Disease Parkinson Disease -is characterized by a slowing of voluntary movements, bradykinesia, muscular rigidity and tremor at rest.

Causes Parkinson's disease can cause neuropsychiatric disturbances which can range from mild to severe. This includes disorders of speech, cognition, mood, behaviour, and thought.

Symptoms Technologies Used To Cure The Disease


Tremor, or shaking, often in a hand, arm, or leg. Tremor caused by Parkinson's disease occurs when the person is awake and sitting or standing still (resting tremor) and subsides when the person moves the affected body part.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain.

Pallidotomy is a procedure where a tiny electrical probe is placed in the globus pallidus (one of the basal ganglia of the brain), which is then heated to 80 degrees celsius for 60 seconds, to destroy a small area of brain cells.

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach, does not produce enough of the hormone insulin. Insulin is necessary to carry sugar from the bloodstream into the cells. Once inside the cells, sugar is converted into energy for immediate use or stored for the future. That energy fuels all our bodily functions and rids the body of waste products. This process is known as metabolism.

Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.

Type 1 Diabetes -Increased thirst -Increased urination -Constant hunger -Weight loss -Blurred vision -Fatigue, or a feeling of being tired Type 2 Diabetes -Frequent yeast infections -Very slow healing of wounds or sores -Nausea Fatigue, or a feeling of being tired -Increased urination -Increased thirst -Weight loss Blurred vision

An insulin syringe is a syringe with a small needle made specifically for selfadministration of insulin in diabetic patients. The syringe is designed to inject the medication into the subcutaneous tissue. This is the desired area for injection of insulin because the fat cells allow medications to be absorbed constantly and slowly, for a longer lasting effect.

Type 1 diabetics have some relatively good reason for hope in the past 5 years. Technologies have advanced to the point that islet cell transplants - the cells that produce insulin - can be made to a diabetic patient's pancreas. Specifically, the cells are called the Islets of Langerhans. Of these, beta cells produce the hormone insulin, which is the key that unlocks cells to allow energy from glucose in to power the human body.

Skin neoplasms (also known as "skin cancer") are skin growths with differing causes and varying degrees of malignancy. The three most common malignant skin cancers are basal cell cancer, squamous cell cancer, and melanoma, each of which is named after the type of skin cell from which it arises. Skin cancer generally develops in the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), so a tumor can usually be seen. This means that it is often possible to detect skin cancers at an early stage.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. There are two types - UVA and UVB. Sunlamps and tanning booths which are artificial forms of UV radiation, can also cause skin cancer.

A small lump (spot or mole) that is shiny, waxy, pale in color, and smooth in texture. A red lump (spot or mole) that is firm A sore or spot that bleeds or become crusty. Also look for sores that don't heal. Rough and scaly patches on the skin. Flat scaly areas of the skin that are red or brown. Any new growth that is suspicious

Radiation therapy (in American English), radiation oncology, or radiotherapy (in the UK, Canada and Australia), sometimes abbreviated to XRT or DXT, is the medical use of ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells. Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancer if they are localized to one area of the body. It may also be used as part of curative therapy, to prevent tumor recurrance after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor (for example, early stages of breast cancer). Radiation therapy is synergistic with chemotheraphy, and has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in susceptable cancers.

Microneedles are very small needles, where in one dimension, such as length or width, the size is less than one millimeter (0.04-inches). Dr. Roger Narayan, professor and leading researcher at North Carlonia State University explained, "The motivation for the study was to see whether we could use microneedles to deliver quantum dots into the skin. We were able to fabricate hollow, plastic microneedles using a laser-based rapid-prototyping approach and found that we could deliver a solution containing quantum dots using these microneedles.
