In the present scenario, it has been indicated that the child’s skin changes color (to a bluish color) every time she cries … child’s skin changes color (to a bluish color) every time she cries or exerts. On the basis of the presenting symptoms, cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) is suspected. To a large extent, persons with CCHD have low oxygen levels in their blood. According to Zabala and Guzzetta (2015), … study. However, there may be other symptoms depending on the specific CCHD-causing defect.
To confirm the diagnosis above and establish whether there are heart defects, it would be prudent to look out for abnormal heart sounds as well as rapid heart. Other specific diagnostic tests in this case could be inclusive of an echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization. While the latter would come in handy … this case could be inclusive……

Stem Cell Transplants Treat Alzheimers And Parkinsons Disease
Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia, while Parkinson’s disease is known as a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects significantly more men than women. The two disorders have some similar symptoms but are also very different. With regards to treatment, … disorder. The only existing drugs are those that address some of the symptoms. Likewise, there is no standard therapy for those with Parkinson’s disease. But lifestyle changes, approved drugs, and surgical operations can be recommended to address symptoms. Nevertheless, stem cell research has shown a lot of … in helping to restore and regenerate destroyed brain tissues and is, therefore, currently being tested to help treat brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. This work looks at what the evidence is saying about the efficacy of stem cell transplants approach in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and … work looks at what the evidence……
