common type of headaches in the pediatric population. Diagnostic criteria can be complex in pediatrics. Patients often experience headaches that are bilateral and located in the frontal temporal region. It is associated with pulsating pain, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia and aggravated with activity. (Pathostatement) The pathophysiology is often elusive. The cause is often neurovascular and take place in the brain. A type of neuron event can cause an imbalance in the trigeminal system causing inflammation

cardiac muscle, gland cells, in peripheral ganglia and in the central nervous system (CNS). In general they cause little blockade at nicotinic receptor sites (Brown and Taylor, 2001). Datura intoxication produce hyperthermia, tachycardia, painful photophobia and the presence of pronounced amnesia have been reported (Freye and Enno, 2009). The onset of symptoms generally occurs around 30 to 60 minutes after ingesting the herb. These symptoms generally last from 24 to 48 hours, but have been reported

Generally there are two common types of mutation in gene that can be classified as gene mutation and chromosomal mutation. Genetic mutation involves the changes in the composition of the DNA molecules or gene itself resulting in the alteration in their chemical structure and composition. The modification in the chemical structure will then lead to the change in the function of the genes. When there is a gene mutation in our body cells, all these altered genes will then be passed down to the children

Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a genetic disorder that causes hypersensitivity to the skin by exposing to UVB radiation. Skin, eyes, and nerves are the sites where the symptoms appear. In XP, DNA goes under mutation in the genes that repair that DNA. XP can be treated in various ways such as minimizing the exposure to the sun and chemical materials, protection using certain materials and surgical removal of tumors, and genetic counseling for patients and families.

INTRODUCTION Anatomy and Physiology of Angiocentic Glioma The most complex part of the body is the brain. It controls muscles movement, behavior, senses and all other functions of the body. The gray matter or cerebral cortex in the brain is the place where all the information is processed. Meanwhile, the cerebral lobe is the main source of intellectual activities. The nerve fibers in the two hemisphere of the cerebral lobe cross over and causing the right side of the cerebrum to control left side

functionally blind by age 301,2,3. Central chorioretinitis was diagnosed in 1878 (severe myopia? toxoplasmosis?). Severe headaches set in from school years on1,2,3,4. They were asymmetric (mainly right-sided), frontal/supraorbitary, and accompanied by photophobia and nausea/vomiting, becoming more severe in adult life. After recurrent sick leaves from his professorship chair at Basel (1871, 1876), Nietzsche retired in 1879. During the 1880s, he used to take a variety of medicines against numerous complaints:

Allergic conjunctivitis Description Allergic conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva caused due to allergy. It is mainly caused by air borne allergy contacting the eye. Specific IgE causes local mast cell degranulation and the release of chemical mediators including histamines, eosinophil, chemo- tactic factors and platelet activating factors that lead to inflammation. Allergic conjunctivitis occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions, with the symptoms having a seasonal

Introduction Snow blindness is a severe form of photokeratitis or radiation keratitis1, inflammation of the cornea due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reflected off of snow and ice, normally at high altitudes as the atmosphere is thinner. Extreme cold temperatures and a dry environment can also contribute to snow blindness, as snow blindness is sometimes also referred to as the freezing and drying of the corneal surface.2 Snow blindness is usually associated to skiing, mountain climbing

INTRODUCTION. Pellucid Marginal Degeneration (PMD), also known as keratotorus [1], is a corneal ectasia that is often mistaken to be keratoconus, due to the similar features it shares [1, 2]. Pellucid Marginal Degeneration is a non-inflammatory disease that usually occurs bilaterally, however in some cases it may occur unilaterally [2]. Being a rare, progressive disorder, Pellucid Marginal Degeneration is characterised by the thinning of the inferior and peripheral portion of the cornea, although
