Dilvani Oliveira Santos, Paulo Renato Zuquim Antas

Maison d'édition: Bentham Science Publishers

Synopsis

Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles that actively participatein the immune-inflammatory response in various pathologies. This volume updates readers onknowledge about mitochondria function. The editors have compiled six chaptersabout inflammation in its broadest sense, with contributions from active groupsof cell biologists, infectologists and pathologists.  The chapters in this volume focus on research related to five notablediseases:(1) two diseases (one bacterial and one viral) in which theexacerbation of the inflammatory response can lead to neuropathies: leprosy(one of the oldest diseases in the world) and Zika fever (a disease relativelynew in Brazil) (2) three diseases (two bacterial and one viral) in which theexacerbation of the inflammatory response can lead to irreversible lung damagethat can cause rapid death: tuberculosis, pneumonia and the most recent globaldisease, COVID- 19.  New information about mitochondrial biology is presented, such as theeffect of aerobic physical exercise as a stimulator for mitochondriamultiplication, and the role of mitochondrial damage in inducing immune-inflammatoryresponses to pathogens. The contents shed light on mitochondrial biochemicalpathways that could serve as potential therapeutic targets. This is an important reference for scholars (cell biologists,microbiologists) in universities, hospitals and scientific research centersworking on biological and biomedical problems, and for health professionalsinvolved in infection control.

Medical Genetics - Understanding...

Ava Westwood

Medical genetics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the role of genetic variations in human health and disease. It encompasses the study of inherited disorders, genetic predisposition to diseases, and the application of genetics in medical practice. Understanding the fundamentals of medical genetics is crucial for diagnosing, treating, and preventing genetic conditions. 
Genes, composed of DNA, serve as the blueprint for the development and functioning of the human body. DNA is organized into chromosomes, with humans typically having 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Of these, 22 pairs are autosomes, and one pair consists of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males). Each parent contributes one chromosome per pair, ensuring genetic diversity. 
Mutations, or changes in DNA sequences, play a key role in medical genetics. These mutations can be inherited or acquired and may lead to genetic disorders. Some mutations are benign, while others can disrupt normal biological functions, leading to conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington’s disease. Mutations can be classified into different types, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and chromosomal abnormalities.

Nirvana - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

NIRVANA
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Nirvana, formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, was an American rock band that significantly impacted the music scene. The band, led by Kurt Cobain, achieved mainstream success by popularizing alternative rock and ending the dominance of hair metal. Their sound, described as grunge, alternative rock, and punk rock, fused pop melodies with noise. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" propelled their album Nevermind to diamond certification. Despite a short mainstream career, Nirvana sold over 75 million records worldwide and received numerous awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. The band's legacy continues to influence modern rock culture.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Nirvana went through several names before settling on their final one, including Skid Row, Pen Cap Chew, Bliss, and Ted Ed Fred. The band chose the name Nirvana because Kurt Cobain wanted a name that was "kind of beautiful or nice and pretty instead of a mean, raunchy punk name."
Nirvana's first single was a cover of Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz," released on the independent label Sub Pop. Their first interview was with John Robb in Sounds magazine, which made their release its single of the week.
The recording sessions for Nirvana's first album, Bleach, cost $606.17, which was supplied by Jason Everman. Everman didn't actually play on the album, but was given a credit to make him feel more at home in the band.
Although Bleach was a favorite of college radio stations, Kurt Cobain was upset with Sub Pop's lack of promotion and distribution of the album. The band's music was also changing, with songs becoming "poppier" and about emotional conflicts, rather than anger.
