One of the most affected cognitive impairments in children who experienced heavy burdens of diarrhea is semantic fluency, the same impairment that is most affected in Alzheimer's dementia. These findings are leading us into provocative genetic studies that may elucidate the evolution of such genetic
BACKGROUND
Dragon's blood has been used as a famous traditional medicine since ancient times by many cultures. It is a deep red resin, obtained from more than 20 different species of four distinct genera. Red resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis S.C. Chen, known as Chinese dragon's blood or Yunnan
Berberine (BBR) is an organic small molecule isolated from various plants that have been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Isolation of this compound was its induction into modern medicine, and its usefulness became quickly apparent as seen in its ability to combat bacterial diarrhea, type 2
BACKGROUND
Dystonia musculorum (Dst
dt ) is a murine disease caused by recessive mutations in the dystonin (Dst) gene. Loss of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, ataxia, and dystonic postures before death by postnatal day 18 (P18) is a hallmark feature.
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, is diagnosed by impaired learning and memory in elderly individuals. Tectochrysin (TEC) is a flavonoid compound isolated from Alpinia Oxyphylla Miq., which has been traditionally used for the treatment of diarrhea, salivation, diuresis and
Asparagus racemosus Willd., an important medicinal plant of tropical and subtropical India, is a potent phytoestrogen which is used extensively in the treatment of menopausal symptoms, diarrhea, dyspepsia, and neurodegenerative disorders. The multiple uses of this species have increased its
OBJECTIVE
In several degenerative neurologic diseases degeneration of Onuf's nucleus has been demonstrated using histologic and electromyographic (EMG) methods. Although Huntington's disease (HD) patients also frequently complain of bladder and bowel symptoms, degeneration of Onuf's nucleus has not
Sanfilippo A syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA, is caused by a deficiency of heparan sulphamidase activity, and usually presents in childhood with neurodegeneration leading to death in teenage years. Visceral symptoms are limited to coarsening and diarrhea. We now describe an adult patient
Salvia tiliifolia is used in folk medicine as a relaxant agent and for the treatment of diarrhea and neurodegenerative diseases. Tilifodiolide (TFD) is a diterpene obtained from this plant. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the antidiarrheal, vasorelaxant, and neuropharmacological actions of
Complex interactions between long-standing lifestyles and genetic factors are strongly involved in the pathologenesis of adult diseases or chronic degenerative diseases. We usually use a questionnaire to obtain life-style information from subjects in a health survey. However, the response to
Probiotics are live microbial organisms that are administrated as supplements or in foods to benefit the host. It is the recommendation that they may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of acute diarrhea in adults and children, the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in adults and
Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are a group of neurodegenerative diseases with progressive dementia and movement disorders. There are three variants of prion diseases pathogenesis: direct contamination, genetic and sporadic forms. The following clinical forms are known:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with the fatal evolution. Recent studies in knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying ALS showed that the excitotoxicity has an important role in the neurodegeneration. The riluzole, an antagonist of glutamate, is
GM2 gangliosidosis (GM2g) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by deficiency of lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase A, resulting in accumulation of GM2 ganglioside, principally in the brain. Substrate reduction therapy is currently under investigation as a treatment. The study investigated
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive aminoacidopathy secondary to an enzyme defect in the catabolic pathway of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine). Accumulation of their corresponding keto-acids leads to encephalopathy if not treated in time.
