About 11,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3600 will die. (Atkinson) Cervical Cancer is cancer of the cervix, the lower narrow part of the uterus. The uterus is hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a women’s pregnancy. (Facts) Morton 2 Merck began marketing Gardasil in 2006 after the Food and Drug Administration approved it for females ages 9 to 26. The vaccine is the first of its kind to build immunity against two strains of HPV, which lead to 70% of cervical cancer cases in the United States.
There are two vaccines (Gardisil and Cervaix) that are given to year 8 girls to prevent HPV. “This vaccine is said to save an estimate of 400 women each year [1].” A pathogen is a biological agent that causes diseases or illness to its host A cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph system. Cancer is a problem to body because it can spread and then takes over parts of the body that carries out essential functions A vaccine protects your body from specific diseases that make you become very ill, disabled or even kill you. The way the HPV vaccine works is by using an inactive form of the virus.
The first is squamous cell, which accounts for an outstanding 80-90% of all cervical cancer cases. Then there are adenocarcinomas, which accounts for a 10-20% of the cervical cancer cases (Shinn, 2004, p38). Cervical cancer is highly treatable if caught at an early stage. “But once cancer spreads to the lymphatic system or parametrial tissues adjacent to the cervix, treating it successfully becomes more difficult” (Shinn, 2004, p. 38). Sexual exposure to the sexually transmitted infection HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer.
Sampling errors and errors due to selection bias B. Sampling errors only C. Errors due to interviewer bias and selection bias D. Only non-sampling errors 2) When every member of a population has the chance of being selected based on the probability, or frequency, of its representation in that population, you are using which type of sampling? A. Census sample B. Convenience sample C. Random sample D. Quota sample 3) A recent study of breast cancer revealed that 13% of the women in the sample used antibiotics more than 500 days in their lifetime. Further, 79% of these “heavy antibiotics users” developed breast cancer.
The virus can be found on the surface of the skin, cervix, vagina, anus, vulva, head of penis, mouth and throat. Since it is found in so many places it can easily be spread. HPV is not curable but is preventable. With people knowing this why is the vaccine intake rate so low? Is it because we don’t even know what HPV is or maybe it’s because we are not informed about the vaccine, or could it be we know about the vaccine but it’s too expensive for the average person?
Zoloft – A Case against Birth Defects Corporate Overview Zoloft is well tolerated and effective for the treatment of depression and certain types of anxiety disorders. Zoloft is FDA approved to treat depression, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in adults over age 18.

He took in about 12,000 mg daily of it to ward of disease, and when he was sick or began to feel as though he may soon become sick, then he would increase his daily dose to about 40,000 mg instead. Pauling claimed that because he did this, he was able to delay his prostate cancer by roughly twenty years. Vitamin C is essential to the health of humans for it is “required for the proper development and function of many parts of the body[ webmd.com]”. Vitamin C is most commonly used for treating the common cold, age-related macular degeneration , ulcers in the stomach caused by a specific bacterium, slowing the worsening of osteoarthritis and lowering high blood pressure. It can even be used to prevent atherosclerosis, specific kidney problems, lung infections caused by heavy exercise, sunburn and risk of certain cancers.
Naloxone was FDA approved in 1971 and has been used for decades by emergency medical services for reversing opioid overdose and reviving victims who otherwise would have died (Leavitt, 2010). I decided to do this paper for two reasons, one, this problem is not going away. The ‘war on drugs’ is not a war that we are going to win. But with the availability of Naloxone, it may save lives so that recovery is still an option in this fight. Background Approximately 15,000 people die each year by overdosing on opioids, a rate that has more than tripled since 1990 (Wermeling, 2012).
The focus of the literature review will be upon breast cancer and social support received, and the psychological consequences that social support has upon the coping adaptability of breast cancer patients. Breast cancer is now the number one cancer in the UK, each year more than forty five thousand women are diagnosed with this cancer, approximately one hundred and twenty five women a day, this does not include the three hundred men a year that are also diagnosed. According to figures published by the Office for National Statistics in 2002, the incidence of breast cancer in Britain has increased from an age-standardised rate of seventy-five per one hundred thousand in 1979, to one hundred and fourteen per one hundred thousand in 2001. In 1988, a Breast Screening Program was introduced in the UK; this led to a temporary increase in prevalence rates, for women aged 50-64 years. However, more women than ever before are surviving breast cancer, nine out of ten women diagnosed at stage one survive beyond five years.
“The 3-d ultrasound not only helps women with breast cancer and tumors but it, has been used in the treatment of thousands of prostate cancer patients” said Tony Falco, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Resonant Medical. Pauline Truong and Tony Falco are the only two main people in this research besides The University of Cambridge. During this research they only used humans, no rats, or chimps were involved. The increased certainty that radiation is being delivered to the exact area where it is needed have never been more critical, with the percentage of patients opting for breast conservation therapy and PBI on the rise," said Pauline Truong, MD, CM, a researcher on the study. "Following this study, however, it is clear that the benefits of this technology could be applicable to not only PBI patients, but those undergoing whole breast radiation and electron boost therapy - potentially helping an even larger population of women with breast cancer.
