Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations that last over a year. The exact causes are unknown but may involve abnormal brain activity or chemical imbalances in the brain. Common signs and symptoms include eye blinking, head jerking, shoulder shrugging, facial grimacing, throat clearing, yelping, jumping, making random noises, and smelling. A diagnosis is made based on observation and evaluation as there are no formal tests, though scans and tests may rule out other conditions. While most cases do not require medication, treatment options include medication, counseling, and psychotherapy.

Tourette's syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics. While the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to involve abnormalities in certain brain regions and there is a genetic component. The signs and symptoms usually first appear in children before age 18, most often between ages 5-7, with tics occurring in the head or neck area and ranging from simple to complex movements or vocalizations. There is no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but symptoms typically improve in late adolescence or early adulthood, and medication or therapy can help minimize tics.
Tourette Syndrome Presentation

Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive decline and psychiatric problems. It is caused by a mutated gene on chromosome 4 that results in an abnormal protein damaging brain cells. Symptoms start with mood or movement changes and progress to uncontrolled movements and loss of mental abilities. Currently there is no cure, but medications can help treat symptoms.
Huntington’S Disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder caused by a defective gene on chromosome 4 that results in abnormal repetitions of a CAG sequence in DNA. It is inherited from a parent and causes progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. Symptoms include involuntary movements, cognitive decline, and psychiatric problems. There is no cure, but medications can help manage symptoms.
Tourette syndrome & other tic disorders
Tourette syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics that begin in childhood. It is caused by abnormalities in brain circuits involving the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus. Treatment involves psychoeducation, pharmacotherapy using dopamine antagonists, behavior therapy such as habit reversal training, and treatment of common comorbidities like OCD and ADHD. While there is no cure for tics, treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Tics and tourette's syndrome
Tics are involuntary, repetitive movements that affect 1-2% of children. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics that typically begin in childhood. Tics can range from simple movements like eye blinking to more complex actions and inappropriate vocalizations. Tourette's syndrome is often accompanied by conditions like ADHD and OCD. While tics can cause distress, treatment options include behavioral therapies and medication to control symptoms.
Tourette disorder
Tourette syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Tics typically begin between ages 2-15 and are more common in males. Common motor tics include eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, and head jerking. Vocal tics can include repetitive sounds, words, or phrases. The exact cause is unknown but involves genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis involves multiple motor and vocal tics occurring several times daily for over a year before age 18. Treatment options include medications to control tics or related conditions like ADHD as well as behavior therapy and psychotherapy.

This document provides an overview of tic disorders, including epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, classification, comorbidity, and treatment. It notes that tic disorders are characterized by sudden, rapid motor or vocal tics and affect 4-12% of children at some point in development. The causes are thought to involve genetic and neurobiological factors interacting with psychological influences. Diagnosis involves medical history and examination to rule out other conditions. Treatment includes psychoeducation, medication management, and addressing any comorbid disorders like ADHD or OCD.
Behavioral and psychological effects of Huntington’s disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. It is caused by an expanded CAG repeat on chromosome 4, which results in the production of a mutant Huntingtin protein. Huntington's disease has autosomal dominant inheritance, so each child of an affected individual has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. Symptoms include jerky movements, cognitive and psychiatric issues like depression, lack of insight, and aggression. Behavioral and psychological symptoms are a major challenge and include mood changes, psychosis, disinhibition, and irritability. Treatment focuses on managing behavioral symptoms with medication and caregiver support.
Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder caused by inheriting a defective gene, which results in the gradual destruction of neurons over time. The defective gene can be passed down from parent to child, with the child having a 50% chance of inheriting it if a parent has the gene. Symptoms appear between ages 30-50 and include fidgeting, twitching, clumsiness, memory loss, depression, and problems with movement and coordination. Huntington's affects both the mind and body as the disease progresses. While there is no cure, medications can help control movement and emotional symptoms.

