Basal cell carcinoma

Oral Cancer Oral Cancer falls in the same category as head and neck cancer. It is usually found in the front or floor of the mouth, or on the tongue. Survival rates of this type of cancer are good if it is detected early. Unfortunately, this type of cancer is hard to detect. The reason it is hard to detect is because the symptoms can go unnoticed. Who is at Risk? The people most at risk for developing oral cancer are tobacco users and alcohol users. If alcohol and tobacco are combined, the…

Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma In 2011, an estimated 1300 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in Canada, with about 350 deaths stated by the Canadian Cancer Society (as cited in CMAJ, 2013). Cervical cancer is a disease that can be very serious. It is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. To properly care for these patient’s nurses should have a strong knowledge and understanding about the pathophysiology, risk factors, stages, treatments, and nursing…

Introduction: This essay will define what dual-tasking is, what it can tell us about brain function and how it could be important to help provide an early diagnosis of neurological diseases. The essay will also include information about how an early diagnosis has made it easier for people to have a more clear understanding of what they are expected to go through, with a disease such as Parkinson's or Alzheimers. It will also explain how the earlier the diagnosis gives the patient time to find…

The basal ganglia plays a vital role in the way movement happens and when dopamine does not follow the path that it is suppose to, it hinders body movement. Parkinson’s disease is often known as PD and it is a progressive neurological condition, which means the sickness and symptoms get more severe as time goes on (Noble, 2007). Out of all the neurodegenerative disorders, PD is the second most common one (Noble, 2007). It happens amongst 1% of the population older than sixty years. (Samii, 2004)…

of modern neurology. He clearly defined the disease as a slow progressive disease of the central nervous system that leads to motor impairment. It involves extensive degenerative changes in the basal ganglia which has a role in movement. As well as the loss of or decrease in levels of dopamine in the basal ganglia. Parkinson disease involves the lack of dopamine…

Parkinson's disease, also abbreviated as “PD”, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects a person's nervous system, making them have trouble moving. A human has certain kinds of nerve cells in the brain called dopamine, these cells transmit and send signals to the brain allowing a person to control their movement. When these cells start breaking down and having problems, they cause a person to lose their control of movement, due to the lack of dopamine. PD is not a communicable disease – it…

The focus of the research was to understand if cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) has the ability to protect and restore dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal system following the injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The research was conducted because there has not been a study conducted on the MPTP Parkinson’s disease model with the treatment of CDNF. C57/B16 mice were used as the research subjects. The hypothesis was first tested by injecting the…

identifying the cause, symptoms and treatments of Parkinson’s, a conclusion on how Parkinson’s Disease effects the Central Nervous System can be made. The basal ganglia is the very deep parts of the brain where there are a nerve cells which is responsible to control movement. Individuals suffering from Parkinson's lack function nerve cells, which is why they have this disorder. The brain chemical dopamine is used…

Affecting more than 10 million people worldwide, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic disorder that causes progressive movement debilitation. It has been found that this progressive impairment is due to deterioration of neurons in the substantia nigra; this consequently suppresses the production of dopamine. Because this chemical messenger is what initiates movement, those that suffer from Parkinson’s experience symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.…

exert their effects on the gastrointestinal tract by activating CB1 and CB2 receptors, located in various areas of the body’s endocannabinoid system. CB1 receptors are present to a high degree in regions of the brain, while CB2 receptors are in immune cells. When functional changes occur in the body that stems from the presence of an illness, the endocannabinoid system conveys protection to the gastrointestinal tract from inflammation and abnormally high gastric and enteric secretion.
