Huntington's is a fairly devastating neuro-degenerative disease. This condition is well studied and is, at present, incurable. It is a brain disorder that damages some specific types of neurons, leading to degeneration in several parts of the brain causing them to lose their function. This results in uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual abilities and behavioral disturbances. Since the mutation causes have been discovered, there have been several important advancements in understanding the cellular and molecular agitations. This book consists of current knowledge on a wide variety of...

This book gives an extensive overview on the pathogenesis and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Over 6 million Europeans, out of which more than a quarter of people who are over the age of 85 and 10% who are over the age of 65, have been affected by Alzheimer's Dementia (AD). Given the steady aging of European societies, cognitive decline and dementia have grown into a crucial health problem with a great socioeconomic effect on patients, their caregivers and families, society, and national health care policy.

Myasthenia gravis is a rare chronic autoimmune disease. It is currently a cureless antibody-mediated autoimmune disorder characterized by generalized voluntary skeletal muscle weakness. The root of the weakness is a flaw at the neuromuscular junction level, in which autoimmune antibodies obstruct the receptors accountable for commencing muscular contraction. The literal meaning of myasthenia gravis from its Latin and Greek etymological origins is "grave muscle weakness." Luckily, developments in modern medicine have resulted in a decline of the truly "grave" consequences for those inflicted...
