Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions01:30

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

922
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
Thought Disorders
Disorganized and unusual thought processes mark thought disorders in schizophrenia. One key feature is disorganized speech, where an individual's conversation includes...

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders01:20

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders

1.5K
Gastrointestinal or GI motility disorders are characterized by irregular gastrointestinal tract movements, disrupting food transit from the mouth to the anus. They are caused by damage or dysfunction in gut muscles or nerves. These disorders can cause symptoms such as severe constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and swallowing difficulties. Disorders can affect any segment of the GI tract and range widely in severity, from common conditions like GERD to life-threatening conditions like...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

2.3K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Equilibrium and Balance

7.6K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.3K
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Movement Disorders

Background:

  • Paroxysmal movement disorders encompass paroxysmal dyskinesia and episodic ataxia.
  • These disorders can be primary (genetic) or secondary (acquired).
  • Classification is based on movement phenomenology (kinesigenic, non-kinesigenic, exercise-induced) or genetic basis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of paroxysmal movement disorders.
  • To assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients.
  • To highlight the genetic landscape and the need for further gene discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current knowledge.
  • Classification of disorders based on established criteria.
  • Summary of known genetic causes and implicated genes.

Main Results:

  • Identified key genes involved in primary paroxysmal movement disorders (e.g., PRRT2, SLC2A1, ATP1A3).
  • Acknowledged a significant number of genetically undiagnosed cases.
  • Emphasized the heterogeneity in presentation and etiology.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment require understanding the diverse causes and classifications.
  • Continued genetic research is crucial to identify novel genes.
  • This overview serves as a clinical guide for managing paroxysmal movement disorders.
