Migraine with aura is a recurring headache preceded or accompanied by sensory disturbances called aura. Aura symptoms include temporary visual disturbances like flashes of light, blind spots or zigzag lines. Aura usually lasts less than 60 minutes and can involve tingling, numbness or speech difficulties. Treatment focuses on preventing migraines with aura using the same medications and self-care as migraines without aura. See a doctor immediately if experiencing aura symptoms to rule out potential medical issues.

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss and blindness. It has no initial symptoms but causes peripheral vision loss over time if untreated. The most common type, open-angle glaucoma, happens when fluid in the eye builds up due to poor drainage, raising pressure on the optic nerve. Detection methods include visual acuity and field tests, eye exams, and tonometry to measure eye pressure, with early detection and treatment often preventing serious vision loss.

Glaucoma and Treatment of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of related eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve that carries information from the eye to the brain. Treatment for glaucoma can involve surgery, laser treatment or medication, depending on the severity
Bell’s palsy
Bell's palsy is characterized by sudden, unilateral facial paralysis that develops over 48 hours. Early symptoms include weakness of facial muscles, poor eyelid closure, ear pain, taste alterations, and numbness of the cheek or mouth. Diagnosis is based on the clinical history and physical exam findings of unilateral facial paralysis without signs of central nervous system, ear, or brainstem involvement. Treatment involves a 5-day course of high-dose corticosteroids if started within 72 hours, along with eye protection and antiviral medication to prevent secondary infection.
Pilocarpine use in glaucoma
Pilocarpine is an eye drop medication used to treat glaucoma by reducing the pressure inside the eye. It works by stimulating muscarinic receptors in the eye, causing the iris sphincter muscle and ciliary muscle to contract. This contraction allows fluid to drain from the eye more easily, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. Pilocarpine should not be used by patients with uveitis or pupillary block glaucoma, or those with an allergy to pilocarpine. Common side effects include blurred vision, eye pain, headaches, and nausea.
Sleep apnea and homeopathy treatment
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. There are three main types - obstructive, central, and complex. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type, occurring when soft tissues in the throat relax and block the airway. Signs and symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and increased risk of accidents. Risk factors include being overweight, male, older than 50, or having a family history of sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems like diabetes or heart disease. Homeopathy treatments are customized to each patient and can help reduce complications of sleep apnea without side effects.

Bell's palsy 8 26 2010
Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles on one side of the face, caused by swelling of the facial nerve. The symptoms include an inability to smile or close one eye, and develop suddenly over 1-2 weeks after a viral infection like the flu or mono. While it can be frightening, most people recover fully within 1-3 months as the nerve heals, though a small number may have some permanent weakness; treatment focuses on rest, nutrition, and dealing with emotional impacts.

