  Five signs that the body needs better  nutrition : B rittle nails, Eyelid twitching, Clicking of the joints, P remature graying of the hair and Easy bruising, translated as Fatigue, Skin issues, Digestive problems, Brain Fog and Weak Immune System Here are five signs that your body may need more nutrition: 1. Fatigue and Low Energy - Feeling tired or sluggish throughout the day - Difficulty concentrating or staying focused - Needing excessive caffeine or sugar for energy 1. Skin Issues - Dry, dull, or acne-prone skin - Hair loss or brittle hair - Nail problems (brittle, thin, or slow-growing) 1.

  DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and Genes are fundamental concepts in Genetics. DNA Structure: 1. Double helix model 2. Composed of nucleotides (A, C, G, T) 3. Base pairing: A-T, G-C Gene Structure: 1. Sequence of nucleotides within DNA 2. Codes for proteins or functional RNA 3. Consists of:     - Exons (coding regions)     - Introns (non-coding regions)     - Promoters (regulatory regions) Gene Expression: 1. Transcription (DNA → RNA) 2. Translation (RNA → protein) 3. Regulation (epigenetics, transcription factors) Types of Genes: 1. Protein-coding genes 2. Non-coding genes (RNA, regulatory) 3. Pseudogenes (inactive) Genetic Inheritance: 1. Autosomal dominant/recessive 2. X-linked 3. Mitochondrial Genetic Variation: 1. Mutations (point, frameshift) 2. Genetic recombination 3. Gene duplication/deletion Applications: 1. Genetic engineering 2. Gene therapy 3. Personalized medicine 4. Forensic genetics Relationship between Genes and Enzymes: 1. Genes encode...

  The definition of pulmonary vascular disease is simply: any condition that affects the   blood   vessels along the route between the   heart   and   lungs . Blood travels from the  heart , to the lungs, and back to the heart. This process continually refills the blood with oxygen, and allows carbon dioxide be exhaled. Here's how the process works: Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body's tissues through the veins back to the right side of the heart. The right heart pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary  arteries  into the lungs. This blood becomes filled with oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood returns from the lungs back to the left side of the heart. The left heart pumps the oxygen-rich blood into the body through the  aorta  and many other arteries. Any part of the heart-lung blood circuit can become damaged or blocked, leading to pulmonary vascular disease. Causes of Pulmonary Vascular Disease The causes of pulmonary vascul...

  Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neurological disorder characterized by: 1. Involuntary muscle contractions on one side of the face. 2. Spasms typically begin around the eye and may spread to other facial muscles. Causes: 1. Compression of the facial nerve(CN7) by a blood vessel or tumor. 2. Bell's palsy or other facial nerve injuries. 3. Multiple sclerosis or other demyelinating diseases. 4. Stroke or cerebral vasculitis. Symptoms: 1. Intermittent or continuous spasms. 2. Eyelid twitching or closure. 3. Facial weakness or paralysis. 4. Difficulty smiling or speaking. Diagnosis: 1. Physical examination. 2. Electromyography (EMG). 3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 4. Facial nerve conduction studies. Treatment options: 1. Botulinum toxin injections (Botox). 2. Microvascular decompression surgery. 3. Medications (muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants). 4. Facial nerve decompression. Lifestyle modifications: 1. Stress reduction techniques. 2. Relaxation exercises. 3. Avoiding ca...
