Zollinger -Ellison syndrome

  This is a very rare condition where small tumors known as Gastrinoma developed in the digestive tract. Specially on the Stomach but in the other part also like small intestine, Pancreas etc.
    This tumors secrete Gastrin which is a hormone, in large amount. Gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion a great deal. The excessive secretion of gastric acid try to neutralize the mucous membrane on the inner part of the stomach and therefore causes inflammation here and there which ultimately turn into ulcer. In common tounge we called it gastric ulcer.
    Once a people got effected with this syndrome are often hard to cure.
    This syndrome can appear at any age but the people in between 30 - 60 age group are more vulnerable to this.
    Once developed the tumours can spread upto liver and lymph nodes and turn to cancer.

Wi-Fi and it's effect on human helth

At present day we all Know what is Wi-Fi?  And how important is this technology on our day to day life? Online life, rather I should say. Jokes apart,  Wi-Fi technology becomes the integral part of our daily life since its introduction in 1997. But are we completely aware about it's ill effect on our health? The answer is 'no'.   Today we will discuss this topic on my post.   The scientists and research scholars have performed countless experiment to explore it. And the results are very shocking. In a nutshell it can be said that Wi-Fi can effect horribly over our health especially in children. Wi-Fi  creates a electromagnetic filed and those who are exposed to this electro magnetic radiation suffer from insomnia quite a lot. The development of hypertension and depression have also been linked with this. The electromagnetic radiation caused by Wi-Fi can stop the cell growth partially or completely. It horribly damages the brain cells and markedly reduce bra...

Aquaporin

We all know our cell membrane possesses different types of protein some of them are peripheral and others are integral. Aquaporin are integral proteins found in the cells which help to transport water from one cell to another. According to their function they are named as water channel .    Just take a look at their name Aquaporin , here Aqua means water and porin means pore or channel. So it is clear from there name, that they form pores on the surface of biological membranes, and mainly water transports through it.    This channels are composed mainly of six transmembrane Alpha helices. As they are integral proteins so they embedded in the cell membrane, the amino and carboxyl ends face the inside half of the cell.    Aquaporin creats four part clusters in the cell membrane, they are the monomers and all of them serves as water channel.   In mammals there are 13 known types are present ,it is astonishing that among them 6 are present in kidney ...

Nerve Gas

  These are one one kind of phosphorus containing organic chemicals (known as organophosphate ) which distrupt the total procedure of neuro muscular transmission by inhibiting the enzyme Acetyl choline estarase at the synaptic cleft.   Nerve gases divide into two subclasses 1. G series : Tabun,  Satin,  Soman are common among them. 2. V series : VE,  VG,  VM, VR.   Some insecticides such as Dichlorvos , Parathion , Malathion fall in this genre.
