It is the study of prenatal and postnatal developmental changes in an individual. Histology: Histology is also called microscopic anatomy. It is the microscopic study of different

It can severely limit a person’s ability to walk‚ stand‚ lift‚ or carry items. Your doctor will give you both a physical and neurological examination to diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy. Tests may include nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV)‚ electromyography (EMG)‚ electroencephalography (EEG)‚ spinal tap‚ blood and urine tests‚ and imaging procedures such as a CAT scan or MRI scan. These tests reveal the speed at which your nerve impulses travel‚ measure electrical response and activity‚ and determine

the presence of the mutation. The initial diagnosis is made using a physical examination as well as analyzing a family history. The patient will undergo a series of medical tests depending on their symptoms. The patient is given the procedure‚ electromyography (EDM) to detect the presence of myotonia in high proportions. A muscle biopsy can also be performed by withdrawing a small part of the affected muscle and analyzing it with a microscope. After this‚ the disorder can be confirmed through genetic

Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome (GBS) is a common cause of acute onset weakness. It is an immune-mediated disease that is usually preceded by gastrointestinal or respiratory tract infection in most of the cases. Various pathogens like Mycoplasma pneumonia‚ Campylobacter jejuni‚ Epstein Bar virus and Cytomegalovirus are involved in its pathogenesis and immune response directed against these organisms may cross react with myelin sheath and other neural tissues causing weakness.1 it occurs in whole world with

This helped to eliminate confounding variables which could have impacted the experiment’s results.

the motor commands generated in the central nervous system and sent to the musculoskeletal system through the descending tracts. These motor commands can be estimated with the electrical activities in the muscle tissue‚ which are recorded using electromyography (EMG) techniques. The activity of muscles as a function of time‚ also known as muscle activations provides information on how the motor commands change in order to control movement of the limbs and achieve a desired goal in this case a certain
