“Diseases mongering”, than a simple definition would be enforced "to promote or sell disease". The main and common characteristhics of all these "diseases" is that they are amenable to treatment with drugs. So, the pharmaceutical industry redefining the concept of disease, the normal and pathological. In Neurology exploits the deepest atavistic fears of suffering and death. We select some disea...

Age-related cognitive decline is a well-known phenomenon, called by various means such as ageassociated memory impairment and age associated cognitive impairment. Since cerebral aging is idiopathic, so due to lack of pure reasons it’s diagnosis is typical and also it’s not being recognized at early ages by person too. As per the reports by 2050, it is anticipated that Americans aged 65 or older...

The drug 3, 4 diaminopyridine (DAP) is a potassium channel blocker, closely related to 4-aminopyridine. Like 4-AP, DAP blocks the voltage-sensitive potassium channel. However, unlike 4-AP, DAP does not cross the blood brain barrier unless the barrier is broken. DAP therefore should be well suited for treating peripheral demyelination and have less central nervous system mediated side-effects. M...

Neuronal cell function is largely dependent on polarity. Studies in the past decades indicate that the neuronal polarity machinery is one of the major targets of neurological disorders. Planar cell polarity (PCP) and apicobasal (AB) polarity modules were shown to be crucial for the establishment of neuronal polarity. Accordingly, neural tube defects (NTDs) have been associated with mutations in...

The objective of the 3D Atlas, according to the Introduction, is to address neurological disorders resulting from brain damage. A bold assertion. However, there is justification for such a claim as the primary author, Wieslaw Nowinski has produced 35 such brain and neurological atlases. He has a significant number of publications to his name and has received awards and honours for his research....

The purpose of this article was to provide a literature review of occupational neurological disorders and related research in Korea, focusing on chemical hazards. We reviewed occupational neurological disorders investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute of Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency between 1992 and 2009, categorizing them as neurological disorders o...

The role of saccadic adaptive processes in recovery from the effects of various neurological disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, extraocular muscle palsies, and age-related macular degeneration, is reviewed. Studies of clinical populations (e.g. cerebellar disease, mild closed head injury, and opsoclonus) in which intrasaccadic displacement of visual targets has been used to stimulate adaptat...

Levetiracetam (LEV) is a new antiepileptic drug that is clinically effective in generalized and partial epilepsy syndromes as sole or add-on medication. Nevertheless, its underlying mechanism of action is poorly understood. It has a unique preclinical profile; unlike other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), it modulates seizure-activity in animal models of chronic epilepsy with no effect in most anima...

T he sense of taste is generally regarded as less important compared with vision and hearing. However, gustatory disorders considerably diminish the pleasures of life and can lead to work-related problems. At its worst, this deficit may become a life-threatening hazard. However, few studies are found in the medical literature on taste disorders, including authoritative textbooks of neurology an...
