Prior to the serendipitous discovery of the first cisplatin anti-cancer complex in 1965 by Dr Barnett Rosenburg after studying unusual bacterial growth patterns, men with testicular cancer had limited medical options available to them with most of cases being fatal [1]. Results have now shown that, with an early diagnosis, over a ten-year age-standardised period net survival rate has increased from 69% in 1972, to 98% in 2011, in England and Wales [2]. Despite this breakthrough, cisplatin is…

As transdermal delivery is a non-invasive route for the therapeutic materials delivery from the intact skin towards the systemic circulation. And as every square centimeter of the surface of the human skin contains ≈10–70 hair follicles and ≈200–250 sweat glands, hence the skin surface could be a conduit for the delivery of therapeutic agents. Additional benefits of using transdermal route is being a painless delivery method, few side effects, providing a low-frequency of therapy administration,…

gained during the multistep transformation of normal cells to cancer (malignant or tumor) cells. The hallmarks include sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, and activating invasion and metastasis. Fundamental to those hallmarks are two additional traits, genome instability, which generates the genetic diversity that expedites their acquisition, and inflammation, which promotes multiple…

Krystal Headen Professor Kaitlin Sidorsky Poli 201 1 December 2015 BLOC Cancer The breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and colon cancer (BLOC) interest group was formed in September 2012 as an effective organization. It began when the founder, Krystal Headen was unfortunately informed that some of her friends and family members had been diagnosed with (remove either) breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, or the Kahler’s disease. Krystal spent several months building…

O vergrowth syndromes Longitudinal growth results from multifactorial and complex processes that take place in the broader context of different genetic traits and environmental influences (Neylon, 2012). Overgrowth syndromes comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders that lead to excessive tissue proliferation, which is characterized by a phenotype of excessive somatic and visceral growth. A myriad of syndromes are characterized by substantial localized or asymmetric tissue overgrowth,…

tissue has passed many quality control tests before it is provided to your doctor. Ask your doctor if you are concerned about the risks involved with using a human tissue Mechanism of action • Reduces Inflammation • Minimizes scarring • Decreases Angiogenesis • Cryopreserved Amniotic membrane ensures the active ECM components responsible for regenerative healing are preserved and not dehydrated…

There are 8 types of respiratory cancers: Lung cancer, Oral cancer, Mouth cancer, Tongue cancer, Pharynx cancer, Larynx cancer, Throat cancer, and Bronchial cancer. Lung cancer, also known as carcinoma of the lung or pulmonary carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung by process of metastasis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. (Wikipedia, 26 September 2015) Common…

Cosmetic tanning has become the safe option for people seeking a suntan. Professional spray tan applications are available from spas and salons by hand-held sprayers and involves spraying the tanning solution over the entire body. This is considered the best option for a safe tan with a professional finish without dangerous side effects. This is often used for one off special occasions and for those clients that wish to have a natural looking tan without damage to the skin. Some people may use…

Since this syndrome encompasses multiple phenotypic characteristics and difficulty in treating/ supervision, it is crucial to have patients be set with a multidisciplinary team, that consists of nurses, radiologist, pathologist, audiologist, otolaryngologist, geneticist, ophthalmologist, neurologist, and lastly a neurosurgeon (1). The ideal way to manage these patients through early detection, making sure patients/ populations at higher risk are screened, patients are monitored, and determining…

It produces such an effect through preconditioning, superoxide scavenging, lipid peroxidation, autophagy and inhibition of angiogenesis. Due to the benefits brought about by resveratrol with regards to CHD, many researches and studies have been focussed on determining the mechanism of action of the effects of resveratrol and its potential usage as a therapeutic or preventive method…
