The objective of gene therapy is to introduce functional genes in to the body to alter the function of the cells involved in the disease process. Although spectacular results have been obtained to contain immunodeficiency in human body, there are some limitations also. Sometimes alteration of genes present with in cells can cause inherited diseases like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia and hemophilia etc.
What else can I help you with?
What are congenital immunodeficiency disorders?
Congenital immunodeficiency is present at the time of birth, and is the result of genetic defects. These immunodeficiency disorders are also called primary immunodeficiencies.
What are the risks of Radiation therapy when treating acoustic neuromas?
can cause hearing loss which can sometimes occurs even years later. Radiation therapy can also cause damage to neighboring cranial nerves, which can result in symptoms such as numbness, pain or paralysis of the facial muscles
Immunodeficiency with predominant t-cell defect?
Immunodeficiency with a predominant T-cell defect can result in increased susceptibility to viral, fungal, and intracellular bacterial infections. These defects can impair cell-mediated immunity, leading to difficulty in recognizing and attacking infected cells. Management may involve immune globulin therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in severe cases.
What is the prognosis?
a prognosis is the result after treating the disease
What does Anti HIV negative mean is this good or bad?
"Anti-HIV negative" means that a person has tested negative for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), indicating that they are not currently infected with the virus. This is generally considered a positive result, as it means the individual does not have HIV and is not at risk of developing AIDS from an HIV infection. However, it is important to continue practicing safe behaviors to prevent future infections.
What is the basic assumption of cognitive therapy?
The basic assumption of cognitive therapy is that how we think about a situation influences how we feel and behave. This therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns to improve emotional well-being and behavior.
Why is AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome considered a syndrome and not a disease?
AIDS is syndrome because it is diagnosed based on several clinical factors as a result of advanced HIV infection. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the reason a person develops AIDS.
When multiplying two numbers with different signs the result will be?
Multiplying a positive and negative number will give a negative result. The result is a negative number.
What disease could result if many T-cells are destroyed?
If many T-cells are destroyed, it could result in an impaired immune system leading to increased vulnerability to infections and diseases. This could potentially result in conditions like acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which specifically targets and destroys T-cells.
What is an adverse event?
An adverse reaction would be an unwanted, negative or unfavorable result of an action. Most often used to describe unwanted or negative side-effects of or allergies to medications.
Negative 1000 divided by 100 equals what?
10
What is the desired result of gene therapy?
When the replaced genes functions properly and corrects the defect in that region a gene therapy is successful and the desired result is achieved.
