1.      Introduction Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a serious medical condition in which a portion of the heart becomes thickened thus that affects the normal pumping ability of the heart (Maron, Bonow, Cannon III, Leon, & Epstein, 1987) . The muscles of the heart becomes abnormally thick thus heart there is great pressure on the heart to pump blood to the entire body. 2.      Risk Factors The following are the risk factors more closely associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Maron & Maron, 2013) are as follows: Familial history of cardiomyopathy Diabetes or other metabolic diseases A disease that could lead to cardiomyopathy such as coronary heart disease Unexplained syncope Maximum left ventricular wall thickness   3.      Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy It is an inherited heart condition in which muscular thickening occurs thus separating the right and the left ventricle of the heart. That obstruct...

Aging is one of the sad realities of life. With growing age when an individual exceeds in knowledge and wisdom, he/she also gets weaker and falls prey to many diseases. Aging is a result of cellular damage occurring with the passage of time. Parkinson’s disease is among several age-related diseases and is the second most common neurodegenerative disease around the globe. This disease is named after James Parkinson , who was a British physician, and first diagnosed it in the year 1817 and described it in his writing “An essay on the Shaking Palsy”. It is a progressive disease in which dopaminergic neurons have deteriorated mainly in a specific region of the brain called substantia nigra, which is critically important in controlling the motor functions of the body. This neurodegeneration of causes a deficiency of dopamine in CNS. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter responsible for carrying signals between neurons and its deficiency results in decreased control of muscular movement. This...

1.     INTRODUCTION Bees are flying insects in the order Hymenoptera and are closely related to wasps and ants. They are also known commercially for their role in producing natural products, for example, Beewax, Bee pollen and Propolis. Cancer is one of the major ailment affecting humankind and remsins as one of the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Most recent studies have been found that several bee products have potential anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo . Several recent studies have reported that some natural bee products inhibit tumour cell growth (Premratanachai & Chanchao, 2014). Although pure bee venom, Apitoxin is mostly described to mediate Anti-inflammatory and Anticancer effects. (Aufschnaiter, et al ., 2020). Melittin, an amphipathic 26-residues peptide is the main component of honey bee venom. This agent has shown a variety of anticancer effects in all cell culture and animal model systems (Rady, et al ...

1. INTRODUCTION: Hypertension is an emerging global threat to human health. It is significantly contributing to mortality and morbidity [1]. It is a chronic condition in which elevated blood pressure is observed in arteries [2]. It is also known as Essential hypertension (EH). Blood pressure is expressed in terms of systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic blood pressure is defined as the pressure in blood vessels when heartbeats while diastolic blood pressure is defined as the pressure in blood vessels when the heart rests between the beats. In hypertensive condition, systolic blood pressure is ≥ 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure are ≥ 90mmHg [3]. Blood pressure normally falls and rises throughout the day, but if it stays high for a long time it can damage the heart and cause serious health problems e.g. brain haemorrhage. There are four stages of hypertension named as Pre-hypertension, Mild hypertension, Moderate hypertension and Severe hypertension. It is a common disorder that ...

The neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder in which the growth of the cells of nerve tissues are affected. In the last few years, the increased knowledge of science on neurofibromatosis has not just permitted good clinical management also decrease complication morbidity, resulting in the quality of life of neurofibromatosis patients has improved. In most cases, oncology, neurology, clinical geneticists and dermatology specialists are capable to create the differential prognosis between neurofibromatosis and other diseases and to determine NF complications. However, neurofibromatosis specialists are required for proper NF treatment and genetic analysis because of its variability in the progressive course, phenotype expression, and the involvement of various organs ( Rodrigues, L. O. C. et al., 2014) . 1 .      INTRODUCTION: The neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system. Neurofibromatosis is a cause of tumours formation on the neural tiss...
