expensive to treat, need round the clock care, projected to bankrupt medicare, medication to slow progress so they would need less care.

-idiopathic, may be same causes as CAD

-neurons in brain atrophy, brain gets smaller, (neurodegeneration) starts slow-symptoms appear in 60s (dementia).

-period of lucidity where they remember, just manage outcomes of disease, no treatment.

degenerative motor neuron disease; idiopathic; peripheral nervous system---Steven Hawking. no treatment, rare condition & Pharma doesn’t do much research.

-only affects motor, no affect on cognitive ability.

transient ischemic Attack- this to CVA, angina to MI, warning signs of a stroke. CVA- bursting of aneurysm kills distal neurons can lead to hemiplegia-- hemorrhagic stroke- aneurysm rupture and bleed, ischemic stroke-- blood clot blocks the vessel. slurred speech, no pain. Cerebral Angiography- to look for blockages/bleed.

autoimmune disease where myelin is being broken down by your own immune system.

-hard to transport electrical msgs across the axon, can result in paralysis, painful; autoimmune conditions can change intensity (remission), not fatal-- pain meds.

autoimmune post bacterial or viral infection-- attacks neurons, loss of muscle mass & coordination.

irreversible brain damage, permanent mental incapacity, could happen bc of umbilical chord in the womb or baby exposed to toxic environment. can deter cognitive and skeletal muscles.

CNS problem w/ neurotransmitter dopamine.

-uncontrollable movement (tremors)

-idiopathic

-neurostimulator transplant to help stimulate the brain and stop the effects of dopamine.

brain screaming out in pain or discomfort. epilepsy- (neurological condition of multiple seizures) random firing of neurons. cause could be increase in temp, toxins (drugs,alcohol), diabetes. (could be idiopathic).

capillary damage resulting in loss of vision bc of untreated diabetes.

-sugar in blood corrodes the capillaries and they explode in the retina (changes light to electrical signals for brain to interpret)

pressure increase in the eye (liquid filling)

-idiopathic and maybe family predisposition, pressure causes pressure on the retina and can lead to vision loss.

-optometrist screens for glaucoma(blow test) and is covered under insurance bc preventive.

age related atrophy of the macula; no cure

-macula- where the vision is concentrated (rods and cones), vision loss as macula atrophys.

spontaneous, idiopathic. retina detaches from eye, loss of blood supply, could lead to blindness, you can see and then you immediately can’t.

light refraction problem. the light doesn’t focus on the retina. see near not far.

dizziness, idiopathic unless Meniere’s. Menier’s abnormal fluid in semicircular canals, swelling, pressure. palliative care until it goes away. vertigo- spinning 24/7.

ringing in the ears, constant, idiopathic and no cure.

most deafness in conductive. conductive is old ppl + damage to the ears. bones went through damage and don’t vibrate that much anymore. neural is born deaf or accident to harm neurons. CON(hearing aide)NEU(cochlear implant)-implanted from cranium to cochlear.

traumatic brain injury/ chronic traumatic encephalopathy--CTE- trauma from concussions; football players. TBI- one time injury.
