Biodiversity and Human Values

17.0K
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 Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

1.6K
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 Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

13.4K
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

6.4K
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...

Compounds Essential to Human Function01:25

Compounds Essential to Human Function

10.1K
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...

Role of Water in Human Biology01:27

Role of Water in Human Biology

13.0K
Water is the one of the most significant components of the human body; it plays a crucial role in several physiological activities because of its unique physicochemical properties. Importantly, it helps to regulate body temperature and is the chief component of several body fluids.
Water's Solvent Properties
Since water is a polar molecule with slightly positive and slightly negative charges, ions and polar molecules can readily dissolve in it. Therefore, it is referred to as a solvent, a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cyclospora species are significant protistan pathogens.
  • Cyclospora cayetanensis causes gastrointestinal disease (cyclosporiasis) via fecal-oral route.
  • Extra-intestinal complications can occur, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and control of cyclosporiasis.
  • To explore the prevalence and geographical distribution of Cyclospora.
  • To highlight the underestimated health impact of cyclosporiasis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on Cyclospora.
  • Synthesis of information on pathogenesis and epidemiology.
  • Analysis of available data on prevalence and distribution.

Main Results:

  • Cyclosporiasis's impact on human health is likely underestimated.
  • Limited epidemiological data exist for Cyclospora as a water and food-borne pathogen.
  • Geographical distribution and prevalence require further investigation.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced understanding of Cyclospora is needed.
  • Recommendations for future research, prevention, and control are proposed.
  • International collaboration is crucial for managing cyclosporiasis.
