.... might contribute to the neurodegeneration observed in Huntington's disease. Part of the research was to analyze cerebral deletion levels in the temporal and frontal lobes. Research hypothesis: HD patients have significantly higher mtDNA deletionlevels than agematched controls in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cortex. To test the hypothesis, the amount of mtDNA deletion in 22 HD patients brains was examined by serial dilution-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and compared the results with mtDNA deletion levels in 25 aged matched controls. Brain t .....

.... ducts by the abnormal secretions. They consist of such symptoms as chronic obstructive airways disease, pancreatic insufficiency and malabsorption, high electrolyte concentrations in sweat, sterility due to vas deferens obliteration, and subclinical cirrhosis of the liver . However, as the severity of these symptoms varies in different patients, and because of the presence of normal lungs after birth, it is difficult to make an early accurate prognosis (Bunch 95). The presence of mucus in the lungs provides a site where bacteria or viruses are easily caught .....

.... type III ( HTLV-III ), but later they renamed it HIV-1 because several more forms were discovered. After the virus enters the bloodstream, it destroys white blood cells ( T-lymphocytes). Since they play a big role in the immune system, their presence is very damaging. also infects another part of the immune system. Once the virus gets to the macrophages, it doesn't destroy them, but instead it stores it there. Later the macrophages carry the virus to other vital systems. Early detection is a key factor in saving lives. Even though the infected person can .....

.... we must have a quick look at the history of treating people with Chinese drug therapy. Treatment is accomplished by utilizing two basic theories, Traditional Chinese Medicine(TMC) and Tuina therapy. The practitioner questions their patient about their symptoms and examines their tongue, palpates their pulse and body, and observes condition of color, smell, voice, posture, or movement.

These issues have many feminists and doctors having heated arguments over whether or not to abolish, regulate or just let the infertility drugs go on there course. Th .....

.... the body and also is involved in nerve cell repair, comes in three alleles, e2, e3, and e4. Those with one or two e4 alleles are deemed at higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, although those who possess APOE-e4 are not guaranteed to develop the disease. APOE-e4 may simply be unable to efficiently repair nerve cells. The presence of e4 does not signify if person will develop Alzheimer's; instead, it signifies when he or she will get it. Recent studies suggest that Alzheimer's may be affected by an interaction between APOE and the newly discovered risk factor al .....

.... American research, scientist Robert Gallo at the National Cancer Institute, one of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and a group headed by American virologist Jay Levy at the University of California at San Francisco isolated a retrovirus from people with AIDS and from individuals having contact with people with AIDS. All three groups of scientists had isolated what is now known as HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In 1995 HIV was estimated to infect almost 20 million people worldwide, and several million of those people had developed AIDS .....
