Dangers of Dengue Fever:

Dengue Fever afflicts thousands of people and is a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a viral infectious disease which is transmitted by a special type of mosquito known as “Aedes Aegypti”. It attacks the blood cells, spleen and liver and causes the white blood cells to reduce and disturbs the blood clotting components known as Platelets.

The most common symptoms of dengue fever include body ache, fatigue, high fever with headache, abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting and dry cough. The fever usually persists for about two weeks and leaves the patient in a fragile state of health.

The most important thing in dengue is to control the high fever. Paracetamol is usually administered in this case, while the use of antibiotic should be avoided because it further decreases the platelets and blood cell count.

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, we must take certain safety measures in order to avoid catching dengue or to prevent it from spreading. To prevent mosquito bites, wear long pants and long sleeves. Mosquito Repellant Sprays should be used in areas where dengue is prevalent. Regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor the platelet and blood cell count.

Bentham Science Publishers’ journal “Anti-Infective Agents” publishes original research, expert reviews, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited issues on all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, biology, pharmacology and use of anti-infective and anti-parasitic agents.

The Risks of Food Poisoning

Food poisoning refers to food-borne illness which is caused by contaminated food intake infected with viruses, bacteria and other toxins. There are a number of sources for these contaminants to enter your body and blood stream, from where they cause numerous stomach diseases.

One of the most common sources of contamination is the infected food handler. These handlers neither wash their hands properly nor wear gloves, which is a big health concern. Dirty kitchenware and service utensils are another source of infectivity.

One way to avoid food-borne illness is to prepare food at high temperatures to kill the contaminants. Food must also be stored in refrigerator to keep it from going bad.

The symptoms of food poisoning start to develop within 2 to 6 hours after eating the contaminated food. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include diarrhea, nausea, headaches and abdominal cramps.

Bentham Science Publishers’ journal ‘Recent Patents on Food, Nutrition & Agriculture’ publishes research related to food science and nutrition. The journal is a useful guide for all researchers involved in the study of food, nutrition and agricultural sciences. It publishes important patents on food safety issues and healthy diet.

Nervous System and Their Disorders

The nervous system is called the backbone of the human body. It consists of the brain, nerves and spinal cord. The nerves are spread all over our body and all the nerves connect and report back to the brain. The brain sends signals to the nerves, regarding a body function, and the nerves report back to the brain. A neurological disorder is happened when the nervous system stops responding to the commands by the brain. There are more than 600 neurological disorders. Most of them can be cured if they are diagnosed at an early stage.

Disorders like ‘Autism’ and “Bipolar Disorder’ transpire due to a fault in genes. Diseases may also occur due to damaged nerve cells. These diseases include Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Epilepsy is one nervous system disorder which is eminent among other nervous disorders. Cancer and brain tumors can also happen because of flaw in the nerves.

Neuro-infections and neurological disorders are the sixth cause of neurological consultation in primary care services throughout the globe, but, still with the initiation of effective vaccines and anti-biotic, this issue will remain an uphill task in many regions of the world.

There are various STM Publishers. The name of Bentham Science Publishers is highly established within the publication industry. They have a lot of journals based on neuroscience. To view these journals, visit:

Innovative Biotechnology Discoveries:

University of Iowa, U.S., has carried out a remarkable research related to bones. A terrific procedure for the reproduction of damaged bones has been discovered known as “Bio patch”. This procedure sends instructions to the cells with the help of microscopic particles implanted with DNA.

Experimental analysis has made it clear that programming of the gene patch show positive response in activating fresh growth in stromal cells within the human body. Gene encoding patch also repairs birth defects around face and missing bones.

Bentham Science Publishers is a reputable name in scientific publication industry. They publish numerous STM journals throughout the year.  Furthermore, various categories of e-books and journals are available, related to Current Biotechnology.

Besides gene encoding in biotechnology, virus mutation is also an innovation which helps in providing extended battery life. By giving a free access to genetically modified virus upon microscopic electrode wires, the performance of Lithium air batteries has been radically improved. This is considered as an achievement in the transformation of electric devices.

Bentham Science Journal-Current Organic Chemistry:

Organic Chemistry is the science of synthesizing, characterizing, designing and developing different applications for molecules which contain carbon as an essential element.

Organic chemists play a vital role within the field of Current Organic Chemistry. They create and study organic compounds and explore innovative applications for the organic materials. All the synthetic reactions and isolations have been performed in a laboratory atmosphere through refined equipments like nuclear magnetic resonance, visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectroscopy.

Current Organic Chemistry provides detailed review on the recent development within the fields of organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry and analytical procedures in organic chemistry.

Current Organic Chemistry –an outstanding journal from the shelves of Bentham Science Publishers has an impact factor of 3.039. The Current Organic Chemistry journal includes high quality research papers, letters and highlights besides thematic issues within these fields.

 One of the Nobel Laureate, Dr. H.C. Brown, discussed his opinion about this journal as: "Current Organic Chemistry is an important chemistry review journal which will present frontier reviews in organic chemistry. The journal will prove to be a very useful source of up-to-date information. The eminent international stature of the Guest Editors will guarantee the high standards expected of an international journal."

Bentham Science Journal- Current Alzheimer Research

Alzheimer is a disease which is an intense brain disorder that harms the brain cells and eventually destroys it. This damaging further leads to memory loss and brings about many changes in the functionality of the brain and cognition.

This disease develops gradually and it gets worse as more brain cells die or wither. Unfortunately, Alzheimer is a fatal disease and currently has no successful cure. Researches have been conducted globally to find the cure of this fatal syndrome.

Current Alzheimer Research – an excellent journal from the shelves of Bentham Science Publishers that features peer-reviewed letter articles, frontier review, and research covering all major areas of Alzheimer disease. This journal has an impact factor 3.676. This multidisciplinary journal will help in understanding the neurobiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Alzheimer’s disease.  Stay up to date on the latest advances in the cure, treatment, research and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease by visiting: http://www.benthamscience.com/car/

Rudolph E. Tanzi from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, USA has shared his views about this Journal: "Current Alzheimer Research is a great source of the most relevant and timely research in the field of AD research."
