Huntington’s disease was first ever believed to be discussed in a letter by Charles Oscar Waters in 1842. In 1846 Charles Gorman noted that the disease seemed to occur in a certain region. Symptoms of the disease were described by Johan Christian in 1860. In 1872 George Huntington gave the first complete description of the disease based on his research‚ and so the disease was named after him. In 1993 the huntingtin gene was located. Huntington’s disease is caused by a defective gene. The defective

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

Factors for Cardiovascular Disease Large scale studies have been undertaken to find the risk factors for many common diseases‚ including CVD. Epidemiologists (scientists who study patterns in the occurrence of disease) look for correlations between a disease and specific risk factors. Two commonly used designs for this type of study are; • Cohort studies- a group of people are followed over time to see who develops a disease • Case control studies- a group of people who have the disease are compared
