is helpful because many genes‚ especially ones that will be discussed‚ are large and difficult to fit inside a small virus. Other types of viral vectors have similar qualities and all‚ or a combination‚ have been utilized for diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis‚ Sickle Cell Anemia‚ Emphysema‚ HIV infection and multiple types of cancer as well as other rarer disorders (5). Along with gene replacement‚ there are forms of gene therapy that deal with inactivating a disease-causing gene or introducing a completely

Physical Therapy is a rehabilitation program that focuses on treating a person’s injury by using some type of physical activity to regain strength in certain parts of the body. Some of the most common physical therapy types are geriatric‚ neurological‚ cardiopulmonary‚ exercise‚ pediatric‚ and orthopedic. Without these methods of physical therapy‚ a person’s injury will not complete the healing process correctly. Of course there are drugs and medicines that could help take some of the pain away‚

The benefits of vitamin E are now fairly well established. Out of a controversial past it has become clear that vitamin E plays important roles as an antioxidant‚ in your immune system‚ in preventing heart disease and even in helping prevent cancer. As if this wasn’t enough‚ the research continues into other beneficial effects that vitamin E may have. It’s not particularly easy to come by however meaning if you want to get all the benefits you probably should consider a supplement to your

The tests can detect mutations associated with rare genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis‚ sickle cell anemia‚ and Huntington’s disease. Gene tests may

protection of personal information. Confidentiality means keeping a client’s information between you and the patient‚ and not telling others including friends and family. (Learning‚ n.d.). For example‚ the information about a child suffering from Cystic Fibrosis should not be disclosed to anyone other than the child and his/her parents. Confidentiality involves restricting patient’s information and not disclosing personal data of patients indiscriminately. For example‚ telling friends and talking about

Whitwell explained that bronchial dilation is characterized by the deficiency of elastin and disease advances by the destruction of muscle and cartilage. Due to the presence of lymphoid follicles in the bronchial wall‚ the inflammatory response occurs in the small airway. This inflammation causes the release of mediators such as proteases which in turn damage the large airway causing bronchial dilation. This further causes impaired mucus secretion which obstructs the airway due to retention of secretions

but is would eventually end up to diminish variability within the gene pool‚ the raw material of natural selection. Embryo selection can reduce the chances of a baby being born with several serious genetic diseases like Down’s Syndrome & cystic fibrosis. Embryo selection for gender can eliminate gender specific genetic diseases that may run in the family like breast cancer and haemophilia. Scientists can also produce a savior sibling‚ a child who is born to provide an organ/ cell/ cord blood

Pellagra is caused by the deficiency of niacin and/or tryptophan in our diet. Niacin also called vitamins B-3 is a water-soluble vitamin‚ it means it is not stored in the body and they are excreted from the body through urine or feces. That is the reason why the body need regular supply of this vitamins in our diet. Its main function is to help the cellular metabolic pathway to convert food to energy. Niacin is found in poultry‚ tuna and other fish‚ enriched bread and cereals‚ beef‚ and peanuts