Headaches IN CHILDREN by dr alam zeb
This document discusses different types of headaches including migraine, tension-type headache, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It describes the characteristics of each such as location and quality of pain, intensity, duration, and associated symptoms. It provides guidance on when further examination or brain imaging may be needed like in cases of new neurological symptoms, recent head trauma, or changes in headache characteristics. Keeping a headache diary for at least 8 weeks is recommended to help identify triggers and patterns.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder characterized by unpredictable seizures. A seizure occurs when there is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain caused by chemical changes in nerve cells. Seizures can cause changes in awareness, movement, sensations, and behavior. Before a seizure, some people experience warning symptoms like disorientation or strange feelings. During a seizure, people may lose awareness, have convulsions or tremors. After a seizure, there is typically a recovery period where people feel confused or tired as the brain returns to normal.
Insomnia Causes
Transient insomnia can be caused by stressful life events like illness, injury, surgery or job loss, and usually resolves when the triggering situation is over. Chronic insomnia has longer-lasting causes like age, as people get older they sleep less deeply and are more easily awakened, alcohol disrupts sleep cycles, caffeine from drinks like coffee can prevent falling asleep, and depression is associated with worries and imbalances that disrupt sleep. The document provides more details on various causes of transient and chronic insomnia.
Headache in ENT
Headaches have many causes and are classified into three main categories: primary, secondary, and cranial neuralgias. Primary headaches include tension, migraine, and cluster headaches. Secondary headaches can result from head/neck trauma, blood vessel disorders, non-vessel diseases, medications, environmental changes, and psychotic disorders. Sinusitis is a common cause of headaches, accounting for 20% of cases, with symptoms like nasal discharge and facial swelling. CT scans and physical exams are used to diagnose sinus headaches and check for sinus blockages.
Neurological history taking
The document provides guidance on neurological history taking. It outlines the necessary prerequisites, proforma, goals, and descriptions for evaluating common neurological presentations such as headache, visual disturbances, loss of consciousness, seizures, speech and motor disorders, sensory changes, and alterations in mental state. Key areas of history include onset, duration, frequency and characteristics of symptoms, as well as family, personal, medical and medication histories. A thorough neurological examination aims to localize lesions in the nervous system and determine the nature of any pathology.
Epilepsy
This document provides information about epilepsy and nervous system diseases. It discusses the types of seizures that can occur as part of epilepsy, including tonic-clonic, tonic, clonic, myoclonic, absence and atonic seizures. It also describes the post-ictal state and psychosocial impacts of epilepsy. The causes of epilepsy include genetic and acquired factors like tumors, strokes and head trauma. Diagnosis involves tests like EEG, CT scan and MRI, while treatment options are anticonvulsant drugs, surgery, special diets and alternative therapies.
Parkinsons, stroke
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually and include tremors, slowed movement, rigid muscles and impaired posture and balance. Risk factors include age, heredity, sex, and environmental toxins. Complications involve cognitive and emotional changes. The disease results from cell death in the basal ganglia and presence of Lewy bodies. Diagnosis involves CT/MRI scans and treatment includes levodopa and dopamine agonists.
Neurology
1. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures from abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. Common symptoms include involuntary muscle contractions and shaking. Treatment was historically based on nervous system depressants, but now focuses on newer antiepileptic drugs.
2. Alzheimer's disease causes memory loss and cognitive impairment. Early symptoms are subtle memory loss worsening over time. Currently there is no cure, but medications can help control symptoms.
3. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative process affecting motor pathways in the brain. Symptoms include tremors and impaired movement. Treatment focuses on medications to manage symptoms.
Dementia
Dementia is a broad term describing symptoms that affect memory and thinking abilities, hindering daily activities. It damages nerve cells in the brain. Dementia can be caused by conditions like Alzheimer's disease or head injuries, and symptoms include memory loss, difficulty communicating, and behavioral changes. Doctors evaluate patients' thinking abilities, neurological functions, medical histories, and more to diagnose dementia and rule out other potential causes.

