Understanding Prostate Cancer The prostate is an important part in men’s health. Majority of men who develop some degree of poor urine flow have this small walnut shaped gland to blame. Naturally the prostate gland increases in size with age. This swelling is called benign prostate hypertrophy or BPH. This swelling is non-cancerous and when troublesome, it can be removed through an open abdominal surgery or through the urethra in an operation called trans-urethral resection of the prostate –…

Osteomyelitis Anoimalo S. Matagi Alaska Career College Abstract Osteomyelitis affects about two out of every 10,000 people (Cleveland Clinic, 2016). A possible reason as to why two of 10,000 people are affected is their lack of understanding to how to treat and prevent osteomyelitis. For example, those who are not aware of how osteomyelitis and how it effects the bone, as many organisms (most commonly staphylococcus) travel through the blood stream and can cause a bone…

Patient no-shows are detrimental to health care facilities. This paper will not only address the issue of patient no-shows, but analyze determining factors and present a solution. For the purpose of our study, a no-show is referred to as a patient who does not show up to their scheduled examination or who calls within fifteen minutes prior to their examination time to reschedule. By calling just fifteen minutes prior or less, that does not leave any chance for the examination slot to be filled…

Furthermore, one tenth of Cerebral Palsy patients have vision problems and one fifth of people with Cerebral Palsy suffer from saliva loss, caused by drooling (Birth Injury Guide). One fifth of people with Cerebral Palsy suffer from hearing loss and one in every fifty are completely deaf. One fifth of Cerebral Palsy patients suffer from sleeping disorders, due to pain and spasticity, which can cause a person to stay awake (Birth Injury Guide). Visual problem can prevent them from sleeping. They…

tumor could weaken the bone, and that could lead to the breaking of the bone. (emedicinehealth.com) There are actually many ways to diagnose bone cancer these ways include blood tests, bone scan, computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scan, integrated PET-CT scan, biopsy, and x- rays.(cancer.net) The doctor will not use every one of these methods on every person, there is a few factors that go into consideration when…

Audiology is the study of hearing and sometimes various diseases and conditions can affect the normal balance and process of one’s hearing. In this paper we will address one of the major causes of hearing deficits known as Menere’s disease. This paper will also demonstrate the procedure this writer performed during a class activity assignment and its results. At the end one can see pictures of the turning fork equipment and how the procedures was administered. According to the (National…

The detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is based on these two images because according to an article called, “Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Pancreas”, the author stated that, “Detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is based on unenhanced T1W (fat-suppressed) images and…

and fluency was impaired for all of the patients. The goal of this assessment was to distinguish between the different brain diseases. The clinical standard tests that were administered were radiological function imaging tests such as, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and single positron emission tomography (SPECT). Other tests that the patients participated in were semantic memory tests and neuropsychological tests. The five…
