About 80% . of ovarian tumors are . benign, and these occur mostly in young women between the ages of 20 and 45 years and may be entirely asymptomatic and occasionally are found unexpectedly on abdominal or pelvic examination .

It can be superficial and easily identifiable by external presentation, palpation and x – rays or CT scan . Professor Emerita. Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. THE MOTOR SYSTEM. To understand Parkinson’s disease, we need to review how a . normal voluntary and coordinated motor movement is made. The Motor System is subdivided into 3 “subsystems”. Professor Emerita.
