Presentation
Neurodegenerative disorders can present at any age, with manifestations varying with the age of presentation. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Classic CJD characteristics, as compared to variant CJD, are presented in the table below. [web.archive.org]
The Burton Experience has been that actual incidence appears to be closer to 20-40% of those presenting with back pain problems. [burtonreport.com]
In general, the less severe the disease, the later it will present. Symptoms vary based on the specific disorder, but newborns may present with the following : 1. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
In the original paper mapping PKAN due to PANK2, family HS9 was the only unlinked family presented. [jmg.bmj.com]
Neurologic
- Abnormal Reflex
Signs & Symptoms Signs and symptoms of many degenerative disorders of the spine include pain in the back or neck and in the arms or legs, numbness, tingling, weakness, paralysis, muscle wasting, and abnormal reflexes. [orthoneuro.com]
(GHR) Characterized by the presence of abnormally large nerve cell axons. Signs and symptoms include difficulty walking, sensory disturbances, lack of motor coordination and abnormal reflexes in the limbs. [richardsonthebrain.com]
Workup
Diagnostic Workup Examination must first address possible radicular pain to the shoulder that actually originates from the cervical spine. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Treatment
Treatment for polymyositis With several years of treatment, it may be possible for the symptoms of polymyositis to be significantly reduced or eliminated. [muirortho.com]
Here, we discuss disease mechanisms and treatment strategies for chronic progressive MS. [doi.org]
(Also called nonoperative treatments.) Surgical treatments: Surgical treatment is necessary to treat compression that causes myelopathy and certain cases of radiculopathy. [columbianeurosurgery.org]
Solving this mystery will pave the way to improve the current available treatment options or create new treatments that not only relieve the symptoms, but also cure the disease itself. [docdoc.com.sg]
Prognosis
Treatment and Prognosis Therapies for most lysosomal storage diseases are limited. In the past, treatment has focused on supportive care and symptomatic management. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Estimated 196 million people with AMD worldwide 2040 Estimated 288 million people with AMD worldwide THE MARKET FOR RETINAL DISEASE THERAPIES Within the family of “retinal degenerations” there are multiple known diseases which differ in their pathology, prognosis [nano-retina.com]
For alcoholic/nutritional cerebellar degeneration, symptoms are often relieved with discontinuation of alcohol abuse, a normal diet and dietary supplementation with thiamine and other B vitamins. [9] Last updated: 12/15/2014 The long-term outlook ( prognosis [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
PROGNOSIS • • • • • It is a progressive disease. Mean time from diagnosis to death is 1 year. Most patients die within 3 to 5 years of onset of illness. Younger patients & those with bulbar symptoms show a more rapid course. [slideshare.net]
Etiology
Another major theme in the research on etiology of HD is the disturbance of cell metabolism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In specific reference to JDD its primary etiology appears to be that of failure of normal spine development early in the fetal process of differentiation. [burtonreport.com]
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]
There are a wide range of medical interventions required for CF patients (summarized in Table 1 ) which have to be tailored to the individual patient and which depend on their specific symptoms, disease etiology, age and general health. [doi.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiologic and a few prospective studies suggest that there may be some element of inflammation in the condition and some have suggested excess oxidation as a contributing factor. [dartmouth.edu]
EPIDEMIOLOGY • The incidence of MND is approximately 1–5 out • • • • of 100,000 people. Men have a slightly higher incidence rate than women. Mostly presents in 4th or 5th decade. Cases under the age of 50 years are called "young onset MND“. [slideshare.net]

The symptoms of HD may be motor, cognitive, and psychiatric, and are consistent with the pathophysiology of frontostriatal circuitry malfunction. [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]
