This is my Huntington's disease project and I made a
- 00:03 - 00:03
slide presentation.
- 00:05 - 00:05
These are the side effects.
- 00:07 - 00:09
So the side effects are located in the nervous system
- 00:10 - 00:11
and the sculpture system of the body.
- 00:12 - 00:15
These are how the symptoms affect the body struggle to
- 00:15 - 00:19
concentrate memory lapses, depression, stumbling slash ambrosinus and mood swings.
- 00:21 - 00:22
Here are the parts of the body that it affects
- 00:24 - 00:27
spontaneous jerky, which means parts of one's body can move
- 00:27 - 00:30
at random muscle problems, muscles are weak and involved in
- 00:30 - 00:30
moving voluntarily.
- 00:31 - 00:34
Unusual eye movements disconnect there I twitch or move in
- 00:34 - 00:37
a certain way compared gait, posture and balance, which means
- 00:37 - 00:41
struggling, controlling their body and moving it proper travel with
- 00:41 - 00:43
speech and swallowing means difficulty talking.
- 00:44 - 00:46
It may be difficult to eat it.
- 00:47 - 00:49
Discovery Discovery of Huntington's disease.
- 00:49 - 00:53
Huntington's disease was discovered in East Hampton, Long Island 1872
- 00:54 - 00:54
by George.
- 00:54 - 00:57
Huntington, an American militia George was the first one to
- 00:57 - 00:58
give a full description of the disease.
- 00:59 - 01:01
The name of disease is based on his name.
- 01:01 - 01:04
He described the symptoms based on generations of one family
- 01:04 - 01:08
who had these symptoms treatment, prognosis and treatment.
- 01:09 - 01:11
As of this time, there is no treatment for this
- 01:11 - 01:13
disease to try to slow it or stop it.
- 01:14 - 01:17
Whoever has the disease usually dies within 10 and 30
- 01:17 - 01:20
years of getting, getting getting the symptoms.
- 01:21 - 01:23
So they die from mostly pneumonia and injuries that relate
- 01:24 - 01:27
to fall or falling and hunting.
- 01:27 - 01:29
This disease usually gets worse over time.
- 01:30 - 01:32
Pictures, these are three pictures of taking disease.
- 01:33 - 01:36
This is the first picture of a person having it.
- 01:36 - 01:38
So this is just a person that has something disease.
- 01:39 - 01:42
The second picture is a brain comparison from a normal
- 01:42 - 01:44
brain to a person who has Huntington's disease.
- 01:44 - 01:47
In the third brake describes like the life of $100
- 01:47 - 01:54
disease person and just descriptions on how they act targets
- 01:55 - 01:59
anything. So What what affects does the disease have on
- 01:59 - 01:59
age, gender, ethnicity?
- 02:00 - 02:01
And is it inherited genetic?
- 02:02 - 02:04
It is common have symptoms of Huntington's disease developed at
- 02:05 - 02:06
the age of 30 to 50 years old.
- 02:06 - 02:09
They can start as early as two or as late
- 02:09 - 02:11
as eight years old when it comes to gender, women
- 02:12 - 02:14
are slightly more contact disease than men.
- 02:15 - 02:19
Huntington's disease affects people of all ethnic groups, but mostly
- 02:19 - 02:23
common. If you are of Western european descent, more than
- 02:23 - 02:26
likely if you have Huntington's disease, this means it is
- 02:26 - 02:29
inherited genetically, but there are some cases where you don't
- 02:30 - 02:30
inherit genetically.
- 02:31 - 02:34
Also, Huntington's disease is caused by a defect and inherited.
- 02:34 - 02:38
Gene facts, Interesting practice.
- 02:39 - 02:41
So more than 30,000 Americans have Huntington's disease.
- 02:42 - 02:45
This is approximately 0.009 of the population.
- 02:46 - 02:48
Then another 200,000 Americans are at risk for getting the
- 02:48 - 02:53
disease agenda tests also can tell you if you're potentially
- 02:53 - 02:54
at risk frantic disease.
- 02:55 - 02:56
Um, this disease.
- 02:56 - 02:58
If the disease runs in your family, the gender test
- 02:59 - 03:00
can tell you whether you develop the gene or not
- 03:01 - 03:03
and need to help her basically.
- 03:04 - 03:07
This means where huntington's disease removes the ability of making
- 03:07 - 03:08
choices for you.
- 03:08 - 03:12
So as a result of this, you need assistance making
- 03:12 - 03:15
decisions. Um, you could get help from like lawyers or
- 03:15 - 03:17
an attorney for making medical choices.
- 03:17 - 03:20
And the hunting and disease Society of America also helps
- 03:21 - 03:23
you and then citations.
- 03:25 - 03:26
These are just the citations for side effects.
- 03:27 - 03:27
Parts of the body effects.
- 03:28 - 03:30
Discovery treatment, pictures targets anything's attacks.
- 03:31 - 03:32
Thank you.
