The medical community has made progress in understanding Alzheimer's disease. There is medication that can slow the advance of the disease, in 1985 the survival length was 10 years, and today it is 15. They are able to identify the disease sooner and there has been progress in the effects of diet and exercise on Alzheimer's disease symptoms. There are new drugs and herbal supplements that have merit (Sudha, 2002). Every day there is new information about the function of brain cells in victims of AD and more money is being directed to find a cure.
Osteochondroma is occurring in the bone surface, the surface covered with warty bone cartilage cap uplift. Osteochondroma is the most common bone tumors, benign bone tumor accounts for about 1 / 3. The tumor more common in 11 to 20 years old, about 40%. With solitary and multiple two types, which is far more common solitary, multiple by an autosomal dominant genetic disease, multiple bone involvement of the Commissioner, accompanied by bending or bone dysplasia and shortening deformity. But whether single or multiple, their similar morphology.
5. Saturated fat- a diet low in saturated fat can prevent high cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. 6. Protein- Protein is important for the growth and repair of body tissues like muscles. Children grow fast so protein is particularly important.
MD causes the muscles in the body to become very weak over a progressive period of time. The muscles are usually broken down and replaced with fatty deposits. There are two common forms of MD which include Duchenne and Becker. Duchenne is however the most severe form of MD. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a defective gene for a protein called dystrophin.
Dr Fiona discovered that even though some skin sheets, which were produced in 10 days, had holes in them applied to the skin of the patient within that time, the area healed quicker and reduces scarring, this is due to the cells being not totally achieved to confluence. The historical Development of organ and stem cell transplantation Organ transplantation is the supreme advancement of the second half of 20th century. The development of transplantation has incorporated almost all medical specialities. In the cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience among scientists, surgeons and physicians in attaining a
P4- Explain two stages of psychosocial theories of ageing There are three different ways in which we describe the way in which we age. These are factual as we can see this happening the two different types are biological ageing and cellular ageing. Ageing does not begin at a certain age biological ageing is genetic and wear and tear. Genetic theories are the most influential to relation to ageing cellular ageing is when some of our cells are renewed such as skin cells. Nerve cells are long-lived.
Many researchers are trying to bring gene therapy back to people’s attention. Researchers are trying to introduce a 47th (artificial human) chromosome into target where they can attach it next to the 46th chromosome therefore not affecting any mutations or their works. The only problem that this idea seems to have is finding a large vector that will carry the doubled chromosome into the targeted cell! In the UK for example, the Gene Therapy Advisory Committee reports that during 1997 new approaches and renewed financial support for the field indicates that gene therapy is moving into an expansive phase. The European Society for Gene Therapy and the American Society of Gene Therapy are also doing the same thing.
Some of the effects of HGH are most noticeable on cartilage and bone cells. If your body continues to produce growth hormone after cartilaginous plates have been fused, other bones respond such as the jaw, forehead, toes, and fingers. Human Growth Hormone may be considered a miracle by some or a disaster by others. The thought of humans having a life expectancy twice the amount it is now is amazing. But on the other hand, the side effects this hormone may cause due to regular injections may be very
The outcome varies, and is hard to predict. Although the disorder is chronic and incurable, life expectancy can be normal or almost normal. Most people with MS continue to walk and function at work with minimal disability for 20 or more
Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) or mucoviscidosis is a recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver, and intestine. It is guessed that CF appeared about 3,000 BC because of migration of people, gene mutations, and changes in diet. CF was not medically recognized until the 1930s, certain characteristics of CF were recognized earlier. Texts from Germany and Switzerland in the 19th century “warned Wehe dem Kind, das beim Kuß auf die Stirn salzig schmekt, er ist verhext und muss bald sterbe or "Woe to the child who tastes salty from a kiss on the brow, for he is cursed and soon must die," recognizing the association between the salt loss in CF and illness” (PubMed Health.) In 1938 Dorothy
