Coeliac disease
Coeliac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy is an inherited disease caused by an allergic reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. The immune system attacks the lining of the intestines in response to the allergy. This common disease, if left untreated, can leave the intestine unable to absorb essential nutrients and vitamins leading to anaemia, bone disease and, rarely, forms of cancer.
CAM Treatment
CAM is an abbreviation for Cambridge (England) where a new therapy for amblyopia was proposed that used rotating gratings (series of black and white bars). Patients would view the rotating gratings while they performed various drawing tasks on top of the rotating gratings.

Carbidopa
Carbidopa is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor. Dopa decarboxylase is an enzyme that converts levodopa into dopamine - a major neurotransmitter and neuromodular of cellular function. Carbidopa is sometimes used to prevent the peripheral conversion of levodopa into dopamine in peripheral sites such as the gut, thus allowing more levodopa to reach the brain where it can have therapeutic effects.
Chalazion
In the eyelid there are a number of glands that produce lubricants for the cornea and eyelid. A Chalazion occurs when a gland become plugged, enlarged, or infected. The lid looks like it has a lump about the size of a small pea. Occasionally it occurs as a thickness within the lid. Warm compresses help some disappear; others require surgical removal by an Ophthalmologist.
