EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research01:21

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.4K
Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are excellent models for disease research because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into most cell types. Somatic cells from a patient are isolated and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. These iPSCs are later differentiated into the desired cell type, which mirrors the diseased cell of the patient. In this way, disease models have been created for investigating diseases such as Down syndrome, type I diabetes,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

987
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.0K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

480
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.0K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

841
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common inherited blood disorder with significant mortality risks.
  • Improved healthcare and treatments have increased SCD patient life expectancy, leading to more women reaching reproductive age.
  • Pregnancy in women with SCD carries increased risks for maternal and fetal complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of sickle cell disease on pregnancy outcomes.
  • To review effective management strategies for SCD-related pregnancy complications.
  • To compare maternal and perinatal outcomes across different international studies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on SCD and pregnancy.
  • Analysis of maternal and perinatal complications in SCD patients.
  • Synthesis of data on pregnancy management and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • SCD adversely affects pregnancy, increasing risks of pre-eclampsia, preterm labor, IUGR, and abortions.
  • Enhanced medical care, including hydroxyurea, prophylaxis, and vaccination, improves outcomes.
  • Prenatal and preimplantation genetic diagnostics offer options for healthy births.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive management during pregnancy is crucial for better maternal and fetal outcomes in SCD patients.
  • Continued research and improved healthcare access are vital for managing SCD pregnancies globally.
  • Advanced diagnostic tools empower couples with SCD to plan for healthy offspring.
