As the population in the developed world continues to age, neuroimaging for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases becomes increasingly important and there has been a recent surge of clinical and pre-clinical applications[books.google.com]
This approach may provide increased accuracy for clinicians when discussing a patient’s prognosis; thereby assisting affected individuals in making important decisions for their future,” Dr Philpott said.[monash.edu]

The prognosis depends on the severity of the spasticity and the underlying disorder(s). TD is a muscle disorder that results from prolonged exposure to some types of antipsychotic and neuroleptic medications.[aans.org]
Abstract Background Neurodegenerative diseases (ND) consist of divers affections of the central nervous system related to etiology, localization, and of course of the disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, we are still left with a large number of progressive diseases of unknown etiology, and their classification is based on pathologic and clinical findings.[dartmouth.edu]
Methods Based on epidemiological data, the current neurological bibliography of ND has been considered. Additional ophthalmological data containing age-related retinal diseases were included in a comparative manner.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

More information about the gene products and understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms will open the way to specific treatments. The most common degenerative disease is Alzheimer's disease and the second most frequent is Parkinson's disease.[neuropathology-web.org]
As time passes, it is quite likely that the specific biochemical and pathophysiological processes underpinning many of these diseases will be elucidated and their classifications will change.[dartmouth.edu]
In this paper, authors contended that Alzheimer prevention starts with marijuana. That’s right, the conclusion drawn is that chemical compounds in cannabis can be used to prevent the onset of the brain disease.[intellectualtakeout.org]
