                                                      Fragile X Syndrome Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems, including learning disabilities  and cognitive impairment.   It is the most common  inherited cause of intellectual disability. Causes:- A mutation in the X chromosome's FMR1 gene results in fragile X syndrome. The protein FMRP, which is necessary for brain development, is either absent or decreased as a result of this mutation. Inheritance:- The inheritance pattern for fragile X syndrome is X-linked dominant. This indicates that the disorder can be brought on by a single copy of the mutant gene. Because they only have one X chromosome, males are more likely than females to be impacted. But women can also be impacted, and their symptoms can differ greatly. Symptoms:- Mild to moderate intellectual disability is possible, and it is frequently more severe in men. Developmental delays: Delays in motor abilities, speech, and

                                              Understanding Space Anemia  First of all , just know what does the term Anemia means? Anemia is a blood disorder characterized by a lower than normal number of red blood cells or a decrease in the quality of red blood cells. This results in a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Causes of Anemia Anemia can be caused by several factors, including: Blood loss: This can occur due to injuries, heavy menstrual bleeding, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Increased red blood cell destruction: Certain diseases or conditions can cause the body to destroy red blood cells faster than they can be replaced. Decreased red blood cell production: The bone marrow may not produce enough red blood cells due to factors such as nutritional deficiencies, genetic disorders, or medications. So, basically, if anemia occurs, it is either due to dietary deficiency or some metabolic issues.  But if we talk about space anemia. it is a co

                ALICE IN THE WONDERLAND SYNDROME  We have all read and heard about this fictional story and journey from innocent childhood to youth and finally into adulthood , but nobody could have imagined that the dreams of that young girl could become a nightmare for some ailing people and become a full blown syndrome. Today I will introduce you to the condition called “Alice in the wonderland Syndrome “. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is a neurological condition that causes distorted perceptions of the body and the environment. People experiencing AIWS may feel like their body is growing or shrinking, or that objects around them are changing size. Causes: Migraines: AIWS is often associated with migraines. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants and antihistamines, can trigger AIWS. Underlying medical conditions: Viral infections, epilepsy, and tumors can also cause AIWS. Substance abuse: Drugs and alcohol can induce AIWS-like symptoms. Symptoms

Understanding the extinction of Y-chromosome- Beginning of this end of human era Importance of Y- chromosome  The Y chromosome plays a crucial role in human reproduction, primarily responsible for determining male sex and initiating male development. Key points of its role:- Sex Determination: The Y chromosome contains the SRY gene , which is the master switch for male development. When present, it triggers the development of male reproductive organs, such as testes and prostate.  Spermatogenesis: The Y chromosome also carries genes essential for sperm production. These genes help regulate the process of spermatogenesis, ensuring the development of healthy sperm. Male Fertility: The presence of the Y chromosome is vital for male fertility. Mutations or deletions in certain regions of the Y chromosome can lead to infertility or reduced sperm quality. In essence, the Y chromosome is a key factor in the biological pathway that leads to male development and reproductive function.   Afte

                                   Monkey Pox Virus  This virus causes an infectious viral disease which can affect humans and other animals. Orthopox virus belonging from the family of variola virus (smallpox) causes this disease . It got its name because this condition was first observed in laboratory monkeys, hence the name. In the year 2022 also, India reported certain cases of monkey pox, but in this year 2024, this condition has originated in a rapid manner all across the globe. Earlier it was endemic to the African region. At least  99,176 cases and 208 deaths due to monkeypox have been reported from 116 countries since 2022, according to WHO data. ( The Indian Express) Causes and Spread:- Orthopox virus Direct contact with the infected person Having multiple sexual partners It spreads through body fluids like blood  Symptoms of Mpox Symptoms typically begin within 3-21 days after exposure and include: Fever Headache Muscle aches Backache Chills Fatigue Swollen lymph no

                                           SHOCKING BUT TRUE! A recent study carried out by an international team of experts from University of Maryland, University of Belgrade, University of Sharjah, Case Western Reserve University has certainly revealed and established a relationship between dental hygiene and heart attack. YES! Since we have always heard that heart attacks are sudden and death cannot be predicted for patients with cardiovascular conditions. But it has been evidently shown that our body does give us signs of the underlying disease. In this case, loss of teeth has been associated with heart conditions. Let’s discuss why early loss of teeth occurs:- Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease) Tooth Decay (Cavities) Oral Trauma Chronic Illnesses Genetic Predisposition These conditions leads to the loss of teeth but a infected tooth can become a medium to spread serious infections in our body, so after careful examination dentists tend to remove the pathogenic tooth but till then