Differential diagnosis of dementia subtypes HY
This document differentiates between several subtypes of dementia based on their characteristic symptoms and imaging findings. Alzheimer's disease typically presents with early memory loss, language problems, and later personality changes. Vascular dementia shows stepwise cognitive decline and executive dysfunction associated with cerebral infarction. Frontotemporal dementia commonly involves early personality and behavioral changes along with frontotemporal brain atrophy.
Papilloedema
This document describes the stages and clinical features of papilloedema, which is optic disc swelling caused by increased intracranial pressure. It outlines 4 stages: early, fully developed, chronic, and atrophic. Early stage shows obscured disc margins and mild hyperemia. The fully developed stage shows elevated optic discs up to 1-2mm with obliterated cups and hemorrhages. Chronic stage discs appear dome shaped with resolved hemorrhages. The atrophic stage results in optic nerve atrophy and visual field loss after 6-9 months if pressure is not reduced. Treatment requires reducing intracranial pressure through imaging, hospitalization, and possibly decompression surgery.
Types of neurocognitive disorder
This document discusses major and mild neurocognitive disorders. It defines neurocognitive disorders as involving cognitive decline and impairment, with mild disorders having slight decline in one function and major disorders having severe decline in one or more functions. It lists several types of neurocognitive disorders including Alzheimer's disease, vascular disorders, frontotemporal disorders, and disorders due to traumatic brain injury, Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, prion diseases, and substance abuse. Symptoms vary but include memory loss, confusion, impaired language and motor skills. Treatment involves testing, medication, and psychosocial support.
Migraine Headaches: Causes, Symptoms, Types and Treatments
Now a days, everyone is going through stress and it becomes the problem of headaches. So if you are suffering from headaches or migraine headaches then this post is for you.
English work migraine
The document discusses the different types of migraines including abdominal, cephalic, basilar-type, and menstrual migraines. It defines migraines as a genetic neurological disorder characterized by painful headache attacks that are different from regular headaches. Migraines are caused by hyperactivity in parts of the brain and can be triggered by different factors for different people. Doctors diagnose migraines based on a combination of symptoms after ruling out other conditions, and the two main types are migraines with aura and without aura. Migraine attacks typically last 4-72 hours but symptoms may persist longer.
Migraine
A 35-year-old female patient has been experiencing recurrent severe headaches over the last 4 months, with unilateral pulsating pain lasting over 6 hours accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting. She prefers sitting in a dark room during attacks and is unable to be active. Migraine should be suspected in patients presenting with recurrent headaches that are unilateral, pulsating, long-lasting and inhibit daily activities, especially in women aged 20-50. Migraine is characterized by moderate to severe throbbing headache on one side of the head and can present with aura, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, or other neurological symptoms. Treatment involves managing acute attacks and considering prophylaxis for frequent episodes.

Migrane
Migraine is a common type of headache disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that can cause severe throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. It is believed to involve changes in brain activity and inflammation of the blood vessels around the brain. Migraines can be further classified based on whether an "aura" occurs before the headache, as well as other associated neurological symptoms. Common triggers include hormonal changes, stress, foods, and environmental factors. Treatment involves managing acute attacks with over-the-counter or prescription medications as well as lifestyle changes and preventive medications to reduce frequency and severity of migraines.
Do you know what causes headache and migraine
The document discusses different types of headaches, their causes and treatments. It describes tension headaches as caused by stress or fatigue and treated with over-the-counter painkillers. Migraines are more severe and involve light/sound sensitivity, nausea and last longer, treated with NSAIDs, paracetamol or prescription medications. Hangover headaches result from dehydration after alcohol and eye strain headaches from too much screen time. Sinus headaches occur with sinus issues. Viral headaches accompany infections while cluster headaches are severe, one-sided headaches that often occur at night.
Migraine
Migraine is a neurological disease characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines typically involve four stages - prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome - and are caused by changes in brain chemicals and blood vessels in the brain. Common triggers include hormonal changes, foods, drinks, stress, sensory stimuli, and medications. Treatment involves both acute pain medications to stop an attack and preventive medications to reduce frequency and severity.
Migraine
Migraine is a severe headache that causes throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. It typically affects one side of the head and can last for hours or days. Some people experience aura, sensory disturbances such as flashes of light, before the headache starts. Migraine often begins in childhood or early adulthood and involves four stages - prodrome, aura, attack, and postdrome - though not everyone experiences all stages. Triggers can include hormonal changes, foods, stress, sensory stimuli, sleep patterns, and medications. Treatment involves both pain relievers during attacks and preventive medications taken daily. Self-care like stress reduction, avoiding triggers, and getting enough sleep can also help

