Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Anoxia/Hypoxia? Specifically, anoxia is a condition in which there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues although there is adequate blood flow to the tissue. Hypoxia is a condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen to the tissue in spite of adequate blood flow to the tissue. Anoxia and hypoxia, however, are often used interchangeably—without regard to their specific meanings—to describe a condition that occurs in an organ when there is a diminished supply of oxygen to the organ's tissues. Anoxia and hypoxia may be caused by a number of events, such as heart attack, severe asthma, smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation, high altitude exposure, strangulation, anesthetic accidents, or poisoning. In severe cases of anoxia and hypoxia, from any cause, the patient is often stuperous or comatose (in a state of unconsciousness) for periods ranging from hours to days, weeks, or months. Seizures, myoclonic jerks (muscle spasms or twitches), and neck stiffness may occur.

Orthostatic hypotension is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. It may be caused by hypovolemia (a decreased amount of blood in the body), resulting from the excessive use of diuretics, vasodilators, or other types of drugs, dehydration, or prolonged bed rest. The disorder may be associated with Addison's disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome and other dysautonomias. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).

Annette Funicello Fund For Neurological Disorders Annette Funicello stopped being just another teenager in 1955, when she and the rest of the Mousketeers were introduced to America in a national TV special that coincided with the opening of Disneyland. Since that day, she has lived her life in the spotlight. She first noticed signs of what would be diagnosed as multiple sclerosis while working on the 1987 film Back to the Beach. In 1992, she made her diagnosis public, saying "I think you only have two choices in this kind of situation. Either you give in to it or you fight it. I intend to fight." To battle Multiple Sclerosis, she established the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation in 1993. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can be lifelong. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease.

Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement. The muscles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles are also affected in some forms of MD, and a few forms involve other organs as well. The major forms of MD include myotonic, Duchenne, Becker, limb-girdle, facioscapulohumeral, congenital, oculopharyngeal, distal and Emery-Dreifuss. Duchenne is the most common form of MD affecting children, and myotonic MD is the most common form affecting adults. MD can affect people of all ages. Although some forms first become apparent in infancy or childhood, others may not appear until middle age or later.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Reye's Syndrome? Is there any treatment? There is no cure for RS. Successful management, which depends on early diagnosis, is primarily aimed at protecting the brain against irreversible damage by reducing brain swelling, reversing the metabolic injury, preventing complications in the lungs, and anticipating cardiac arrest. It has been learned that several inborn errors of metabolism mimic RS in that the first manifestation of these errors may be an encephalopathy with liver dysfunction. These disorders must be considered in all suspected cases of RS. Some evidence suggests that treatment in the end stages of RS with hypertonic IV glucose solutions may prevent progression of the syndrome. What is the prognosis?

52. Neurological Disorders Healing With Homeopathy. Homeopathy for neurological disorders. Homeopathy'smost impressive results come in neurological disorders http://www.healing-with-homeopathy.com/healing/neurological.html

Healing With Homeopathy Homeopathy for Neurological Disorders Homeopathy's most impressive results come in neurological disorders, if treatment begins in the early stages before destruction of nerve tissue has occurred, or if the illness is caused by an inflammation of nerve tissue. By stimulating the body's natural healing systems, homeopaths find that the nervous system has a greater capacity for repair and healing than medical opinion suggests. Especially in children, neurological damage can often be repaired or rehabilitated in the early stages. Unfortunately, many patients with serious neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis only consult with a homeopath several years after diagnosis, when significant nerve tissue destruction has occurred. Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's is a progressively degenerative disorder that results when brain cells are unable to produce the dopamine essential for coordinated movement. The result is tremors, rigidity of the muscles, and slowness of motion. Conventional treatment with L-dopa loses its effectiveness over time, as deterioration progresses. Can homeopathy help? Homeopaths find there can be curative results when treatment begins in the early stages. In later stages it is more difficult to treat Parkinson's, but clinical results indicate that homeopathic treatment can prolong the duration of effectiveness of L-dopa, and slow the progression of the disease. Multiple Sclerosis This neurological disorder involves the progressive loss of myelin that covers nerve fibres, resulting in the abnormal function of whichever nerves are affected. There are several forms of multiple sclerosis, including a progressively degenerative form, and a more intermittent form characterized by periodic relapses. Symptoms include weakness of one or more limbs, numbness or tingling, double vision or blurred vision, vertigo, and loss of balance. With homeopathic treatment and dietary changes, it is definitely possible for people to experience remissions or significant improvements in their symptoms if they begin treatment in the early stages. In later stages, homeopathy still has much to offer - treatment can alleviate the symptoms, and slow the progression of the disease.

Neurological disorders are quite diverse, chronic, challenging to treat, and often disabling. They can be caused by many different factors, including (but not limited to): inherited genetic abnormalities, problems in the immune system, injury to the brain or nervous system, or diabetes. Most University of Chicago neurologists specialize in a particular disease or category of diseases. This focused specialization enables these physicians to become true experts in diagnosing and managing difficult neurological disorders. Many of these physicians conduct research in neuroimmunology, the unique relationship between the body's immune system and nervous system. Their research targets the cellular mechanisms which cause neurological functions to degenerate.

While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain is different. Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years. There may have been an initial mishap sprained back, serious infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain arthritis, cancer, ear infection, but some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage. Many chronic pain conditions affect older adults. Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself), psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system).

Neurological disorders affect children differently than they affect adults, and require care tailored to the child's developmental needs. Children with neurological problems benefit from the expertise of physicians who specialize in both neurology and pediatrics. At times, children are not eligible for clinical trials of new drug therapies. About Pediatric Neurological Disorders From infancy through adolescence, children can be affected with a variety of neurological problems. Among the most common disorders affecting children are epilepsy, cerebral palsy, brain tumors and muscular dystrophies. Pediatric neurologists at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital are experienced in diagnosing and treating children with these neurological disorders, as well as less common disorders such as neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis. They also have expertise to treat conditions which generally occur in adults, but which sometimes affect children, such as myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis Cerebral Palsy Epilepsy in Children Multiple Sclerosis in Children Muscular Dystrophy in Children ...
