Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

2.0K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

1.3K
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...

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders

742
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...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

485
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

1.0K
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...

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

254
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Movement Disorders
  • Clinical Diagnosis

Background:

  • Movement disorders are common in children, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • A wide range of etiologies exist, including genetic, infectious, immune-mediated, and drug-induced causes.
  • Hyperkinetic disorders are more prevalent than hypokinetic disorders in pediatric populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of common pediatric movement disorders.
  • To present a simplified clinical approach for diagnosis and management.
  • To incorporate the latest evidence on classification, features, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Narrative review based on contemporary evidence and expert experience.
  • Medline search for recent advances, consensus, and classification.
  • Focus on clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Movement disorders are broadly classified into hyperkinetic and hypokinetic types.
  • Common hyperkinetic disorders include dystonia, chorea, tics, and tremor.
  • Diagnosis relies on age of onset, movement characteristics, and associated neurological/systemic features.

Conclusions:

  • A synopsis of pediatric movement disorders, updated with current evidence, is presented.
  • A simplified diagnostic approach for dystonia and chorea has been developed.
  • Management of pediatric movement disorders is complex and evolving.
