Dyslexia- A Neurological Disorder

Dyslexia is a disorder which is characterized by difficulty in reading and learning. This is a most common learning disorder found in children that hinders the ability of a person to read, learn, spell, write and even sometimes in speaking. This is disease which attacks the kids and is persist throughout the life. To reach the favorable outcomes, treatment must be taken o time because it can get severe. The severity of Dyslexia differs from mild to severe.

Dyslexia in children is caused by the mutilation in the brain’s capability to interpret the images delivered from the eyes and ears into comprehensible language. It is not because of the hearing and vision problems, but it is due to the brain damage, psychological retardation or lack of intellect.

Dyslexia may go undiagnosed in the early years of schooling because the symptoms are vague to determine if it is Dyslexia or a kid is not willing to go to school and is showing signs like these. The common symptoms includes, the reversal of number and letter, difficulty in copying work from the board, difficulty in playing organized games and sports, difficulty of distinguishing left and right. Whereas, the aural problems linked to dyslexia includes, difficulty of remembering what he is hearing, recalling problems, words get funny because they miss parts of words and kipping whole sentences.

What are Immunodeficiency Disorders?

To get a better understanding about immune disorders, you need to know the basics of how exactly immune system works. The immune system consists of various organs including, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and spleen. These organs release lymphocytes that are classified as T cells and B cells.  These cells fight against the antigens such as viruses, bacteria, cancer cells and other harmful body fluids. Both B cells and T cells play their part in fighting off the bacteria out of the body through killing the virus and by producing antibodies.

Immunodeficiency is a disorder that affects the body immune system thus prevents the ability of the body to fight diseases and infections. This disorder makes a person more vulnerable of catching bacterial infections and viruses. Immune disorders are generally acquired or innate. Usually, the acquired immune disorder is characterized as secondary disorder whereas; the congenital immune disorder is called primary.

There are various factors that can make an immune system weak, for instance; the body fluids such as sperm of blood from the body of an individual affected with HIV can cause AIDS. The removal of spleen from your body can lead to a weaker immune system.

The treatment varies according to the condition of individuals. It commonly includes the antibody and antibiotics replacement. There are several drugs that are used to treat the infections caused by this disorder; the drugs must be taken according to the prescription.

Dangers of Carbon Monoxide:

This winter season is seen to be the coldest winter the world has observed after a long period of time. Temperatures in the next few years are also expected to drop more. The people using heaters need to very vigilant because the heaters give off a gas which is commonly known as the silent killer.

Carbon monoxide is present inside offices and houses because of the usage of heaters. It is a colorless and odorless gas with a chemical formula of CO. One might not be aware of its presence and the dangers it causes. The major symptoms of excess intake of CO include nausea and headache which is often misconcepted as a symptom of flu or viral fever.

Continuous exposure of CO can also result into various acute symptoms such as chest pain, vomiting, confusion and serious medical conditions.

Breathing Problems: COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

COPD is one of the major causes of disability in the United States, and the third largest cause of death as well. There are millions of people who are suffering from this disease. Although, there is a huge percentage of individuals who may have the disease and may not even know about it.

COPD is usually diagnosed in older or middle-aged adults. This disease is not contagious.

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) causes difficulty in breathing. COPD has two main types of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.  The cause of COPD is damage to the lungs by air pollution, chemical fumes or dust; however, cigarette smoking is the main reason for COPD. 

Breathing is a process which causes air flow from airways and elastic air sacs. Breathing in causes air sacs to inflate like a small balloon, while breathing out causes them to deflate pushing the air out. In COPD, less air flows in and out of these airways because of inelasticity, wall of air sacs are destroyed, the walls become thick and inflamed, and airways become clogged because of mucus. Due to these reasons it becomes problematic for the patients to breathe.

This disease develops slowly; symptoms often worsen gradually limiting your capacity to perform routine activities. Chronic COPD may even prevent one from doing basic activities like walking, sleeping, or eating. Common symptoms include coughing with mucus, shortness of breath while doing physical activity, wheezing and chest tightness.

Diagnosis of COPD involves lung functions test, imaging test, blood test. COPD has no cure yet; doctors have failed to repair the damage caused to the airways and lungs. Although, certain treatments have shown positive results including medicines, oxygen therapy, surgery or lungs transplant. This disease can be avoided by following a healthy lifestyle and quitting smoking.

Bentham Science aims to publish eBooks in all major areas of technology, social sciences, medicine and humanities. Their eBooks provide professionals, corporate researchers, academicians, graduates and under-graduates globally with the most contemporary information in their subject areas of interest. Bentham Science continues to publish books in every field. A few new eBooks are going to appear under the Bentham Science name, 'Lung Macrophages in Health and Disease'by Sandra Hodge.

The eBook discusses lung’s reaction to injury, the alveolar macrophage, maintenance of lung structure, cancer biology and many more. Along with essentials to understand the development of novel therapeutic approaches for acute and chronic disease.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV)

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus or MERS-CoV is a flu epidemic in the Middle East. This virus is highly contagious and deadly. It is basically an acute respiratory infection presenting as pneumonia.

MERS causes high fever, coughing, and pneumonia in humans. It affects animals as well, which is why it is recommended to avoid having close contact with farm animals and barn areas, where the virus has potentially been circulating.

In the last week of December, a case of an elderly man from Riyadh has been reported to have died from a confirmed MERS case. WHO announced five more people have been diagnosed with this lethal Middle East Respiratory Syndrome virus, bringing to a total of 176 cases, of which 75 have already died.

MERS is spreading gradually; most of the reported cases are in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, UAE, France, Oman, Tunisia, Germany, Spain Italy and Britain.

Furthermore, WHO directed general public to adhere to precautionary measures while visiting a barn or farm. Strict hygiene measures should be taken such as washing hands before and after touching the animals, and before eating food. Moreover, contact with sick animals should be avoided at all times.
