Among the latest technologies, antisense therapy, the use of short spans of nucleic acid to disrupt the expression of disease related gene sequences, is receiving attention as a novel therapy for diseases such as AIDS and Crohn's Disease. Normally, the code of a gene (its sense strand) is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into a protein.

Issues addressed in recent and current research topics include: (a) the enumeration of Giardia in drinking water; (b) the quality of drinking water in public buildings; (c) the incidence of Mycobacterium avium Complex and Helicobacter organisms in water supplies; (d) the relationship between sources of drinking water and Crohn’s disease; (e) characterisation of waterborne Aeromonas species for their virulence potential; (f) molecular finger printing of Cryptosporidium oocysts isolated during regulatory monitoring; (g) effectiveness of UV treatment for Cryptosporidium in drinking water. 15.

In some Asian countries cannabis is also added to food as a condiment and used in herbal medicines.”4 Cannabis and its derivatives have proven useful for many citizens worldwide who suffer from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic-stress-disorders, glaucoma, pruritus, asthma, ADHD, Crohn’s-disease, epilepsy, and is particularly useful for relief of unremitting neurological pain.

Alterations in the species composition of the microbiome of the human gut have been linked to chronic disease states (e.g. Crohn’s disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes) and can be used to monitor endemic diseases in a population.26 The metagenome can be used for identifying unknown viruses or bacteria by subtracting human sequences and focusing on known or novel microbial sequences.27 17.

The State party also failed to mention his wife’s state of health: she suffers from Crohn’s disease, which, in conjunction with her advanced age, means she needs constant care and attention.
