Microbiome Can Be Defined As The Sum
Microbiome can be defined as the sum of microbes, their genetic genomes and their environmental interactions in a particular environment. The word Microbiome was inverted by Joshua Lederberg, one of the giants of molecular biology to designate all microbes. He emphasized that microorganisms inhabiting the human body should be included as part of the human genome, reason on the influence……

Using Drugs To Treat Hepatitis C
Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
While it is suspected that the patient HL is suffering from a possible GI/hepatobiliary disorder, more information is required before making a diagnosis of this nature. The patient’s personal history needs to be expanded upon and a physical examination should be conducted to verify any signs and symptoms in order to complete a……

Hashimoto's Disease
Hashimoto's disease, also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, a small gland at the base of the neck below the Adam's apple (Paparodis & Imam, 2020). It is characterized by the immune system mistakenly attacking the thyroid, leading to chronic inflammation and often resulting in hypothyroidism, where the thyroid is unable to produce……

Biology Of ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects many children and often continues into adulthood. The biology of ADHD involves various factors, including genetics, neurotransmitter systems, brain structure and functioning, and environmental influences, all contributing to the disorder's wide range of symptoms.
Genetic factors are believed to play a significant role in ADHD. Twin and……
