The Genetic Effects on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Following the American Psychological Association Guidelines Christina Taylor Baker University October 7, 2015 Pathophysiology: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) contains malignant cells that are lymphoid precursor cells, also known as lymphoblasts. During the early development of these cells, they experience an interruption of their cell development. This is usually due to an abnormal gene expression, mostly caused by chromosomal…

Did you know that there are 100 different types of cancers? Cancer is a disease by which is caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. (Cancer) According to WHO, this is true and any part of the body can be affected by it. In fact there were an exceptional amount of 7.6 million people who have died from cancer and 13% of deaths around the world. (WHO) Cancer is a deadly disease and is one of the leading health concerns for humans, "Dr. Denise McAloose, a…

In 2015, the National Cancer Institute released statistics stating that an estimated number 1,658,370 cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year and that in one third of those cases the patient will die (National Cancer Institute). According to the National Cancer Institute, the leading cause of death in America is heart disease, then a close second is cancer, taking an average number of 585,000 deaths per year (National Cancer Institute). The chances are every individual will, in their…

Ficus carica leaves are reported to have two photoactive furanocoumarins, Psoralen and bergapten (5–methoxypsoralen). Since the content of T–lymphocytes was reliably reduced in patients with vitiligo (the number of T–helpers was decreased and T–suppressors were increased), it is recommended to include immune–modulating drugs in complex therapy. Leaf extract of Ficus carica shows promising immune–stimulant properties (Patil et al., 2010), has comparatively higher levels of psoralens (Zaynoun et…

first stated the process by which cancer can occur based on multitudes of mitotic genes and proteins. One way oncogenic cells are able to form, based off of the original hypothesis, is through transcriptional malfunctions during mitosis. The tumor suppressors that are used in cellular division lose their function due to mutations, and the genes that have the ability to become cancerous due to over expression and/or mutations become more highly functioning. This gain and loss of function results…

The mistreatment of Native Americans is a prevalent issue transcending time in the United States, but is often forgotten. Racism within American society taints Native American culture because it denies a whole ethnicity equality, and stems from the average person choosing to assume rather than understand. It’s also important to note that a lack of understanding the Native American cultural circle causes the weight of the conflicting American philosophies to deteriorate their identity. White…

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 carcinoma progression. One result that could come from this study is that we might be able to screen the patient’s tumors for loss of CADM1 expression to see if they will benefit…

The immune system is known for its primary role in protecting the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections. It consists of organs and cells that play important and very specific roles in order to achieve adequate protection. The main components include: Organs • Bone Marrow Produces all the cells of the immune system through a process called hematopoiesis. • Thymus Produces mature T cells through a process called thymic education. • Spleen Its primary role is to filter the…

Zac O’Neal Dr. Ketzle Writing 2211 On the fiftieth anniversary of the historic civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, President Barack Obama, the first African American president of the United States addressed the crowd around him, giving a speech as much to address the continuing racial inequalities in the United States as to honor the price paid by the marchers so many years ago. In this speech, he offers a hopeful view of the United States. This speech runs in direct contrast with the book…

Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm that is located within the cells of the breast. Normally, cells divide to grow, repair, and replace other cells. This cell division is controlled by DNA within the nucleus of every cell. However, when cells in the body start to grow out of control, cancer begins. A variety of factors, both genetic and environmental, may disrupt growth of regulatory pathways and result in the development of cancer. Major factors taken into consideration for breast cancer…
