GENE THERAPY FOR PARKINSON


Hi! How’s it going? Are you enjoying this holiday season? I want the best for you, the best of luck! Ok, changing the subject, today I’m going to talk about the Gene Therapy for Parkinson, but first of all I will give you the definition of Parkinson because I believe is very important you know which is the meaning of this word, although I think you have a general idea about it, ok. Parkinson is a disease what is caused mainly by the loss of neurons in a midbrain part which is called the substantia Nigra, and the substantia nigra is a part of the brain that produce dopamine which is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain that regulate movement, emotion, motivation, and the feeling of pleasure, the symptoms importants are slowness of movement, trembling in the hands, arms, legs and jaw, in the same way stiffness of the limbs. I think this disease is a consequence of a lifetime of stress and anxiety, likewise I believe we should have a more relaxed and healthier life.

On the other hand researches have done a great amount of studies and they have stated that Gene Therapy may be a very effective treat for patients with this disease. Gene Therapy consisting of improving motor function and correct the chemical imbalance.

Finally I believe this could be an important topic to be learned in depth for the future.

FORGETTING TO REMEMBER


Hi! How are you? Today I’m going to write about a Topic which I believe will be of interest for you, also I think you can get a surprise, since I was surprised when I read this article, because I used to think that forget important details of our life or forget someone’s name among other things was bad for our health but thanks to this information I changed my way of thinking since according to a study at Stanford University if you can’t remember something or in other words if you are a forgetful person such as when you leave your wallet wherever or where you keep you cell phone and can’t find them, you shouldn’t worry, because forgetting things is not harmful for our brain as most people think. On the contrary it not only helps the brain conserve energy, but also improves our short-term memory and improve efficiency, also a psychologist state that when we want to remember things that are importants, we put much less effort if we have forgotten the things that are not importants.

Finally, I believe this topic is really interesting and should be studied with depth for the future.

Forgetting may be part of the process of remembering.

FINDIND THE CONNECTION


Hi! Today I’m going to write about “the synesthesia”. Do you know what is synesthesia? Ok, as I understand it The synesthesia is when people associate something or a situation with another. For instance: Beth might see the red color as a algebraic symbol, but not everybody have this kind of capacities; people who have these knowledges are able to help scientists in their researchers about cognitives process, also I think synesthetes are more creatives on the contrary people who don’t have this capacity, in the same way I believe to be a synesthete person is a great advantage since many famous people have been labeled as synesthetes on the basis of at least two historical sources.
On the other hand and as my point of view I believe is important to indicate the term mirror-touch synesthesia, it is when synesthetes suffer the pain or happiness of another person: for example, when one person feels depressed then one synesthete will feel exactly same, I think this situation is very similar to sensations which experience the twins.
Finally, I believe this article is very interesting, therefore I would suggest to my classmates what they read about this kind of information.

THE BEST BRAIN FOODS.


Hello! How are you? I’m fine, but I don’t know about what I can write, Ok I know today I’m going to write about a very interesting topic which I found in a magazine while I was reading, since I like to learn new things, also I think this topic will be of real interest for you.

This article talk us about what we should eat to maintain our brain active at all times, since if we don’t have a balanced diet it can influence memory, learning concentration and decision making, in this article I can see a table which show us the function of some foods as well as their nutrients, for example the fish, walnuts, spinach, soybean oil are essentials to build cell membranes, also including Omega – 3 fatty acids, also the fish, chicken, broccoli, rice, turkey, wheat germ, whole – grain bread, are fundamentals for learning and memory formation, likewise milk products, fish, almonds, peanuts, cheese including tyrosine and are importants for alertness and concentration.

On the other hand is important you know that a diet of fast food can cause fatigue, forgetfulness and concentration problems, but one of the most important things which I realized is that you should include fish in your diet, since according to a study children of mothers who had ingested more fish during pregnacy had higher IQ than others children. Ok that’s all bye.

YOUNG COUPLES IN MY COUNTRY WANT TO GET MARRIED


I think should exist a law in our country, which state that the age to get married is starting from 22 years old and if you are too young, then you must have the permission of your parents, since I believe to become married is very important to be a responsible person, and you need to have maturity enough to know how you should act and control your impulses when you have a problem with your couple, would also be very neccesary to have a good job, because it will help to become stable into family. since if you want to have children is very, very important you remember that children implicate quite a lot responsability, what is more they need attention, therefore you should give them a good education, since one reason to get married is to give a good example to sons and daughters and one of the most imporrtant things in a family is love for each other.

On the other hand I think you should know the other person well enough because he/she could change over the years.

In conclusion, first of all to enjoy your life, after that you can choose very well the person who will be your couple for the rest of your life, to get madurity and make the better decisions, finally you can get married and have a good family, because it is the best thing we can do in this life.

CHANGING MAIDEN NAMES


Hi!, at the moment I feel happy because in a week’s time my classmates and I will go away on holiday and really will be fifteen days which we can enjoy with our family, Ok, but changing the subject I’m going to talk about a topic very interesting which talk us about women who would like to keep her maiden names after to get married, in this text, we can see four letters addressed to Ann Lander from different parts of the world such as San Diego, Kansas city and West Hartford, the first letter was written by Mrs. BT- DT, she says that there are few things in life as personal as one’s name and I think she has reason, therefore just because he’s the husband doesn’t give him right to decide which name his wife should use, in other words he should let his future wife to take this kind of decisions and avoid to put pressure her, since I think if a woman take her maiden name it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love him, also the next letter explain us people never know if matrimony will persist for all life, ok this is my opinion about this topic, see you later, bye.
