Neurological Disorders

Sturge Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder. It is characterized by the abnormalities affecting the brain (pial angiomata), skin (facial port-wine birthmark) and eyes (commonly) glaucoma. It is a congenital, nonfamilial and sporadic condition associated with somatic mutation in GNAQ gene. Symptoms report varies in severity and age of onset, but it is commonly detected in infancy. This case illustration is that of a 4-year old who presented with fever and focal seizure with secondary generalization. Examination revealed quadriparesis, more marked in the right lower limb. Brain computerized tomography (CT) scan showed gyral calcification, atrophy of the cerebral hemisphere and early cerebritis. She was commenced on anti-epileptic drugs(AED), antibiotics and supportive care.

Imitation is considered as a platform for interdisciplinary studies where social sciences, cognitive psychology, neurobiology and neurocybernetics interact, as well as clinical psychology. It is often used to explore various and several scientific fields but few works have investigated a series of linked successive motor actions. The current work aimed to study and expand the findings regarding which information subjects of different populations selected and included for reproducing demonstrated model actions. 120 children of 6 age groups divided between 3 years and 8 years, associated to autistic and deficient children were tested in this present study. This developmental scale completed, should provide a baseline for understanding in what type of constraints the autistic child would be specifically deficient in the management of his imitation. The comparison with mentally deficient children also seemed indispensable. The children’s imitative responses were videotaped, coded in dichotomy data, and then put into percentage. Our expected goal is to characterize the traits of autistic motor skills in reference to normal and mentally deficient development.

Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is one of the best overall general prosperity challenges facing our period. Around the globe, no under 44 million people are living with dementia this number is depended upon to two overlaps by 2030 and more than triple by 2050 to 115 million. A critical piece of the development will be in making countries like Western Europe and North America. Authoritatively 62% of people with dementia live in making countries. Today, more than 35 million people general directly live with the condition. This number is depended upon to twofold by 2030 and more than triple by 2050 to 115 million. No drugs available to direct or stop the cerebrum hurt caused by Alzheimer's disease, a couple of pharmaceuticals can quickly help upgrade the symptoms of dementia for a couple of individuals. In two decades, it is assessed that 1.4 million Canadians will have dementia, costing the economy almost $300 billion consistently. Comprehensive, dementia cost $600 billion a year.

Objective: The objective of this study was to find out problems and resources of individuals with cerebral palsy with special emphasis on locomotion.

Methods: Total number of 53 subjects were included in the study. 38 subjects were male and there were 15 female in the study. The questionnaire was been explained to the guardians of all the subjects. Each and every component was explained clearly and locomotion was emphasized to find out their functional independence Level.

Results: There were different types cerebral palsy subjects included such as, Spastic tetraplegia, Spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, dyskinesia and mixed Cerebral palsy. Spastic tetraplegia (13%) and mixed (13%) were most common form of cerebral palsy followed by spastic diplegia (11%) Dyskinesia (2%) and do not know (2%) were least common.

Conclusion: The present study concluded that spastic tetraplegia and mixed cerebral palsy have maximum disability followed by hemiplegia and diplegia.
