Sarcoma

First, there are carcinomas, which are cancers that arise in layers of cells covering the body. Melanomas, another form, originate in the skin pigment cells. Cancer found in supporting tissues of the body are known as Sarcomas. Gliomas, cancer of the nerve tissue, is another type of cancer. These cancers all originate in a single place but can easily spread to another part of the body (Sullivan). The types of cancers that can affect the body come in many different forms…

Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP). By 1982 it had gained many other names, ‘GRID’ ( gay-related immune deficiency),’ gay cancer’, ‘community-acquired immune dysfunction’, and ‘gay compromise syndrome’. by the month of June in 1982, 355 cases of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and/ or other serious infections in young people that were once…

Cannabis Sativa: Biological Effects on the Human Body and Carcinoma Cannabis has been around for centuries the earliest written record of it was in 2727 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung from China. In 1545 cannabis spread to the western hemisphere by Spaniards where it was imported and used as fiber by Chile.

the lessons learned from the medley of failures and successes blend to create the ink in which I paint my Mona Lisa. My first adverse situation presented itself in the form of illness. At the age of eight, my sister was tackled by Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Initially, she was given only a 20% chance of survival with no promise of tomorrow. Therefore, I strive to live every day with the mentality it could be my last. Despite my young age, I was acutely aware of the agony my…

Introduction Primary renal tumors account for approximately 2% of all canine cancers.11 Tissues of origin include the renal epithelium, renal mesenchyme or embryonal tissue of mixed origin.1 Roughly 10% of primary renal tumors originate from embryonal pluripotential blastema, which include Wilms’ tumor, nephroblastoma, and embryonal nephroma.11 The majority of diagnosed renal tumors occur in older dogs; however, nephroblastoma is unique in that it is seen in juveniles. The mean age for…

The loss of its function initiates the formation of tumors, which has been shown in patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (Feng et al, 2017). About 50% of these patients develop different kinds of cancers like breast cancer, sarcoma, and brain cancer at age 30 (Bennett et al, 1994). Three processes involves the activation of p53 in response to stress signal; sequence-specific DNA binding, stabilization of p53, and transcriptional activation of target gene (Lowe and Zilfou. 2009)…

In a world where HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are widely accepted in today’s society, due largely in part to the modern advances in medical treatments, many people fail to realize the long lasting effects of those diseases. Not only do many people have trouble realizing the effects of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) but they fail to realize that it will eventually cause AIDS without the proper level of care. The level of health care a person who has contracted Acquired Immune…

At Herman vet clinic we learned several thing about ow to handle and care for cattle. Blood draws, handling, castration, injections and identification of cattle are all different from that of small animal. Hen I I rats began this class, I figured large animal would be about the same as small animals, but certainly that cattle an horses were handled the same at least. What I have learned however is that each animal is very different from the next with each presenting with their own complications.…

TCDD, a toxic by-product of the herbicide, is a well-known teratogen, meaning that it can disrupt the normal functioning of embryos and fetuses in both animals and humans. In humans it is mainly a carcinogen, known to cause soft tissue sarcoma, a very rare type of cancer. According to Agent Orange Contamination (2008), TCDD is “so potent a killer that just three ounces of it placed in New York City's water supply could wipe out the populace” (p. 20). An acute study, published in the Journal…
