Five-year survival rate

Cancer is an abnormal growth of tissues in the body. The cancer cells proliferate at a rate higher than the normal rate of cell division of the normal body cells. This results in the cancerous tissues being larger than the surrounding normal tissues. The tissues therefore competes with the normal tissues for blood supply of oxygen and nutrients, therefore depriving them these essential elements. For this research, I will talk about the Prostatic carcinoma. The prostate gland is a pear shaped…

agricultural chemicals” (Minnesota DNR). Other contributing factors leading to the species’ decline include, drought, severe winters, acidified ecosystems and disease. The life expectancy of the Blanchard’s cricket frog is only four months, with only five percent of the population surviving the winter, so it is precedent that significant efforts are made to reduce overall habitat loss. In many cases, complete population turnover can occur in 16 months. The Blanchard's cricket frog, although in…

What is premature birth? Premature birth is the definition of a baby being born before 37 weeks of being pregnant. There are many different levels of prematurity and many different risks. I will begin to name almost all the levels of prematurity. A baby being born very premature which is being born before 26 weeks of being pregnant is called a Micro Preemie.

control, not the reverse. Perhaps it’s as simple as being unable to truly comprehend the very long time over which nature takes to work its magic i.e. truly appreciating the fact that the universe itself is some 13 and ½ billion years old. In over the two and a half million years that we’ve been around (geologic and evolutionary time are very slow moving forces) a lot can happen to alter the original model. Yet, there may be instances when change can be brought about more quickly, which seems to…

believe that when we say something is right or wrong, we are using our powers of reason alone. But Greene argues that our emotions also play a powerful role in our moral judgments, triggering instinctive responses that are the product of millions of years of evolution.” As science and technology have progressed, so has the understanding of evolution and progression of species. However, many people rarely consider the evolution that humans have undergone and continue to go through. Carl Zimmer…

Kozol highlights a troubling lack of student safety as well, using the example of an eleven year old student who was lured to the rear of the school (on the promise of twenty-five cents) by an acquaintance of her mother’s, then raped and murdered on school…

the body’s normal control mechanism stops working and old cells do not die and cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells and the extra cells may form a mass of tissue which is tumors some cancers as leukemia do not form tumors. There are five main categories One is carcinomas begins in the skin or tissue that line the internal organs, the second one sarcomas develops in the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, or the connective tissues the…

kidney disease with over 400,000 US cases per year, Usually an adult-onset disease, ADPKD occurs in individuals and families of different races equally, all over the world. ADPKD causes numerous fluid filled cysts to form in both of the kidneys. As it progresses, the cysts slowly replace most of the normal mass of the kidneys. When this occurs, the cysts often reduce kidney function, which can lead to failure. In most cases, ADPKD takes several years before it causes the kidneys to fail. When…
