It’s a huge question on whether genetic engineering is a good or bad thing for us‚ as the people of this world. There are many different examples of genetic engineering in our everyday lives. This art of science has contributed towards a lot of positive outcomes in our daily lives as humans. The advantages to genetic engineering have proven to have great outcomes so it truly is hard to not want to pursue this act and help further our generation. A Lot of the food our bodies consoume is touched by

At Bergen-Belsen concentration camp a sickness called typhus was going around in March. Typhus is a that disease occurs after bacteria is transferred to humans usually by vectors such as fleas or lice that have acquired the bacteria from animals such as rats‚ cats‚ opossums‚ raccoons‚ and other animals.

Mitochondrial dysfunction causes damage to brain‚ heart‚ kidneys and muscle etc. since these organs need large amount of energy to perform specific functions.

introduction Non-infectious diseases (also called Non-communicable diseases) are those diseases that are not caused by a pathogen and cannot be shared from one person to another. Disease caused by these organisms are infectious diseases. There are many kinds of non-infectious diseases. Non-infectious diseases may be caused by either the environment‚ nutritional deficiencies‚ lifestyle choices‚ or genetic inheritances. Unlike infectious diseases‚ non-infectious diseases are not communicable or contagious

mitochondrial disease is born. Mitochondrial disease affect mitochondria which are specialized compartments present in every cell of our body except in red blood cells. They are responsible for 90% of energy production in our body. If mitochondria failure occurs less energy is produced in the cell‚ this leads to cell injury and in some cases to cell death. If the process continues‚ our whole body is severely affected. Mitochondrial disease affects mostly children but in the last few years this disease is also

Paget Disease of the bone was first described by English surgeon Sir James Paget in 1876. He observed certain clinical findings in five male patients. Each of these individuals displayed certain deformities on a minimum of two skeletal areas. When describing this condition‚ he used the term osteitis deformans by which the disease is also known. He felt‚ at first‚ that he was describing a rare inflammatory-type disorder. However‚ there were soon numerous papers published on similar findings in

March 2015 Parkinson’s Disease One million Americans suffer from Parkinson’s disease. This disease involves movement of body parts that trigger the brain and it’s unstoppable. Research study shows that this disease comes from a nerve cells in a area of the brain. It is chronic cause by a decrease in production of dopamine in the body. This Neurotransmitter Dopamine is cause for the body’s smooth muscle movement. When Dopamine no longer produced by the body this disease start to shows its symptoms

TREATMENT OPTIONS There is NO cure for sickle cell disease‚ although new stem cell research is promising. Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure‚ however finding a matched sibling donor is difficult. Therefore treatment is primarily focused on management of symptoms and prevention of pain episodes. Hydroxyurea (a chemotherapeutic medication) is the only recognized treatment option for the prevention of vaso-occlusive crisis in SCD. It is a prescribed drug for adult patients
