Understand, Prevent and Care. 

There are  over  400 neurological disorders. Some of them are impacting society more than others.  It is important to understand prevention techniques, symptoms, treatment options in light of recent research to improve public health and  decrease the burden of neurological diseases.

Alzheimer

#1

Alzheimer is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. It is a type of dementia that brings issues with memory, thinking and behavior.

 

It generally begins slowly and increase over time. It is the reason of approximately 70% of cases of dementia. It is currently ranked as third, just after heart disease and cancer, as a reason of death for older people.

At the moment most of the treatment activities and medications may temporarily improve patient condition and provide better quality of life for a while. However there is no permanent treatment for the disease. It is  important to understand the current treatment options, get support and follow latest development as much as possible.

#2

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative brain disorder  that progress on  central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

 

The symptoms usually develops on slowly and worsen over time. Patient brain slowly stops generating a neurotransmitter which is called dopamine.  This leads  less ability to regulate their activities, behaviours  and body.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

#3

MS is a neurological and  a potentially disabling disease of the brain and central nervous system disease.


MS itself is rarely fatal, but In severe cases, the patient becomes paralyzed or  cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions. The effects are often different for everyone who has the disease.


There's no cure for MS but treatments can help quality of life, better recovery from attacks and manage symptoms.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

#4

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that mainly involve the nerve cells  responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement .

 

 ALS also known as  Lou Gehrig's (baseball player who was diagnosed with it in the 1930s) disease and motor neurone disease (MND). It causes progressive weakening which means it gets worse over time. There is no cure at the moment for ALS.

 

Most of the ALS patients die within 3 to 5 years due to loss of breathing. Neuroscientists has more information about this disease and they are working on  treatments.

#5

Epilepsy

The epilepsies are a spectrum of brain disorders ranging from severe, life-threatening and disabling, to ones that are much more benign. In epilepsy, the normal pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed, causing strange sensations, emotions, and behaviour or sometimes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. The epilepsies have many possible causes and there are several types of seizures. Anything that disturbs the normal pattern of neuron activity—from illness to brain damage to abnormal brain development—can lead to seizures. Epilepsy may develop because of an abnormality in brain wiring, an imbalance of nerve signalling chemicals called neurotransmitters, changes in important features of brain cells called channels, or some combination of these and other factors

Migraine

Migraines are far more than just a headache. They're a debilitating neurological condition that can cause intense throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. But the misery doesn't stop there. Migraines can also bring on nausea, vomiting, and a heightened sensitivity to light and sound, making it difficult to function normally. Millions of people worldwide battle migraines, but you don't have to fight alone.

ASABME is here to empower you with knowledge and resources. We'll help you understand your unique migraine triggers, from stress and hormonal changes to certain foods and environmental factors. We'll also explore effective management strategies, including relaxation techniques, lifestyle changes, and potential treatment options. With the right approach, you can take control of your migraines and reclaim your life.

🌱 STEM for Young People and Kids

At ASAB Middle East, we believe that curiosity is the root of discovery and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is where it begins. We’re dedicated to helping young people  from curious kids to ambitious teens —explore the world through science and technology. By making STEM fun, accessible, and meaningful, we aim to spark a lifelong love for learning.

🔬 Why STEM Matters

STEM is more than school subjects. It’s how we solve real-world problems, from climate change and health challenges to designing the technologies of tomorrow. By encouraging early engagement with STEM, we help build the critical thinkers, inventors, and innovators of the future.

🌍 Designed with the Region in Mind

Young minds across the Middle East are full of potential but not always given equal access to resources or role models in science and tech. Our content is crafted with local context, culture, and language in mind to help bridge this gap. We provide bilingual resources (Arabic and English) and focus on inclusive, regionally relevant content that connects with young learners and educators alike.

👧 Empowering Girls in STEM

We place a special focus on empowering girls to explore STEM. Representation matters and when girls see themselves reflected in science, they start to believe they belong there. We feature female scientists, share stories from the Arab world, and create spaces where young girls can dream big and build the skills to back it up.

🚀 Let’s Build the Future Together

Whether you're a parent, teacher, student, or simply curious you're welcome here. Explore our videos, activities, and digital learning tools made for young people with big questions.STEM is for everyone and every child deserves the chance to discover their potential.
