Incomplete Dominance

Incomplete Dominance

Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs

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 of...

Habitat Fragmentation

Habitat Fragmentation

Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Parental Care

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Repressed Memory

Repressed Memory

Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) blur the line between communicable and non-communicable conditions. Some NTDs are risk factors for stroke, highlighting their global impact and need for attention.

Background:

The distinction between non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and communicable diseases is often unclear.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) share characteristics with neurological conditions like spatial neglect, particularly in their spatial distribution and management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the blurred lines between communicable and non-communicable diseases using an analogy between NTDs and spatial neglect.
To investigate the link between specific NTDs and stroke, a condition often leading to spatial neglect.

Main Methods:

Literature search of electronic databases including MEDLINE, WHO Tropical Diseases Research Division, and Google Scholar.
Systematic review of reference lists from relevant articles.

Main Results:

Spatial neglect, a common post-stroke complication, shares similarities with NTDs in terms of spatial preference and control difficulties.
At least three NTDs—Chagas disease, neurocysticercosis, and schistosomiasis—are identified as potential risk factors for stroke.

Conclusions:

NTDs represent a significant global health concern, extending beyond tropical regions.
The intricate relationship between NTDs and stroke underscores the importance of addressing these diseases to prevent neurological complications and reduce their overall burden.
