Tremor is the most common movement disorder, affecting around 5% of people over age 40. It involves alternating contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles causing symmetrical shaking. This document discusses the classification and diagnostic approach for tremors, including physical examination and use of rating scales to evaluate tremors based on phenomenology. A thorough assessment is needed to classify the tremor type and guide treatment.

Stress and disease
Stress can contribute to the development and worsening of diseases like autoimmune disorders according to several studies. Stress may act as a trigger for autoimmune diseases by affecting the immune system and its response. The effects of caregiving stress on families of Alzheimer's patients was the subject of a book that discussed families experiencing hidden strains of the disease. Journal articles provide collected data from various qualified sources on topics while newspapers report information from a single source.

This article summarizes a study on the challenges faced by patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and how it affects their quality of life. The study found that patients struggle to get an accurate diagnosis, experience a loss of independence and functionality as the disease progresses rapidly, and have difficulty learning to live with the limited treatment options for the life-limiting disease. Understanding the patient experience could help healthcare providers improve support for IPF patients and their quality of life.

Tuskegee experiement power point
The Tuskegee Experiment was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in African American males who thought they were receiving free health care from the Tuskegee Institute. Over 400 impoverished African American sharecroppers with syphilis were enrolled but never informed they had the disease or offered treatment even after penicillin became the standard treatment in 1947. By the end of the study, 28 men had died directly from syphilis, 100 more from related complications, and 40 wives and 19 children were infected. The study was terminated in 1972 after a public outcry.

Tuskegee Experiment
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men in Alabama. Researchers recruited 600 impoverished sharecroppers with syphilis but did not treat them even after penicillin became the standard treatment. The study was unethical as it intentionally denied patients effective treatment and knowingly allowed syphilis to spread to their partners and children. The study was exposed in 1972 and led to reforms to protect human subjects in research.

There are five classes of HIV drugs used to treat AIDS, including nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, fusion/entry inhibitors, and integrase inhibitors. Treatment should begin when the CD4 count drops below 500 or when severe HIV symptoms appear. While drugs have reduced viral loads and opportunistic infections, they require strict adherence to multiple daily pills and can cause side effects like nausea and bone problems. Doctors monitor treatment response by measuring viral load and CD4 counts every 3-4 months.

Publication Ethics, Medical Faculties - Dr Ashutosh
Dr. Ashutosh Potdar discusses several cases of potential publication misconduct and issues to consider regarding publication ethics. In the first case, a postgraduate student was advised to double the results of his study instead of collecting more data. In the second case, a professor demanded adding their name as a coauthor without contributing to the work. Potdar outlines categories of misconduct like falsification, fabrication, and unjustified authorship. The consequences of misconduct and reasons for it like career pressure are discussed. Potdar concludes with emphasizing guidelines like COPE and educating researchers on ethics.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is defined as the study of disease distribution, causation, and prevention in human populations. It aims to describe the magnitude of health problems, identify risk factors, and provide data to plan, implement, and evaluate disease prevention and control services. Some key measurements in epidemiology include mortality, morbidity, disability rates, and the distribution of disease characteristics and environmental/demographic factors. Epidemiology helps understand clinical evidence strength, increase information efficiency, and provide perspectives on determinants of health outcomes. It is used to historically study disease rise, diagnose communities, plan/evaluate services, assess individual risks, identify syndromes, and search for causes and risk factors.

The document summarizes key information about syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease:
1) Syphilis has four stages - primary, secondary, latent, and late (tertiary) - each with different symptoms that can vary and overlap. It is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
2) If not treated, syphilis can cause serious complications like blindness, neurological problems, heart issues, and even death. During the latent phase, which can last years, the bacteria continues damaging internal organs even when symptoms disappear.
3) Syphilis can also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy or childbirth, causing congenital syphilis.

