Dysgraphia, Dyslexia,Dystonia

Dysgraphia, affects a person`s handwriting ability &  fine motor skills.
          A person with this specific learning disability may have problems including
          illegible handwriting,inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning on paper,
          poor spelling, and difficulty composing writing as well as thinking and writing
          at the same time.
Symptoms; 
  1. May have illegible printing and cursive writing (despite appropriate time and attention given the task)
  2. Has unfinished words or letters, omitted words
  3. Inconsistent spacing between words and letters
  4. Exhibits strange wrist, body or paper position
  5. Has difficulty pre-visualizing letter formation
  6. Copying or writing is slow or labored
Dyslexia,"Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge."
Dystonia,Dystonia is a neurological disorder that causes excessive, involuntary muscle contractions. These muscle contractions result in abnormal muscle movements and body postures, making it difficult for individuals to control their movements. The movements and postures may be painful. Dystonic movements are typically patterned and repetitive.In addition to causing abnormal movements, depression and anxiety are common non-motor symptoms of dystonia.
Symptoms; 
  • A body part is flexed or twisted into an abnormal position.
  • Repetitive and patterned body movements, which may resemble tremor.
  • Dystonic symptoms may worsen or occur only with specific tasks. For example, hand dystonia may be present only when writing or playing a musical instrument.
  • Attempting a movement task on one side of the body my activate dystonia symptoms on the opposite side.
  • Dystonic movements and postures may be temporarily relieved by a gentle touch or specific action called a sensory trick.

Digestive Enzymes                       Enzymes are biological catalyst which is responsible for degradation of complex                       molecule(food) into simple(food) & absorbable form.                        Enzyme enhance the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy of substrate.                         Few important digestive enzyme are- Trypsin - trypsin is secreted from pancreas (mix gland) as a trypsinogen.                 It cleaves the peptides at carboxyl side (c-side) of lysine (k) & arginine(R),which is basic amino acids .Exception,if lysine or arginine is followed by proline trypsin does not act on that peptide because 3D cleft or active site of trypsin ...

Dreams don't work unless you do  The scientific study of dreams is known as   oneirology . People are more likely to remember their dreams if they wake up during the REM phase( Rapid Eye Movement ). About 80% of neonatal and newborn  sleep  time is REM sleep, suggesting a tremendous amount of time dreaming. According to Plato, dreams originate in the organs of the belly. Plato describes the liver in particular as the biological seat of dreams. The average person has about 1,460 dreams a year. That’s about four per night.   Modern research has shown that a sharp decrease in daily calories results in fewer nocturnal ejaculations in  men  and an overall decrease in the sexual themes of dreams. During REM  sleep , the flow of blood to the brain increases, as does the brain’s temperature. Additionally, both the penis and the clitoris become erect .   Most of us dream every 90 minutes, and the longest dreams (30-45 minutes) occur in the morning. V...

How corn silk inhibit the melanin(pigment) production  In maize  ,the female flower produce Corn silk,which is generally regarded as waste a discarded. Corn silk contain protein ,phenolic compound particularly flavonoids,vitamins,carbohydrates calcium,potassium,sodium salt ,volatile oils &,steroids such as sitosterol and stigmasterol. Researcher in Korea have reported that silk decreased melanin production by about 37%. Melanin is an natural pigment that responsable for skin color. It is produced by a cell called  melanocyte. Melanin production is inhibited by corn silk how?               Biosynthesis of melanin starts with oxidation of tyrosine by tyrosinase . T he corn silk extract did not suppress tyrosinase activity but greatly reduced the expression of tyrosinase in Melan-A cells. In addition, corn silk extract was applied to the human face with hyperpigmentation, and skin color was measured to examine the de...
