The goal of World Parkinson's Awareness Day is to increase understanding of Parkinson's disease and how it can impact a person on a global scale. The day offers a chance to raise money for management, research, and resource projects. The public's knowledge of this disorder is quite limited.

What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's disease is a chronic condition that mostly impacts the area of the central nervous system that controls movement. Parkinson's disease symptoms include both motor (such as stiffness, tremors, and slow movement) and non-motor ones. (verbal and nonverbal emotional cues). Some drugs that are used to treat associated symptoms may worsen other symptoms. There is currently no cure.

What does Take6 for Parkinson's Disease mean?

The subject for this year emphasises the increasing number of new cases of Parkinson's disease. People living with it have a unique experience. Each person's symptom progression is frequently a little different because of the condition's complexity. Parkinson's disease symptoms do mirror typical ageing inattentiveness, which may explain why some cases go undiagnosed. The difficulty of accessing healthcare in underdeveloped nations is made worse by this lack of knowledge. Parkinson's Awareness Day is intended to encourage advocacy and, where necessary, have an impact on policymakers' choices.

Female Medical Doctors and Fashion

Female Medical Doctors And Fashion A Standard Dress Code Is Relative Photo credit: istock Each professional’s clothing style has a significant impact on their presentation, reliability, and look.

One of the most essential things in instilling a patient’s confidence in the doctors is their appearance. In terms of attire, the white coat was deemed to be the most suitable, followed by surgic...

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you ar...

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
