stage‚ SLPs notice important signs of abnormal strength‚ speed‚ and accuracy during speech movements (Moore‚

Canavan’s disease is one of the most common and fatal progressive cerebellar degenerative disorder affecting the white matter of the brain which is caused due to the enzyme aspartoacylase. 1 Aspartoacylase (ASPA gene) promotes the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) to produce acetate and L-aspartate which is the only brain enzyme that has been shown to effectively metabolize NAA. 2 NAA metabolism plays a major role in the formation of myelin lipids. Oligodendrocytes present in the brain

Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a motor neuron disease‚ degenerative and fatal in nature‚ that affects the worldwide population and more than 12‚000 people in the United States alone. ALS remains idiopathic in nature‚ with only a small percentage of familial infection‚ and research into the causes and the progression of the disease has made little headway in the last 25 years‚ despite rising scientific interest. This article will provide a brief description of the known pathophysiology
