1.

Alzheimers disease
Prevention:
Know your blood pressure and keep it under control
Exercise regularly
Don't smoke
Get tested for diabetes and if you have it, keep it
under control
Know your cholesterol and triglyceride levels and
keep them under control
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables
Maintain a healthy weight
Cure:
No Cure but can be treated
2. Migraine
Prevention:
Keeping a migraine diary can help you identify possible triggers
and monitor how well any medication you are taking is working.
In your migraine diary, try to record:
the date of the attack
the time of day the attack began
any warning signs

 your symptoms (including the presence or absence of

aura)
what medication you took
when the attack ended
Cure:
Stay healthy and eat healthy foods and sleep well dont
be stress out
3. Poliomyelitis
Prevention:
Although improved public sanitation and careful personal hygiene
may help reduce the spread of polio, the most effective way to
prevent the disease is with polio vaccine.
Cure:
Although polio has no cure, prevention is available through a
vaccine. In the United States, it is given as an inactivated polio
vaccine. Approximately 90 percent or more of polio vaccine
recipients develop protective antibodies to all three poliovirus
types after two doses, and at least 99 percent are immune
following three doses.
4. Meningitis
Prevention:

Wash your hands. Careful hand-washing is important to avoiding exposure to infectious agents.
Teach your children to wash their hands often, especially before they eat and after using the toilet,
spending time in a crowded public place or petting animals. Show them how to wash their hands

vigorously, covering both the front and back of each hand with soap and rinsing thoroughly under
running water.
Practice good hygiene. Don't share drinks, foods, straws, eating utensils, LIP BALMS

or

toothbrushes with anyone else. Teach children and teens to avoid sharing these items too.
Stay healthy. Maintain your immune system by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, and

eating a HEALTHY DIET

with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Cover your mouth. When you need to cough or sneeze, be sure to cover your mouth and nose.

If you're pregnant, take care with food. Reduce your risk of listeriosis if you're pregnant by
cooking meat, including hot dogs and deli meat, to 165 F (74 C), and avoiding soft cheeses made
from unpasteurized milk, including feta, queso, Brie and Camembert. Don't eat these types of
cheeses unless they're clearly labeled that they were made with pasteurized milk.

Cure:: no Cure

5.Neutritis
Prevention:
Preventing Neuritis Disease | Prevent Optic, Peripheral Neuritis
Neuritis Prevention Measures:
Preventing neuritis may be easily done if a person does not have history of ailments that
can cause it like diabetes or HIV/AIDS. You can avoid neuritis by living a healthy life and
by trying to avoid the possible triggers for this ailment.
Cure:

You can avoid neuritis by eating healthy meals, exercising regularly, and resting
when you need rest. Since some neuritis attacks are due to overwork and overexertion,
resting is important especially when you really need it. Exercising also helps since it
helps strengthen the nerves that usually get injured when you suffer from neuritis.
Try to avoid injuries when you engage in certain physical activities and sports by
using protective gear whenever you can. Examples of protective gear that can protect
you include elbow pads, kneepads, and other similar padded gear for skating,
rollerblading, biking, and the like.

Avoid overindulgence since this may lead to weak nerves and the possibility of

neuritis.
To help avoid optic neuritis, regular visits to your ophthalmologist can help detect
any problems with your eyes before they worsen. You should also protect your eyes
from strain whenever possible to reduce the possibility of eye injury and optic neuritis.

6. Epilepsy
Prevention:
Epilepsy prevention involves minimizing the risk of suffering from the underlying condition that
can lead to chronic seizures.
It can be as simple as wearing protective gear like seatbelts or helmets while driving, riding or
playing sports, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Getting proper medical care, including making sure that immunizations and vaccinations are
up to date can help lessen the risk of the diseases and infections that can lead to epilepsy,
according to the CDC.
Living a healthy lifestyleeating and sleeping well and getting regular exerciseis another
way to minimize the dangers associated with epilepsy.

Cure:

The "traditional" anti-epileptic drugs are: phenobarbital, primidone (Mysoline),

phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), valproic
acid (Depakene), divalproex sodium (Epival), clonazepam (Rivotril), and
ethosuximide (Zarontin). The "new" antiepileptic drugs are: clobazam (Frisium),
vigabatrin (Sabril), gabapentin (Neurontin), lamotrigine (Lamictal), topiramate
(Topamax) and Diazepam Rectal Gel (Diastat). Other new drugs not yet
available in Canada are tiagabine, zonisamide and remacemide.

Prevention:

Radiation exposure

Family history of certain conditions including:

Neurofibromatosis type 1 and type 2

Tuberous sclerosis

7.
Tumor

Von Hippel-Lindau disease

Li-Fraumeni syndrome

Cure:

Surgery
Surgery is the usual treatment for most brain tumors. To remove a brain tumor, a neurosurgeon makes an opening in
the skull. This operation is called a craniotomy. Whenever possible, the surgeon attempts to remove the entire tumor.
If the tumor cannot be completely removed without damaging vital brain tissue, your doctor may remove as much of
the tumor as possible. Partial removal helps to relieve symptoms by reducing pressure on the brain and reduces the
amount of tumor to be treated by RADIATION THERAPY or chemotherapy.
Some tumors cannot be removed. In such cases, your doctor may do only a biopsy. A small piece of the tumor is
removed so that a pathologist can examine it under a microscope to determine the type of cells it contains. This helps
your doctor decide which treatment to use.
Sometimes, a biopsy is done with a needle. Doctors use a special head frame (like a halo) and CT scans or MRI to
pinpoint the exact location of the tumor. The surgeon makes a small hole in the skull and then guides a needle to the
tumor. Using this technique to do a biopsy or for treatment is called stereotaxis.
Other advanced techniques during surgery include brain mapping to find functional pathways near tumors, endoscopy
to perform biopsies and open spinal fluid pathways through a small scope and advanced frameless stereotaxic
computer assisted tumor resections. Intraoperative MRI also is available to help maximize tumor removal.
