Arnica vs prescriptions drugs

http://www.healthyfellow.com/527/arnica-montana-for-pain-relief/
Arnica is a flower that is used as a pain reliever for sore muscles. There have many many debates on if arnica really works and the benefits and defaults of using it. Arnica is becoming very popular these days and more and more people are starting to use it. People will sometimes ask there doctors about it before they use it but after that it is an over the counter drug or you can just call the pharmacies to prescribe it for you.

Taking Anti-Depressants during Pregnancy

Overview: This blogpost is about the effects of taking SSRIS during pregnancy. SSRIs are anti-depressants. It provides information on the potential birth defects and disorders taking anti-depressants while pregnant can cause. It is most commonly linked with autism but more research is needed.

Stroke

The topic of strokes is extremely important as it is the 5th leading cause of Death, every 40 seconds someone experiences a stroke, and in 4 minutes someone will have died from a stroke. Also, over 80% of strokes can be prevented through correct education.

Neurobiology of Hallucinations

Hallucinations

Hallucinations are things such as an image, sound, or a smell that seems real, but does not really exist. These are usually caused by a mental illness, effects to a drug, or have endured injury. Hallucinations are not limited towards injured or ill people, but healthy people may experience hallucinations as well. Neurobiology is the study of cella of the nervous system and the organization of those cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. When hallucinations occur, the brain divides into two parts. The topological emphasizes abnormal activity in specific regions and horological emphasizes the change in activity of pathways connecting different regions of the brain. They may also occur because of modifications in the cerebral cavity, the front section, of the brain.

CRISPR Cas9 and it's potential commercial use

CRISPR Cas9 is a breakthrough in the world of genetics and many other fields as well, it is faster and cheaper than all other genetic editing tools. CRISPR acts as a cut and paste tool, allowing you to take out unwanted DNA and replace it with new ones. This works by using the Cas9 component of the chemical that is an enzyme that lets us remove or insert certain parts of the gene.Then, a certain type of called guide RNA (gRNA). This consists of a small pieces of a pre-designed RNA sequence found in a longer RNA "scaffold". The "scaffold" part binds to DNA and the pre-designed sequence guides Cas9 to the right part of the genome. This makes sure that the Cas9 enzyme cuts at the right part in the sequence of genetic information. This breakthrough has the potential to change pets foods, and even our babies. The morality is up for debate on whether this is acceptable. However this is a breakthrough and will change many things in genetic nevertheless.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an x-linked recessive disorder, and is therefore more common among boys. DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1/3500 of boys. Patients with muscular dystrophy do not properly express the protein dystrophin, which is essential for muscle function. The muscles of DMD patients become weaker over time because their muscle fibers are replaced with fat and scar tissue instead of satellite cells. There is currently no cure for DMD, but scientists are experimenting with new treatments, many of which involve using stem cells and the alteration of the patient's DNA. This relates to what we learned about genetic inheritance since it is a genetic disorder and it also relates to the structure of cells and proteins because the mitochondria of patients with DMD don't function properly and do not express the protein dystrophin correctly. People with DMD are not able to live a normal life because they are unable to perform normal activities, such as walking and later on, eating. For this reason, DMD patients need extensive daily care.
