Care of Cancer
Cancer has overtaken HIV / AIDS and malaria to top the list of headaches for medical departments and policy makers alike. In 2012, cancer claimed a massive 8.2 million lives, with breast, colorectal, stomach, lung, and liver cancers accounting for more than three-quarters of these. Alcohol and tobacco use, lack of physical activity, low vegetable and fruit intake, and high body mass index have been found to be responsible for a significant 30% of cancer deaths, with tobacco use causing 70% of the 1.59 million global lung cancer deaths reported in 2012. Metastasis, the process occasioned or characterized by unusual growth of abnormal cells, which end up invading adjacent parts, eventually extending to neighboring organs, is the mainspring of death from cancer. The World Health Organization projects that annual cancer cases will hit 22 million by the year 2020, but maintains that mortality can be reduced if….

Hypocholesterolemic Agents: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Citrate Lyase (ACL) InhibitorsBy limiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver, ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitors reduce LDLc. The enzyme ACL is upstream of HMG-CoA reductase in the cholesterol production pathway. Bempedoic acid is a novel and, until now, the only licensed adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase inhibitor that operates through the cholesterol-synthesis pathway (much like statins) to reduce LDL-C safely and effectively (Brandts & Ray, 2020). Because it is a prodrug, it is activated in the hepatocyte, avoiding the muscular side effects that statins might cause.ACL as compared to Statinsi. Mechanism of actionACL is a non-mitochondrial enzyme abundant in lipogenic tissues like the liver and adipose tissue. ACL catalyzes the conversion of cytosolic Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate from mitochondrial-derived citrate, with Acetyl-CoA acting as a common substrate for de-novo cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis (Govindaraju & Sabarathinam, 2021). The sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) regulates ACL transcription and….

Side Effects and Drug
PAGES 2 WORDS 660

Cialis is the brand name of the drug tadalafil, which is most commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction. The formula for tadafil is C22H19N3O4. Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 type (PDE-5) inhibitor; it inhibits the PDE-5 enzyme, which in turn prevents the destruction of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The resulting muscle relaxation increases blood flow to the penis.
Tablets are usually almond-shaped, and come in 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 mg doses. When manufactured by the Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla under the brand name Tadacip, the pills are also almond-shaped and light orange in color (Tadafil, 2016). Generally, doses of 10mg are recommended as a starting dose for complaints of erectile dysfunction. Some patients may respond to doses as low as 5 mg, whereas others may need 20 mg to notice effects. Effects last up to 36 hours, and can start working in about 30 minutes. The drug should not be taken more….

Side Effects and Disorder
PAGES 6 WORDS 1771

Galactosemia is a disorder in the body that results in the body's inability to metabolize galactose adequately. Galactose is a simple sugar that in correctly functioning body systems is used for energy. What happens when a person has galactosemia is the individual cannot break down the simple sugar and thus becomes lethargic, loses energy, loses weight, becomes jaundiced and the person can -- if untreated -- develop worse complications, such as cataracts, cirrhosis, mental disability and even death (Berry, Walter, 2012). Galactosemia is therefore a very serious disorder. However, it can be treated by simply avoiding galactose (milk-based products have galactose). This paper will discuss galactosemia, what causes it, the disadvantages (and advantages) of it, how to avoid suffering from it, and how to treat it.
What is Galactosemia?

Galactosemia is a condition by which the GALT gene is mutated in a disadvantageous way. The effect is that the body cannot absorb….

Side Effects and Asthma

Asthma and Stepwise Management
Long-term control and quick relief treatment, and the effect on patients

Health care comprises of giving treatment for acute asthmatic incidents and management of persistent symptoms, which includes exercise-provoked and nocturnal asthmatic symptoms. Pharmacological controls entail the application of management mechanisms: inhaled corticosteroids, theophylline, long-acting bronchodilators (anticholinergics and beta-agonists), leukotriene transformers and the more current tactics for example the utilization of Ige, that is, anti-immunoglobulin E. antibodies (Omalizumab), and the use of anti-IL-5 antibodies in the case of selected patients. Considering all and especially the most severely affected patients, the crucial objective is to minimize symptoms, reduce morbidity experienced from acute instances and negate psychological and functional morbidity to give a healthy or near normal life expected of a child's age (Morris, 2016).

