The CNGB3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the beta subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Cones provide colour vision and vision in bright light (daytime vision). Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).
Normal function
The CNGB3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the beta subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Cones provide colour vision and vision in bright light (daytime vision). Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).
CNG channels are openings in the cell membrane that transport positively charged atoms (ions) into cells. The CNG channels in cones remain open in low light, allowing ions to flow in. When light enters the eye, these channels close, stopping the flow of ions. This change in ion transport alters the cone's electrical charge, which ultimately generates a signal. This signal is sent to the brain, where it combines with other visual information and is interpreted as vision. The process of translating light into an electrical signal is called phototransduction.

Thalassémie
Thalassémie est an inherited condition affecting the blood. For the more severe forms of thalassaemia, modern treatment gives a good outlook, but lifelong monitoring and treatment are needed. Thalassaemia is an inherited (genetic) condition affecting the blood. The cause is an inherited (genetic) change, involving the genes which tell the body how.

Maladie des valves cardiaques
Heart valves sit in between the chambers of the heart and control the blood flow through the heart. There are four common types of heart valve problem - mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation , aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation.

Puis-je prendre Bisoprolol et Trimbow ensemble ?
Bisoprolol may cause the airways to narrow, making it harder to breathe and potentially triggering asthma or COPD symptoms. It also makes the formoterol in the Trimbow inhaler less effective at opening your airways. Why this happens Bisoprolol est a 'beta-blocker' and formoterol (in Trimbow) is a 'beta-agonist'. They compete for the same receptors.
