November 2008 to December 2015 statistics shows that 3,952 patients were diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer. 19 of these patients were able to be diagnosed due to Radiological screening and medical records of their characteristics of the tumors within the lymph nodes and Brain Metastasis. A Karnofsky Performance Scale is an evaluation tool for functional impairments which is used to estimate the patient’s condition of the disease and which type of therapy is best to be used. The performance sale…

The MMR or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination is one of the most controversial vaccines to date. Even though the advantages of being vaccinated with this vaccine extremely outweigh any problems, many still question whether the vaccine is beneficial for themselves, and their children. Originally measles, mumps and rubella were all treated with separate vaccines. However, in the 1980’s the vaccine was combined into a three-in-one shot (MClean 6). The producer for this spectrum of vaccines,…

Alzheimer’s disease has also shown to be inherited through a more complex pattern rather than a single gene mutation. For example, the gene ‘apolipoprotein E’ (which is found in chromosome 19) transports lipoproteins, vitamins and cholesterol into the lymph system and consequently into the blood. This gene has three alleles (APOE e2, APOE e3 and APOE e4), and we each have two copies of the gene (one from each parent due to the fusion of the sperm and egg which each contain one of each…

know what to expect for the remainder of their pets life. A technician will need to be able to explain all of this to an owner in a way that makes sense. There are many different types of cancer a pet many have, ranging from a mast cell tumor to lymph node cancer, and it is important for a veterinary technician to be able to explain to an owner what their pet’s diagnosis mean. Each cancer will need a different type of treatment so it…

bronchiole due to destruction of ciliated epithelium, elastic and muscular tissue. The destructive process may be initiated by primary microbial infection (necrotizing pneumonia, tuberculosis, aspergillosis, etc.) or obstruction (foreign body, tumour, lymph node, etc.) resulting in stasis and secondary infection. It is classified under obstructive lung disease. This disease cannot be cured but it can be controlled with the help of proper treatment and further complications can…

booster doses at 18 months and 4-5 years. Diphtheria Diagnosis & Treatment: The doctor will conduct a physical examination and check your mouth for grey or a black coating, which is a classic symptom of Diphtheria. He will also look for enlarged lymph glands and swelling of the neck and the larynx. Common lab tests for confirming the disgnosis include: - Gram stain or throat culture to identify the bacteria - Toxin assay to detect the presence of toxins - Electrocardiogram If Diphtheria is…

metastatic disease was diagnosed in 17% of cases by diagnostic laparoscopy in another study by Mahadevan et al (9). However, diagnostic laparoscopy is not without limitations. T1 and T2 patients are difficult to be assessed by laparoscopy. Also, the lymph node status assessment did not show significant difference when we compare laparoscopy with CT scan (15). In conclusion, the use of diagnostic laparoscopy in patients with gastric cancer is a simple…

The use of Antidepressant has greatly expanded in the previous years, one research shows that 1 out of 10 US adolescents and adults use these treatment. Percentage of the use of antidepressant may be even bigger among patients who goes through cosmetic plastic surgery, or patients with breast cancer undergoing breast restoration. While plastic surgeons are attentive for the use of treatment that has the potential to a heightened complications, such as blood thinners, they are naturally not…

RT AND TLR AGONISTS TLR agonists can be used in combination with RT to enhance the antitumor immune response. This combination therapy was more efficient than either treatment alone and provided protection against subsequent tumor rechallenges. Brody et al treated 15 patients with metastatic low-grade B cell lymphomas with low doses of radiation (2 x 2 Gy in 2 consecutive days). They combined the RT with intratumoral injections of CpG, into the same irradiated site, before the first dose of…

Recent study reveals cat-scratch disease is rising among adults Say goodbye to regular cuddle sessions with your beloved kitty, because their claws could harm you. According to a recent study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there has been an increase in cat-scratch disease (CSD) patients. The study revealed that 13,273 people were diagnosed with CSD during 2005-2013, and 538 of the diagnosed patients were later hospitalized. CSD is a bartonella bacterial infection…
