What is progressive multifocal lukoencephalopathy?
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease caused by opportunistic infection of brain cells
What does infectious polyneuritis do?
The disease affects the myelin sheath, which coats nerve cells. It causes progressive muscle weakness and paralysis
What is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme Beta hexosaminidase A?
A deficiency of the enzyme Beta hexosaminidase A leads to Tay-Sachs disease, a rare genetic disorder that results in the progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms typically appear in infancy and include developmental delays, loss of motor skills, and eventually, blindness and seizures.
What is LAS disease?
ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.
What is als diseas?
ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually respiratory failure. There is currently no cure for ALS.
What is the genetic theory of aging?
The genetic theory of aging suggests that the process of aging is influenced by an individual's genetic makeup. It proposes that variations in genes can affect an organism's lifespan and susceptibility to age-related diseases. Research in this field focuses on identifying specific genes that play a role in the aging process.
Is parkinsons disease hereditory?
There is still some question about that. People who develop Parkinson's are 6% more likely to come from a family that has at least one member with the disease. Those that come with families with no family members with the disease have a 2% chance of contracting the disease.
What is progressive supranuclear palsy?
a rare disease that gradually destroys nerve cells in the parts of the brain that control eye movements, breathing, and muscle coordination.
What is a rapidly progressive neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Why is Canavan disease called spongy degeneration of the brain?
Canavan disease is sometimes called spongy degeneration of the brain since it is characterized by a sponginess or swelling of the brain cells and a destruction of the white matter of the brain
What causes the destruction of red blood cells?
hemophagia
What happens to aging muscle cells?
When a human being is aging, their muscle cells also tend to age. Because of this, the muscle cells become weaker and the body is more prone to injury.
