Brain cancer, or rather brain tumors, are not all the same. There are four separate classifications for identifying brain tumors. The first is Grade 1, which means the brain has harmless cancer cells, which grow slowly but are not affecting the brain abnormally. The second is Grade 2, which is more dangerous than Grade 1, but only slightly so.

CAH is a genetic disorder that affects the general health, growth, and development of the body.

Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia or NCAH is a disorder that affects both men and women from late childhood through the rest of their lives. Compared to its sister form, classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia, it is non-life threatening. The Mayo Clinic, a service that gives people medical information and helps set up doctor appointments, defines NCAH as “a collection of genetic conditions that limit your adrenal glands' ability to make certain vital hormones.” These vital hormones…

In the genitourinary clinical case study, a 60-year-old Hispanic male presented to the hospital with symptoms of enlarged prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This paper will analyze and create a comprehensive care plan for an acute and chronic care of BPH, as well as prevention and health promotion education for the patient regarding the disease process. I will refer the patient in the genitourinary clinical case study as Mr. A throughout this paper. BPH is a common concern affecting…

indazole-3-carboxylic acid. [4] When originally discovered, Lonidamine was used as an infertility drug. [4] Through later research, Lonidamine was seen to have desirable effects on cancer cells. Lonidamine was then used as a drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the enlargement of the prostate gland in males. This causes symptoms like discomfort, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. [1] This can be caused by prostate cancer. Lonidamine inhibits the…
