Brain injuries, regardless of their perceived severity, can initiate a chain of cognitive challenges that endure over time. Studies highlight that repeated head trauma can instigate neurodegeneration, wherein the brain's essential functions gradually deteriorate. This not only compromises immediate cognitive abilities but also escalates the risk of developing debilitating neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Consequently, finding effective interventions to counteract these persistent effects becomes imperative.

Neuroinflammation refers to inflammation that occurs in the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. Inflammation is a natural and necessary response of the immune system to injury or infection, typically aimed at removing harmful stimuli and initiating the healing process. However, when inflammation becomes chronic or dysregulated, it can contribute to various neurological disorders.

Athlone based Senator, Gabrielle McFadden has called for additional funding for research into degenerative diseases such as Motor Neuron Disease and Parkinson’s Disease.

Have you ever experienced any difficulty when swallowing food or drink? Occasional difficulty swallowing, which may happen when you drink too fast or talk while you are eating, usually is not a cause for concern. However if the problem persists, worsens, or causes distress or pain, it is important to have a full swallow evaluation.