Use Of Terlipressin In Septic Shock
The document examines the role of Terlipressin in treating refractory septic shock. It discusses how Terlipressin, a vasopressin analogue, has been used to treat conditions like variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome. Some studies have found Terlipressin effective for septic shock resistant to norepinephrine. However, the evidence is limited and more large randomized controlled trials are needed before recommending regular use of Terlipressin for septic shock.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

First rank symptoms %80%a0%a0%92%b6 seminar
The document discusses First-Rank Symptoms (FRS), a group of psychotic symptoms proposed by Kurt Schneider to distinguish schizophrenia from other psychotic disorders. It provides an overview of Schneider's original definition of FRS and their incorporation into diagnostic criteria. It also discusses various theories for the neurological and cognitive basis of FRS, and reviews clinical correlates found in studies of the occurrence and presentation of FRS in schizophrenia and other illnesses.
Biopsychosocial pain 2019
Pain is a common yet complex biopsychosocial phenomenon that affects every aspect of a patient’s life
Optimal management often requires good assessment, formulation of the problem in the patient, and combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological (psychological and social) interventions
Final Omt & Acup Stfm 27 April 2007
This document summarizes a presentation on integrating osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and acupuncture for a case of low back pain. It provides background on the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in the US. It then describes OMT techniques like soft tissue work and muscle energy that were demonstrated for low back pain. It also reviews the evidence and safety of acupuncture and integrates it as a potential treatment option.
Use Of Terlipressin In Septic Shock
The document examines the role of Terlipressin in treating refractory septic shock. It discusses how Terlipressin, a vasopressin analogue, has been used to treat conditions like variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome. Some studies have found Terlipressin effective for septic shock resistant to norepinephrine. However, the evidence is limited and more large randomized controlled trials are needed before recommending regular use of Terlipressin for septic shock.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

Conversion disorder is a psychiatric condition in which psychologi.docx
Conversion disorder is a psychiatric condition in which psychological stress manifests as some physical dysfunction. For example, stress associated with divorce proceedings might result in development of headaches, dermatological problems, breathing difficulties, and the like. In extreme cases, conversion disorder can result in abnormal movements, paralysis, or non-epileptic seizures. Poole, Wuerz and Agrawal (2010) recently reported that conversion disorder most frequently occurs in women, with a mean age of onset of approximately 29 years. One interesting feature of conversion disorder is that, in some cases, the effects of one individual can induce stress in other individuals, resulting in symptom manifestation in numerous people within an intimate population such as a school, workplace, or military squad (For review see: Bartholomew & Sirois, 2000). The phenomenon of multiple related cases of conversion disorder, once referred to as epidemic hysteria, is more commonly now referred to as mass psychogenic illness (MPI).
A variety of treatments for conversion disorder have been reported ranging from hypnosis (Moene, Spinhoven, Hoogduin & van Dyck, 2002) to drug therapy (Stevens, 1990). Moene and colleagues (2002) note that behavior therapy with operant conditioning may be successful in reducing symptoms in conversion disorder patients. It is reasonable to assume that such behavior therapy could be effectively administered in a group of patients. Furthermore, given the nature of social cue influences on this disorder, as seen with MPI, successful treatment of one or more individuals in a group setting could have residual positive effects on others within the group.
It is well established that positive behaviors can be shaped through modeling in a therapeutic setting. Researchers have shown, for example, that phobic behaviors can be reduced when one phobic individual watches another phobic individual (or a confederate acting as a phobic individual) calmly engaging in the fear provoking behavior (e.g. Geer & Turteltaub, 1967). Furthermore, it is possible for a single individual to evoke modeling behavior among a group, particularly when the behavior being exhibited is viewed positively by the members of that group (Peterson, Kaasa & Loftus, 2008).
With all of this information considered, the present study was designed to determine if individuals exhibiting effects of MPI would respond positively to behavior therapy in a group setting. It was further hypothesized that using a confederate, acting as a patient within the group, could enhance positive effects of therapy if that confederate reported positive influences of the therapy that could then be modeled by other members of the group. To test this hypothesis, a group of women, all diagnosed with chronic conversion disorder manifesting in abnormal movements and facial tics, were assigned to one of three groups. The first group received behavior therapy in a group setting that.

