Huntington disease (HD) is a very uncommon neurodegenerative condition of the central nervous system and it is characterised by dementia, irrational movements, a behavioural and mental health issues. In the Caucasian population, prevalence is thought to be between 1/10000 and 1/20000. 30 to 50 years old on average is when symptoms first appear. Juvenile Huntington's disease (JHD) symptoms often appear before the age of 20 and include behavioural issues and academic challenges. The typical symptom is chorea, which gradually affects all muscles. All psychomotor functions experience substantial retardation. Patients experience cognitive deterioration and psychological problems. HD is brought on by a long (36 or more repeats) CAG repeat on the short arm of chromosome 4p16.3, a hereditary autosomal dominant condition in the gene for Huntington. The earlier the illness develops, the longer the CAG repeat. Only healthy adult at-risk persons who want to know if they carry the gene or not should have pre-manifest diagnosis done by multidisciplinary teams. Other causes of chorea, such as general internal illnesses or iatrogenic disorders, are included in differential diagnosis. The CAG repeat increases in length as the disease progresses sooner. In JHD patients, the repetition rate typically exceeds 55. Only healthy adult at-risk individuals who are interested in learning whether they carry the gene or not should have multidisciplinary teams perform pre-manifest diagnostics. Other causes of chorea, such as general internal illnesses or iatrogenic conditions, are included in the differential diagnosis. Chorionic villus samples and amniocentesis are two methods that can be used for prenatal diagnosis....
A patient with difficulty in using left hand since last 2 days before admission to the hospital with k/c/o hypertension for 10 yr and history of numbness of left hand for past days. His blood investigations showed Vitamin D deficiency. MRI brain showed acute infarct in right frontoparietal, centrum semiovale, right post central gyrus, chronic infarct with gliosis in right premotor gyrus. We present the case of a 77 yr old man who had a cerebrovascular accident. He was on medical management, started on with anticoagulants and neuroprotective. A stroke also referred to as a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack is an interruption in the flow of blood to cells in the brain....
Co-morbid depression refers to depression that occurs in the presence of another illness. People with chronic (long-term) physical illnesses, especially those with conditions that produce a lot of pain, restriction of activity or a poor outlook are all prone to developing depression on top of their existing illness. Physical illnesses that are commonly associated with co-morbid depression include: Cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of counseling among co-morbid depressive disorder patients in selected hospitals, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. A pre experimental one group pre test post test research design was adopted. The 50 comorbid depressive patients were selected by simple random sampling. Beck depression inventory were used for data collection. The findings shows that the post test depression scores were 30(60%) minimal depression, 18(36%) mild depression, 2(4%) moderate depression and the effectiveness of counseling among co-morbid depressive disorder patients was found out through paired 't' test (t=17.529) at p<0.001. According to mean there was significant difference between pre and post test level of depression score decreased from 25.5 to 12.72 and t-value is after giving counseling. The counseling is very much effective on reducing depression among co-morbid depressive disorder patients....
