THERAPEUTIC AREAS
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Through its psychological and intellectual brain functions, the nervous system receives information from the external environment and processes an adaptive response to what is happening.
Due to the lack of remedial treatments and the continuing increase in the average age of the population, brain diseases are one of the most widespread pathological conditions in Western countries.
With around one billion people affected worldwide, they are also the leading cause of disability.
The most widespread diseases are headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia and inflammatory diseases.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The respiratory system plays an essential role in the body by supplying oxygen to cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products from the blood. When compromised by infectious diseases or inflammatory states, symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, secretions, breathing difficulties or rhinitis may occur.
The most common disease affecting the respiratory tract is the flu, an infection of the airways (nose, throat and lungs) caused by influenza viruses typically during the cold seasons of the year. Like all viral infections, it can be transmitted by direct contact with an affected individual or carrier, or through contaminated objects or surfaces.
