If we refer to the latest studies on the use of artificial intelligence in health applications [1], we notice that different algorithms and software have been developed and tested in order to compare the results obtained between a human diagnosis and one given by a machine. As an example we can mention the recent competence in China in the diagnosis of brain tumors in which the Biomind system surpassed 87% of correct diagnoses to a group of surgeons, who achieved 66% (out of 225 cases studied, in 15 ‘against 30 ‘respectively)[2].

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin (AAT) insufficiency is the most common genetic cause of hepatic disease in children and genetic disease for which children undergo hepatic transplantation. It also causes cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in adults. Mutant Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Z molecule undergoes polymerization in the endoplasmic reticulum and that a subpopulation of Alpha Antitrypsin deficient individuals may be susceptible to hepatic injury because they also have a trait that reduces the efficiency by which the mutant Alpha Antitrypsin Z molecule is degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus, but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria. DNA was thought to be a simple molecule, consisting of nucleotides strung together like beads on a string.By the late 1940s biochemists knew that DNA was a very long polymer made up of millions of nucleotides. DNA is made up of two strands and each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the production of the complementary strand, a process referred to as semi conservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication. DNA usually exists as a double-stranded structure, with both strands coiled together to form the characteristic double- helix. Each single strand of DNA is a chain of four types of nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA contain a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nucleobase. The four types of nucleotide correspond to the four-nucleobase adenine; cytosine, guanine, and thymine, commonly abbreviated as A, C, G and T. This review was assumed to have the historical background of DNA replicationand major DNA replication steps and its function.

Brain tumor, stroke, hemorrhage and multiple sclerosis (MS) disease are the life threatening diseases in both male and female. A brain tumor is the most common and widespread disease among these brain diseases. The worldwide cancer incidence of brain tumor is 3.4 per 100,000 people (men: 3.9 per 100,000, women: 3.0 per 100,000. A total of 256,213 affected worldwide (139,608 men and 116,605 women). The trend of new cases is rising and 189,582 sufferers worldwide. Every day about 700 people is diagnosed with a brain tumor [1]. 15 million people are affected by stroke and hemorrhage; of this 5 million die and another 5 million (2002 estimates) are permanently disabled. Today over 2,500,000 people around the world have MS [2].

The experiment was conducted during 2017 at the compound of Hawassa University in the College of Agriculture, Southern Ethiopia during off cropping season. To investigate the performance of different mung bean varieties on response of different growth parameters such as Specific Leaf Area, Leaf area ratio, net assimilation rate, and Relative growth and total dry Biomass.. Three mung bean cultivars were grown in randomized complete block design with three replications. The objective of the study was to assess the performance of mung bean cultivars in relation to growth parameters and to estimate the analysis of growth characteristics using the primary values generated from these cultivars. Data were specific leaf area ratio, leaf area ratio, net assimilation rate, relative growth rate and above ground biomass. There is significant difference among cultivars observed for total dry biomass. The SLA and LAR of all cultivars increment from first sample to second sample as crop development progressed. The highest SLA and LAR were attributed suniana variety. Gofa local cultivar is highest Total dry biomass, since in this study genetic factor and environment are key factors for achieving optimum growth and dry matter production of mung bean cultivars.
