This report does not mention anything abnormal.6th point is probably in bold because it comments upon 'to the extent visualized' and not beyond that that.

If your father is doing fine,there is no need to fear because of this report.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Hello Sir,

Thank you for your reply, You mean to say in all the 7 points that's mentioned in the report is normal and no abnormalities or serious issues.

My father is fine but some times fumbles while speaking and recollecting peoples names becomes difficult for him. Do you feel its because of the age factor as he is 69 now or because of the injury he had in head 2 years ago.

If you can also tell me some natural foods that will help for his healthy brain function apart from the tablets he takes I can include some foods that will be very help full for his brain functioning.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards,
XXXXX

Brief Answer:
Appears to be age related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

Occasional fumbling is not usually related to a disease process in elderly.Its probably physiological,due to old age.

High protein diet like milk,egg white,soyabeans along with fruits and green vegetables(for vitamins and minerals) will make a good diet plan for health.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
