Complete recovery from Wernicke's syndrome may follow prompt administration of thiamine. However, repeated episodes of encephalopathy or prolonged alcohol abuse may cause persistent dementia or Korsakoff psychosis.
The prognosis for tremor depends on the underlying cause. In cases of essential tremor, the condition is usually not life-threatening and may be managed with medication or lifestyle changes. However, tremors caused by conditions like Parkinson's disease or other neurological disorders can progress over time and may impact daily functioning. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
A prognosis is the projected course a disease will take. This can only be done after a diagnosis is made of a particular condition. For a person diagnosed with cancer, the prognosis may be grim, predicting death in only a few short months or weeks. However, it can also be harmless: the prognosis for a person with a sunburn is that they will recover in a week or two. A prognosis is not necessarily fatal it is simply what is most likely to happen in the future based on what is known at the time. With out a full knowledge of a particular condition it is not possible to make an accurate prognosis. If a person has a cold it is most likely a full recovery will be made but if other factors are not known then a proper prognosis cannot be made. Another instance. If bronchitis were a simple disease instead of a symptom then a simple answer would be possible. It is similar to asking, "How long will a car last?" Bronchitis will last until the underlying cause is taken care of.
Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease. It is caused by your genes. However, an attack can often be triggered by movies and/or the 3D movie experience in a person with the genetic capacity for Migraine attacks.
The prognosis for recovery from roundworm infections is good for most patients. The severity of infection, however, varies considerably from person to person.
Prognosis. Most skin pigmentation disorders do not affect a person's health, only the outward appearance.
The prognosis for this disorder varies according to its specific type and how it has progresses. While some cases of this disorder are mild and progress slowly, other cases can be more severe and have a rapid progression. Some people can live many years with this disease, while others with the severe form can die in infancy or during childhood. This disorder is a genetic disease that in some people manifests in childhood. However, this disorder also can affect a person later in life.
Prognosis is usually good if the condition is diagnosed early, and if the person has a strong self image with supportive family, friends, and teachers.
When a disease can be moved from person it can be known as an Infectious disease, a Transmittable disease, or a communicable disease.
A young, healthy person with Chlamydia pneumoniae has an excellent prognosis. In the elderly, however, there is a 5-10% death rate from this infection.
No. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease) is caused by a misfolded protein called a prion. If the infectious prion is eaten by a human, over time the human may develop variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (vCJD) which is a progressive neurologic disease that is eventually fatal. Once a person has died of vCJD, he or she will not return to life (or surprisingly active undead-ness, in the case of zombies).
Prognosis for all patients with malnutrition seems to be dependent on the age of the patient, and the length and severity of the malnutrition.
LBD is a slowly progressive chronic disorder. However, the rate of progression may be faster than in Alzheimer's disease. The disease is fatal from complications of poor nutrition, swallowing difficulties, and immobility
