the elongation step of viral DNA replication. The study showed that Acyclovir is phosphorylated into monophosphate purine analog, and remained in the infected cells before being converted into the triphosphate active form by the viral thymidine kinase. Once in this form, DNA polymerase will substitute it for Guanine triphosphate into the viral DNA chain. Due to Acyclovir’s structure, the lack of a second hydroxyl group prevents another residue to be attached and terminates chain growth. This…

Tuberous sclerosis (tuberous sclerosis complex TSC) is a genetic disorder that begins developing in the embryonic phase. Parents carrying the gene have a 50 percent chance of passing the condition on to offspring. Affected individuals carry only one gene inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. There are two known genes associated with TSC. When a copy of one of the two genes is altered, tumors and abnormal tissues grow through the body. Families with a history of TSC, whether parents are…

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding in women. These benign tumors are composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue. The ultrasound appearance of fibroids varies and depends on their size, location and type of degeneration they may be under-going. In most cases they are asymptomatic but if they grow large can cause symptoms including abnormal and/or heavy bleeding, painful menses, abdominal discomfort, back ache, constipation, and infertility.…

Introduction Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer is a major health issue around the world. It would be wise exercise for those people that have been diagnosed with cancer. “ Hence instead of dealing the side effects of undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, regular exercise had been demonstrated to have great…

1. Briefly explain a situation when you used proactive coping?

Patient Y is a 58year old male that was referred to our department with a large (3x3cm) node of the R neck, level II, which he had had for 3 years. His fine needle aspiration (FNA) results showed potential small cell neuro-endocrine tumour, but had insufficient tissue for a confirmed diagnosis. His oncologist sent him for further staging tests, which included a MRI which only confirmed the nodal involvement and advised a core needle biopsy of the mass. This revealed a squamous cell carcinoma…
