The noncollagenous domain 1 alpha 3 chain of type…

Definition Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is an extension of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Although the two conditions can be quite similar in how they affect a patient, PMDD is generally much more severe. In some cases, it reaches a point that it interferes with daily life.

Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects around 1 in around 12,000-20,000 live births and affects both males and females equally. Angelman syndrome is very often misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy. Angelman syndrome is not an inherited disease, and is instead caused by a change in the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase gene (UBE3A) on the maternal chromosome 15. This change prevents the chromosome from functioning properly. It occurs as a random event during the formation of eggs…

Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic Kidney disease(CKD) is also known as Chronic Kidney Failure and is the gradual loss of kidney function. The kidneys are responsible for filtering wastes and excess fluids from the blood, which is than excreted through urine. When CKD reaches an advanced stage, the levels of fluids become very dangerous and it causes electrolytes and wastes to build up in the body.(Mayo Clinic, 2016) Pathophysiological Process CKD occurs when a disease or condition impairs kidney…

Ehlers- Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder. There are six different types of EDS, all with varying degrees of signs and symptoms.
