Testing for Hereditary Hemochromatosis
:- Krishna Pudasaini |
Hereditary
hemochromatosis (HH) is regarded
as the most common genetic disorder
in Caucasians, with an estimated
prevalence of 1/200-1/400 (homozygotes)
and a carrier frequency (heterozygotes)
of 1/8-1/10. It is an excellent
example of a common genetic disorder
with high morbidity and mortality
which is preventable if diagnosed
early. A DNA test for hemochromatosis
has recently become available and
will be a valuable aid for early
detection of this disorder.
Hemochromatosis
is characterized by increased iron
absorption in the intestine, resulting
in a gradual build-up of excess
iron (iron overload). Most homozygotes
develop symptoms in adulthood, although
the age of onset has been as young
as 2 years. Heterozygotes are usually
asymptomatic.
Early symptoms in
homozygotes are multi systemic and
often non-specific, including malaise,
fatigue, impotence, abdominal pain,
or joint pain. As iron storage increases,
deposits occur in organs such as
the liver, heart, and pancreas,
leading to organ damage and dysfunction.
Late sequelae include
diabetes, arthritis, congestive
heart failure, cirrhosis, and hypogonadism.
Bronze discoloration of the skin
occurs in some patients. There is
high morbidity and mortality associated
with untreated hemochromatosis.
However, if diagnosed early and
treated by phlebotomy, progression
of iron storage is arrested. [More here]

another place :- Bijay Gautam.
Have you experienced
the difficulties that people face
when they move to a different country
or culture?
I had to struggle a lot when I came
to America, due to the cultural
divergence between my mother county
and America. I had to adjust to
certain systems such as
a new school, new type of sports
when I never heard of before, and
types of holidays I never experienced
in my country.
I had never seen so many students
at the same time before. When I
enter the school building. I saw
different types of people in the
hallway. I categorized them into
different groups such as nerds,
freaks, and famous. Nerds were friendly
to me, as they always are. Freaks
and famous were up to their own
usual things such as trying to look
cool and try not to do anything
that will embarrass them. Of course,
there
were few misfits who don't fall
to any of the categories. Being
new in the school, I was feeling
different from others as if I am
from Mars. I finally managed to
find my class. The class was different
from my previous experience. It
was big and crowded. Since it was
the first day, we were supposed
to introduce ourselves. It was my
turn and I was feeling awkward because
I had different name and accent
from others. Everybody was amazed
after hearing my name, but no one
ridicule me. The first day of my
school was a memorable experience.[More].

Let's
live in peace & harmony
There is
a big ocean that divides
us
But that is only the physical
boundaries
Emotionally we are always
close
Coz both of we breathe the
same air
That spreads everywhere,
We feel the same ocean currents
and tides
Different is only that
Here when I sleep you wake
up there
But we get the warmth from
the same sun
We get the love and affection
from the same earth.
We have same faith and belief
that there is only one god
Though there are different
names of religion
Whatever path you choose
to go
You get the same eternal
God.
Who never discriminate us
by caste and creed.
Who never discriminate us
by any means.
East or the west, we all
are same and best.
Let's develop human faith
& treat equally
Let's stop fighting for
any reason
Let's live in peace &
harmony forever

Tuition
fee at german universities,
Union vs SPD/G'90
Students who
are planning to persue their
Study in germany should
keep in mind that the german
supreme court hast already
cancelled the "Ban
on tuition fee at universities"
. Most of the Länder(states)
with CDU/CSU government
want to introduce tuition
fee as soon as possible,
So far I know it seems to
start depending on Länder
by not earlier than summer
semester of 2007(like in
Baden- Würtemberg).
You have to reckon a fee
in amount of 500€ per
semester for duration after
2007/summer semester. But
in the states with SPD government
it will remain free of charge[More here]

Solving
a dispute
Two little squirrels
were walking along in the forest.
The first one spied a nut and cried
out, "Oh, look! A nut!"
The second squirrel jumped on it
and said, "It's my nut!"
The first squirrel
said, "That's not fair! I saw
it first!"
"Well, you
may have seen it, but I have it,"
argued the second.
At that point, a
lawyer squirrel came up and said,
"You shouldn't quarrel.
Let me resolve this
dispute." The two squirrels
nodded, and the lawyer squirrel
said, "Now, give me the nut."
He broke the nut in half, and handed
half to each squirrel, saying, "See?
It was foolish of you to fight.
Now the dispute is resolved."
Then he reached
over and said, "And for my
fee, I'll take the meat."
I have bad
and very bad news
Doctor: I have
some bad news and some very bad
news.
Patient: Well, might
as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab
called with your test results. They
said you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: 24 hours!
That's terrible! What could be worse?
What's the very bad news?
Doctor: I've been
trying to reach you since yesterday.
Learn it
by listening
Two cowboys come
upon an Indian lying on his stomach
with his ear to the ground. One
of the cowboys stops and says to
the other, "You see that Indian?"
"Yeah,"
says the other cowboy.
"Look,"
says the first one, "he's listening
to the ground. He can hear things
for miles in any direction."
Just then the Indian
looks up. "Covered wagon,"
he says, "about two miles away.
Have two horses, one brown, one
white. Man, woman, child, household
effects in wagon."
"Incredible!"
says the cowboy to his friend. "This
Indian knows how far away they are,
how many horses, what color they
are, who is in the wagon, and what
is in the wagon. Amazing!"
The Indian looks
up and says, "Ran over me about
a half hour ago."