Dementia And Aggression Psy 492 M7a2 Levea. B
The document summarizes several studies that examined ways to reduce aggression in dementia patients through improved care methods. The studies found that:
1) Aggression decreased when medications like haloperidol were reduced or withdrawn and patients received care in special dementia units.
2) Caregiver training on understanding dementia and patient-centered care led to fewer aggressive behaviors from patients, lower caregiver stress, and less need for physical restraints.
3) Understanding factors like medical issues, communication problems, and patient histories that could influence behaviors helped develop more effective multi-faceted care approaches.
With better training and patient-centered care, facilities saw reduced costs from things like medications and hospitalizations, along with improved

Clinical Problem
Social Anxiety is described by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American
Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) as a persistent fear of social situations where the person is
exposed to people or to possible scrutiny by others and fears that he/she will display
symptoms of anxiety or be perceived in a way that will be embarrassing and humiliating
(American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This topic was chosen as according to Kessler et
al. (2012) social anxiety is among the most common anxiety disorder affecting 13% of
individuals at some stage in their lives. From experience, and according to Krysta et al.
(2015) medication is the first line treatment for anxiety disorders due to accessibility.
Unfortunately, for people experiencing social anxiety most medications have adverse effects
such as increased agitation and sexual dysfunction (Rosen et al 1999) and some medication,
in particular benzodiazepines are highly addictive (Lader and Kyriacou, 2016). Townend et
al. (2008) report that CBT remains the psychological therapy with the widest and broadest
evidence base. Beck et al (1979) define Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a concept
where an individual’s emotions and behaviours are based on the way that they interpret the
world through their cognitions. NICE (2011) (cited in Clark, 2011) recommend psychological
therapies prior to medication for anxiety disorders however due to a lack of therapists in
mental health services this is not the case in clinical practice which led to the rationale for the
following research question.

Clinical question
Are psychological interventions more efficacious than pharmacological interventions to help
reduce social anxiety disorder (SAD) symptoms in adults?
Bragge (2010) explains that answerable clinical research questions have four essential
components known as PICO. This therapy type question was developed using these
components (P) Population: adults that experience social anxiety (I) Intervention:
Psychological interventions (C) Comparator: Pharmacological Interventions (O) Outcome:
reduction of social anxiety symptoms.
Search Strategy and Outcome
A systematic literature search was carried out using electronic databases which were
individually accessed via Queens Online, including MEDLINE, Science Direct, PschINFO
and Cochrane (see Appendix 1). Roberts and Dicenso (1999) suggest that questions in
relation to interventions and their effectiveness are best answered by randomized control
trials or based on the hierarchy of evidence, systematic reviews. BestBets.org was also
accessed for evidence based synopses.

