Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

17.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Human Genetics

1.7K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Requirements for Human Life

14.2K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Role of Proteins in the Human Body

6.7K
Proteins are the building block of life. They are also  the most abundant macromolecules with as many diverse roles in the body. They are part of many structural components that provide unique shapes and structures to animal cells, tissues, and organs. In addition, they also act as biological catalysts and carry out several anabolic and catabolic reactions. Notably, some proteins are chemical messengers and regulate many critical processes, such as metabolism, growth, and development. They...

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs01:28

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs

3.3K
Maslow's hierarchy is described with the help of a pyramidal shape. The most fundamental needs, physiological needs, are at the bottom of the pyramid.
Physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, sex, physical comfort, and survival are at the bottom of the pyramid. These are the components that are necessary to sustain life. Once the first level of needs has been met, the second level arises.
Safety needs include stability and predictability. Protection and freedom from danger are all a part...

Compounds Essential to Human Function01:25

Compounds Essential to Human Function

10.5K
The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Virology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • A century-old human encephalomyelitis, Vilyuisk encephalitis, affects indigenous populations in Russia's Sakha Republic.
  • The Vilyuisk River Valley is endemic for this neurological disorder.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical, pathological, and epidemiological features of Vilyuisk encephalitis.
  • To investigate the causative agent of Vilyuisk encephalitis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Vilyuisk encephalitis.
  • Analysis of the genetic relationship of implicated viruses.

Main Results:

  • Vilyuisk encephalitis presents unique clinical and neuropathological findings.
  • The Vilyuisk human encephalitis virus (VHEV) is genetically distinct, belonging to a separate clade of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV).

Conclusions:

  • Recent discoveries of theiloviruses and VHEV's genetic sequence suggest a potential human-TMEV recombinant origin for Vilyuisk encephalitis.
  • Further research is needed to confirm the recombinant nature and transmission dynamics of VHEV.
