Waist circumference is a subject more commonly discussed in female health context, but research during the last years has made it clear that it is an equally meaningful metric to evaluate male health. It is well-known that excessively large waists generally mean poor health management, an unhealthy lifestyle, or unfortunate genetics, which predispose men (and women) to a number of diseases and lower life expectancy. This is valid for both genders. In matters of health, there's no reason why…

Diffuse Optical Tomography is non invasive, non ionizing functional imaging modality used for detection of brain tumor and breast cancer. A forward model design depicts the placement of laser source and photo-detector around the tissue boundary. The light propagation on the phantom takes place in Near-Infra-Red wavelength. The incident light on the tissue boundary was absorbed and scattered. The scattered rays are detected by the photo-detector and scattered voltage of the tissue was measured.…

Cancer: the disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. Cancer can affect any part of the body. Organs, bones, and muscles alike can be affected by cancer. Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate while prostate cancer has the highest survival rate. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a rare form of cancer that affects a part of the immune system called the lymphatic system. On average there are less than 200,000 cases a year in America. As the cancer progresses…

Squamous cell carcinomas of the lungs, head and neck, esophagus, and cervix account for over 400,000 deaths per year. Finding a way to effectively treat this type of cancer is very important for the well being of people. In this primary research article, the authors attempt to find a mechanism by which squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion are inhibited. They use the cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which is a tumor suppressor, to show that it is possible to prevent squamous cell…

Approximately 1.1% of people will be diagnosed with thyroid cancer at some point during their lifetime. All cancer starts when there is an uncontrolled amount of cell growth in the body and thyroid cancer is no different. Thyroid cancer is within the thyroid gland, in front of the neck just below the voice box. The thyroid gland absorbs iodine from the bloodstream and produces thyroid hormones which regulate your metabolism. Thyroid cancer has various causes and risk factors. Testing shows women…

Less than total thyroidectomy (lobectomy, partial or subtotal thyroidectomy) is used mainly to treat thyroid nodules, and/or hyperthyroidism. Lately, there is a trend towards less extensive thyroid surgery even in cases of thyroid cancer. Complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and postoperative hypocalcemia have led the surgeons toward less extensive surgical practice, especially in cases of benign thyroid disease. The main indications for surgical treatment of thyroid nodules…

Introuction&definition Testicular cancer Testicular cancer is Cancer in the male organs that make male hormones and sperm (testicles). Most testicular cancers start in cells that make sperm. These cells are called germ cells. The two main types of testicular germ cell cancers are seminomas and nonseminomas. Seminomas grow and spread slowly and respond to radiation therapy. Nonseminomas grow and spread more quickly than seminomas. Testicular cancer affects the testicles and it can spread…

Biomaterials can be described as substances which can be introduced into the body as part of a medical device or replacement for an organ or bodily function. This literature review is based on a study of silicone breast implants and the associated risks. Breast implants have been used for more than 30 years for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery as they have a high biological tolerance. They consist of an outer envelope made up of silicone elastomer, a highly cross-linked silicone which is…

Ryan Skinner 4/25/17 Dr. Doty Thyroid Cancer Thyroid cancer is, unsurprisingly, cancer of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located at the base of your neck and has a butterfly-like shape. There are countless variations of thyroid cancer, but the most major forms include papillary thyroid cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, anaplastic thyroid cancer, thyroid lymphoma. Fortunately, thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon worldwide and is highly treatable. In the…