Majority of the population with asthma have to depend on long-term control medications on a daily basis to aid prevent the symptoms. Most efficient long-term medications….

PAGES 15 WORDS 4091

According to a 2002 survey conducted under the auspices of NIH, ecstasy abuse among college and university students in general is a widespread trend that impedes academic performance (Bar-on, 2002). The NIH survey targeted 66 4-year American universities and colleges alike. The projected findings indicated a diminishing trend in undergraduate academic performance amongst students who indulge in binge drinking and abuse ecstasy in the process. Elsewhere, a Harvard College drug study indicated persistent drug users were more likely to miss lectures and delay in their coursework than the average student (Montgomery & Fisk, 2008).
A parallel IP esearch dubbed "Predictors of academic achievement and retention among college freshmen" projected that while certain students manage to cope with the new life role upon entering college, a good number of students flunk out of college before completing their freshman year. According to this research, 75% of the freshman drop out is related….

Anti-Cancer Drug Anaerobin
a) EFFECTS ON KIDNEYS, HEART AND BRAIN

Cytotoxic metabolites are created when bio-reductive drugs go through a metabolic process because they contribute to curing cancer by lowering oxygen to areas where the cancer affects the body. The local auto regulation process of the body provides the oxygen to all parts of the body where it is needed. The arterioles supplying that tissue for oxygen dilate to supply more oxygen than usual. This happens also in the case of the tumor when it demands more oxygen; it is supplied by the body and anaerobin affects the auto regulation process in all areas as it reduces the blood flow to all organs, except the lungs. It can reduce the oxygen and supply of nutrients to the tumor by up to 99%. Therefore this bio-reductive drug can help in treatment of cancer in modern therapy.

Anti-cancer drugs reduce the cell growth of the….

Self-Esteem
Exercise promotes higher self-esteem in individuals of all ages and/or physical capabilities as long as the individual enjoys the particular exercise program or feels there are definite and measurable benefit to participating in the program.

Professional athletes are some of the most self assured individuals in our society. There have been many studies that have shown that these individuals are highly paid yet the majority of them would continue to work at their sport for free. One of the main reasons for these phenomena is that these specialists really enjoy what they do and they feel they get an obvious reward for doing what they do. They literally get paid for exercising.

Exercise provides many benefits. These athletes receive a unique benefit that many laymen simply are unaware that it comes with the turf so to speak. Professional athletes get the benefit of added self-esteem. "Speculation regarding the interactions between physical….

Effects of Mental Illness
PAGES 2 WORDS 675

mental illness on the individual, family, and community, and identify mental health resources for individuals experiencing mental illness. Mental illness does not just affect the patient, it affects the entire patient's family and friends, and it can affect them throughout their life. Unfortunately, mental illness still invokes a stigma in this country, which has a negative affect on patients suffering from mental illness.
Even when people attempt to be open minded, there is still a stigma that revolves around people who suffer from mental health issues. Two authors note, "People suffering from mental illness and other mental health problems are among the most stigmatized, discriminated against, marginalized, disadvantaged and vulnerable members of our society" (Overton & Medina, 2008). This is just one of the negative affects of suffering from mental illness, and it can be as debilitating as the disease itself. In the past, (such as the middle ages, people….

My Work1The course provided a thorough understanding of the basic mechanisms of neurotransmission, including the different types of neurotransmitters and their functions. The course also explained how psychotropic medications target specific neurotransmitter systems to treat various mental health conditions. For example, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSIs) are commonly prescribed for depression and anxiety disorders because they increase the availability of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation (Hjorth et al., 2021).The course covered major categories of psychotropic drugs, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers. It explained the rationale for using these medications, their mechanisms of action, and common side effects associated with their use. For example, antipsychotics are used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder because they block dopamine receptors, a neurotransmitter that is overactive in these conditions. At the same time, these drugs can have negative side effects.The course additionally covered the use of complementary….

