Carcinoma

Follicular carcinoma is considered more malignant than papillary carcinoma. Its peak onset is between the ages of 40-60. It occurs more common in females than in males. There is the potential for spread to the lungs, bone, brain, liver and bladder. Medullary thyroid cancer is the third most common…

Without a doubt, it is clear that a dual PET/CT scanner has greater sensitivity and specificity in accurately detecting malignant pulmonary nodules, than CT or PET alone. Gould, Fisher, Yi and Chang at al. confirm this finding through comparative studies that assess the efficacy of each imaging technique. Merging the individual qualities of both a PET and CT scan, allows for the combined advantage of identifying morphological features, anatomic location and metabolic activity of the tumor…

also known as hypopigmentation. There are numerous types of benign and malignant tumors that may be linked to XP with some cases having possible onset before the age five. Sunlight-induced skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and basal cell carcinoma commonly affects…

For instance, squamous cell carcinoma, glandular tissue, lymph tissue, and melanomas are the most common types of cells that made up the mouth and oropharynx. Nine from ten mouth and oropharynx cancers’ patients are affect by the squamous cell carcinoma, a layer of cells that covers the mouth entirely. This type considered dangerous because it forms a malignant tumor. On the other hand, one…

abnormal cells, possibly resulting in a tumor. Cancerous cells are malignant, which means they can invade nearby tissue, and can potentially metastasize and spread to various regions of the body. Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC), a carcinoma cancer that arises in the epithelial tissue of the skin or lining of internal organs, is an autosomal dominant disease that can be inherited from either parent and can develop as early as the teens. HBOC may develop if there are multiple cases…

stratospheric ozone an additional 304,500 cases of skin cancer will occur globally each year (UNEP 1998). The face is one of the highest risk sites for UV exposure (Wang et al. 2014) and cancers of the eyelid, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, account for five to 10 percent of all skin cancers (Cook…

such as diet, lifestyle, certain types of infections, and environmental exposures. In specific, viral infections such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be main source of liver cancer. Major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is identified as continuous infection of hepatitis C virus. Research question for this research proposal is how persistent infection of hepatitis C virus effect…

The effect of NS crude oil pretreatment on tumor volume Analysis of the data on tumor volume showed that a 4-month pretreatment with NS crude oil at the dose of 4 ml/kg/day results in significantly reduced volumes (550.46mm3±48.05; n=7) when compared to the control group (875.46.5mm3±80.17). NS1 tumor volumes (1322.83mm3±128.8; n=7) were significantly larger than the control volumes (Figure 1). There were no significant differences in mean volume of tumor tissue between NS2 and control group.…

3.1. Green photosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Baker’s yeast: One aim of the present study is the development of an improved method for derivatization of metabolites existed in aqueous extract of Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This procedure facilitates identification of metabolites in Baker’s yeast extract and its utility for the synthesis of nanomaterials. The preparation of trimethylsilylenol ethers of metabolites was performed by treatment of the extract…

CDH2 CDH2 gene codes for the protein N-cadherin, also known as Cadherin-2 (CDH2), or neural cadherin (NCAD). Studies on this gene has discovered that it is located on Chromosome 18-NC_000018.10, assembly GRCh38.p2 on humans, and contains 20 exons.(9) N-cadherin is one of the classification of the cadherin superfamily, and is composed of five extracellular cadherin repeats, highly conserved cytoplasmic tail and a transmembrane region. This protein’s purpose is to mediate cell-cell adhesion by…
