  • Genetics: Gaucher Disease Type 1

    Table of Contents Abstract Disease diagnosis Etiology Case study Conclusion Reference List Abstract The Gaucher disease type 1 category is a genetically related complication in which there is an automatic recession in the way lysosomes store some important gene enzymes. This abnormality is mainly caused by the slow or sometimes dormant reactivity of the genetic…

    Table of Contents Introduction Hemophilia: Description Causes of Hemophilia Signs and Symptoms History of Hemophilia Diagnosis of Hemophilia Treatment of Hemophilia Prevalence in the U.S. and the World Reference List Introduction Animal bodies contain chromosomes that carry DNA segments called genes. Genes are important, in that, in human beings, genes determine characterization. For example, genes…

  • Methamphetamine, the Root Cause of Trauma Disease

    Introduction Methamphetamine is extremely addictive and functions as a stimulant in the CNS. The drug is produced by numerous unlawful labs, in United States. Methamphetamine is directly associated with toxic chemicals. The toxic substances are often employed as ingredients in the manufacture of the drug, which significantly contributes to the drug’s toxicity and its perilous…

  • Radiation Effect and Human Disease Correlation

    Radiation results from the decay of unstable nuclei to give out particles that could destroy normal tissues leading to diseases such as cancer. Radioactive elements are referred to as ionizing radiations that can impact the chemical and physical traits of the molecules they are exposed to. Radiation comprises high-energy particles, containing alpha, beta, and gamma…

  • Gene Modification: Means of Disease Prevention

    Table of Contents Introduction Experimentation and Collection of Data Data Interpretation and Evaluation Reference Introduction This research was motivated by the observation of a faulty mutant MYBPC3 gene copy causing a lethal heart disease in people who have inherited it. Since the nature of the disorder is genetical, it was assumed gene modification with the…

  • Disease Emergence in Multi-Patch Stochastic Epidemic Models

    Introduction The paper by Nipa and Allen (2020) focused on disease emergence in multi-patch stochastic epidemic models with demographic and seasonable variability. The investigation uses stochastic models in formulating variability that is both seasonal and demographic. Estimating a disease outbreak is through multi-type branching and application of backward Kolmogorov differential equation. Description of the Problem…

  • Cell Organelles in Health and Diseases

    Organelles Organelles are structures in a cell that have specific functions such as energy production and controlling growth. These cellular structures are embedded in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, they enable cellular processes to take place normally. Animal and plant cells have the same types of organelles. However, there are particular types…

  • Sickle Cell Anemia as a Gene Mutation Disease

    DNA mutations modify a genetic code’s meaning, leading to many congenital and acquired malformations. These genetic aberrations are multifactorial, and their effects range from mild to fatal. This discussion post reviews sickle cell anemia, an autosomal recessive disorder that emanates from substitution mutations in the DNA. In this condition, the anomaly is in chromosome 11,…
