  • Batten disease

    Batten disease is the common name for a group of lysosomal storage disorders called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. There are 14 forms of the disease, and they primarily affect the eyes and the central nervous system. The diseases can be classified into four groups: infantile, late-infantile, juvenile, and adult-onset forms. Patients commonly present progressive cognitive and visual impairments, epileptic seizures, and deterio  Read More

  • Batten-mayou syndrome

    Batten-mayou syndrome is an inherited metabolic disorder. It is passed down through families, thereby triggering a genetic mutation in an individual. The batten-mayou syndrome is evident to affect the cell’s competency to break down cellular waste, thereby, eliminating it from the body. When the body is unable to get rid of the sugars, lipids and proteins, they start accumulating, in turn, affecting the nervous system an  Read More

    Foodborne botulism Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism typically begin between 12 and 36 hours after the toxin gets into your body. But, depending on how much toxin was consumed, the start of symptoms may range from a few hours to a few days. Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism include: Difficulty swallowing or speaking Dry mouth Facial weakness on both sides of the face Blurred  Read More

  • Brain aneurysm(cerebral aneurysm)

    A brain aneurysm(cerebral aneurysm) is a dilation along the arterial circulation within the brain. About 85% of the dilations occur in the anterior circulation, which supplies blood to the anterior parts of the brain. The causes include: hemodynamic stress on the internal elastic lamina, vibrations from the turbulence of blood flow, and T-lymphocytes and macrophages mediated inflammation. Patients with advanced age, hypertensi  Read More

  • Brain tumors, general

    A brain tumor, general, is the mass growth of abnormal cells in the brain. There are different types of brain tumors, some are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant). This can begin in the brain or some type of cancer begins in other parts of the body and spreads to the brain. The treatment of brain tumors depends on the location, size and type of tumor. 1.

  • Cold agglutinin disease

    Cold antibody hemolytic anemia (CAHA) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells (rbcs) by the body's natural defenses against invading organisms (antibodies). Normally, the red blood cells have a life span of approximately 120 days before they are destroyed by the spleen. In individuals with CAHA, the red blood cells are destroyed prematurely and the rate of production of new cells in the bone  Read More

  • Haddad syndrome

    Normal breathing is impaired by Haddad syndrome, a condition. People with this illness frequently hyperventilate while sleeping, which causes a deficiency in oxygen and an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood. The autonomic nervous system, which regulates unconscious bodily functions, would typically respond to such an imbalance by causing the person to wake up or breathe deeply. People with Haddad syndrome  Read More

  • Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency

    When a person has holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, their body is unable to metabolize proteins and carbs. Biotin is a vitamin that aids in the body's conversion of specific carbs and proteins into energy; however, people with this illness have difficulty utilizing it. Because it can result in a dangerous accumulation of organic acids and toxins in the body, holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency is regarded as an organic  Read More

    Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the body. Affected individuals lack enough functional levels of an enzyme required to breakdown homogentisic acid. Affected individuals may have dark urine or urine that turns black when exposed to air. However, this change may not occur for several hours after urination and often goes unnoticed. Aside from dark urine that is present fro  Read More
