Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.0K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

848
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

971
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

2.8K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

756
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Calyceal diverticula are rare renal collecting system anomalies.
  • Their management presents significant clinical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in calyceal diverticula management.
  • To discuss the pros and cons of various surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature analysis and summary.
  • Focus on recent technological improvements and surgical approaches.

Main Results:

  • Contrast-enhanced CT is the preferred imaging modality.
  • Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) offers effective treatment with reduced risks.
  • Flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) and percutaneous approaches are key.
  • Robotics play a supporting role.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment choice depends on diverticulum location and anatomy.
  • Future management balances efficacy and invasiveness.
