·        Blockages in the flow of urine – That means repeated kidney stones or an enlarged prostate
·        Long-term,regular use of specific medicines – Such as lithium and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)

  • ·        Hemodialysis
  • ·        Peritoneal dialysis

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, inherited disease . It is a type of lipid metabolism disorder in which deficiency of an enzyme ( hexosaminidase A ) results in excessive accumulation of certain fats (lipids) known as gangliosides in the brain and nerve cells. It makes a lot of a fatty substance to develop in the brain. This development ruins nerve cells, causing mental and physical complications. Maximum people have two healthy sorts of this HEXA gene, which provides guidelines to your body to make an enzyme (a type of protein) known as Hex-A. This enzyme inhibits the development of a fatty substance, called GM2 ganglioside, in the brain and spinal cord. Infants usually begin to show signs of the disease between 3 months and 6 months of age. Children with Tay-Sachs disease can become deaf, blind and paralyzed, and generally die by the age of 5. Tay-sachs is named after two physicians Warren Tay, was an ophthalmologist who was the first to determine a red dot on the retina of on...

Gigantism Gigantism also called gigantism obtained from a Greek word gigas, is a Rare Endocrine Diseases characterized by excessive growth hormone which accelerates the growth of muscle, bones and connective tissue in childhood or youth before the end of puberty. It is always the consequence of a growth hormone secreting pituitary tumour. When left untreated or uncontrolled, some individuals suffering from gigantism have grown in excess of eight feet (2.4 m) tall. The most well-known example is that of Robert Wadlow, the tallest person in history. Cause Most common reason of gigantism is Pituitary gland tumor . The pea sized pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain; it makes hormones that control body temperature, metabolism growth, sexual development and urine production. Some other cause of gigantism is: ·          McCune-Albright disease is a disorder that causes unusual growth of bone tissues, gland irregu...

Sesquizygotic Twinning: What No One Is Talking About

Multiple births are progressively basic due to the advancing normal time of mothers and the related ascent in helped regenerative techniques, specifically the utilization of fertility drugs . Twins represent over 90% of numerous births. Twins are usually categorized into two that is – identical ( monozygotic ) and fraternal ( dizygotic ). Monozygotic twinning results in genetically identical individuals, whereas dizygotic twins share approximately 50% of their DNA sequence identity, as do full siblings. Sesquizygosity is a third form of rare twinning — whereby twins are genetically identical to each other with respect to one parent but differ from each other by approximately 50% with respect to the composition of DNA inherited from the other parent. It probably arises after heterogoneic assortment of two paternal genomes and one maternal genome during the first postzygotic cleavage division. Genetically, sesquizygosis can be viewed as on a continuum among monozygosis and...