Managing Migraines
This document provides information about managing migraines, including what causes them, common triggers, and strategies for prevention and treatment. It begins by defining migraines and explaining that they are severe headaches that often have accompanying symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. It then discusses common migraine triggers such as stress, hormonal changes, certain foods and medications, as well as environmental factors. The document provides tips for lifestyle changes to help manage migraines and prevent attacks, such as getting sufficient sleep, eating regularly, and avoiding known triggers. It also discusses medication options for both preventative treatment and pain relief during attacks.
Migraine.pptx
Migraine is a common type of headache characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe pulsing or throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. Migraine attacks can last for hours or days and are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. There are four phases of a migraine - prodrome, aura, attack, and postdrome. Treatment involves both acute medications like triptans to stop symptoms during an attack, as well as preventive medications that can be taken daily to reduce severity or frequency of migraines. While the exact causes are unknown, migraines involve changes in brain chemistry and activation of pain pathways in the brain.
Clinical Approach to Migraine ward case.pptx
Migraine is a type of headache characterized by recurrent moderate to severe throbbing pain on one side of the head lasting 4-72 hours. It is caused by activation of nerve fibers in brain blood vessels, and common symptoms include light/sound sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting. Risk factors include female sex, family history, depression/anxiety, and certain triggers like hormonal changes, stress, foods, and sleep changes. There are several types of migraine including those with and without aura, as well as menstrual, silent, vestibular, and abdominal migraines. Diagnosis involves history and tests to rule out other causes, while treatment depends on frequency and includes lifestyle changes, medications, and in rare cases surgery.

Bellspalsy 130915141951-phpapp02-converted
Bell's palsy causes sudden weakness on one side of the face due to swelling and inflammation of the facial nerve, likely due to a viral infection. Symptoms include facial drooping, inability to smile or close an eye. While usually temporary, some experience permanent symptoms. Treatment involves corticosteroids and antivirals to reduce swelling and stop virus progression. Physical therapy helps prevent muscle atrophy. Surgery is no longer recommended due to risk of nerve damage.

Human skeleton
The human skeleton starts with 270 bones at birth and reduces to 206 bones by adulthood, consisting of an axial skeleton including the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, and appendicular skeleton with shoulder and pelvic girdles and limb bones. The skeleton functions to support movement, protect organs, produce blood cells, store minerals, and regulate hormones, and can be affected by diseases like osteoporosis, scoliosis, and arthritis.

Types of fuels used in vehicles
Vehicles can use different types of fuels including petro, diesel, electricity from hybrids and batteries, and hydrogen. Hybrid electric vehicles use both a gas engine and electric motor, while plugin hybrids can be charged by plugging in and driven further on electricity. Electric vehicles run solely on electricity from batteries that must be charged.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.TEST BANK For An Introduction to Brain and Behavior, 7th Edition by Bryan Kol...

Migraine with Aura
- 3. Overview Migraine with aura (also called classic migraine) is a recurring headache that strikes after or at the same time as sensory disturbances called aura. These disturbances can include flashes of light, blind spots and other vision changes or tingling in your hand or face. Treatments for migraine with aura and migraine without aura (also called common migraine) are usually the same. You can try to prevent migraine with aura with the same medications and self-care measures used to prevent migraine.
- 4. Symptoms Migraine aura symptoms include temporary visual or other disturbances that usually strike before other migraine symptoms — such as intense head pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine aura usually occurs within an hour before head pain begins and generally lasts less than 60 minutes. Sometimes migraine aura occurs with little or no headache, especially in people age 50 and older.
- 5. Visual signs and symptoms Most people who have migraine with aura develop temporary visual signs and symptoms. which tend to start in the center of the field of vision and spread outward. These might include: • Blind spots (scotomas), which are sometimes outlined by simple geometric designs • Zigzag lines that gradually float across your field of vision • Shimmering spots or stars • Changes in vision or vision loss • Flashes of light
- 8. Other disturbances Other temporary disturbances sometimes associated with migraine aura include: • Numbness, typically felt as tingling in one hand or on one side of your face that may spread slowly along a limb • Speech or language difficulty • Muscle weakness
- 9. When to see a doctor See your doctor immediately if you have the signs and symptoms of migraine with aura, such as temporary vision loss or floating spots or zigzag lines in your field of vision. Your doctor will need to rule out more-serious conditions, such as a stroke or retinal tear.
