Please suggest any cure for PSP (Progressive supranervous Palsi) a Brain Disease similar to parkinson?
This is a very Deadly Disease in which your Motor Skills , Eye Vision, Thinking, Stammering, Breathing Trouble. Actually The Size of the Mid Brain is Diminishing, If anybody has a Cure or any Information please send the answers.
Currently, there is no effective treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), although scientists are searching for better ways to manage the disease. In some patients the slowness, stiffness and balance problems may respond to Parkinson’s disease medications but the effect is usually temporary. Speech, vision and swallowing difficulties usually do not respond to drug treatments.
Simple lifestyle changes may benefit patients with PSP. For example, patients frequently use weighted walking aids to deter their tendency to fall backwards. Bifocals or special glasses called prisms are sometimes prescribed for PSP patients to remedy their difficulty of looking down. Formal physical therapy has not proven beneficial but certain exercises can be performed to keep the joints limber.
When a patient experiences severe difficulty swallowing and choking is a risk, a surgical procedure called a gastrostomy may be necessary. This surgery involves the placement of a tube through the skin of the abdomen into the intestine for feeding purposes.
Being a caregiver for a PSP patient can be physically and emotionally demanding. Support groups can play an important role in coping with the disease and maintaining quality of life for the patient and caregiver.

Devise a hypothetical experiment that would…?
Devise a hypothetical experiment that would show whether eating the cooked meat (muscle), rather than the brains, of cattle infected with mad-cow disease could transmit the infectious poison to mammals, such as humans. Hint: White lab mice are the best place to start.
Feed one set of lab mice cooked meat from the “mad cow”, and another set of lab mice the brains of the “mad cow”.
Then test the mice to see which set had more infectious poison transmitted to them.
This experiment would suggest or not suggest eating certain parts of a cow with mad cow disease.
The Ethics of Brain Stimulation to Treat Disease
As part of our monthly series on ethics in science and technology, we’ll look at the growing practice of deep-brain stimulation to treat illnesses that range from chronic pain to Parkinson’s disease.
