INTRODUCTION

In early civilizations, illness was usually believed to be due to divine punishment. The Aztecs Indian of South America, for example, believed that particular diseases were linked to specific gods; thus their god Tlaloc was associated with diseases caused by water, such as oedema (4). Similarly, Greek physicians, such as Theoprastus, were generally followers of Asclepius, the god of Medicine. Thus the use of plants for healing became strongly associated with the gods.

Synopsis:

We examined the effects of choline supplementation in young Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were place into two groups and received either choline supplementation or vehicle over a period of two weeks. We found that the two-week choline supplementation in young rats improved the consolidation of short-term memory into intermediate long-term memory.

Issue:

Vol 61, Issue 8 (2012)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2011.220

Pages:

802–8

Synopsis:

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a group of adult psychiatric patients at the University Hospital of the West Indies was 28.9% and could represent a pathway to the future development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Screening and continuous monitoring will allow for early intervention and possibly prevention of increased morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population.
