Warwickshire, England, DNA abnormalities have often found such as the existence of multiple chromosomes or chromosome number less. But a boy in England had a more unusual DNA abnormality which first discovered in the world.

DNA or Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid is a nucleic acid that stores all information about genetics. DNA is what determines the type of hair, skin color and specific qualities of human beings.

Inside the cell nucleus, the DNA strands to form a unity called chromosomes. Every normal human cell has 46 chromosomes consisting of 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY).

But the boy Alfie Clamp, 2-year-old diagnosed as having excess strands or excess branches (extra strand) in its DNA. These conditions are fairly rare and make the doctors confused.

Based on the results of examination is known that there are 7 chromosomes in DNA Alfie have a branches or strands of material excess. This condition has never been found before in the entire world.

As a result, not single doctors who could handle it because of confusion and did not find a name for this condition which extremely rare.

In addition experts did not know whether this condition will improve or even reduce the life expectancy of Alfie. Doctors should perform various tests to determine the cause.

Because these DNA abnormalities, Alfie was blind since his born and severely disabled.

Alfie's parents, Gemma and Richard Clamp find nothing wrong with her ​​son after he was first brought home after being born at the hospital.

Within a few days Alfie had to be rushed back to hospital because his breathing stopped and his lips turn blue. Then when he was 6 weeks doctors discovered a rare disorder in her DNA.

"When the doctor told us, I'm absolutely shattered. As a mother who was pregnant, I spent 9 months and think about what happens when I saw my baby made ​​it the first time or clapping," said Gemma Clamp, as quoted from Dailymail Friday (04/15/2011).

These conditions make Alfie can not see up to 3 months old and the muscles in his body so weak that it can not control himself. Currently he is still experiencing a serious digestive problem, so every day he takes medication to help the body absorb vital nutrients.

He also suffered from seizures due to high temperature and metabolic problems. This condition causes Alfie should be alternating in the hospital, and he recovered after spending time in hospital.

But now Alfie from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England has been able to see and will perform the next operation to fix the problem in his colon.

Alfie's condition is different from his brother Georgia (10 years) which looks very healthy. After examination of Georgia have a DNA of healthy and do not carry the defective gene. Both parents also do not have a gene abnormality detected.

A unique campaign made by a woman. For the sake of saving many lives of women affected by breast cancer, a woman willing to do long touring across the United States for 40 days.

This woman named Tamela Rich willing to explore the United States alone for 40 days for a rescue campaign from breast cancer. This is the second time Rich did a long journey.

Besides campaigning to tell how dangerous breast cancers, in this way Rich also has its own mission that is going to interview the American and Canadian motorists who survived cancer to writing a book titled "Full Throttle Live: What you can learn about the lives of women who been coping with cancer. "

In 2010, Rich also joined with some female riders from across America and Canada to join a "Women Who Ride Conga" to raise about U.S. $ 40 thousand.

Rich's own journey started from Westinghouse. From there, Rich went to Robbinsville and then passes through the Gap Deal or also known as

As "The Tail of the Dragon" After that, Rich went on his way to the west coast of the United States.

Motorists who want to welcome Rich in the region that it passes too was asked to show their spirit by decorating their bikes with great fanfare and put something pink on the vehicle. Rich is also ready to make a decorated bike contest bra for fundraising.

"It's amazing; people immediately know you're doing something for breast cancer when they saw a motorcycle that you decorate. People from all over the country were asked to get their picture with me," said Rich as quoted from the motorcycle on Monday (20 / 6 / 2011).

"It gives me the opportunity to ask for donations to research and hear how breast cancer has touched their lives. Everyone has a story about a friend, family member or co-workers because breast cancer touches one in every eight women," he concluded.

Boston, Turning off lights when you sleep at night not only save on electricity bills, but also good for health. Recent research shows that sleeping in a room brightly lit conditions can increase the risk for have contracted by type 2 diabetes.

The study was conducted by Joshua Gooley, health experts from Harvard Medical School in Boston. In experiments conducted five consecutive days, the Gooley involving 116 participants aged between 18-30 years.

The participants were divided into 2 groups, one of which is conditioned to be in a room lit for 8 hours before bedtime. The other group was placed in a dim room with the same duration of 8 hours.

Results of blood samples taken every 30 minutes showed the hormone melatonin production fell 50 percent in participants who are in the room light. These hormones regulate the biological clock associated with the cycle between sleep and waking.

In addition to triggering sleepiness, melatonin is also associated with some types of serious illnesses. Melatonin receptors located in the nerve can be called to increase the risk of cancer and type two diabetes if its activity is reduced.

"The results provide a big impact for workers who are exposed to light throughout the night last night and nap when the sun shines brightly," Gooley said as quoted by the AP on Monday (1/17/2011).

However, Gooley can not explain with certainty the relationship between melatonin receptor activity with an increased risk of cancer and diabetes. The mechanism that causes the two interconnected new will be revealed in subsequent research Gooley.
