discovery where the DNA sequences of HPV 18 were detected in cell lines derived from cervical cancer. The objectives of the investigation that took place in the article “Structure and transcription of human papillomavirus sequences in cervical carcinoma cells” was to analyze the cell lines HeLa, C4-1, and 756, for the structural organization and transcription of the HPV 18 genome. The methods that were used in this investigation was to first isolate RNA and subject it to Northern blot…

Breast ultrasound is an extremely popular imaging modality that goes hand-in-hand with additional exams for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Imaging today is more sensitive and effective at detecting masses than in the decades before, and has proven to be a reliable and safe method of evaluating breast tissue. Breast Ultrasound of the Past and Present In 1951, Wild and Neal used a 15 MHZ transducer to record and describe the acoustic impedance signatures of malignant, benign, and normal breast…

for my Bachelor of Medicine in China. I got to know people from other parts of the country who did not get the same healthcare that I received living in the capital area. The first death I witnessed was a patient who had primary hepatocellular carcinoma induced by chronic Hepatitis B infection. That patient was from a rural area with no perinatal transmission prevention program. Later on, due to improper monitoring and medication, the patient’s health declined rapidly. Yet this patient…

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second major cause of cancer death worldwide. Early detection of gastric cancer by endoscopic surveillance is actively investigated to improve patient survival, particularly utilizing the newly developed magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy in the stomach. However, reviewing the endoscopic data is time consuming and obliges intense labor of profoundly experienced doctors.\\ In this work, we have proposed a method for detecting ulcer…

the RNs and they are given a post orientation assessment (Brindise). A survey was done on critical care nurses and it stated thirty percent of nurses just starting out quit within the first two years. These types of nurse’s deal with it all like carcinoma for instance.
