What is chronic inflammatory demyeliating polyneuropathy and what are its life-threatening consequences

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), a debilitating neurological disease that can cause inflammation throughout the body. Rituximab is being used more often for patients that have moderate to severe symptoms associated with CIDP. This is because it has been shown to alleviate the pain associated with CIDP in half of the patients that have been treated with it. The other half of patients saw a marked improvement when it was added into their treatment.

Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, better known as IDP is a chronic, progressive ailment that can have life-threatening consequences. Its name was derived from the inflammation of the peripheral nerves, where the affliction occurs. The symptoms are extremely painful and include loss of feeling in the extremities, weakness, numbness, and even paralysis of the lower limbs. This disease is not curable and the only recourse is to wait and see if the disease does not affect the patient in other ways.

Inflammatory Demyeliating Polyneuropathy is a disease affecting the peripheral nerves with pain, numbness, weakness, and eventually, atrophy, that occurring anytime in life. Nerve roots become fragile and brittle, which leads to peripheral neuropathy. The diagnosis of this disorder can be based on medical history and sometimes on laboratory tests such as a urinalysis, blood count, or blood chemistry profile.

Napsus (Psoriasis) Inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis is caused by damage to the myelin in the central nervous system. Symptoms usually appear after birth or when the infant is at least two years of age. Signs and symptoms of napus include weakness, lack of appetite, weight loss, lack of energy, depression, irritability, difficulty concentrating and decreased memory, constipation, and frequent urination.
Signs of meningitis include a yellowish mucus discharge, fever, loss of consciousness, seizures and increased risk of developing encephalopathy, a serious brain disease that affects the central nervous system.

Pregnancy Testing Devices are proving to be revolutionary tool with hassle-free testing and rapid results

Image
Pregnancy Testing Devices are medical devices that aid in identifying the potential of pregnancy. It is mostly used by pregnant women for determining the exact time they missed their periods. Pregnancy Testing Devices come in different types like basal body membrane technique (BBMT), digital analysis, embryo transfer method (ETM), ultrasonic Doppler microform method (UDM), and hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Pregnancy Testing Devices is also calling pregnancy test kits.  They can also be termed as basal body membrane technique test kits. Pregnancy test kits are available in various online stores at affordable prices. The most common one is kits for basal body membrane technique (BBMT) and digital analysis. BBMT uses a wet mount for conducting the test whereas digital analysis requires no dry mounts. Some of the other methods of analyzing pregnancy tests include determining the LH level, HCG level, sugar level, cervical mucus, and viral detection. A pregnancy test can also be used for d...

New Study Highlights Development of Algae That Rapidly Produces Natural Astaxanthin

Image
Astaxanthin, a colorless pigment found in the human body, is produced by the oxidation of a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. It occurs in nature in varying concentrations, and is widely utilized in food and cosmetic products for its rich optical, chemical, and pharmaceutical properties. It is widely recognized as a dietary supplement due to its therapeutic effect in a vast range of diseases and conditions ranging from cataracts to diabetes and heart disease. However, it has not been examined thoroughly in humans suffering from diabetes because of the difficulty in obtaining animal protein and the fact that humans cannot absorb pigments derived from animal source. The primary source of astaxanthin in foods or supplements is marine phytoplankton, which is fed to the animals as a marine nutrition supplement. Recently, in October 2019, scientists from Japan have discovered that single-stage astaxanthin production enhances the non-mevalonate pathway and photosynthetic central metabolism in...

Growing need for real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities is escalating demand for automotive telematics

Image
  Automotive telematics is the application of car tracking technology to monitor routes and assess the use of a fleet of vehicles. It includes the monitoring and diagnostics of the vehicle's diagnostics system, fuel systems, and emissions. The automotive telematics system provides real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities of a vehicle. Vehicle information systems are designed to meet the demands of customer requirements, ranging from personal vehicle tracking and diagnostics to fleet management. Telematics applications are usually deployed on the fleet management software. This application is specifically designed to manage all vehicle-related activities including fuel efficiency, emission monitoring, repair and maintenance history, tracking mileage and delivery status, and remote recovery of vehicle assets. The benefits of this application include a reduction in operation costs, increased productivity, reduction in theft and damage, and faster recovery of vehic...
