The key difference between communicating and noncommunicating hydrocephalus is that communicating hydrocephalus is the condition that allows the cerebrospinal fluid to enter the brain ventricles while noncommunicating hydrocephalus is the condition that obstructs the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to the ventricles. Hydrocephalus is an abnormal building up of fluids in the ventricles within the brain. […]
What is the Difference Between Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia
The key difference between thrombosis and thrombocytopenia is that thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside the blood vessel, preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured, while thrombocytopenia is a condition of having low blood platelet count that causes excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is inured. Platelets are tiny blood […]
What is the Difference Between Tetanus and Rabies
The key difference between tetanus and rabies is that tetanus is an infection characterized by a neurotoxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium tetani, while rabies is an infection characterized by a neurotoxin produced by a virus called rabies virus. Neurotoxins are toxins that are really destructive to nerve tissues. Neurotoxins can adversely affect the […]
What is the Difference Between Motor Neuron Disease and Muscular Dystrophy
The key difference between motor neuron disease and muscular dystrophy is that motor neuron disease is a group of rare disorders that occurs specifically due to problems in the central or peripheral nervous system, while muscular dystrophy is a group of rare disorders that occurs exclusively due to problems in the muscles. A neuromuscular disease […]
What is the Difference Between Lewy Body Dementia and Vascular Dementia
The key difference between Lewy body dementia and vascular dementia is that Lewy body dementia is a type of dementia that is due to brain damage caused by clumps built in the brain cells, while vascular dementia is a type of dementia that is due to brain damage caused by problems in the blood vessels […]
What is the Difference Between RRMS and PPMS
The key difference between RRMS and PPMS is that RRMS is a type of multiple sclerosis that tends to have more inflammation, while PPMS is a type of multiple sclerosis that tends to have less inflammation. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic medical condition that causes nerve damage. Multiple sclerosis is an example of a demyelinating […]
What is the Difference Between CLL and SLL
The key difference between CLL and SLL is that CLL is a type of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma where abnormal B cells accumulate mostly in blood and bone marrow, while SLL is a type of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma where abnormal B cells accumulate mostly in lymph nodes. Lymphoma is a cancer that begins by infecting the lymphocytes, the […]
What is the Difference Between Prader Willi and Angelman Syndrome
The key difference between Prader Willi and Angelman syndrome is that Prader Willi syndrome is caused by the loss of function of paternally expressed genes in a region of chromosome 15 due to a deletion or uniparental disomy while Angelman syndrome is caused by the loss of function of maternally expressed genes in a region […]
What is the Difference Between Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Leukemia
The key difference between non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia is that non Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the body’s lymphatic system while leukemia is a cancer of the body’s blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and sometimes lymphatic system. Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia are both two types of blood cancers. It is easy to […]
What is the Difference Between CIDP and MS
The key difference between CIDP and MS is that CIDP involves inflammation of nerve roots and nerves of the peripheral nervous system and destruction of the myelin sheath, while MS involves inflammation of nerve fibers of the central nervous system and the destruction of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers. Myelin sheath disorders are neurological […]
