A Brief Guide to Genomics |
An organism's complete set of DNA is called its genome. Virtually every single cell in the body contains a complete copy of the approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs, or letters, that make up the human genome. |

About the Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases Program |
"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program is part of a congressionally funded effort to encourage and speed the development of new drugs for rare and neglected diseases. The federal budget for fiscal 2009 dedicated $24 million to establish this initiative. |

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 |
Genetic discrimination occurs if people are treated unfairly because of differences in their DNA that increase their chances of getting a certain disease. For example, a health insurer might refuse to give coverage to a woman who has a DNA difference that raises her odds of getting breast cancer. Employers also could use DNA information to decide whether to hire or fire workers. |

Causes of High Blood Pressure |
Changes, either from genes or the environment, in the body’s normal functions may cause high blood pressure, including changes to kidney fluid and salt balances, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system activity, and blood vessel structure and function. |

Beneficios de la actividad física |
La actividad aeróbica moderada e intensa que se realiza con regularidad, reporta muchos beneficios a la salud, como: fortalecer el corazón, mejorar la función pulmonar, reducir el riesgo de enfermedad coronaria y de tener un segundo ataque cardíaco en personas que ya han tenido uno, disminuir la presión arterial y los triglicéridos en la sangre, elevar los niveles de colesterol HDL (colesterol “bueno”), ayudar al cuerpo a controlar los niveles de azúcar en la sangre, reducir la inflamación en el cuerpo y mantener un peso saludable. |

Catheter Ablation |
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses energy to make small scars in your heart tissue to prevent abnormal electrical signals from moving through your heart. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation uses high-energy, locally delivered RF signals to make the scars. Cryoablation uses extremely cold temperatures to make the scars. Sometimes, laser light energy is used. |
