Health Education Index
Ahmad Nadim Al Sadat , M.D. and the staff of Intermountain Multi-Specialty Clinic provide our patients with a Health Education Library. The Library includes a variety of neurology handouts and links to medical organizations trusted by neurologists.
Neurologist recommended topics include:
Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia, leading to memory loss, behavioral changes and other health problems. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are medications that help to slow the development of dementia and provide relief from some of the symptoms. The Library reviews different types of dementia, treatment options, and offers advice for family members and caregivers.
Epilepsy is diagnosed in a person that has two or more unprovoked seizures. It occurs when a strong surge of electrical activity disrupts normal brain function. The Library describes the different types of epilepsy (temporal lobe epilepsy, absence seizures, refractory epilepsy) and epilepsy tests that may be performed, such as an EEG. The Library also reviews epilepsy treatment options that may be recommended by your neurologist, including antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, dilantin) and epilepsy surgery.
Headaches are a common and disabling disorder. The Library reviews the different types of headaches (migraine headaches, tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, hormonal headaches) and headache medications that may relieve and prevent headaches, including triptans. Your neurologist will recommend a headache treatment plan based on several factors, including your type of headache, its frequency and severity.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling neurologic disease that causes a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, visual changes, numbness, and spasticity. Most people with multiple sclerosis have a type called "relapsing-remitting MS" which leads to periods of worsening symptoms (exacerbations) followed by remissions. Although there is presently no cure for MS, there are "disease-modifying" medications that may be recommended by your neurologist. These multiple sclerosis medications can reduce the number of exacerbations and improve long-term function. The Library reviews various MS treatment options, the benefits of starting disease-modifying therapy and tips for caregivers.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a "movement disorder" that leads to tremor (shaking), slowness of movement, stiffness and difficulty with balance. It results from the loss of brain cells that produce a neurotransmitter called "dopamine". The Library reviews different symptoms of Parkinson's disease and treatment options that may be prescribed by your neurologist, including medications that help to increase dopamine levels in the brain.
Stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen to the brain is either blocked by a clot, or bursts. The nerve cells in that part of the brain no longer function. The resulting symptoms depend on the area of the brain affected. The Library reviews different types of stroke and their symptoms, as well as medications that help to prevent stroke.
Ahmad Nadim Al Sadat , M.D. and the staff of Intermountain Multi-Specialty Clinic hope that the neurologist recommended information helps you to better understand your health.
