Substance abuse amnesia refers to memory problems caused by the prolonged use of substances, such as alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications. This condition can affect a person’s ability to form new memories, recall past events, or sometimes even both. The key to understanding this condition lies in exploring the effects of substance abuse on the Read More >>>>
Failure Induced Amnesia
Failure Induced Amnesia (FIA) refers to a type of memory loss that happens when the brain is overwhelmed by stress or trauma. It can occur when a person experiences intense emotional or mental stress, especially linked to a sense of failure, disappointment, or overwhelming situations. This condition is often temporary but can cause significant distress Read More >>>>

One of the most common forms of amnesia is accident-induced amnesia, which occurs when the brain is injured due to trauma, such as Read More >>>>
Transient Global Amnesia
Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss, where individuals forget recent events and can’t form new memories for a short period. Although the condition can be alarming, it’s usually harmless and resolves within a few hours. During an episode of TGA, a person may not recognize where they are or Read More >>>>
Retrograde Amnesia
Retrograde amnesia is a type of memory loss where people forget events that happened before a certain point in time, typically after a head injury or illness. It means that memories made prior to a specific event or injury are lost, but new memories can still form. This condition can affect different parts of a Read More >>>>

Lacunar Amnesia
Lacunar amnesia is the loss of memory about a specific event. This specific form of amnesia is caused by brain damage in the limbic system which is responsible for our memories and emotions. When the damage occurs it leaves a lacuna, or a gap, in the record of memory within the cortex region of the brain. There is a general belief that certain Read More >>>>
Kidney Papillary Duct Cysts
Kidney Papillary Duct Cysts are a type of kidney cyst that can form within the renal system. These cysts, typically found within the renal papillae (the tips of the kidney’s pyramids), can affect the kidney’s ability to filter and process waste. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss everything about Kidney Papillary Duct Cysts, from Read More >>>>
Nephron Tumor
Nephron tumors, often referred to as kidney tumors or renal tumors, are abnormal growths that develop in the kidneys’ nephrons—the tiny filtering units responsible for removing waste from the blood. This guide provides a detailed overview of nephron tumors, including their structure, types, causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatments, prevention strategies, and frequently asked questions.

Renal Corticomedullary Junction Obstruction (RCMJO)
Renal corticomedullary junction obstruction is a condition that affects the kidneys. It occurs when there is a blockage at the junction where the outer part (cortex) of the kidney meets the inner part (medulla). This obstruction can lead to various health issues, including kidney damage. Pathophysiology Structure Kidney Anatomy: The kidneys consist of the cortex Read More >>>>
Renal Cortex Injury
Renal cortex injury refers to damage to the outer part of the kidney, known as the renal cortex. The renal cortex plays a crucial role in filtering blood and producing urine. Understanding renal cortex injury is essential for early detection, treatment, and prevention of kidney-related issues. The renal cortex is the outer layer of the Read More >>>>
