Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer is the second biggest cause of death in India, growing at 11 per cent annually. From a total of 58 million deaths worldwide in 2005, cancer accounts for 7.6 million of all deaths. Deaths from cancer in the world are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 9 million people dying from cancer in 2015 and 11.4 million dying in 2030. The burden of cancer doubled globally between 1975 and 2000. It is estimated that it will double again by 2020 and nearly triple by 2030. In this review we attempted to explore the comprehensive review of cancer threat, phases of cancer, role of genes, retro-viruses in exaggeration of cancer in present scenario and paradigm shift in the discovery of newer targeting molecules for cancers....
Infantile spasms or epileptic spasms remain one of the most catastrophic seizure types in childhood. West syndrome is an age-dependent expression of a damaged brain and most patients with infantile spasms have some degree of developmental delay. Although the unifying epileptogenic mechanism is unknown, various underlying disorders cause ISs. These disorders are often classified into prenatal, perinatal and postnatal groups. Symptoms associated with West syndrome usually begins during the first year of life. The average age of onset for epileptic spasms is at 6 months. About 70-80% of patients have abnormal findings on neuroimaging studies. In general, corticosteroids and vigabatrin remain the most commonly used treatments, but other therapies are also widely prescribed....
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a health problem brought on by means of a virus more specifically, a corona virus called MERS Corona Virus (CoV). Quite often it’s influences Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) with signs of fever, cough and shortness of breath. MERS-CoV is a novel that induced SARS first identified in Saudi Arabia in September 2012. The contamination seems to be the effect of spread of the virus from camels to humans, leading to limited person-to-person spread but not sustained transmission in humans. Those who handle camels are at higher risk of MERS-CoV infection than people who don’t have normal close contacts with camels. MERS-CoV has not been previously identified in humans. Still medication treatments are not available but some precautions should be focused. Now, it is easily identified by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)....
