NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

The nervous system controls all the major functions of the body including brain, nerves, and spinal cord. If these organs have a glitch, the human body will start to malfunction and show different symptoms. Unhealthy nervous system can paralyze you completely; it may even make it difficult to breathe. The various problems linked to memory, mood, and senses are also related to nervous system diseases.

More than 600 neurological diseases exist and if diagnosed early, are curable.

Huntington’s disease and muscular dystrophy are the most common neurological disorders. These diseases are usually genetic. Brain tumor, epilepsy, stroke etc., are other examples of neurological disorders. Damaged nerve cells are a cause of degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Infections and neurological disorders is the sixth cause of consultation in health care services worldwide, but, still with the advancements in producing effective vaccines and antibiotics remain a concern around the globe.

Gluten Sensitivity-Diagnosis, Symptoms & Treatment

Gluten is basically composed of specific proteins which are present in various food products such as barley, rye and wheat. Gluten sensitivity is also known as gluten intolerance. It is an array of disorders like wheat allergy and celiac disease in which gluten has an undesirable impact upon the human body.

The various symptoms of this disorder include abdominal pain, headache, vertigos, diarrhea, muscular disturbances and numerous joint pains. The gluten sensitivity can lead to neurological problems like Ataxia.

Celiac disease is an perpetual disorder and its after effects may vary from time to time during the person`s life span. If left untreated, it will increase the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancer.

There are various methods for the diagnosis of celiac disease. It can be diagnosed by performing blood tests as well as through small intestinal biopsy. The biopsy procedure is considered as one of the most accurate testing technique for celiac disease.

The standard treatment is an absolute avoidance of gluten for good. The affected patients should avoid all gluten containing foods and should keep a strict observation on diet in order to allow the intestine to heal.

The Importance of Peer-reviewing Process in STM Publishing

Peer review is a process essential for scholarly research publications. Research work is evaluated by a group of people of equivalent competence to the producer of the work. In this particular approach, the quality of published hypothetical literature is retained within the scientific forum.

The degree of excellence of a medical and scientific research publication is significantly a much bigger concern and demands an accurate peer-review process. Generally, there are several renowned publishers in the scientific publication industry, for instance Wiley, Elsevier, Taylor Francis and Bentham Science Publishers.

Bentham Science Publishers employ the single-blind peer-review technique that would not only ensure an unbiased analysis of the scientific merit of the research work, but it would also guarantee optimum quality measures and outstanding contribution to the research. They have qulaified, expert editorial staff and reviewers who adhere to stringent peer-reviewing. Generally, a write-up is examined for the quality of a research, plagiarism prevention, approval of experimental investigation, re-publication and ethical review. This procedure is specialized and rapid, as shared by an author of Bentham Science journal, Recent Patents on Inflammation & Allergy Drug Discovery:

“I would like to thank Bentham Science for considering my paper for publication. With regards to my publication related matters, I found it quite easy in dealing with the editorial office and also the publication process. The quality of service provided by the editorial office was excellent. The article review process was fast and the final decision was taken without delays. I really appreciate the excellent quality of the service provided with regards to my publication. I would definitely consider Bentham Science Publishers for my future publications as well.”

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus, or commonly known as Diabetes, is a chronic medical condition in which the patient suffers from a higher than normal sugar level in the blood stream. This could be because either the person’s pancreas is not able to generate sufficient insulin or because the cells are not responding to the insulin that is generated.

Some of the key symptoms of diabetes comprise increased blood glucose levels, weight loss, blurred vision, dehydration, nausea, fatigue and loss of glucose in urine.

In a normal person, the blood glucose levels are strongly controlled by insulin. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. When the blood glucose level rises, insulin is released from the pancreas in order to balance the glucose level. The absence or inadequate production of insulin causes hyperglycaemia inside diabetic patients.

Diabetes can be identified by taking fasting blood glucose (sugar) test. The test is convenient and easy to perform. After the overnight fasting of the patient, a single blood sample is taken and sent to the laboratory for diagnosis. Alternatively, it can also be accurately measured inside a doctor’s clinic with the help of a glucose meter.