Flail Arm Syndrome: An Atypical Variant of Motor Neuron Disease
Flail Arm Syndrome (FAS) is an atypical form of Motor Neuron Disease characterized by predominantly proximal, progressive and symmetric wasting and paresis of the upper limb muscles, while lower limbs and bulbar muscles are spared. Diagnosis is made clinically and supported by electrodiagnostic studies and genetic testing. There is no cure, so treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Prognosis is generally better than ALS, with prolonged survival.
Dentatorubral Pallidoluysian Atrophy.pptx
Dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a progressive, autosomal dominant disorder caused by an abnormal CAG repeat, characterized by symptoms such as ataxia, myoclonus, epilepsy, and progressive cognitive and motor deterioration. It typically has an adult onset and poor prognosis, with death often occurring within 15 years of symptom onset. Diagnostic evaluation includes genetic testing, EEG, and brain MRI showing nonspecific atrophy. Treatment is supportive and multidisciplinary to address symptoms.
Anti-MAG Neuropathy.pptx
This document summarizes myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) neuropathy. It presents as a chronic, slowly progressive large-fiber sensory-motor polyneuropathy, usually affecting the lower extremities initially. Diagnosis involves detecting anti-MAG antibodies and demonstrating demyelination on electrophysiology. While the condition progresses slowly over decades, it can ultimately cause significant muscle weakness, wasting, and ataxia. Current treatments focus on B cell depleting therapies like rituximab, while future therapies may involve antigen-specific immunotherapy.
Trigeminal Trophic Syndrome.pptx
Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition characterized by cutaneous ulceration in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, most commonly the infraorbital nerve, due to self-inflicted trauma from facial dysesthesia. It results from damage to the trigeminal nerve pathway from various etiologies like iatrogenic nerve injury, cerebrovascular disease, or malignancy. Clinically, patients present with trigeminal anesthesia, facial paresthesia, and crescent-shaped nasal ulcers. Treatment is multidisciplinary and includes behavioral modification, neurologic evaluation, pain management, and various medical therapies.
Acute Exacerbation of Trigeminal Neuralgia.pptx
Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition of the trigeminal nerve that causes sudden, severe facial pain. It can be primary due to blood vessel compression or secondary from tumors or multiple sclerosis. While treatments aim to reduce long-term symptoms, there is limited evidence on interventions for acute exacerbations that provide pain relief within 24 hours. Most rescue options provide less than 24 hours of relief, so a more comprehensive care plan is needed. Future studies on potential acute rescue analgesics like lidocaine, sumatriptan, and magnesium sulfate are still needed.
Management of Motor Fluctuations in Parkinson Disease.pptx
- Motor fluctuations are a common complication of Parkinson's disease that occur in approximately one-third of patients after 2 years of levodopa therapy. They involve unpredictable switching between "on" periods where symptoms are relieved and "off" periods where symptoms return.
- Management of motor fluctuations involves both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. Non-pharmacologically, diet, exercise, and treating constipation may help. Pharmacologically, increasing levodopa doses, adding COMT inhibitors, dopamine agonists, or MAO-B inhibitors can help reduce off periods.
- There is no single best treatment, as the appropriate treatment depends on each individual patient's fluctuation patterns, symptoms, risk factors, and other considerations
Role of Clopidogrel in Minor Stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack.pptx
This document discusses the role of clopidogrel in treating transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke. It defines TIA and stroke, and explains that clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation. It reviews several clinical trials that evaluated the efficacy of clopidogrel combined with aspirin in secondary stroke prevention. The recommendations from health organizations like AHA/ASA and ESO are that clopidogrel can be used for secondary stroke prevention in ischemic stroke. For high-risk TIA or minor stroke patients who are not at high bleeding risk, the recommendation is dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin for 21 days, followed by single antiplatelet therapy thereafter.
Transient Epileptic Amnesia.pptx
Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a form of focal epilepsy characterized by recurrent episodes of retrograde or anterograde amnesia. During episodes, patients exhibit repetitive questioning and confusion but otherwise intact neurological function. Diagnosis requires witnessed amnesic episodes, intact cognition otherwise during episodes, and evidence of epilepsy from EEG, seizures, or response to anti-seizure medication. TEA can be differentiated from conditions like transient global amnesia and is frequently underdiagnosed in older adults.
Management of Benzodiazepine Misuse and Dependence.pptx
The document discusses the management of benzodiazepine misuse and dependence. It notes that long-term benzodiazepine use has been associated with increased risks, harms, and mortality. The management of benzodiazepine dependence involves preventing misuse through short prescriptions, substituting to longer-acting benzodiazepines or other drugs, gradually tapering doses to avoid withdrawal symptoms, and using psychotherapy or other pharmacological interventions during tapering. Abrupt discontinuation can cause seizures, so slow tapering is generally recommended.
Mild Malformation of Cortical Development with Oligodendroglial Hyperplasia a...
This document discusses MOGHE (Mild Malformation of Cortical Development with Oligodendroglial Hyperplasia and Epilepsy), a recently recognized and highly epileptogenic histopathological entity involving the frontal lobes that causes drug-resistant epilepsy. MOGHE is characterized by blurred gray-white matter boundaries, heterotopic neurons in white matter, and an increased number of oligodendroglial cells. It represents an emerging histopathological entity associated with frontal lobe epilepsy that can be difficult to treat surgically.
Cerebral Superficial Siderosis.pptx
Cerebral superficial siderosis is characterized by linear hemosiderin deposits in the leptomeninges and superficial layers of the cerebral and cerebellar cortices, brainstem, and spinal cord. It can present as either classical infratentorial or cortical superficial siderosis. Potential etiologies include cerebral amyloid angiopathy, vascular malformations, head trauma, and other conditions. Diagnosis is made through MRI brain imaging. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve surgery to repair vascular abnormalities.
Frontotemporal Brain Sagging Syndrome.pptx
This document discusses frontotemporal brain sagging syndrome, a potentially treatable disorder characterized by apathy, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, and orthostatic headache. Imaging shows sagging of the brain similar to spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Symptoms can mimic frontotemporal dementia. The syndrome is caused by mechanical forces on the frontal and temporal lobes from spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Early diagnosis and treatment are important as it is a reversible condition.
Epidural Blood Patch.pptx
An epidural blood patch involves injecting the patient's own blood into the epidural space to treat a post-dural puncture headache that has not responded to conservative treatments like bed rest. It has an 85% success rate initially and up to 90% with repeated patches. The procedure involves identifying the epidural space and slowly injecting 5-25mL of blood drawn from the patient over 30-60 seconds. Complications can include worsening headaches from additional dural rents, back pain, or infection at the injection site.
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.pptx
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a medical condition caused by loss of cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal, resulting in headaches and neurological symptoms. It most commonly presents with orthostatic headaches that are less apparent over time. Brain MRI and spine MRI are used to diagnose and locate CSF leaks. Treatment involves conservative measures, percutaneous patching of leaks, or surgical closure. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension can lead to complications like subdural hematomas if not properly diagnosed and treated.
Clinical Evaluation and Management of Facial Nerve Trauma
This document summarizes the clinical evaluation and management of facial nerve trauma. It discusses that facial palsy occurs in 20 per 100,000 people, with 16% being traumatic from temporal bone fractures. The duration, mechanism, and location of the injury provide important clues for evaluation and prognosis. Diagnostic tests include CT, MRI, and electrodiagnostic testing. Management options include conservative treatment with steroids and physical therapy or surgical decompression of the facial nerve, with earlier surgical intervention found to have better outcomes.
Argyrophilic Grain Disease.pptx
Argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by argyrophilic grains in neuronal processes. It is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. AGD prevalence increases with age to over 30% in centenarians. Clinically, AGD typically presents as a slowly progressive mild cognitive impairment, often with early emotional or personality changes. Diagnosis of AGD can only be made post-mortem by brain biopsy.