Tourettes disorder
Tourette's disorder is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary, rapid, and repetitive motor and vocal tics. It was first described in 1885 by George Gilles de la Tourette based on observations of patients exhibiting motor and vocal tics as well as coprolalia, palilalia, and echolalia. The lifetime prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 100 people, with onset typically around age 7. Co-occurrence of conditions like ADHD and OCD is also common. While the exact causes are unknown, genetic factors and abnormalities in dopamine transmission in the brain are thought to play a role. Treatment may involve behavioral therapy and medication to manage symptoms.
HUNGTINGTON'S CHOREA
Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a defective gene that results in the production of an abnormal protein called huntingtin. It affects movement, cognition, and personality. Symptoms include uncontrolled movements, impaired walking and talking, and mood and cognitive changes. There is currently no cure, but treatments can help manage symptoms. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and typically appears in middle adulthood.
What is HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE?
Huntington's disease is an inherited disorder that results in the degeneration of brain cells. It causes movement, cognitive, and psychiatric disorders. Symptoms usually appear between ages 30-40 and include involuntary movements, impaired voluntary movement, cognitive decline, and psychiatric issues like depression. Huntington's disease is caused by a mutated HTT gene that results in an elongated huntingtin protein. This protein forms toxic fragments in neurons that lead to their dysfunction and death. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, so only one copy of the mutated gene is needed. Larger CAG repeat lengths in the gene cause earlier onset and more severe symptoms.
Huntington’s disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder that typically causes movement, cognitive, and psychiatric problems. It is caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the Huntington gene, which leads to damage and death of nerve cells in the brain over time. The signs and symptoms of Huntington's disease usually appear between ages 30 and 50 and worsen over 10 to 25 years, progressing through distinct stages of mild, moderate, and severe problems with movement, thinking, and behavior. While there is no cure for Huntington's disease currently, medications and therapies can help manage some of the symptoms.
Diagnosis of huntington's disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes the degeneration of brain cells. It is characterized by progressive movement, cognitive, and psychiatric impairment. The disease is caused by a defective gene that results in an abnormal protein that builds up in brain cells and causes their death. Diagnosis is based on examinations of motor and sensory symptoms, neuropsychological testing, and genetic testing to detect the defective gene. While there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms, but not stop the progression of the disease. Researchers are studying potential treatments like gene therapies, stem cell transplants, and drugs to slow the course of Huntington's disease.

Tourettes
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It is caused by changes in brain chemicals like dopamine. While genes may play a role, the condition is not fully hereditary. Tourette's commonly begins in childhood and improves in late teens/early adulthood, though it is generally lifelong. Treatment focuses on managing severe symptoms through medications that block dopamine receptors or other drugs, as most cases do not require medication.
Tourette's Syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a brain condition that causes involuntary vocal and motor tics. Vocal tics include sounds like throat clearing or animal noises, while motor tics involve movements of the eyes, tongue, head or other body parts. It is thought to have a genetic cause and may be linked to issues during pregnancy like lack of oxygen or stress. Doctors diagnose Tourette's based on symptoms and medical history, and treatment focuses on managing tics through medication or other methods.

Symptoms typically begin between ages 2-12 and include blinking, shoulder shrugging, and head jerking. In some cases, involuntary words or sounds may be uttered. Males are 3-4 times more likely than females to develop Tourette syndrome. While there is no cure, treatment aims to control tics and may include medications that impact dopamine levels or deep brain stimulation.
Touretteproject
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It typically emerges between ages 2-12 and is more common in males. The tics can range from mild to severe and may involve blinking, shoulder shrugging, or involuntary words. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and imbalances of neurotransmitters like dopamine are thought to play a role. There is no cure, but treatment aims to control tics and may include medications that target dopamine or Botox injections for vocal tics.
Peer graded assignment
This document discusses Tourette Syndrome, a neurobiological disorder that the author's younger sister has. It begins by describing her sister's symptoms from childhood tics to inappropriate words as she grew older. It then explains the mechanisms in the brain involved, focusing on dysfunction in the thalamus, basal ganglia and frontal cortex. Circuits connecting these areas are implicated in causing involuntary movements. The document concludes by noting there are no diagnostic tests, and treatment typically involves medications to suppress tics, though these can have side effects.

A Guide to Vertigo
https://www.crystalrunhealthcare.com/specialties/otolaryngology | Vertigo involves the feeling of spinning, leading to dizziness and nausea. It can be a very distressing condition, but it is treatable. Your medical provider will investigate the cause of your vertigo symptoms and plan your treatment accordingly, which may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery.
Thyroid.ppt
The thyroid gland controls metabolism and produces hormones that regulate body processes. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid overproduces hormones, causing symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. It can be diagnosed through blood tests measuring thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is the opposite condition characterized by an underactive thyroid and symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Both conditions are treated through medication and sometimes radioactive iodine or surgery to address the underlying causes. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help people live healthy lives despite having an imbalance in their thyroid hormone levels.

Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome
This poem provides insight into living with Tourette syndrome from the perspective of a child with the disorder. It describes how children with Tourette syndrome experience a range of emotions and sometimes get teased due to their tics, which can include involuntary movements and vocalizations. However, the poem emphasizes that the disorder was not chosen by the children but rather "chosen" them, in order to promote understanding from others about the involuntary nature of the symptoms. The poem aims to help others remember that the tics associated with Tourette syndrome are not intentional actions by those who live with the neurological condition.

Tinnitus symptoms
Tinnitus research is important to understand the causes and effects of tinnitus. Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. It can be caused by damage to hair cells in the inner ear from loud noises, ageing, medications, tumors, or other auditory problems. Tinnitus research uses techniques like PET scans and tests of the auditory system to better understand tinnitus and how the brain is affected. The goals of tinnitus research include developing more effective treatments and facilitating coping strategies to reduce the impact of tinnitus on daily life.

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.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
