mutations. Females who possess one copy of the mutated DMD gene are at an increased risk of developing problems with various types of muscle tissue, including cardiac muscle tissue8,9. In one study, the origin of X chromosomes was studied using androgen receptor alleles. The inheritance of the DMD mutation was based on the individual’s mother or analysis of the mutation locus on Xp21. In a majority of the cases studied, the inactive X chromosome was parental 73% of the time and the DMD mutation…
INTRODUCTION ` Human Sexual dimorphism as its basic element of identity is genetically determined and determines the natural path of social development and cultural heritage. Complementarity of the morphological phenotype characteristics and behavioral of the men and women is part of the genetic program of human nature-oriented implementation of the basic tasks to fulfill in life, which is to have offspring, which in turn is, related to its fertility. This consists of the ability to produce…
hyperplasia is the benign enlargement of the prostate gland common in male age 50 and above, black males are at a higher risk compared to their white counterparts. Although, advancing in age is considered a contributing factor for BPH, androgen secretion, its receptors function, the presence of both testes, and the formation of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and its maintenance level contributes to prostate enlargement, therefore monitoring the above is recommended. In addition, common…
Abstract Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrine disorder in women. It goes undiagnosed for many years and usually is not discovered until a woman is trying to conceive a child. Polycystic ovarian syndrome causes infertility, weight gain, acne, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, unwanted hair, hair loss, irregular cycles, and countless more symptoms. It is one of the most common endocrine disorders, but so much is unknown about it. Diagnoses starts with a blood panel, then and…
Working with the small intestine, there are three essential accessory organs that work in conjunction to the small intestine to help absorb nutrients. The first is the pancreas. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum. These enzymes are meant to break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The pancreas is also responsible for making insulin, which is secreted into the blood. Insulin helps to regulate and monitor are blood sugar content. The next accessory organ is the liver.…

There are strong pregnancy warnings for patients using isotretinoin. What are the birth defects that may occur as a result of isotretinoin use and how common are they? Introduction: Almost everyone can expect to experience acne to some degree during their lifetime. Acne is characterized by noninflammatory, open or closed comedones and by inflammatory pustules, papules or nodules. It affects mostly the dense skin area with lots of sebaceous follicles such as face, back and upper part of the…
Introduction I believe that psychopaths occur by nature rather than nurture. this research will prove if psychopaths are born or made meaning are the traits heredity or does their environment make them who they are. if the results are due to nature ( they were born that way) then it would be due to a genetic disorder in the prefrontal cortex which controls personality, impulse control and emotional reactions and complex behaviours. Image to show location of Prefrontal Cortex Figure 1 if the…
6.5 and 8 percent of women overall.1 PCOS is a condition that can cause women to have irregular periods, grow extra facial hair, gain weight and become obese. The exact cause of PCOS is unclear but it is usually caused by excessive production of androgens by the ovaries. Most patients with PCOS are overweight or obese, with obesity being reported in 30 to 75 percent of PCOS patients. Therefore, diet and exercise to lose weight is the first-line intervention for most PCOS patients. However, due…
