Title: Reflective writing of the advances of treatment of cancer. Cancer is a disease arises mainly from mutation in certain sequences of a gene. Cases of cancers are reported from all parts of the world, accounting roughly about 13% of death each year. In Hong Kong alone it is accounted for almost 30% of death and it is still increasing. Cancer can be a fast developing disease, it is also extremely fatal if not diagnosed in time and not treated properly.
Yet the benefits outweigh the risks by far because if the procedure is done correctly all the cancerous cells in that isolated area will be eliminated entirely. Keywords: Targeted Chemotherapy, molecular targeting, isolated infusion, Cisplatin, angiogenesis, alkylating antineoplastic agent Chemotherapy is the therapeutic use of chemical compounds for the treatment of cancerous diseases. Normally chemotherapeutic drugs are given intravenously in low dosages over large periods of time, this is called an antineoplastic drug regimen. Antineoplastic drug regiments do work to terminate the quickly dividing tumorous cells, but unfortunately this method also kills normal, healthy cells found in the many soft tissues in the human body and can cause significant damage to healthy organ systems. Instead medical researchers have developed targeted chemotherapy to better treat cancer without damaging healthy sections of the body.
But for the patient who becomes critically ill during surgery, being in a facility with an ICU and extensive resources for the very sick patient can make a tremendous difference in the outcome. Here are some of the risk factor that included with cosmetic surgeries: * Poor Cosmetic Outcome: This may be the greatest fear of a plastic surgery patient: a result that not only fails to improve appearance, but actually makes one's appearance worse than before the surgery. * Scarring: One of the greatest risks to achieving an attractive outcome, scarring is not always predictable, but can be controlled in most cases. (Lickstein, 2013) Patients can decrease the risk of scarring by not smoking and following
This is not the case anymore. Today, after finding complications with this antibiotic, some which are life threatening, the uses have greatly narrowed. Currently, within the United States, Chloramphenicol is used only for more serious infections in which other medicines have not been successful. Chloramphenicol is used as alternate therapy for treating more serious infection such as Typhoid Fever and some types of Meningitis. Chloramphenicol is also extremely useful for treating infections of the eyes.
But this is not the case once cancer will starts. The cells become abnormal and the old, damaged cells survive and continue to divide that may form into tumors. Many of the cancers form into solid tumors except for cancers of the blood. Cancerous tumors may be malignant, which can affect the surrounding tissues. Other cancer cells can metastasize on different parts of the body through blood and can form a new tumor.
Throughout the centuries, many patients of this deadly disease died without being cured at very young age. However, due to advanced medical treatment in this era, the lifespan of many patients with cystic fibrosis were prolonged and some of them were cured. This paper aims to study the genetic basic of cystic fibrosis, its incidence and its effects on human, in order to have a better understanding on this deadly disease. Thus, it is undeniable that cystic fibrosis is an inherited life-threatening genetic disorder that has high incidence in large Caucasian population countries and detrimental effects on human body systems, however it can protect human being from certain diseases due to selective advantage. Mutation is the main cause of cystic fibrosis.
In cancer, this orderly process goes wrong and cells begin to grow and multiply uncontrollably. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms but usually shows as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue (although most breast lumps are not cancerous). If cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be treated before it spreads to nearby parts of the
MEDICATION IN SOCIAL CARE SETTINGS Today’s medicines are powerful compounds that control disease, ease discomfort and prolong life for millions of people and are generally beneficial. Unfortunately no medicine is without side effects and some are worse than others. Side effects are not the only potential problem with medicines; sometimes people take medicines when they do not need them or use them in the wrong way or even take someone else’s medicines. Usually these things happen by accident or because of misunderstandings. Often the consequences are mild but sometimes they can be severe or even life-threatening.
Cancer, however, would be reduced by implementing the preventive measures of the health care people suffering from the disease could also afford to treat it without going broke. Despite much political bickering, the health care gives a much positive outlook for cancer and opening the door for more people who were otherwise condemned to die from cancer to access insurance coverage. Cancer is inarguably one of the most distressing diseases that could impact people. Including all the health problems, cancer affect a lot of people in the world, it takes a toll on peoples lives physically, emotionally and financially. The patient protection and affordable care act also known as the health benefits is a health bill signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2013.
A recently developed a new treatment for macular degeneration with very good results in general (although there are people who do not respond to this treatment), which is based on the use of injections periodic anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth ), they are hindering the development of new vessels, which is the alteration that really worsens the prognosis of the disease. Other less frequent macular degeneration, such as the toxic maculopathy , occur as a result of the ingestion of certain substances, such as drugs used in malaria , namely chloroquine, so when this drug is used is eye must perform regular checks, as well as a previous eye
