Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first two-and-a-half years of life.12It is a spectrum disorder (Autistic Spectrum Disorder / ASD), meaning that it affects people differently.  Some children may have speech, whereas others may have little or no speech.13 Most autistic children are perfectly normal in appearance, but spend their time engaged in puzzling and disturbing behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children. Less severe cases may be diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger's Syndrome (these children typically have normal speech, but they have many "autistic" social and behavioral problems...

While studies are still being conducted on the medical benefits of Carnosine, the preliminary results are nothing less than astounding. Since Carnosine is found naturally in the brains and muscles of humans, the supplements have no negative reaction to other prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Instead, case studies have only underscored how Carnosine: the multi-potent healing agent has the potential to slow the aging process, help dementia and Alzheimer patients, children with autism, and other debilitating diseases. Carnosine is a super antioxidant that boosts the immune system and destroys the free radicals that contribute to the aging process, helping you live longer and have a greater...

You may have heard that the incidence of heart disease in France is far lower than in the U.S. Scientists spent a long time trying to figure out how that could possibly be when the traditional French diet - lots of cheese, bread, sauces, wine with every meal - includes pretty much everything we`re advised not to eat. After much research, they think they`ve found the secret - an excellent anti-aging ingredient you might want to add to your skin careroutine. What is the magic ingredient? It`s called resveratrol, is found in many red wines, and is an antibiotic produced by plants when under attack by bacteria, fungi and other substances that can cause disease or illness. Although the formal research...

SCA is a neurological hereditary disease known as Spinocerebellar Ataxia. Some symptoms of SCA are: - Loss of balance - Speech difficulties - Muscle spasms and weakness - Swallowing problems These are just a few of the debilitating problems that SCA patients endure each day. My husband was diagnosed with SCA five years ago. We thought that he had an inner ear infection,and after a few months went buy and he wasn't getting better, we were referred to a neurologist. After seeing many different doctors and specialists and enduring many painful tests, we were at a loss not having any answers as to why he was having all of these problems. Finally our doctor asked if any neurological diseases ran in the...

Vitamin C intake is often used to treat the common cold but there is recent evidence to suggest that this antioxidant vitamin might also be beneficial for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. The history of Vitamin C's use for medicinal purposes began in the mid 1500's when sailors realized that a tincture of tea made from a tree bark helped to combat the nasty effects of scurvy; a degenerative condition that results from a lack of fruits and vegetables (in other words, a Vitamin C deficiency). This disease was common in sailors on long voyages at sea. In animal models, Vitamin C intake has been shown to reduce the effects of lead-induced nerve damage. Similarly, human experiments involving high...

A lot of people decide to go on the pH diet because they have heard that it can help them to lose weight, but that's not the only reason to start it. There are a a lot of things that high acidity in the body is going to cause for the person, and these are things that should help people make the decision to start on the pH diet. Corrosion of veins, heart tissues and arteries One of the reasons that you should start the pH diet is because acidosis is going to do a lot of damage to your arteries, heart tissues and veins. Just like any other kind of acid, this type of acid weakens the structures of your heart. Premature aging and acceleration of free-radical damage Another reason to adopt the pH diet is...

In 1868, the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot discovered the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Back then MS was a very rare to find disease. Neither had it been mentioned in ancient literature like epilepsy for instance. Accordingly, MS is so to speak a modern disease. As time passed by MS has been diagnosed more often and today it is next to epilepsy one of the fastest growing neurological diseases in the world. Many triggers have been named as potential causes but none of them is the true trigger. Otherwise a medicine to totally and effectively suppress the symptoms would have been developed already long ago. From the medical point of view there is nothing but hope. This has changed now...

Potential of Stem Cell Treatments for Autism In June of 2007 an article was published in a peer-reviewed journal (1) proposing a role for stem cell therapy in treating autism. The account that follows provides a perspective on the implications and prevalence of autism, as well as a synopsis and a critique of the proposed use of stem cells to treat the major symptoms of autism disorder. Autism Autism is a complex brain developmental disorder that is characterised by impaired social interactions, communication difficulties, obsessive attachment to routines and repetition, and often an extreme dislike of certain sounds, textures and tastes. Autism usually surfaces in the first three years of life and...

Saffron, a well known spice used to give a unique flavor and a vivid yellow color to many dishes has been used for centuries in traditional medical systems to treat depression and other illnesses. Recently a number of clinical trials have shown that this spice is as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) and imipramine in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. The spice saffron is a yellow powder derived from the stigmata (styles) of the flowering bulb Crocus sativa. It is cultivated on a commercial basis primarily in Iran and to a lesser extent in India, Spain and a few other countries. Prior to the advent of cheaper, synthetic food colorings, saffron was also grown in other European countries...

