Androgenic Alopecia – Basic Cause of Hair Loss Androgenic Alopecia is commonly referred as Male Pattern Baldness in men and Female Pattern Baldness in women. It is the most prevalent cause of hair loss in both men and women but the pattern of hair loss differs in both the sexes. Men usually experience baldness from above the head temples, creating an M-shaped hairline. Hair starts thinning from the centre, leading to partial and sometimes complete baldness. While in women, hairline rarely…

are at fault in the way in which they are using the sun. Those who spend too much time outside may develop skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer; about 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Another 73,000 cases are caused by melanoma, a more dangerous but less common type of skin cancer. Basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma cancers tend to be found on parts of the body over exposed to the sun (“Sun and UV Exposure”). Our body’s main…

cells or colon cancer, screening colonoscopies should be performed at least every three years. Family members over 50 who have not had a colonoscopy within the past five years should ask about having one ordered. Since the 24-year-old daughter has family members on both sides of her family with a history colon cancer, she has a greater risk for colon cancer and should consider an early screening colonoscopy. To obtain more information about a genetic contribution to the family’s cancer,…

more and more crucial in determining and treating cancer Farzana L. Walcott and her co-researchers sated PPACA that was established to assist people who do not have insurance with their health care. PPACA possess plans for genetic testing for the Breast Cancer Susceptibility gene, and for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer in women. PPACA, however has some drawbacks because PPACA does not have plan for “1) high- risk men, 2) other inheritable cancer syndromes, and 3) individuals with a…

“You have cancer.” These are the words that struck open the 2001 HBO adaptation of Margaret Edson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play about death and dying entitled, Wit. In this play, Margaret Edson powerfully exemplified what makes life worth living through the character’s exploration of one of the most unifying experiences in human race—mortality, while she also examines the vital importance of human relationships (Larson, 2015). Many medical flicks presented how the health care providers…

suggest that consuming kaempferol may reduce the risk of various cancers, and it is currently under consideration as a possible cancer treatment. Epidemiological studies have revealed Kaempferol as a natural polyphenol belonging to the group of flavonoids. Epidemiological studies have found a positive association between the consumption of foods containing Kaempferol and a reduced risk of developing several disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Insilico anticancer study of…

Docetaxel, also known as toxetere, is used as an anti- cancer chemotherapy drug. It is used to treat cases of breast, lung, prostate, head, and neck cancer. Docetaxel is administered through IV. The amount of docetaxel patients receive depends on a lot of factors. Factors such as height, weight, the type of cancer being treated, and how far along the cancer has developed factors into how much medicine the patients receive. Use of docetaxel can result in low white and red blood cell counts. This…

Topic: Molecular mechanism of dietary restriction in ageing Title: Dietary restriction and mTOR signalling pathway in lifespan extension Dietary restriction (DR), which is reduced intake of all dietary constituents except vitamins and minerals, was first shown to extend the lifespan of rats 80 years ago (McCay, 1930). Since then, many studies have proven that DR can extend longevity on wide range of taxa (Fontana et al., 2010). In addition, research done on animal models reveals that there…

“How Not to Die” by Dr. Michael Greger [Amazon link], I became convinced that becoming a vegan is the way to better health and vitality. In his book, Dr. Greger discusses the many reasons why a plant-based diet is the path to avoiding diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Although it took an extraordinarily long 500-page book to make his point, the fact is that Dr. Greger did such a good job of putting the scientific facts in a convincing way that I’ve decided to change my diet once and for…
