The genetic roots of the disease

In order to understand the causes of a particular disease, it is necessary not only to examine the disease, but also the genetic code of the patient. This is the conclusion reached by experts from Houston Baylor College of Medicine.

The genome of the head of the study, James Lupsky, who suffers from Charcot-Maritute disease, a hereditary nerve disease, was deciphered. The aim of the study was to determine which genes are responsible for this disease, which was done. The mutation of the SH3TC2 gene, as it was revealed as a result of experiments, is the cause of this disease.

According to James Lupsky himself, genetic analysis can allow doctors to obtain more complete information about the patient, as well as about the prospects of certain treatment methods. For the patients themselves, information about potential diseases will also be more than useful in order to carry out timely prevention and avoid the disease.


Genetic "traces" of psoriasis

Michigan researchers from the United States of America have announced that through genetic scans they have been able to identify the genes responsible for the appearance of such an autoimmune skin disease as psoriasis.

The study involved the genetic data of about one and a half thousand people suffering from this skin disease, as well as about one and a half thousand healthy people. As a result, it turned out that the TNIP1, TNFAIP3 and IL-23 genes are most responsible for the occurrence of this disease. From the researchers' point of view, it is the effect on these genes that can help in the development of new drugs that will not only help in the fight against the skin disease itself, but can also reduce the likelihood of developing coronary heart disease, which often "accompanies" psoriasis, as well as the potential for heart attack, stroke and other disorders.

Hypo-acid drugs

According to doctors, excessive administration of hypo-acid drugs in hospital settings can lead to the development of hospital-acquired pneumonia.

The study examined more than 60,000 medical records, while almost 3.5% of patients developed hospital–acquired pneumonia, and among those who were prescribed acidic drugs, this percentage was slightly higher – about 5%, while those who did not use these drugs had a lower figure - about 2%..

It should be noted that genital pneumonia is fatal in about 18% of cases, that is, it is a rather serious disease.

The specialists who conducted the study are confident that such work needs to be carried out constantly in order not only to confirm these results, but also to develop better and more effective methods of treating patients.
