Scientists discover Alzheimer’s hidden “death switch” in the brain

-
Image
A team led by neurobiologist Prof. Dr. Hilmar Bading at Heidelberg University has identified a key molecular process that drives the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Working with researchers from Shandong University (China), the scientists used a mouse model of Alzheimer's to show that a harmful protein interaction causes brain cells to die, leading to cognitive decline. The findings point to new possibilities for developing more effective treatments. The harmful protein interaction involves two components previously studied: the NMDA receptor and the TRPM4 ion channel. NMDA receptors play an essential role in communication between nerve cells and are located on the cell surface, both at synapses and in areas outside these junctions. They are activated by glutamate, a key neurotransmitter. When NMDA receptors function within synapses, they support neuron survival and help maintain cognitive function. However, when TRPM4 interacts with NMDA receptors outside synap...

The ACE test is a biochemical blood test used to measure the level of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) in serum. 🔹 Why is ACE Test done? This test is mainly done to help in the diagnosis and monitoring of Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous disease. It is also useful to check disease activity and response to treatment. 🔹 Sample Required: 🩸 Serum 🔹 Principle : ACE enzyme present in the patient’s serum acts on a synthetic substrate and converts it into a product. The amount of product formed is directly proportional to the ACE level in the blood. 🔹 Normal Values: • Adults: 8 – 52 U/L (Normal range may vary from lab to lab) 🔹 Increased ACE Levels seen in: • Sarcoidosis • Tuberculosis • Leprosy • Liver diseases • Diabetes mellitus 🔹 Decreased ACE Levels seen in: • Patients taking ACE inhibitor drugs • Chronic lung diseases 🔹 Clinical Importance: ACE test is very helpful in monitoring the progression and treatment response of Sarcoidosis. It is not a confirmatory test alone but support...

Sickle Cell Test

1. Objective The objective of the Sickle Cell Test was to detect the presence of Hemoglobin S (HbS), which caused sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. The test aimed to screen or diagnose individuals who inherited the mutated beta-globin gene. 2. Principle The principle of the test was based on the fact that Hemoglobin S polymerized under low oxygen tension, causing red blood cells to become crescent or sickle-shaped. These abnormally shaped cells were detected microscopically (sickling test), through solubility tests, or by electrophoresis to differentiate hemoglobin types. 3. Materials • Anticoagulated blood sample (EDTA) • Sodium metabisulfite (for sickling test) • Microscope and glass slides • Hemoglobin electrophoresis equipment (for confirmatory test) • Solubility test reagent kit (for rapid screening) • Coverslips • Test tubes and pipettes • Gloves and safety equipment 4. Procedure (Microscopic Sickling Test) 1. A drop of the patient’s blood was placed on a clea...

Doctors remove 40 knives from man’s stomach

-
A man in India spent two months swallowing knives and had 40 of them surgically removed from his stomach, according to the doctor who led the operation. “He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening,” Dr. Jatinder Malhotra told  CNN.  “We were so nervous… a small mistake could have taken the patient’s life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it,” he added. Malhotra said it took his team about two days to form a diagnosis and surgery plan and the operation lasted for five hours. He revealed that they found foldable knives, which when fully extended were about seven inches long. “The patient told us that he swallowed some knives folded and some unfolded. When we took out the knives, some were found folded, some were open, and some had even started rusting and were broken,” the doctor said. The patient, a 42-year-old father of two, told  CNN  h...
