Inflammatory breast cancer

facts? A fact that posed as misconduct is the lack in compassion and commitment from both the physician Dr. Evans and the employees at the medical clinic in the institution. Because of the fact that Dr. Evans failed to identify the lump in Tomcik’s breast as a result of a passively performed examination, he did not follow his obligation, as a physician, to deliver the high-quality care that patients should receive. In regard of the employees at the medical clinic, they did not give Tomcik…

Abstract: In this paper, we have developed a shape feature extraction of MRI brain tumor image retrieval. We used T1 weighted image of MRI brain tumor images. There are two modules: feature extraction process and classification. First, the shape features are extracted using techniques like Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT), Harris corner detection and Zernike moments. Second, the supervised learning algorithms like Deep neural network (DNN) and Extreme learning machine (ELM) are used to…

1. INTRODUCTION Over 90,000 people suffer from nervous system injuries every year (Stabenfeldt, García & Laplaca, 2006) while spinal cord injury alone affects 10,000 people each year (Prang et al., 2006). The new invention, NeuRobot, a kind of nanorobot which is defined as a controllable machine at the nanometer scale that are composed of nano-scale components and algorithmically respond to input forces and information, is believed to bring the nanotechnology to the next level and be the answer…

Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States and one of three major medical problems internationally (Siegel 7). Constant donations and charity raising events are brought to the public eye in hopes to one day find a cure. In 1993, ESPN developed an award called the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to commemorate someone who demonstrates courage and do things to transcend their sporting careers. In the first year of its existence, ESPN awarded this award to Jim Valvano at the…

Racism and medical ethics is how this book was given life. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a novel based on the woman whose cancer cells would become one of the greatest assets to modern medicine. Her cells would become known simply as HeLa cells: taken from her first and last name. The book does more than just focus on her and her cancer cells, it shows what life was like for her family after the HeLa cells became a groundbreaking discovery in medicine. Without the racism of 1950s south…

Results Conclusively cancer manifests itself in many forms within organisms, with different intensity levels. In the simplest of cases there is noninvasive breast cancer, where the cancer cells are essentially localized and remain there. On the other hand there is invasive breast cancer, where the cancerous cells spread (metastasize) throughout the body by using the bloodstream and lymphs. Most cancer patients are primarily treated for breast cancer with surgery by carrying out simple or…

What if cancer was preventable? What if thousands of lives could be saved? While not the case for all, some forms of cancer can be prevented. The vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV) accomplishes this feat, yet many still do not receive the vaccine. In fact, according to a study performed in 2016, 61% of health care professionals stated that the most commonly refused or rescheduled vaccine was the Gardasil vaccine, which is the name for the vaccine that protects against…

Analysis of the Cancer Experience in 50/50 The film 50/50 (2011), directed by Jonathan Levine and produced by Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen, and Ben Karlin, presents an accurate depiction of cancer through the diagnosis and treatment of a cancer patient named Adam. However, the diagnosis of a disease is not enough to view an individual’s experience as a cohesive whole, as personal and environmental factors play vital roles in an individual’s quality of life with an illness (World Health Organization…

CASE STUDY3: INFLIXIMAB & ITS BIOSIMILAR Infliximab is a chimeric, anti-tumor necrosis factor monoclonal antibody which is effective in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. Infliximab is traded under the name “remicade” and is originally licensed by Janssen. It works by binding to TNF-α and inhibits the binding of TNF-α with its receptor. TNF-α is a cytokine (chemical messenger) that is involved in systemic inflammation. CT-P13 (brand name- inflectra) is a biosimilar of infliximab…
