In eukaryotes, ribosomes get their orders for protein synthesis from the nucleus, where portions of DNA (genes) are transcribed to make messenger RNAs (mRNAs). An mRNA travels to the ribosome, which uses the information it contains to build a protein with a specific amino acid sequence.
The top 10 causes of death. Top 10 causes of death worldwide. Of the 56.4 million deaths worldwide in 2015, more than half (54%) were due to the top 10 causes. Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the worldâs biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15 million deaths in 2015.

One would logically infer from this that alcohol induced arrhythmias are a commonly stated cause of death. This, however, is not the case [3,8,9]. The fact that alcohol can be a cause of sudden cardiac death is unrecognized by many pathologists [8] and many of these deaths are being incorrectly attributed to other causes such as minor coronary artery atherosclerosis [10].
