Diseases of the nervous system (neurology)

Brain atrophy

Brain atrophy is a process of gradual death of cerebral cells and destruction of interneuronal connections. The pathological process can spread to the cerebral cortex or subcortical structures.

Parkinsonism

Parkinsonism is a pathological condition characterized by a slow but progressive course and is manifested by a decrease in the speed of movement, muscle stiffness and tremors of the limbs.

Treatment of a pinched sciatic nerve

Inflammation or pinching of the sciatic nerve can be treated with conservative therapy, but sometimes surgical intervention is required.

Sciatic nerve entrapment

The fibers of the sciatic nerve emerge from the pelvic cavity and branch out on both sides of the thigh down to the very tips of the toes. The most common neuralgic problem is sciatic nerve entrapment.

Artificial coma

An artificial coma, from the point of view of clinical medicine, is a temporary immersion of the patient into an unconscious state, in which there is a deep inhibition of the activity of the cortex and subcortex of the brain and a complete shutdown of all reflex functions.

Polyneuropathy after chemotherapy

Polyneuropathy after chemotherapy occurs due to toxic damage to nerve fibers and certain areas of the brain by the drugs used. Patients are primarily concerned about the resulting weakness.

Vibration sickness

Vibration disease is an occupational disease, the characteristics and symptoms of which are polymorphic.

Cephalgia

There is probably no disease that would bother humanity as much as cephalalgia, or headache. Today, no one is surprised by this pathology, which bothered even small children.

Cerebellar atrophy

Cerebellar atrophy is a clearly expressed, rapidly progressing pathology that develops due to disruptions in metabolic processes, often associated with structural anatomical deviations from the norm.

Taste disturbance

In everyday life, a person quite often encounters such a case as taste disturbance (hypogeusia).
