In the half-life of barium-137m graph, the results tended to lose activity as time progresses, indicating that barium-137m was undergoing a decay process. Initially, barium-137m had an activity of 4264 CPM (5 seconds in). After approximately five minutes, the activity had dropped to 1092 CPM, and after 10 minutes, the activity had dropped to 318 CPM. The radical changes between 4264 CPM and 1092 CPM compared to the changes from 1092 CPM to 318 CPM indicated exponentially decreasing activity.…

ultraviolet radiation treatment used for severe skin diseases by exposing the skin long wave UVAs. Results of this combination in a previous study conducted saw 10 of 18 patients with marked to repigmentation on the lesion.

Targeted Cancer Therapy Since researchers learn about some of the differences that help cancer cells grow and thrive, it led them to “target” these differences through the development of drugs. Targeted therapy is basically a cancer treatment that uses medical drugs in curing the patient (medical drugs such as: Imatinib (Gleevec), Gefitinib (used in certain lung cancers), and Erlotinib (usually used pancreatic cancer). Clinical trials are performed in order to see whether targeted cancer therapy…

Discussion Dugesia regeneration is happening and the response rate to stimuli can be observed. Planarians have the ability to fully regenerate demonstrating the fascinating study of stem cells and tissue regenerations. The regeneration of the planarian may require the planarian to reshape its form by finding the right proportion to acquire the right shape and size of its body to form a functional, bilaterally symmetrical anatomy. The regeneration period can vary with different species, some…
