There are many ways to find a diagnosis in modern medicine. One of the ways to do this is by using IV contrast in the body. The IV contrast demonstrates internal anatomy, but there are some side-effects with using this imaging tool. Diabetic patients who are taking certain medications can be harshly affected from the IV contrast going into their body. "The diabetic medication that is most known for causing bodily harm is metformin. Metformin is in the drug class biguanide, which decreases the…

Most people don’t give much thought to their pancreas until it stops doing its job. But, this tiny organ has a big job. It is responsible for making the hormone insulin, which helps your body turn carbohydrates from foods to energy for the body. When the pancreas stops making insulin or doesn’t make enough, or the cells do not respond to the bodies insulin, the result is a blood glucose level that is too high. Some people are born with a genetic susceptibility, are exposed to environmental…

It is known that an organism can self-regulate and produce energy at a molecular basis within a cell. Catabolic and anabolic chains of events that drive metabolism are mostly successful due the organization of the body. The digestive system is able to absorb nutrients because of the organs such as the stomach; intestine and the liver. Glucose is one of the most important compounds that are needed for cellular respiration in animals, With that said, the liver is graded as an essential organ for…

According to experts autism can be linked with different types of food allergies & sensitivities. Experts provide adept treatment for autism via prescribing special diet to the child. Three most popular diet & vitamin interventions for autism include the following: o The casein & gluten free diet o Vitamin B-12, A, D and C supplements. o Cod liver oil. The real cause of autism is unknown. Hence, any treatment linked to diet for autism should be confirmed with a professional first. a) The Casein…

Approximately 5.9 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes, and about 65 percent of these people will also develop neuropathy — nervous system damage that can cause people with diabetes to lose feeling in their hands or feet. This condition is just one reason why Louise E. Tortora, DPM, an ankle and foot care doctor in Fairfield, CT, educates her patients on the importance of diabetic foot care. If you have diabetes, here are a few reasons why you should have a diabetic foot care exam…

Speed bumps are a representation of life's many pauses. They were set in place to help you ease through your battles slowly. Speed bumps were never intended to slow you down to a sudden halt but instead placed a front of one's path to help them glide through life's many obstacles slowly. Some of the speed bumps that I faced was being a diabetic, high school, and learning how to conquer being shy. Diabetes is a silent deadly disease that works around the clock to destruct the body of many…

Canavan Disease is a progressive deadly gene linked neurological disorder. In 1931, Dr. Myrtelle Canavan, who was a physician and medical researcher, first described the syndrome. Dr. Rueben Matalon discovered the defect and duplicated the gene for the Canavan Disease. The disease starts in infancy, and at birth, most children with the disease appear ordinary. Within the first few months of life, children exhibit advanced physical and mental capabilities. A genetic mutation on chromosome…

Background: Type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1-DM) is the commonest endocrine-metabolic disease in childhood. The prevalence of CD in type-1 DM ranges from 0.6 to 16.4% compared with 0.01–0.03% in the general population. The mechanism of association between the two diseases involves a shared genetic background of HLA genotype. Serum tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG IgA) are considered specific and sensitive markers for screening of Celiac disease in more than 95 % of patients. Objective:…

DPP4 is also known as CD26; ADABP; ADCP2; TP103 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of 110 kDa (DPP IV, EC3.4.14.5) that forms a homodimer or tetramer, which is ubiquitously expressed on the surface of a variety of cells particularly the kidney, liver, small intestine, and in a soluble form in plasma. This exopeptidase serine protease selectively cleaves L-proline or L-alanine at N-¬terminal dipeptides and inactivates the biologically active peptides from a variety of substrates including…
