BRAIN DISEASES AMONG MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE: SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT APPROACHES

Аннотация

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of common brain diseases among middle-aged individuals, including their main symptoms, diagnosis, and modern treatment methods. Research shows that neurological disorders are most prevalent in the 40-60 age group. This paper includes detailed scientific and practical information on early detection, prevention, and effective treatment approaches for these diseases. Keywords: brain diseases, neurological disorders, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, migraine, epilepsy, brain aneurysm, diagnosis, treatment, prevention.

Middle-aged individuals are at the peak of their physical and mental activity. However, this stage of life is also associated with the increased risk of developing various pathological conditions. Brain diseases are particularly prevalent among individuals approaching old age, often leading to severe neurological conditions, reduced quality of life, and, in some cases, disability. This article provides an in-depth review of the most common brain diseases in middle-aged individuals, their causes, main symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment options.[1] Brain diseases: Stroke Stroke is a serious neurological condition caused by a sudden disruption of blood circulation in the brain. It is classified into two main types: ischemic stroke, resulting from blocked blood vessels leading to oxygen deficiency, and hemorrhagic stroke, caused by the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel and subsequent bleeding. Risk factors include hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart arrhythmias, diabetes, and an unhealthy lifestyle.[8] Symptoms of a stroke include sudden headaches, speech disturbances, facial drooping on one side, limb paralysis, loss of balance, and unconsciousness. Diagnosis is carried out using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and laboratory tests. https://scientific-jl.org/obr Выпуск журнала №-73 362 Часть–1_ июл–2025 ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НАУКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ИДЕИ В МИРЕ 2181- 3187 Treatment for ischemic stroke involves thrombolytic therapy, which dissolves the clot blocking the blood vessel. Hemorrhagic stroke, on the other hand, may require surgical intervention to stop the bleeding. Prevention strategies include blood pressure control, a healthy diet, physical activity, and avoiding harmful habits.[5][7] Parkinson’s disease Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily associated with dopamine deficiency. It develops gradually, affecting movement and coordination. Key symptoms include tremors, bradykinesia (slowed movements), muscle stiffness, and balance impairments. Causes involve genetic predisposition, environmental toxins, and age-related neurodegenerative processes. Diagnosis is based on neurological examinations and MRI scans. Treatment includes dopamine replacement therapy with levodopa, dopamine agonists, physical therapy, and in some cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.[3][9] Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia and mainly occurs in individuals over 65 years old. The disease gradually worsens, leading to severe cognitive decline and loss of independence. https://scientific-jl.org/obr Выпуск журнала №-73 363 Часть–1_ июл–2025 ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НАУКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ИДЕИ В МИРЕ 2181- 3187 Genetic factors – APOE ε4 gene increases risk; mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 cause early-onset AD. Brain changes – Beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles disrupt neuron function. Other risks – Aging, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, smoking, and head trauma. Symptoms Early stage: Mild memory loss, difficulty concentrating, misplacing objects. Middle stage: Confusion, personality changes, trouble recognizing people. Late stage: Severe cogn
