Answer:

Neurodegenerative disease

Explanation:

   Neurodegenerative Disease is a generic term for a range of diseases that affect neurons in the human brain.  Neurons are the base unit of the nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Normally, neurons do not reproduce or replace themselves, so when they are damaged or die they cannot be replaced. Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease are some examples of neurodegenerative diseases.

   They are incurable and debilitating diseases that result in progressive degeneration and / or death of neurons. They cause problems of movement (ataxias) or mental function (dementia).

daser333 [38]
<span>Ceftriaxone is used to treat bacterial infections  and is an antibiotic but like so many chemical drugs of the pharmaceutics industry it can have serious side effects so the nurse should explain these to the patient taking the drug home to notify her if any of these symptoms occur. These can commonly include black, tarry stools, chest pain, chills, cough, fever, painful or difficult urination, shortness of breath, sore throat,ulcers for example. Often the side effects are worse than what the drug is supposed to do so alternative medicine including herbs if available for the particular ailment are often recommended instead.</span>
