Which part of the brain does Alzheimer's affect right or left side?
Alzheimer's disease primarily affects the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, which are located in both the right and left sides of the brain. These regions are important for memory, thinking, and reasoning, and are typically affected by the degeneration of neurons in Alzheimer's disease.
What disease affects both hearing and sight?

Is Hunter Syndrome and Huntington's Chorea the same?
No, Hunter Syndrome (also known as Mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a rare genetic disorder that affects metabolism. It is caused by the lack of an enzyme in the body. On the other hand, Huntington's chorea (also known as Huntington's disease) is a different genetic disorder that affects the brain, leading to movement, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. While both are genetic disorders, they affect different systems in the body.
Is Alzheimer's disease a form of cancer?
No, Alzheimer's disease is not a form of cancer. Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory and cognitive function due to the degeneration of brain cells. In contrast, cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. While both diseases are serious and can significantly impact health, they are fundamentally different in their causes, mechanisms, and effects.
Can white disease affect men?

What disease is similar to Meningitis?
Encephalitis is a disease similar to meningitis, as both involve inflammation of the central nervous system. While meningitis specifically affects the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, encephalitis involves inflammation of the brain itself. Both conditions can be caused by viral infections, and their symptoms may overlap, including fever, headache, and altered mental status. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for both diseases.
Do both the brain and the ear control your body?

What is the difference between tuberculosis and cancer?
Both are harmful. TB is an infectuous disease- meaning you catch it from someone else. It is caused by a mycobacterium, and usually infects the lungs. If not treated, can be fatal, but there are drugs that can cure it. Cancer is generally not a contagious disease, and affects many different parts of the body, depending on what type of cancer. Some cancers can be treated with good results, others are harder to treat. There are too many different forms of cancer to give a simple answer- sorry.
Can a a stroke affect both side of the body at different times?
Yes, a stroke can affect both sides of the body at different times, although it primarily impacts one side due to the brain's organization. For example, a stroke on the left side of the brain typically affects the right side of the body, and vice versa. However, if there are multiple strokes or if the stroke leads to complications such as swelling or changes in brain function, symptoms might manifest on both sides at different times. Rehabilitation and therapy can also influence how and when symptoms appear.
