Acute promyelocytic 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…

Leukemia is a disease that is commonly treated by using chemotherapy and with this treatment comes a lot of side effects like myelosuppression (Thompson 2000). Patient that get Myelosuppression are sometimes diagnosed with anemia which is a disease that results from low level of oxygenated red blood cells and thrombocytopenia which is a decrease in the amount of platelets that a patients has (Thompson 2000). Leukemia affects the cardiovascular system by forcing the clotting cascade to start and…

The Genetic Effects on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Following the American Psychological Association Guidelines Christina Taylor Baker University October 7, 2015 Pathophysiology: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) contains malignant cells that are lymphoid precursor cells, also known as lymphoblasts. During the early development of these cells, they experience an interruption of their cell development. This is usually due to an abnormal gene expression, mostly caused by chromosomal…

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…

Mia Bento Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Mia Bento, a five year old girl, was suffering from lymphoblastic leukemia cancer. When Mia first noticed that she was having foot pains for several months, her mom took her to a Pediatrician where he discovered bad results in Mia’s blood test. Mia was eventually sent to the emergency room. When she got to the emergency room, her temperature rose as soon as she got into the hospital. Mia was immediately diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia…

affected by leukemia. Leukemia is one of the most common cancers in children and teens. There are many types of leukemia that affect different people. The type of leukemia that most children are affected by is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In this paper, I am going to discuss the definition and symptoms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the treatment of this disease, and how children are affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a…

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…
