Extractions: Special to GeneInformation.org Engineers have invented some astonishing machines jets that fly faster than sound, computers that perform trillions of calculations every second, submarines that operate in the crushing pressures at the bottom of the deepest ocean. Nothing ever built by humans comes close, though, to the amazing complexity of our own bodies. Every human starts out as no more than single cell, an egg that has been fertilized by a sperm. But from that simple beginning, the cell transforms itself into a complete organism, piece by piece, gathering its own raw materials and then turning them into a body made up of trillions of cells that fall into more than 200 categories. Somehow, that original cell knows how to construct bone, skin, heart, muscle, brain, blood, liver. It knows how to create an army of immune-system cells to detect and destroy harmful invaders. It knows how to make cells that pump out enzymes and hormones that perform or regulate hundreds of different body functions. It knows how to string together an incredibly complicated communications networkthe nervous systemto let the body move and react and think in a coordinated way, directing it, among other things, to keep itself supplied with fuel and to make copies of itself. It knows, in short, how to build the most complicated piece of machinery on Earth, and how to keep the machinery running smoothly for more than 70 years, on average.

Thomas's School of Medicine, London and Dr K Ray Chaudhuri , King's College Hospital and Guy's King's ST. Thomas's School of Medicine, London Huntington's disease (HD) was described by George Huntington (1850-1916) who was born in Long Island, New York. He described this disorder in his only known written article called 'on chorea'. Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder (inherited due to a faulty gene) which usually affects people in their 40s and 50s. It primarily affects the brain, with a gradual loss of control of movement, memory and mental ability. HD is also associated with personality changes and depression as well as other mental illnesses. There is currently no cure for HD, although many strategies may be used to improve the quality of life for sufferers and their carers.

Extractions: Eating and Swallowing Sections of the following information are from the website: http://www.kumc.edu/hospital/huntingtons/swallowing.html Swallowing problems (also known as dysphagia) are common among people with HD. Statistics have repeatedly shown that the number one cause of death among person with HD is aspiration pneumonia. This can occur when food or liquid enters the airway rather than the esophagus during eating or drinking, and then forms a collection in the lungs that can become a pneumonia. The following is a list of swallowing problems with HD. Difficulty controlling amount of food or liquid intake Difficulty controlling rate of food or liquid intake Delayed swallow reflex Holding food in mouth Inability to swallow Chorea of the oral or pharyngeal muscles (tongue, lips, jaw, throat, esophagus)

Researchers from Kazakhstan, Russia and the UK are deeply concerned about the future of the saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica tatarica) after surveys from the air suggested numbers had fallen by 95% since the 1970s. The researchers believe this may be because the depletion of male saiga has altered the behaviour of females. Normally, a shortage of males is not necessarily a problem because one individual can mate with a large number of females. And saiga herds are organised in "harems" which should make this possible. However, in this case, it appears that dominant female saiga have started jealously guarding their males, driving away younger females. With only a small number of females being mated, numbers of saiga have plummeted. (C) BBC

I joined a number of Medics, for the first time, who 'Feed the Homeless' in Newcastle on a Saturday evening. This is the only night that the soup kitchen does not open. In the small group of homeless (about 20) that attend regularly, there were at least two with obvious mental health problems, Wernicke's encephalopathy and schizophrenia. Subsequent to this experience I decided to research health care, and health promotion services for homeless people, and write an article intended for a journal (e.g. Primary Health Care Journal / Public Health Journal / the BMJ). Health for the Homeless Shelter estimates that 365,000 people were accepted as 'homeless' by English councils in 1994. But this figure excludes the majority of single homeless people for whom no comprehensive national figures exist. The charity believes that 8600 people were sleeping rough in England in 1994. 'The health status of homeless people is extremely poor when compared to that of the general population' (Power et al.

Extractions: Supplemental Glossary - Biology 4104 Alzheimers disease (AD) - a progressive, severe loss of memory and function that affects older people mainly; autopsy reveals neural tangles and plaques; there may be several forms, with different antecedents; early-onset AD is associated with a gene (presenilin-1) on chromosome 14; other linkages are currently under investigation. Angelman syndrome - moderate retardation due to a small deletion on chromosome 15, when inherited from the mother. Bipolar disorder - a severe form of depression in which the person may cycle from a bout of depression to one of mania, with euphoria, inflated self-esteem, sleeplessness, racing thoughts, hyperactivity, and reckless behavior. Population incidence is about 1%. dementia - a loss of cognitive function associated with aging; about half the cases are due to AD; other cases are due to multiple small strokes (Multiple infarct dementia, MID), AIDS, head trauma, Huntingtons disease, and other causes. dog breeds - the many types of domesticated dogs are the result of selection for certain, different characteristics. In general, breeds are not fully inbred strains (like mouse strains), although they may be partially inbred. Down syndrome - one of the more common genetic anomalies; due to a triplication of chromosome 21 (or a third copy of 21 present as a translocation onto another chromosome); leads to retardation, and shortened life span.

Usually 30-55 years old, but can be earlier or later. Autosomal dominant genetic disorder ( i.e. if one parent has HD, there is a 50% chance of each child developing HD). See our separate guide to genetic conditions for a fuller explanation of genetic transmission. The gene for HD is on chromosome 4 and is involved in producing a protein called Huntingtin, but there is little more useful information on how this leads to damage to the central nervous system. Caudate nucleus atrophy with generalised cerebral atrophy and atrophy of the corpus striatum. The particular mechanisms are unknown. Progressive dementia with increasingly prominent choreiform movements and likely personality and behavioural changes.
