Persisting Against Difficulties “Sibling relationships are like Tom and Jerry. They tease each other, knock down each other, irritate each other, but can’t live without each other” (Unknown). Siblings constantly clash, conflict, and combat amongst themselves like frequently warring factions that disagree about irrelevant problems. Rarely, culture promotes, encourages, or displays the important virtues of kindness, persistence, and courage within marvelous siblings. Paige demonstrates kindhearted…

located between the bladder and the penis, and is part of the male reproductive system. The prostate secretes fluids that nourishes and protects the sperm. Additionally, there are three main diseases associated with the prostate, including prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. There are five grades to the prostate cancer, according to the Gleason Score. This determines how aggressive the cancer is. In grade one, the cancer resembles normal and are…

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, the system in the body that is responsible for fighting disease, and is known to be the 6th most common cause of cancer death.1 There are many different types of lymphoma and is classified based on multiple factors such as the pathophysiology of the disease, how the disease metastasizes to other organs and its response to treatment. The two main types of lymphoma are NHL and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s…

Gluck, and how he interacts with patients. It is no easy task, however Dr. Gluck maintains confidence with the knowledge he obtained from years of experience to treat his patients. One particular patient he was treating was for a benign tumor located within the patient’s bladder. As he describes to the patient the diagnosis, I can see the fear and worry by the patients facial expressions, and I am most certain Dr. Gluck can see it too. As he continues to explain to the patient the diagnosis…

Legalization of Cannabis Cannabis is a drug that many people see that will lead an individual down a path that comes with crime and other dangerous drugs like cocaine and heroin. If we could just get past this view of the drug and see it for its good then America could benefit much more than with it being illegal. Cannabis can be used in the medical fields, help the economy, and is much safer than alcohol and cigarettes. Cannabis offers America much more, but with it being illegal the U.S can…

thyroiditis, interferon-alpha therapy, pituitary tumors, and metastatic thyroid cancer” (Crawford & Harris, 2012, p. 46). “Graves disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal stimulation of the thyroid gland, which makes antibodies that bind to the TSH receptor sites in the thyroid. These cause gland hypertrophy and thyroid hormone overproduction, demonstrating thyrotoxicosis.” (Crawford & Harris, 2012, p. 46). Enlarged thyroid tissue or benign tumors on the thyroid is called,…

However it has been shown that some mutations in the PTEN can result in various clinical features such as the PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) and the Autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The syndromes that falls into the PHTS categories includes, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), Cowden syndrome (CS), and PTEN-Related Proteus syndrome (PS). BRRS is a genetic condition…

Women can flick on the TV, look at the news stand, or be flipping through the local newspaper and once again see or hear another article on if having a mammogram at 40 is either good for you or whether you shouldn’t have a mammogram. The controversy of having a mammogram at 40 has raged for over 30 years. I have been in the mammography profession for over 11 years and I have seen that early detection of breast cancer saves lives; therefore it is beneficial for women to start their mammograms…

Senescence is a robust tumor suppressive mechanism that inhibits the proliferation of damaged as well as initiated cells in response to a diverse range of stresses. The observations that human benign cancer precursor lesions are comprised of senescent cells further provide evidence that senescence is a physiological mechanism that prevents cancer progression in humans, possibly at an early stage. Senescence is clearly not fail-safe, since cells in pre-cursor lesions occasionally progress towards…