Degenerative neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson have a severe social and economic impact and it is only quite recently that they have been recognised and accorded great attention by mainstream medicine. This is greatly due to the fact that age is the greatest risk-factor for such conditions and people are simply living longer and becoming susceptible to it. Unfortunately, modern medicine cannot cure Alzheimer's or Parkinson's and many sufferers and families undergo an extremely traumatic experience as loved ones are slowly lost to these awful conditions. However, there is mounting scientific and anecdotal evidence that nutritional supplements can play a key role in the...

Older people have long been seeking for a way to prevent the onset of dementia, with methods ranging from herbal remedies to computer games claiming to help keep the brain healthy. However, conditions such as Alzheimer's disease truly can be put off by frequently training the brain and doing mental exercises, a specialist has asserted. Dr Susanne Sorensen, head of research at the Alzheimer's Society, said there is a wealth of data to support the view that those with individual health insurance can take preventative measures by keeping the grey matter active. She pointed to recent studies published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, which suggested that people should consider...

Hospitals play a major role in the society as they provide healthcare services to patients.Increasing population and healthcare requirements and the complexity of diseases brought about radical changes in the concept of healthcare services in the country. Public healthcare system alone was unable to do justice in such a scenario. Healthcare services witnessed a tremendous growth with the entry of private multi-speciality hospitals. More and more hospitals were built to bridge the gap between demand and supply of healthcare services in a growing economy. As management of hospitals became a core issue, the demand for trained and efficient staff increased. Key Findings & Highlights In the present...

Playing Scrabble or other "thinking" board games is being shown by modern medical science to have many health benefits. No matter what your age, "brain sports" such as Scrabble have been proven to be of particular benefit for many aspects of human mental health. At the simplest and most obvious end of the spectrum, the social aspects of Scrabble and other board games can be a preventative or even a treatment for loneliness, depression and social phobia. At the other end of the spectrum, a study from the University of Southern California and published in the respected "Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences" shows that mentally stimulating recreational activities in early and middle adulthood...

One of the problems with many forms of weight loss surgery, and in particular absorptive forms of surgery such as the Roux-en-Y and vertical sleeve gastrectomy with duodenal switch, is that gastric bypass surgery not only reduces the number of calories which the body can absorb from the food eaten, but also prevents the take-up of the necessary level of vitamins and minerals. For this reason, anybody undergoing bariatric surgery must take vitamin and mineral supplements for the remainder of their life. Just how important this is was demonstrated by the recent publication of a study showing that a number of patients who had failed to take the supplements prescribed following surgery developed a...

Most of the hospitals are JCI accredited. JCI assesses the quality of patient care from the time a patient enters a facility to discharge, and utilizes the data to plan and implement changes that create optimal care. "The accreditation process requires a hospital to comply with almost 1,300 measurable standards. The JCI Accreditation for Hospitals is a recognition that it adheres to international standards of clinical care, safe environment, medication safety, respect for rights and privacy, international infection control standards and access to dedicated well-trained staff. Since Hospitals are JCI Accreditation has gained worldwide attention as an effective quality evaluation and management tool...

> In the article Dementia: Just What Is It, we have learned about a frightening term, Dementia, and just what it is or, rather, how it manifests itself in the human condition. I gave 5 examples from my personal knowledge, including myself. It would appear that “Dementia”, in its milder forms, is nothing more than a mild loss of memory. In its more severe, but still mild, forms, it can take the guise of mild disorientation; sometimes so mild that one is not even aware of being disoriented. The milder cases were likely referred to in olden times as “senility”. Something none of us ever aspired to. However, there is a new body of information accumulating, and now published, which indicates that...

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, was once believed to affect adults only. But researchers have found that children as young as seven years old can have this disorder. Bipolar disorder is a treatable neurobiological brain illness, characterized by severe fluctuations in mood and activity levels. Symptoms of bipolar disorders in children are hard to recognize because of their age-appropriate emotions and behaviors. Children suffer from the illness differently from adults. In adults, bipolar disorder is marked by mood cycling between periods of intense highs and lows. But in children, it often appears to be a rather chronic mood deregulation with a combination of elation...

Are the id and the ego both at an unconscious level? If only the id is at an unconscious level and the ego is at a conscious level then how is it possible for one to consciously fight against something that is unconscious? Suppose it were so, then it means that there must be a clear connection between the unconscious and the conscious level that one can tap into at anytime. Yet no one knows what is happening at our unconscious level. If they are both at an unconscious level then it means that we do not ever make our own choices. Every choice would be governed by the id and the ego at an unconscious level. But if we do not make our own choices then who does? Is it the id and the ego? If that is the...

Animal bites can be very frightening, and someone who receives an animal bite may be forever scarred, both physically and mentally. Although the event itself is scary, one real thing that people must worry about, especially with wild animal bites, is the transmission of the rabies virus. Rabies is a brain illness that causes death when not caught and treated immediately. Both wild and domestic animals have been known to leave their marks on people. Even beloved pets can cause an accident. For example, your dog might love you and serve as your protector, but certain things can trigger a dog to bite its master. This includes extreme fright, as well as possessiveness and even playfulness. Your dog may...

