ALS

from Wikipedia:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as LouGehrig's disease, is a form of motor neuron disease caused by thedegeneration of neurons located in the ventral horn of the spinalcord and the cortical neurons that provide their efferent input. Thecondition is often called Lou Gehrig's disease in North America, afterthe New York Yankees baseball player who was diagnosed with thedisease in 1939. The disorder is characterized by rapidlyprogressive weakness, muscleatrophy and fasciculations, spasticity, dysarthria,dysphagia, andrespiratory compromise. Sensory function generally is spared, as isautonomic, and oculomotor activity. ALS isa progressive,[1] fatal, neurodegenerative disease with most affectedpatients dying of respiratory compromise and pneumonia after 2 to 3years; although some perish within a year from the onset of symptoms,and occasional individuals have a more indolent course and survive formany years.[2]

Brain tumor

from Wikipedia:A brain tumor is an intracranial solid neoplasm, a tumor (defined as an abnormalgrowth of cells) within thebrain or the central spinal canal.

Any brain tumor is inherently serious and life-threatening because ofits invasive and infiltrative character in the limited space of theintracranial cavity. However, brain tumors (even malignant ones) are notinvariably fatal, especially lipomas which are inherently benign. Braintumors or intracranial neoplasms can becancerous (malignant) ornon-cancerous (benign); however, the definitions of malignantor benign neoplasmsdiffers from those commonly used in other types ofcancerous or non-cancerous neoplasms in the body. Its threat leveldepends on the combination of factors like the type of tumor, itslocation, its size and its state of development. Because the brain is wellprotected by the skull, the early detection of a brain tumor only occurswhen diagnostic tools are directed at the intracranial cavity. Usuallydetection occurs in advanced stages when the presence of the tumorhas caused unexplained symptoms.

Primary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posteriorcranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they canaffect any part of the brain.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_tumor

Parkinson's disease

From Wikipedia:

Parkinson's disease (alsoknown as Parkinson

disease, Parkinson's, idiopathic parkinsonism, primaryparkinsonism, PD, or paralysis agitans) is a degenerative disorder ofthe central nervous system. It results from the death of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain; thecause of cell-death is unknown. Early in the course of the disease, themost obvious symptoms are movement-related,

including shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait. Later, cognitive andbehavioural problems may arise, with dementia commonly occurring in the advanced stages of the disease. Othersymptoms include sensory, sleep and emotional problems. PD is more common in the elderly with most casesoccurring after the age of 50.

Symptoms of cancer metastasis depend onthe location of the tumor.

Cancer and creation of new cells

from wikipediaCancer /ˈkænsəәr/ ( listen), known medically as a malignant neoplasm, isa term for a large group of different diseases, all involving unregulatedcell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably,forming malignant tumors, and invade nearby parts of the body. Thecancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body throughthe lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors arecancerous. Benign tumors do not grow uncontrollably, do not invadeneighbouring tissues, and do not spread throughout the body.Healthy cells control their own growth and will destroy themselves if theybecome unhealthy. Cell division is a complex process that is normallytightly regulated. Cancer occurs when problems in the genes of a cellprevent these controls from functioning properly. These problems maycome from damage to the gene or may be inherited, and can be causedby various sources inside or outside of the cell. Faults in two types ofgenes are especially important: oncogenes, which drive the growth ofcancer cells, and tumor suppressor genes, which prevent cancer fromdeveloping.

Coma

Source: WikipediaA coma is a profound state of unconsciousness. According to the contemporary medicineworld, a person in a coma cannot be awakened, fails to respond normally to pain, light orsound, does not have sleep-wake cycles, and does not take voluntary actions.

Coma may result from a variety of conditions, including intoxication, metabolicabnormalities, central nervous system diseases, acute neurologic injuries such as stroke,and hypoxia. A coma may also result from head trauma caused by mechanisms such asfalls or vehicle collisions. The underlying cause of coma is bilateral damage to the reticularformation of the hindbrain (also known as the rhombencephalon), which is important inregulating sleep. Coma usually necessitates admission to a hospital and often the intensive

care unit.

Epilepsy

Source: WikipediaEpilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovokedseizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive orsynchronous neuronal activity in the brain.Epilepsy is usually controlled, but cannot be cured with medication and surgery is sometimesbeen considered in difficult cases. Epilepsy should not be understood as a single disorder,but rather as syndromic with vastly divergent symptoms but all involving episodic abnormalelectrical activity in the brain.

Multiple Sclerosis

Source: WikipediaMultiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the nervous system. The inflammation ofthese nerves makes communications difficult and the system begins to fail. The patternseems to vary from person to person and therefore the symptoms also vary. Theinflammation and loss of the myeline or the outer nerve coating gets damaged and thisleads to and creates a scar or sclerosis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronicobstructive lung disease (COLD), chronic obstructive airwaydisease (COAD), chronic airflow limitation (CAL) and chronic obstructiverespiratory disease (CORD), is the co-occurrence of chronicbronchitis and emphysema, a pair of commonly co-existing diseases ofthe lungs in which the airways become narrowed.[1] This leads to alimitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs, causing shortness ofbreath (dyspnea). In clinical practice, COPD is defined by itscharacteristically low airflow on lung function tests.[2] In contrastto asthma, this limitation is poorly reversible and usually getsprogressively worse over time. In England, an estimated 842,100 of50 million people have a diagnosis of COPD.[3]
