Alzheimer’s General Summary Alzheimer’s is a dementing illness (causes loss of mental functions like memory or thought)‚ and between 60 and 80% of all dementing illness is produced by Alzheimer’s‚ making it the most common form of dementia in older people. Alzheimer’s first appears in people after the age of 60‚ and in all individuals over the age of 65‚ an estimated 5% have the disease. Just like dementia in general‚ the odds of getting Alzheimer’s doubles every five years after 65 years of age

RABIES Abstract: Each year‚ approximately 55‚000 individuals worldwide die from an infection due to the rabies virus. Rabies is a life-threatening disease caused by an RNA virus that is usually transmitted to humans through bites from rabid animals. More recently‚ reports of transmission by means of organ transplantation have been reported. Since human rabies is nearly 100% fatal if prophylactic measures are not followed‚ an increased awareness of who should receive prophylaxis and

Parasites: Uncovering the Role of the Parasite Host Relationship According to the CDC around seventeen percent of Americans are infected with only one type of parasite. This figure did not take into account all the species of parasites‚ nor the percentage of the undeveloped world infected‚ and when taken into consideration the figures are staggering. Parasites are organisms that make their living by residing attached to or within another organism. They use the organism for food‚ shelter‚ and

Antioxidants Antioxidants are natural compounds that are present in some foods‚ which help stabilize free radicals (a harmful unstable molecule produced naturally in the body as a bi-product of oxidation) and prevent them from damaging other cells. Importance of antioxidants Free radicals that are formed in the body are highly dangerous‚ as they are unstable molecules with an odd number of electrons. Since they have an odd number of electrons they seek and steal electrons from

Curcumin has been found to be a potent inhibitor of tumour growth and cell proliferation. This activity is linked to curcumin’s antioxidant effect and free radical scavenging effect (Akram et al‚ 2010). It inhibits cancer development and progression‚ thereby targeting multiple steps to malignancy. It has the ability to act like a blocking agent thereby inhibiting the initiation step of cancer by preventing the activation of carcinogen‚ and also as a suppressing agent thereby inhibiting malignant

Mitochondria are one of the most abundant organelles‚ which exercise various essential roles and function to all living things. Often time‚ this tremendous organelle is referred to as the powerhouse of the cell‚ due to their essential function in production of energy. The production of ATP‚ and regulation of intracellular calcium levels is also of great importance in the survival of neurons‚ which are cells in the brain‚ that make part of the Central Nervous System (CNS).
