In my case, she was a thirty-year-old woman named Svitlana who had recently immigrated from Ukraine to the United States.

Chemotherapy is toxic and through some understanding, appears to affect the gastrointestinal tract to excrete fluid and electrolytes at an alarming rate. Physically, the patient undergoes volume…

influential role in science, Marie Curie did just that. Born Marie Sklodowska in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, Marie is best known for discovering the elements radium and polonium, and her study of radioactivity, which led to advances in the treatment of cancer and the development of nuclear power; both of which are still used today.

Following the milestone of the Human Genome Project (HGP) era, researchers are now focusing on integrating the rich genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, and identified gene signatures within the in vitro, in vivo and clinical frameworks to further our understanding of the…
