Learning disability
Learning disabilities are due to genetic and/or neurobiological factors that alter brain functioning in a manner which affects one or more cognitive processes related to learning. These processing problems can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing and/or math.
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: W114
Diagnosis: Learning Disability-Learning Disorder
US Patients:
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area: brain operates more slowly; heredity and genetics, family poverty
Symptoms: Differing ability to speak, liten, read, write, spell, reason, organize information and do math. Usually average or higher intelligence.
Progression:
Causes: Low expectations by parents, teachers or others may stigmatize and worsen the problems. Self-esteem may be built aside of school.

- Framing Value Based Healthcare in Practice: Introducing the Complex Case and Recovery Management Framework (The CCaRM)by Mark Spurrell on January 26, 2023
CONCLUSION: In principle, the CCaRM contributes to operationalising collaborative value-based healthcare for complex cases. It surfaces further research themes to refocus value and integrated care thinking. Further empirical work is needed.
- Neuropharmaceutical Properties of Naringin Against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases: Naringin Protection Against AD and PDby Maryam Poudineh on January 26, 2023
Neurological complications are considered the leading cause of disability and the second cause of death worldwide. Although the most common neurological disorders affecting a large population are Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD), no definitive treatment has been propounded in the clinic. As in recent years, special attention has been paid to medicinal herbal products as one of the ways to meet the challenges of treating diseases. This review study aimed to introduce the naringin...
- Discernment on assistive technology for the care and support requirements of older adults and differently-abled individualsby P Muthu on January 26, 2023
Assistive technology for the differently abled and older adults has made remarkable achievements in providing rehabilitative, adaptive, and assistive devices. It provides huge assistance for people with physical impairments to lead a better self-reliant daily life, in terms of mobility, education, rehabilitation, etc. This technology ranges from simple hand-held devices to complex robotic accessories which promote the individual's independence. This study aimed at identifying the assistance...
- Association of Potentially Damaging De Novo Gene Variants With Neurologic Outcomes in Congenital Heart Diseaseby Sarah U Morton on January 26, 2023
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The study findings suggest neurodevelopmental outcomes are not associated with dDNVs as a group but may be worse in individuals with dDNVs and/or pLOFs in some gene sets, such as chromatin-modifying genes. Future studies should confirm the importance of specific gene variants to brain function and structure.
