What Causes West Syndrome? Any condition that damages the brain can cause West syndrome. Some of the causes happen before a baby is born (prenatal) and some happen after birth (postnatal). The most common cause of West syndrome is an inherited condition called tuberous sclerosis complex. It makes noncancerous tumors grow in different body parts, like your baby’s brain, skin, kidneys, or other organs.

Human Physiology/Pregnancy and birth Amniotic band syndrome, or ABS, occurs when the inner fetal membrane (amnion) ruptures without injury to the outer membrane (chorion). Fibrous bands from the ruptured amnion float in the amniotic fluid and can entangle the fetus, reducing blood supply and causing congenital limb abnormalities dysmelia.

Causes Alzheimer's disease - Causes. Causes of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is caused by parts of the brain shrinking (atrophy), which affects the structure and function of particular brain areas. It's not known exactly what causes this process to begin. However, in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, scientists have found amyloid plaques (abnormal deposits of protein), neurofibrillary tangles (containing tau) and imbalances in a chemical called acetylcholine.

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Of course, these are not just symptoms of AML, and more often are caused by something other than leukemia. Many signs and symptoms of AML result from a shortage of normal blood cells, which happens when the leukemia cells crowd out the normal blood-making cells in the bone marrow.

Empty sella syndrome Primary ESS happens when a small anatomical defect above the pituitary gland increases pressure in the sella turcica and causes the gland to flatten out along the interior walls of the sella turcica cavity. Primary ESS is associated with obesity and high blood pressure in women.

What are the causes and treatment of oligoamnios? In the late stages of pregnancy, most of the amniotic fluid is fetal urine. Inadequate levels of amniotic fluid results in poor development of the lung tissue and can lead to fetal death. The most common cause for this is rupture of the membranes, absence of fetal urine production or a blockage in fetus urinary tract.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Screening and Prevention At this time, we do not know what causes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the majority of cases. Researchers are trying to solve this problem. Scientists know that AML occurs in males more often than in females and in Caucasians more frequently than in African-Americans.

It is believed the 2003 epidemic started when the virus spread from small mammals in China. When someone with SARS coughs or sneezes, infected droplets spray into the air.