Anti-IgLON5 disease is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by tau deposits in the hypothalamus and brainstem. It is caused by autoantibodies against the IgLON5 protein. Clinical features include sleep disorders, bulbar dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and gait instability. Diagnosis involves detecting IgLON5 antibodies in serum or cerebrospinal fluid along with clinical signs. Neuroimaging shows brain atrophy and white matter changes. Treatment involves long-term immunotherapy but prognosis is generally poor with high mortality.
Globular Glial Tauopathies.pptx
The document discusses globular glial tauopathies (GGTs), a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by cytoplasmic tau protein inclusions. GGTs include progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and argyrophilic grain disease. They are defined by inclusions predominantly composed of tau isoforms with four microtubule-binding domains. GGTs are characterized neuropathologically by tau-positive globular oligodendroglial inclusions and granular astrocytic inclusions, which are mostly Gallyas-negative. These features help distinguish GGTs from other four-repeat tauopathies, particularly progressive supranuclear palsy.
The Tauopathies.pptx
This document discusses tauopathies, which are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by abnormal tau aggregates in neurons and glial cells. Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that promotes cytoskeleton structure and axonal transport in the nervous system. In tauopathies, tau becomes pathological and forms inclusions like paired helical filaments. Tauopathies show heterogeneity in clinical presentations depending on the type and location of tau aggregates. Classification is based on the tau isoforms involved, with 4-repeat tauopathies including progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration. Understanding tau aggregation mechanisms and their role in toxicity is important for developing targeted therapies for these diseases.
Primary Progressive Aphasia.pptx
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by a gradual deterioration of language abilities over time due to left-hemisphere brain atrophy. It is classified into three main variants - logopenic, nonfluent agrammatic, and semantic - based on distinct language profiles and brain regions affected. Diagnosing PPA and differentiating between variants can be challenging due to overlapping language impairments, clinical variability, and disease progression over time. Management involves a multidisciplinary approach, though treatment options are limited as there is no cure currently.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
