Non-Infectious Diseases Basics * Non-infectious diseases (NIDs) are diseases NOT caused by a pathogen. They are also referred to as non-communicable diseases (NIDs). * Ex. include cancer‚ Parkinson’s and asthma. * A variety of causes contribute to NIDs including genetics‚ lifestyle choices‚ and nutrition. Two types of NIDs * NIDs are divided into 2 main groups: * Genetic diseases are caused by mutations in DNA or conditions affecting chromosomes. * Environmental

Colds are considered a viral infection‚ meaning they are caused by a virus. The only means of recovery is rest and drinking a lot of fluids. Taking cold medications will only help relieve the symptoms. Hepatitis‚ Viral Hepatitis can either be acute or chronic. That means‚ it can either be a temporary illness‚ or it can be a permanent condition

that have Parkinson disease appear to be random cases‚ but new studies have shown that specific genetic defects may increase the chances of developing Parkinson disease. Ten “Parkinson Disease Genes” have been identified‚ but only three specific genes have been found to be directly related to causing Parkinson disease. Recent investigations in familial-linked Parkinson disease have found that mutations in α-synuclein‚ parkin and DJ-1 have been clearly linked to Parkinson disease. The mutation in

Figure: DRD due to TH or BH4 deficiency can manifest as a recessive form (7814018) but cannot be called Segawa’s disease (17971156). Mutation of TH gene on 11 p15.5 (16541791) and def in the enzymes dihydropteridine reductase‚ sepiapterin reductase‚ and 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase‚ which play an important role in the synthesis of BH4 along with GCH1‚ can cause

[2][3] FRDA is an autosomal recessive disease with 1 in 50‚000 estimate prevalence in individuals. [3] A mutation occurs in a gene called frataxin (FXN) gene‚ which is located in chromosome 9q13-q21.1‚ and it encodes 210 amino acid protein‚ frataxin.

Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy are the two disease which are investigated and through the use of Neurons in Action lab simulations‚ we saw the effects that demyelination and channelopathy can have. As my hypothesis guessed‚ demyelination is the main cause of multiple sclerosis and channelopathy is the main cause of epilepsy.

What causes viral diseases? Viral infections occur when a virus enters the body and invades the inside of the body’s cells in order to reproduce. If the body’s immune system is unable to fight off the virus‚ it multiplies and spreads to other cells‚ repeating the process and leading to a widespread infection. Signs & Symptoms of rabies One of the most distinctive signs of a rabies infection is a tingling or twitching sensation around the area of the animal bite. In people‚ symptoms of rabies include
