especially mobility. In recent decades, various types of portable or wearable systems have been introduced to help blind people. These systems improve their abilities either by restoring vision through stimulating proper part of the visual system (i.e. retina, optic nerve, or the visual cortex) [2] or by using other senses (i.e. sense of touch or hearing) [3]. Most of these systems require a module to capture the video and extract needed information with image processing (in some of these…

An alkalized body advances young skin, more profound rest, higher physical vitality, and lower danger of joint inflammation and osteoporosis. 7. Healthy Eyes: Kiwi is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which helps prevent light induced damage to the retina. Also eating 3 or more kiwis every day, has proven to decrease macular degeneration by 36%. 8. Improve Digestive Health: Kiwi contains Actinidain, a cysteine protease enzyme. The fluffy strands of kiwi fruit prevents food poisoning and…

antagonists are used to strengthen the receptors and transmitters in the basal ganglia and ensure for its effectiveness. Opioid agents offer defense against cell degeneration to the neuronal cells. Other agents protect the dopamine neurons and the retina. A new surgery that is being conducted requires numerous lesions within the brain. These lesions are made in critical sections which assist in controlling or ceasing areas of the brain that lead to tremor, which is a major side affect of…

Human Growth/Development and Disabilities Human growth and development involves many vital stages in human life. These stages comprise of physical, emotional, mental, and social developments. An individual may face many challenges when going through the motions of growth and development. An individual with a disability may face even more challenged during growth and development, however, all individuals have a disability or not have the ability to face challenges and become successful.

problems, Macular degeneration treatment Researchers Make Headway Against Macular Degeneration Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of eye loss in our aging population. It is a condition marked by a progressive deterioration of the retina. The condition can impeded a patient’s ability to see sharply or clearly, especially in their central vision. At this point there is no cure for this condition. However, there are several things that patients can do to help prevent the onset of…

Despite early failures that dismissed gene therapy as a viable means to treat disease and genetic disorder, decades of research have resulted in the development of safe and effective vectors, methods of targeting particular types of cells, and techniques to minimize and manage immune responses. In the process, scientist now know more about the disease-causing genes themselves than ever before, paving the way for the development of successful gene therapy treatments. As of now, people have been…

This is a disease where the retinas become detached and gradually split. Erik was thirteen when he entirely lost his eyesight. Some people would say that Erik was crazy for even thinking about risking his life on Everest. Erik was determined and did not care what anyone else…

useful in skin pigmentation, and the human growth hormone. The pineal gland, on the other hand, produces melatonin hormone, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. This gland is, however, controlled by light-sensitive neurons originating from the retina of each eye and stop at the hypothalamus. The pineal gland plays a different role in animals by guiding reproductive functions. Thalamus and Hypothalamus…

Richard Bright came up with the relationship between high blood pressure and kidney disease. Sir William Gowes linked the contractions of arterioles of the retina to increased arterial blood pressure. In 1950, people with high blood pressure were dying earlier than people with lower blood pressure. The mortality rate and high blood pressure was connected. Our blood pressure shifts from the beginning to the…
