[[Stub]]

Epilepsy, or seizure disorders, covers a wide range of unpredictable seizures and related health problems. Epilepsy is a spectrum condition with severity of seizures and control over the condition varying between patients. Epilepsy may be caused by a brain-injury or by heredity, but most cases have no known cause. To be diagnosed, one needs to experience at least two seizures with no known provocation.

Amino acid

JohannaH:created page, framework, and categories

Amino acids are organic compounds. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N), although other elements are found in the side chains of certain amino acids. Because of their biological significance, amino acids are important in nutrition and are commonly used in nutritional supplements, fertilizers, and food technology. Industrial uses include the production of drugs, biodegradable plastics, and chiral catalysts.

Bacteria

JohannaH:links and categories

Bacteria is a type of biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. The largest number exist in the [[Gastrointestinal system|gut]] flora, and a large number on the skin. The vast majority of the bacteria in the body are rendered harmless by the protective effects of the [[immune system]], though many are beneficial, particularly in the gut flora.

Antiviral drugs are a class of [[medication]] used specifically for treating [[Virus|viral infections]] rather than [[Bacteria|bacterial]] ones. Most antivirals are used for specific viral infections, while a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against a wide range of viruses. Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target [[pathogen]]; instead they inhibit their development.

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two chains (made of nucleotides) which coil around each other to form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid ([[RNA]]) are nucleic acids; alongside [[proteins]], [[lipids]] and [[complex carbohydrates]] (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.

Enzyme

2018-07-18T23:40:35Z

JohannaH:expanded text

An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific [[biochemical]] reaction. Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. An enzyme's name is often derived from its substrate or the chemical reaction it catalyzes, with the word ending in ''-ase''. Examples are lactase, alcohol dehydrogenase and DNA polymerase.

Nabumetone

Nabumetone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ([[NSAIDs|NSAID]]). Nabumetone has been developed by Beecham. It is available under numerous brand names, such as Relafen, Relifex, and Gambaran.

Nabumetone is a nonacidic NSAID that is rapidly metabolized in the liver to a major active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl acetic acid. As found with previous NSAIDs, nabumetone's active metabolite inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme and preferentially blocks [[COX-2 inhibitors|COX-2]] activity (which is indirectly responsible for the production of [[inflammation]] and [[pain]] during arthritis). The active metabolite of nabumetone is felt to be the compound primarily responsible for therapeutic effect.

Mefenamic acid is a member of the anthranilic acid derivatives (or fenamate) class of [[NSAIDs|NSAID]] drugs, and is used to treat mild to moderate [[pain]], including menstrual pain, and is sometimes used to prevent migraines associated with menstruation. It is not widely used in the United States due to its side effects and high cost compared to other NSAID drugs.

Its name derives from its systematic name, dimethylphenylaminobenzoic acid. It was discovered and brought to market by Parke-Davis in the 1960s. It became generic in the 1980s and is available worldwide under many brand names.

==List==

* Vitamin B1 - [[Thiamine]]
* Vitamin B2 - [[Riboflavin]]
* Vitamin B3 - [[Niacin]]
* Vitamin B5 - [[Pantothenic Acid]]
* Vitamin B6 - [[Vitamin B6|Pyridoxine]]

'''Vitamin B<sub>6</sub>''' (pyridoxine) is a co-factor in [[amino acid]] metabolism, the [[folate]] cycle, and the biosynthesis of [[neurotransmitter]]s, including [[dopamine]], [[GABA]], [[melatonin]], [[norepinephrine]], and [[serotonin]].

==Role in the body==
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor for [[diamine oxidase]], the enzyme that breaks down [[histamine]]. It is also a cofactor (in pyridoxal 5'-phosphate form) of [[histidine decarboxylase]], the enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of [[histidine]] to form histamine.

==Chronic fatigue syndrome==
One very small study found decreased functional status of several [[B vitamin]]s including pyroxidine, [[riboflavin]] and [[thiamine]].<ref name="wessely1999" />

'''Vitamin B12''', also known as '''cobalamin''', is a water-soluble [[vitamin]], one of the eight-part B complex.

==Physiology==
B12 is involved in cellular metabolism and formation of red blood cells (RBCs). It has an integral role in brain and nervous system function. B12 is made from an intrinsic factor, i.e., a glycoprotein, in the human stomach.

==Immune system==
Vitamin B12 deficiency may be associated with decreased [[natural killer cell]] activity.<ref name="tamura1999" />
