Acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Synthetic drugs are a common source of acute injury of the liver. Compared with 30 years ago, the average patient today was older, has more Co morbidity and is exposed to more diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with the potential to harm liver function. Drug Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum) shown to cause hepatotoxic, is an effective against solid tumors as an anti-tumor drug for the treatment of several human affected by cancer to exert their toxic effects by one or more common…

In a world where “cancer” is a frightening world, the word “chemo” can sometimes be just as scary. Since cancer is one of the most common causes of death among people in developed nations, there is constant research being done to find effective treatments and possible cures. Chemotherapy has long been the most common treatment associated with cancer. However, chemo is often known for causing side-effects almost as threatening as the cancer itself due to its toxicity. As new alternative methods…

Glibloblastoma is a type of astrocytoma that starts in the cerebrum and reproduces expeditiously because it makes its own blood supply which allows it to invade normal brain tissue. The cancer is highly malignant and is proto-oncogene. It’s characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation, diffuse infiltration, tendency for necrosis, significant angiogenesis, intense resistance to apoptosis, and widespread genomic aberrations. The tumor arises from the astrocytes which are star shaped cells…

The naked mole rat and the blind mole rat have developed unique anti-cancer mechanisms compared to other mammals. Mammals typically have several methods, such as inducing apoptosis, releasing cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (bound to CDK complexes) which signal cells to stop within a stage of the cell cycle, and contact inhibition in which cells stop growing once they make contact with each other. These mole rats’ distinct mechanisms modify contact inhibition and apoptosis to achieve the…

Every day animals all over the world are unwillingly and harshly treated as experimental objects, to be used for unnecessary scientific cosmetic testing. Across the country, about 26 million animals every year are used in and as experiments. They are used to figure out the toxicity of medications, discover and develop medical treatments, participate in food and chemical tests, and, most especially, make sure certain products for humans, such as cosmetics and other personal care products, are…

Animals have saved many lives throughout history. Why would we want to hurt these innocent creatures that help us everyday and bring joy to our lives. The researchers who subject poor and innocent animals to testing do not give them a choice. The researchers put animals through inhumane ways of product testing, while there are humane ways to put an end to this. Makeup companies keep experimenting on animals because it is a easier; it takes time to switch to more humane methods, plus animal…

Animal Testing- No Go Every year, millions of animals in the U.S. are used as models in biological and medical research to study human disease, injury, development, psychology, and anatomy and physiology (AAVS “How Animal Testing Hurts”). Animals often suffer in these studies, as they are inflicted with diseases, wounds, and pain. After they are done being used, they are often killed. Animal testing should not be allowed because animals are very different from humans and make poor test subjects,…

anesthetics. Chris Abee, Director of UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center says, “There would be no cure for hepatitis B without chimpanzees.” Through testing many discoveries have also been made about treatment for breast cancer, brain injuries, childhood leukemia, cystic fibrosis, malaria, and tuberculosis. Because there is no adequate alternative to testing on a living, whole-body system, animals are just about the only things to use for research. Evaluating the side effects of drugs require a…

Animal Testing According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), over 100 million animals are killed every year in the United States only for educational purposes and for testing potential medicines and products. Although animals have been the subject of experiments since the 300 B. C, it was in the nineteenth century that those experiments became widespread (Orlans 3). With the dissemination of this phenomenon, the popular conscience grew and became a worldwide issue (Orlans 3).…
