CNS Infections
Acute CNS infections fall broadly into three categories—meningitis, encephalitis, and abscesses—and generally result from the blood-borne spread of the respective microorganisms. The most common causes are enteroviruses (e.g., Coxsackie A & B, echovirus). Herpes simplex virus (HSV, types 1 and 2), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), mumps virus, and HIV may also cause viral meningitis.
Chronic Back Pain
Chronic back pain is usually age-related, but can also result from a prior injury. The most common causes include: Arthritis of the spine —the gradual thinning of the cartilage inside the spine. Spinal stenosis —narrowing of the spinal canal that may lead to nerve pain.
Vertigo
Vertigo is a sensation that the environment around you is spinning in circles. It can make you feel dizzy and off balance. Vertigo isn't a disease. Rather, it's a symptom of varying conditions. Vertigo can have causes that aren't due to an underlying disease. Examples include spinning in circles or medication side effects.
Dementia
A group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning. Not a specific disease, dementia is a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment. Symptoms include forgetfulness, limited social skills, and thinking abilities so impaired that it interferes with daily functioning.
EEG
An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.
EMG
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
Movement Disorders
The term "movement disorders" refers to a group of nervous system (neurological) conditions that cause abnormal increased movements, which may be voluntary or involuntary. Movement disorders can also cause reduced or slow movements.
Sleeping Disorders
Changes in sleeping patterns or habits can negatively affect health. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) RLS is a condition that causes your legs to move or shake because of an unpleasant sensation Insomnia. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD). Sleep Apnea. Narcolepsy
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages
