Diabetes Overview Epidemiology Horton Part 1 NDEI PPSCME |
| Dr Edward Horton, MD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School discusses the epidemiology of type 2 diabetes. This activity promises to be an informative session that will provide a framework to better understand the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and the role of insulin resistance, strategies to preserve ß-cell function, and treatment modalities to slow the progression to type 2 diabetes, improve atherosclerotic disorders, and preserve ß-cell health. |

How the Body Works : Center of Emotion and Memory |
| How the Body Works Center of Emotion and Memory The limbic system, which is concerned with memory and learning, is also believed to be primarily involved in emotional responses. Emotions are the conscious result of the interaction between the activities of the cerebral cortex, the limbic system and the visceral organs of the body which produce specific physical changes. A number of theories have been postulated to explain this relationship between the body and mind. The emotional responses of any individual are, however, also a product of his knowledge and experience. The anatomy of the limbic system includes: The amygdaloid bodies, which contain both incoming and outgoing nerve fibers, and may help to regulate emotions, particularly agression. The fornix, a thick bundle of nerve fibers which forms the outgoing pathway from the hippocampus. The afferent fibers bring impulses into the dentate gyrus and the area of Ammon's horn. The dentate gyrus which lies within the hippocampal sulcus and although its function is not fully understood may relay impulses in the hippocampus. The subiculum is a region of cortex composed of up to six different cell layers and a multitude of nerve pathways. Ammon's horn, which merges with the subiculum and contains ovoid and pyramidal cells, the function of which are thought to be associated with memory. The efferent fibers, which carry information out from Ammon's horn to other regions of the brain. The hippocampus, which is composed of folded layers of cells and fibers and is associated with emotions, learning and short-term memory. The parahippocampal gyrus, a highly specialized area of nerve cells concerned with memory pathways. The mammillary bodies, which have incoming and outgoing nerve fibers and acts as a relay station between the limbic system and the brain. ...and the septum pelucidum, which links the amygdala with the hypothalamus and is believed to be concerned with pleasure reactions. |

Alzheimer's Disease Caused by Infection |
| Images of Borrelia DNA in Alzheimer's Disease brain tissue- Including Specific DNA probes for Borrelia Flagellin DNA ( A DNA sequence which is NOT present in the human genome) which glows Green when it finds its Target DNA in Alzheimer's brain tissue. Also illustrated in this short video are the concepts of TRANSSYNAPTIC transmission of infection in Rabies,and in Herpes Zoster/Shingles. Infections INSIDE of a nerve cell are transmitted Across Synapse connections to neighboring Nerve cells. Borrelia spirochetes gain access to the interior regions of nerve cells and are also\ capable of "JUMPING' across Synapses to infect neighboring Nerve cells. Networks of Connected nerve cells (NEURAL CIRCUITS) then become infected by Trans-synaptic transmission. This "NETWORK" of infected nerve cells in the brain explains the PATTERN of Sequential destruction of Brain tissue in the Braak Stages of Alzheimer's Disease through the Braak stages I,II,III, IV, V , VI.