public corruption and its effect, including the claim that public corruption in an unavoidable side effect of development. Corruption in public service can be an ongoing concern in many areas. Corruption can lead to disorder, lack of trust in police or other public entities, and to ongoing problems with morale and citizen support. There is an argument that in countries with high levels of corruption, it has some benefit, but that is difficult to accept, as corruption only benefits those who participate in it, and it definitely does not benefit the general population.
The Transparency International Web site defines corruption as "Corruption is operationally defined as the misuse of entrusted power for private gain" (Editors, 2009). They go on to state that public servants (including criminal justice professionals), have a duty to remain above corruption. They note, "It is the duty of civil servants, managers and trustees to act visibly,….


Data Analysis

The researcher will gather all of the information collected from the self report questionnaires and analyze using a variety of techniques including summary, interpretation, classifying and describing. The author will use the data to measure change that occurs among the populations using HT therapy.

In conducting the study the researcher will undoubtedly run into some obstacles including determining how to measure change in the participants health and well being, examining the extent of change and the attributes of change for purposes of the study (King, 2001). Measuring change is a key concept vital to longitudinal research design (Kind, 2001). As this study is qualitative in nature the data will be presented via narratives, observations and transcripts from the survey to record and measure data appropriately (King, 2001).

The researcher will attempt to explain change and identify causal relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Data managing, reading, describing, interpreting and representing….

In this respect, it was not the reality which mattered but rather the perception of that reality. Most of the times during the Cold War, but especially after the fall of the Iron Curtain, the reality showed that the perception of the Russian Soviets as the strongest forces in the world was often not true. Still it motivated the U.S. To consider all sorts of side games to defeat the communist threat, which in fact was not as big as considered throughout the decades.
Diversionary war has its own motivation in terms of psychological impact on the population. People tend to view the international threat as being the ultimate point of reference for danger. The state in itself is the most trusted instrument for the insurance of security, and an international threat constitutes the questioning of this establishment. More precisely, it has been argued that "as the leader of one….

All this may lead to instigate cultural disharmony within the nations (Knight, 2006, p. 2). On economic front too, often globalization is attacked as a view that it supports excruciating imperialism and colonization.
It is undeniable fact that globalization has improved the world to a greater degree, yet the negative effects of some consequences cannot be denied. It has led to wide increase of socio-economic disparities within societies, nations and between different regions of the world. The phenomenon has also empowered the relatively poor people across the world to migrate away with the means of moving from one country or continent to another. Migration has its positive effects that can be easily seen in the nations that are suffering from slowing birth-rates. Many European countries are running out of people. Migration helps these countries to maintain the workforce. On the other hand, migration leads to difficulties caused due to brain….

Clozapine is an antopsychotic drug grouped roughly together with other "atypical" or second-generation antipsychotics. Brand names for Clozapine include Clozaril and Versacloz. Clozapine works by binding to several different types of neurotransmitter receptors, and is especially effective as a serotonin antagonist, but attach to only select dopamine receptors ("Clozapine," 2016).
Clozapine is most commonly prescribed for schizophrenia, but can also be prescribed in severe cases of bipolar disorder that include the presence of psychotic mania. The drug may be indicated for persons experiencing hallucinations, and can reduce suicidal tendencies as well as reduce some of the cognitive issues associated with psychosis including disorganized or delusional thinking ("Clozapine," 2016). It is prescribed when other pharmacological interventions fail, and Clozapine is also noted for its ability to reduce the negative symptoms of schizophrenia including mood disorders, uninterested in social activities, and problems communicating -- symptoms that are rarely addressed with either first generation….

One of the difficulties about writing a summary of any of the vaccines for the novel Coronavirus that is known as COVID-19 is that much of the information remains unknown.  In addition, because the vaccines created by Pfizer and Moderna are both mRNA vaccines, which are not a familiar type of vaccine, they create some additional questions.  How long will the vaccines be effective?  Are they safe?  Will they work to prevent infection by the newer strands of COVID-19?  Do they change your DNA as some people on the internet are suggesting? ....
