Carcinoma

The Healthy People 2020 initiative has made it possible for our society to have a longer, better quality of life through access to healthcare services. The obstacles our society had to face to attain this have been the inability to gain proper access into the healthcare system, the lack of insurance coverage, and the overall prevention of the disease. These obstacles have affected certain ethnic backgrounds, races, and education. The low-income persons are usually those who lack the necessary…

researchers and doctors have already found ways to treat different types of cancer, but not all of them. Cancer is basically when the cells in your body start to grow out of control. As I mentioned before there are many different kinds of cancer such as Carcinoma cancer that begins on the skin or in tissues that line and cover internal organs. There’s Sarcoma that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that…

anticancer molecules , and curcumin is one such class of compounds which has been extensively studied over the past few decades. These studies revealed that curcumin shows anticancer activity against prostate cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal carcinoma, leukemia and human breast cancer cells. In spite of huge medicinal potential, clinical use of curcumin has been hampered due to its poor solubility, bioavailability and absorption as well as rapid metabolism. - The pharmacokinetic…

mastectomies with immediate implant reconstruction. This part of the paper will discuss the pros and cons of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) and contributing factors to increased rate of prophylactic contralateral mastectomy. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive breast cancer, where proliferations of malignant ductal epithelial cells remain confined within intact breast ducts.1 It is a precursor lesion that has the potential to transform into an invasive cancer over…

Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of the liver. The term hepatitis is most often used in conjunction with viral hepatitis, but the disease can also be caused by bacteria or toxic injury to the liver. It should be noted that whether hepatitis is bacterial, viral, or toxic, this disease can result in post necrotic cirrhosis, unless the hepatitis responds to treatment. Viral hepatitis is by far the most important liver infection and is a major health problem in the United States. The term viral…

In the shadow of the fallen towers, there was more than just rubble and the terror. There were countless chemicals in the air, some good, some bad, and some deadly. Asbestos was among the deadly chemicals. Throughout history and throughout the world, it has been used to meet the need of materials to act as insulators, and much more. It is resistant to heat and corrosive materials, as well as being a very good nonconductor of electricity. Its hollow fibers are what make it a good insulator…

“Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.” This quote by Jim Ramstad is about the benefits of Embryonic Stem Cell Research. “Stem cells provide an opportunity to investigate the mechanisms that regulate embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and organ maintenance” (Ramalho-Santos and Willenbring 35-38). Embryonic stem cell research has been around for many years. It has proven to be very beneficial to the medical world,…

I found that hS100A7 and its analogs are highly up-regulated in psoriatic keratinocytes, and there is evidence of hS100A7 being up-regulated in some invasive carcinomas but further studies are needed before a definite conclusion can be made. I conducted the purification of the protein under the guidance of Dr. Raquel Ruiz and involved expression tests at different concentrations of the inducing agent IPTG, large-scale…

cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms” (Edge & Compton, 2010). Staging of cancer materializes in distinct stages. The first stage is stage 0 where there is the existence of abnormal cells which have not spread. It is also referred to as a carcinoma or in situ. At this phase, it is not cancer. Stage 1 is localized cancer, and if it spreads, it develops into stage 2. Here, the cancerous…

I could relate several instances in mine or a loved one’s life to the handout Strain Theory by Robert Agnew. This reading brought several different events I have experienced or have watched a loved one go through. These things are not criminal in nature, well the first one would be, but they could be considered as deviant by some. I will relate my memories for each Strain that is mentioned in the reading. Objective Strains made me reminder an incident in high school when I and a female friend…
