Human epidermal receptor 2 positive (HER2+) Breast-Cancer (Bc) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of Breast-Cancers that is found in approximately 20% of them (1,4). HER2+BC remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women all over the world as once the advanced or metastatic HER2+BC is developed, no treatment can stop the progression. The combination of Trastuzumab; a monoclonal antibody that blocks HER2 receptors, and Docetaxel; a cytotoxic agent, has been approved for use as…

the fuel rods fulfilled its purpose and cannot be used anymore. Consequently, they have to be disposed of. However, that’s the problem. Fuel rods only are deprived of small amounts of uranium and still are highly radioactive//toxicity at this point. Their radioactivity/toxicity will subside in a very lengthy amount of time and until that time, they must be stored securely. Currently, the United States doesn’t have a permitted location to do so. In substitution, the nuclear power plants are…

A bat wing on a x-ray refers to a pattern that shows bilateral perihilar shadowing or consolidation. This happens when pulmonary pressures are high normally and these shadows can be caused by pulmonary edema, pneumonia, inhalation injury or leukemia (Bell,2017). Kerley B lines on an X-ray are a horizontal line that is less than two centimeters long, normally are seen in the lower periphery and are parallel to other ones at the right angles of the pleura. Most frequently they are seen from the PA…

different from each other so the experiments probably won't have the same effect. Animal testing is horrible it’s cruel and inhumane. First of all, testing unknown chemicals on animals could kill them. According to navs.org scientests are doing toxicity tests to estimate the safety of products and chemicals. Manufacturers and/or scientists are putting unknown drugs, chemicals, etc in animals so they can make sure their products are safe. In other words people are making animals take injections…

No reports of health effects or injury were reported. However, FDA warned that the toothpaste containing Diethylene Glycol “had a low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury to children and adults with kidney or liver disease”.

Anticancer chemotherapy: The aim of drug treatment in patients with cancer is to reduce the presence of malignant cells. This may be achieved by causing a lethal cytotoxic event in the cancer cell that will arrest tumour progression. Targets for cytotoxic attack include inhibition of purine and pyrimidine synthesis, inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis and chemical attack on the integrity of the structure of cellular DNA. Since these treatments reduce the mechanisms of cell proliferation in…

glyphosate. he herbicide tolerance is achieved by engineering the corn to produce CP4 EPSPS enzymes(an enzyme which results in tolerance to glyphosate). Roundup Ready corn is determined to be safe for human consumption in various studies, as there is no toxicity, unwanted allergic reaction or loss of nutrition associated with Roundup Ready corn(José L. Domingo, 2007). Consequently, Roundup Ready corn is as safe and nutritious as the existing commercial corn hybrids (Hmannond et al, 2004). Bt…

Oceans are the largest water bodies on earth. Over the past few decades extensive human activities have affected these oceans in a very disastrous manner. Marine pollution also known as Ocean pollution, is the introduction of harmful substances such as waste from industries, effluents, sewage, oil , agricultural waste etc into the ocean (Derraik,2002). The oceans are a known home to a large variety of flora and fauna. The pollution has started affecting the marine habitat adversely. Marine…

The lifesaving drug do not work as well as they once did”. Our body gets used to it and the surviving bacteria evolve and pass down their genes generation to generation. “treating common infections becomes more difficult”. Right now the season is winter, and this is when we are most prone to biotic infections. Antibiotics “can cause more harm than good”. It risks us getting antibiotic-resistant in the future. In an article “pencrtration of brain abscess by systemically administered antibiotics”…