Aspergers Vs Autism Although multiple professionals disagree around a precise definition, the difference between autism and Asperger's syndrome appears to be a matter of severity and is tied to communication issues. Autism is renowned as a "spectrum" illness, as it has a wide variety of symptoms and associated conditions, the most rampant components involve unfavorable or impaired social skills, a very narrow interest range and sensory problems. Aspergers Vs Autism Autistic patients exhibit very rigid behavior with limited imagination. Autism is also characterized by limited verbal and non-verbal communication skills and difficulty in understanding or comprehending typical social relationships. When...

The brain is responsible for controlling all parts of the body. It is the center of our nervous system. All kinds of activity we do are first being processed by our brain like communications, emotions, senses, reasoning and other important human behavior. It is mandatory that we must also take good care of our brain. Below are the worst brain damaging habits you must avoid. Covering your head when sleeping Our brain needs fresh oxygen when we sleep. Depriving your brain with sufficient oxygen while sleeping will prevent the blood from entering to your brain. Skipping breakfast Breakfast is the most important time to eat. It refreshes all the nutrients our body needs for the day. Skipping breakfast...

These charts, with their wealth of anatomical diagrams and lengthy but comprehensible explanations, offer a complex, colorful, easily-followed map of the human brain and nervous system, and all the ills that can befall it. In fact, words alone do not do these charts justice; only seeing is believing. Take for example the anatomical flip chart called Understanding the Nervous System. This 13-page book, printed on UV-coated, full-sized, 12-point paper stock that allows for dry-erase marking (markers not included) provides physicians a way...

  Derived from a French word which means “half a head,” the term migraine certainly captures the painful experience. In most cases of migraine, the pain affects only one side of the head. This one-sided pain soon becomes a dull throbbing before becoming a full-blown migraine attack. While most people, including popular celebrity and historical figures like Elvis Presley, Napoleon, and Julius Caesar, experience migraine, a lot are still unclear on what migraine is and its possible causes.   Migraine is...   More than just an episode of severe headache, migraine is a neurological disease that usually has its causes in the vascular system. The over-distended arteries on the outside of the skull...

> In the Western world, good, clean food is in ready supply, and there is no real reason why anyone of us should suffer from malnutrition which is the result of inadequate nutritional intake. However, failure to understand the changing needs of our bodies, for instance, in pregnancy, illness, and as we grow older, land the dismaying lack of nutrition available in our food due to environmental factors, means that cases of malnutrition are on the increase in richer countries. The great Western diet has come up short for many people.The links between diet and disease are not fully understood as yet, but we do know that malnutrition can cause pathological illness affecting...

Stem Cell Markets A stem cell is an extraordinary type of cell that has the ability to self-renew for long periods of time and to differentiate into specialized cells under appropriate physiological or experimental conditions. Traditionally, stem cells have been classified as either embryonic, adult (tissue-specific or cord blood) stem cells. Recent understanding of stem cell biology may provide new approaches for the treatment of a number of diseases as well as tissue/organ injuries, including cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, musculoskeletal disease, diabetes and hematopoietic disorders.  ( ) Stem cell fate is determined by both intrinsic regulators and the extra-cellular environment...

Consumer Alert on Soft Drinks    As Daniel Reid, author of The Tao of Detox, explains, the sugary sweet, fizzy 'soft drink' is actually an 'acid bomb'. A 350 ml serving of Coke, Pepsi or similar drink delivers a sugar fix equivalent to about 9 teaspoons of sugar straight into the blood stream. This instantly acidifies the bloodstream to the extreme point that without an immediate emergency response from the body, it would kill you in a mater of minutes. To counter act this rise in pH, you'd have to drink 32 glasses of alkaline water to netralize the blood pH. Soft drinks contain carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of human metabolism and a primary contributing factcor to blood acidosis. In...

Dyspraxia has become the point of discussion for medical practitioners all around the world. The saddest part about this disease is the fact they are mostly seen in little children and teenagers. This neurological disease is generally acquired from birth and can rob a child of his entire childhood. More and more people are getting affected by this disease. In fact a few surveys conducted by some medical research teams have revealed that has much as two percent of the entire world population suffers from diseases like Dyspraxia. Dyspraxia is basically a disorder associated with the development of motor skills. Therefore children suffering from these diseases find it exceedingly hard to learn new...

Tremors in dogs can be a frightening experience for dog owners if you have ever witnessed them, or it can be something that you may get used to if they are frequent in your dog. The misconception that shaking develops only in small breeds or older dogs is just that; as this condition can affect any breed of dog and at any age and it is something you should never get used to. Tremors are not a normal set of conditions in your dog and they should be taken very seriously as something may be poisoning your pet. Tremors in dogs are a rhythmic set of involuntary movements that can affect certain parts of your pet's body, or it can affect the entire body. They are somewhat different in dogs than in humans...
