Chiari malformation

The Chiari Malformation is considered a congenital malformation, although there have been some reported cases of an acquired form. It's symptoms resemble those of other neurological diseases including PSP and MSA.

Meningiomas - What you need to know

Hemochromatosis

Too much iron in the blood can cause many problems including possibly encouraging the development of diseases of the central nervous system.

How disease kills brain cells

Conventional thinking on the way neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Huntington's kill brain cells is wrong according to new research reported from Canada.

Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure)

Hypotension is the clinical term for low blood pressure, which can mean inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain and other vital organs.

Hypotension - explains the two different types

With many types of parkinsonian type disease a major cause of patient falling and becoming injured is hypotension.

Hypotension - evaluation and treatment

Homeostatic control of blood pressure and heart rate requires frequent and rapid cardiovascular adjustments as an individual changes positions throughout the day.

Inflammation may spur diseases

Medical researchers are becoming increasingly convinced that inflammation may play a crucial role in the cause and progression of many diseases.

Intermittent claudication

Intermittent claudication is the name of the painful condition caused by the blood vessels in your legs being clogged by cholesterol deposits. The pain (and muscle spasms) exist when your leg muscles don’t get enough oxygen-rich blood for the amount of activity they’re being asked to do.

Myoclonus

Myoclonus is a term that refers to brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles.

Neurosy - A new label to cover all neurological diseases

In the same way that cancer patients do not need to identify the particular type of cancer that they are suffering from, for the public to `understand' their situation, there is perhaps a need for a generic name for all neurodegenerative diseases - `neurosy' has been suggested, but any short medically acceptable name with which the public could relate would be enormously helpful in engendering greater awareness and understanding by the general public of these often devastating diseases of the brain.

New brain ailment theory

Scientists have proposed a provocative new theory that may help explain brain ailments as diverse as Parkinson's disease and depression.

Spasmodic dysphonia

Spasmodic dysphonia is a rare neurological condition that affects a patient's voice.

What is chorea?

Chorea is an abnormal movement disorder caused by the overactivity of dopamine
http://www.pspinformation.com/disease/otherdiseases/dyskinesias_chorea.shtml

Oxadative stress and brain disorders

Free radicals can cause cell degeneration, especially in the brain. Scientists have found they may be a cause of a number of different neurological disorders.

Restless legs syndrome

Restless legs syndrome is a disorder characterized by sensory symptoms and motor disturbance of the limbs, mainly during rest.

Risk factors for brain health

Cardiovascular risk factors early in life may be an important predictor of cognitive function later in life.

The Hypertension - Brain Athrophy Link

Homeostatic control of blood pressure and heart rate requires frequent and rapid cardiovascular adjustments as an individual changes positions throughout the day.

Walking/gait abnormalities

The pattern of how a person walks is called the gait. The gait characteristic of Parkinson's disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is called a "propulsive gait.

What is leaky gut syndrome?

The leaky gut or LGS is a poorly recognised but extremely common problem.
