Chronic Illness Paper The topic for my chronic illness paper is thyroid cancer. I chose this particular illness because it has affected a few people in my immediate family and I wanted to get a better understanding of this chronic illness. Thyroid cancer, as described by The American Cancer Society, is when cancer starts in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is below the thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple) in the front part of the neck. In most people, the thyroid cannot be seen or felt. It is…

How Uranium affects TP53 Do we know how Uranium affects TP53 to affect our bodies? Uranium is a dense radioactive metal, that is used as fuel in nuclear reactors. Uranium has several isotopes, and the most important of these, are radioactive and presented in nature. This radioactive substance affects our bodies in many contrasting ways. Examples are, our organs, DNA, our tissue, bones, and TP53 gene. In this paper, we will focus most on how Uranium affects TP53 to affect our body. The official…

school to get a bachelor degree, 4 years college education, 2 years of Pre-pharmacy and one year of internship. And also they have to pass a NAPLEX test. And that why pharmacist paid more salary than pharmacy technician. Nuclear Medicine is was a radiation spontaneously medicine used to diagnose and treat disease. It technologist is a highly specialized health care professional who…

to this question, it must be broken down. What are photons? How does gravity affect light? What is a black hole? A photon is typically seen as a particle or wave representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass. Photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics. However, it is important to know that photons have both the qualities of waves and particles which is known as…

responsible for a lot of deaths in children and adults. Indeed, even with advances in surgery, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy, numerous patients determined to have a threatening cerebrum tumor survive just months to weeks. Cerebrum tumors in the US, and, at present, normal survival is around 14 months for patients bearing the most harmful gliomas and treated with the standard treatment of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Quality treatment incorporates the transport of characteristics…

and no one really knows what to do then the survival mode kicks in and saves them. Some have it and others do not. As the book goes on they are running on hope, hope that they will live to see another day and the hope that they will not die from radiation poisoning. Pat Frank explores three types of hope; never giving up, no hope, and the biggest heart. That is where Doctor Dan Gunn comes into play. He helps as many people as possible at the best of his abilities. On the other hand, the banker…

Light is an electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by humans. Electromagnetic radiation happens in an extremely large range of wavelengths from gamma rays to radio waves. Within that spectrum the wavelengths visible to humans are few. Light is very difficult to define, in the sense that scientist have been arguing weather light is a particle or a wave. Many experiments have been done to proof weather light is a particle or a wave. The truth is that light sometimes acts as a wave and…

strategies implemented to try to slow the progress of the disease as much as possible. This may include hormone therapy to lower testosterone levels (the male hormone testosterone provides the cancer with the means to thrive), chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Early detection of prostate cancer is often a key factor in the prostate cancer treatment options an individual may have open to him, as well as the chance for survival or cure. One of the problems in detection of the disease is that…

PET is a nuclear medicine, working imaging ability that creates a three-dimensional image of functional processes within the human body. [1] First, chemicals which emits gamma radiation are injected into the human body, then; the system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a tracer to show images of bones and organs. These substances are injected into the body, and are usually tagged with a radioactive atom.[1] Doctors use this device to create images of bones and organs of the…

The polar bear is part of the Ursidae family and it’s scientific name is, Ursus Maritimus. It’s physical characteristics are that it is white, six to nine feet and 800 to 1,300 pounds. It feeds upon seals and fish for nutrients. The polar bear population is decreasing drastically because of global warming and is at an all time low of about 22,000. Even though they live most of their lives in the water, their home is on the ice nursing and taking care of their cubs. They were marked as threatened…
