10 Nov 2005 12:20 amRandom facts of the day: Neurodegenerative diseases
One of the major causes of death from Alzheimer's disease - the most noticeable symptom of which is memory loss - is respiratory infections.
One of the major causes of death from Parkinson's disease - a disease that causes uncontrollable tremors - is trauma from falling over, which is from the inability to maintain posture.
One of the major causes of death from Huntington's disease - a late onset genetic disease that disrupt cognitive and motor functions, as well as causing depression - is suicide.
O__o;
Moral of the day: don't become a case study for neuropathologists.
