ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
ABOUT:
• Alzheimer’s disease is a disease that cause mild memory loss to
someone who’s suffering from it. It is a brain disorder mostly
occurred in the age of 65 above. Unfortunately, there is no cure
for Alzheimer’s, though there are certain therapies and
medications for temporarily help to restrain the symptoms. As
the time goes by, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in every patient
gets worse. Also Alzheimer’s disease or AD is well-known as the
most common cause of dementia.

WHAT PART OF NERVOUS SYSTEM IS
AFFECTED BY ALZHEIMER?
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) typically destroys
the neurons of the brain causing a
malfunction to the brain system which
involves the memory. It also affects the
entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Along
with affecting the cerebral cortex.
•SYMPTOMS FOR ALZHEIMER:
THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOM OF
ALZHEIMER’S IS MEMORY LOSS.
PROBLEMS WITH LANGUAGE,
DISORIENTATION OF TIME AND
PLACE, MISPLACING THINGS,
PROBLEMS WITH ABSTRACT
THINKING , AND IMPAIRED
JUDGEMENT IS SOME OF THE
SYMPTOM WE MIGHT EXPERIENCE.
•CAUSE OF ALZHEIMER:
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IS CAUSED BY
THE ABNORMAL BUILD-UP OF PROTEINS
IN AND AROUND THE BRAIN CELLS.
SCIENTISTS ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT IS
CAUSED BY A COMBINATION OF
GENETIC, LIFESTYLE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT
AFFECTS THE BRAIN. NOT GETTING
ENOUGH SLEEP FOR A LONG TIME ALSO
CAUSES THE INCREASE OF THE LEVEL OF
PROTEIN IN THE BRAIN CALLED TAU.
•HOW TO PREVENT ALZHEIMER:
Alzheimer’s disease can’t actually be
prevented but we can reduce the risk of
having it. By managing and controlling
our daily life style. Like having more and
active physical life style, maintaining a
healthy weight, avoiding excessive
drinking, eating healthy foods, and
getting enough sleep. Inshort, get a
healthy lifestyle.
•SOLUTION FOR ALZHEIMER:
Aducanumab is a monoclonal antibody that
targets aggregated forms (plaque) of amyloid
beta (Aβ) found in the brains of people with
Alzheimer’s disease to reduce the risk of having
it. it’s also consider of one of the best way to
meditate the alzheimer disease. Other treatment
below:
•Lecanab = For early stage of Alzheimer.
•Revastigmine/Gelantamine = Mild to moderate
stage.
•Donepzil = Treatment for all stages of Alzheimer.

 MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE (MND)
• ABOUT:

Motor neurone disease (MND) it is the name for the group of disease that affect
nerves known as motor nerves, or motor neurons. MND causes the muscles to
become weaker and weaker. That will eventually leads to paralysis.
The MND disease group includes:
•Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
•progressive muscular atrophy (PMA)
•progressive bulbar palsy (PBP)
Etc.
WHAT PART OF NERVOUS SYSTEM
AFFECTED BY MND?
• MND OCCURS WHEN MOTOR NEURONS, WHICH ARE SPECIAL
NERVE CELLS IN THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD, STOP WORKING
PROPERLY AND DIE PREMATURELY. THIS IS REFERRED TO AS
NEURODEGENERATION.
•SYMPTOMS OF MND:
MND is a continuous or progressive
disease that often starts slowly and
moderately until it gets worse. The
Symptoms of MND usually begin with a
one part of the body such as:
weakness in their hands and grip
resulting to slurred speech
weakness in their legs that may result to
trip weakness of their shoulder, resulting
in lifting difficulty
cramps and muscles twitching
•CAUSE OF MND:
The precise cause of MND is unknown and
cannot be contracted from another person.
MND is thought to be caused by a combination
of environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors.
The majority of MND cases develop without a
clear cause. 1 in every 10 cases is ‘familial,’
which means the condition is inherited. This is
due to a genetic mutation or a gene error.
If you have an MND-related genetic mutation,
your children have a 50/50 chance of inheriting
it as well.
 THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT MND BECAUSE
“ THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE. CERTAIN DIETARY FACTORS,
SUCH AS INCREASED ANTIOXIDANT AND VITAMIN E INTAKE,
HAVE BEEN SHOWN IN SOME STUDIES TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF MND. THIS MAY IMPROVE SURVIVAL FOR PATIENTS IN THE
EARLY STAGES OF THE DISEASE OR DELAY THE NEED BY
TRACHEOSTOMY (BREATHING TUBE IN THE THROAT). ”
CAN MND BE PREVENTED?

SHINGLES
• ABOUT :
Shingles is one of the problems of people because shingles is a
rash where it will grow on the face when you have it it will be
painful, it also grows in some parts of the body it is also called a
blister, it will develop within seven up to ten days and it only
disappears after two to five weeks.
WHAT PART OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS
AFFECTED BY SHINGLES?
• WHEN THE VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS IS ACTIVE, IT SPREADS THROUGH
OUR BODY, IT FLOWS THROUGH THE SPINAL CORD ROOTS TO THE SKIN.
THE ROOT IS KNOWN AS THE MESSENGER OF PRESSURE, IRRITATION AND
PAIN. IT PASSES THROUGH OUR SPINAL CORD TO OUR BRAIN, IT
BECOMES COMPLICATED BECAUSE IT CAUSES SERIOUS DISEASES SUCH
AS STROKE OR MENINGITIS OR WHAT WE CALL INFECTION OUTSIDE THE
BRAIN OR SPINAL CORD.
• SYMPTOMS FOR SHINGLES: • CAUSE OF SHINGLES:
• PAIN, BURNING OR TINGLING. • THE PRESENCE OF THE DISEASE CAUSED BY
• SENSITIVITY TO TOUCH. THE VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS. THE
• A RED RASH THAT BEGINS A FEW DAYS AFTER THE PAIN. VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS CAUSES
• FLUID-FILLED BLISTERS THAT BREAK OPEN AND CRUST SMALLPOX IN OUR BODY, WHEN IT HEALS IT
OVER. WILL NOT GO AWAY, IT WILL ONLY REMAIN
- OR WHAT WE CALL BLISTERS THAT CONTAIN FLUID DORMANT OR INACTIVE. IT CAN BE
THAT CAUSES OUR PAIN WHEN SHINGLES BREAKS OUT ACTIVATED LATER, UNTIL IT CAUSES
IN OUR BODY SHINGLES. MOST PEOPLE WHO GET SHINGLES
• ITCHING ARE 50 AND OLDER.
 HOW TO PREVENT SHINGLES?
• WE CAN AVOID THIS DISEASE WHEN WE ARE COMPLETE WITH
THE VACCINE WE HAVE SOMETHING CALLED SHINGRIX IT IS
EFFECTIVE IN STOPPING OR NOT HAVING SHINGLES AND
COMPLICATIONS ONE OF THEM IS POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA
OR WHAT IS CALLED LONG-TERM PAIN IN SOME PARTS OF OUR
SKIN WHERE THERE IS DEVELOPING SHINGLES, MOST AT RISK IS
THE AGE OF FIFTY AND ABOVE.
