Genesis 1:1

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…

Diabetes is a chronic condition that results in having too much glucose/sugar in our body. Their two main types of Diabetes. Type 1, our pancreases make too little or no insulin.

pockets form. To tell what stage a person is in most doctors use the GOLD staging system. GOLD stands for “ Global Institute for Chronic Obstruction Lung Disease.” This is a specific test that measures the amount of air that a person can blow out in 1 second. This amount of air is called the forced exploratory volume (FEVI). vFrom the FEVI doctors group the patient into four stages. Stage one is the mild stage. The FEVI is 80% or more than normal. The second stage is moderate. The FEVI is less…

In the United States today, about 200,000 children aged 20 years or younger have type 1 diabetes (Article where came from on desk). Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) works very diligently to find a cure for this disease. To gather research for this topic, interviews were held with four people who are closely involved with JDRF and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In depth research was also done on the foundation and the horrible disease that takes people’s lives daily, known as T1D. T1D has…

condition which was observed by decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme levels in the present study and the drug treatment doesn’t show any noticeable effect on these parameters. Authors have hypothesized that observed effect may be due to the effect on GLP-1 agonistic activity and the evident was not shown to claim for this activity. The present…

eye exams. Educating diabetic patients on the importance of taking care of their diabetes is a crucial part in the process to prevent long term effects of diabetic retinopathy. The population being researched is adults 18 to 75 years of age, with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients had to get one eye exam, A1C tests, and an influenza vaccination that year. The intervention is the group of diabetic patients that were treated had to undergo an educational program to learn the…

3.1 NATEGLINIDE (Javed et. al., 2013) Nateglinide [N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine] is a novel, highly physiologic, glucose regulator recently approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Nateglinide has a rapid onset and short duration of insulinotropic action that results in reduction of glucose level. Nateglinide block the K-ion channels in pancreatic beta-cells, facilitating insulin secretion. In the present investigation formulation and evaluation of…

Blood sugar Why test his blood sugar level? Some diseases, such as diabetes, can cause damage to the pancreas, which affects insulin production negatively. The symptoms are often very weak. Many people may have the disease for a long time without knowing of it, and most have no symptoms at all. With this test, you will quickly find out if you have an elevated blood sugar level, which can be a sign of diabetes. The faster the disease down the faster the right treatment. How is the test…

July 24, 2002 about two weeks after turning seven years old, I fell ill and got admitted into the hospital. Days later I was approached by a doctor and told that I was diagnosed with diabetes. Like many children with juvenile diabetes, my family had no idea to be on the lookout for the symptoms and there are no regular checkups to determine a child’s diabetic status. If my mother would have been warned earlier about the symptoms and the disease itself, we could have taken preventive measures…
