I. Introduction of EB problem to be researched The topic of choice is urinary catheters. Many patients have or will have catheters in their hospital stay or in their lifetime. Catheters come in a variety of different types of shapes and tips. A one-way catheter also known as a “straight cath” is a quick way to get urine out of the bladder for clean collection or to just remove urine. The one-way catheter does not have a balloon at the tip, therefore, it does not remain in the patient. The two-way
Chitons are a class of mollusc called Polyplacophora, when examined, share the same anatomical features as those of the first molluscs on earth. This means that they are t closely related to the beginning of the mollusc group. These molluscs vary in size but have the same features as a long, oval flat body with a segmented mantle to protect the ventral of the chiton. These organism have learned to create a “suction” affect using their ventral to hold on to rocks so that they do not get washed away
Intraspecific evolution is the evolution that is continually occurring within a species. When a species undergoes this type of evolution they are subject to many evolutionary pressures such as mutation, migration and selection. How the species reacts to these pressures effects their genetic variation, gene flow, chances of survival and all together their growth as a species. Whales are a group of species that have undergone many evolutionary pressures and many species have experienced bottlenecks
Cephalopoda Introduction: Invertebrate animals which belong to mollusks which means “head foot” and characterized by large head and modified feet. This group includes octopuses, squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Members of cephalopods are characterized by their ability to quick change their color as well as changing the texture and shape of their bodies as a means of camouflage. Today there are about 800 living marine species of cephalopods which are found in all of the world’s oceans, from the
the United States, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths that affects both men and women. (“Cancer Prevention and Control.”). According to Cancer Statistics, in 2016, 17.5 million people reported having cancer and of those reported cases, 1,317,247 people reported having colorectal cancer in the United States. Colorectal cancer begins with the growth of a polyp which is a small clump of cells that form along the lining of the colon or rectum. Some polyps can become cancer
Stages of Colon Caner Colon cancer is cancer impacts the rectum or colon, which is the large intestine, and sometimes doctors and scholars call it colorectal cancer (1).Colon cancer develops slowly, so most people with colon cancer do not express any symptoms (2).The tumor begins as polyps in the colon for years then these polyps growth and turns to cancer (2).Moreover, colon cancer has several stages. The stage is important guide of how far the tumor has grown into the colon wall, and
a wise decision to undergo a colonoscopy. The American Cancer Society has advised that colon cancer is preventable with regular screening. Polyps can be detected early and removed before they have a chance to turn cancerous. It is estimated that it takes a polyp about 10 years to become cancerous. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends colorectal cancer screening beginning at age 50. However, if there is a family history of colon cancer, one would be advised to start screening sooner
Every day millions of animals are killed in order to make food. Mothers are taken away from their children and are slaughtered for meat. Before the animals are killed, they are held in confinement and treated very poorly. People should exclude meat from their diets because there are many proven beneficial effects. Not eating meat will cause less animal cruelty. One Green Planet says, “The animals we slaughter for food are extremely intelligent and sensitive creatures, and the way in which we
Chemistry IA Introduction In this report, i will explore the effect of temperature on the caffeine content of White tea. Just like coffee, tea is one of the drunkest beverage for people either just like the taste of it or for those who really needs them to stay fresh in the morning. Caffeine is the chemical that was found within both products. Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed drug. It is a central nervous system stimulant belong to the methylxanthine class. Caffeine can be derived
Introduction Imagine swallowing a pill and having it yanked out of your esophagus moments later to find whether or not you may have cancer. Welcome to the new age, in which there exists the cytosponge. The cytosponge is a swallowable device, which collects cells which may contain biomarkers for Barrett's oesophagus, the precursor to esophageal cancer (Lao-Sirieix, P., & Fitzgerald, R. C. , 2010). Around 1% of human cancers start in the esophagus — and only 19% of patients with esophageal cancer
to date with Colon cancer screening. What my statement in cancer is that you should not joke about cancer. The cause of 140,000 diagnosed Colon cancer patients is a rare disorder that causes you to develop thousands of polyps in the lining of your colon and rectum. When polyps are together in the Colon or rectum it creates a bump and food or water can't flow through your colon or rectum. Symptoms for colon cancer are bowel habits, changes in stool, blood in the stool, and abdominal discomfort
A simple diarrhea can ruin someone else’s day, but how worse can it be when an individual suffers from stomach cancer? This type of cancer develops once the cancer cells take over the lining of the stomach. It then spreads on to the other locations inside your body. It is also considered as the top 5 leading cancer types throughout the world. To know more about stomach cancer, read the article below: Stomach Cancer Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is the growth of abnormal cells in
Why should endangered species be protected by humans? People should know that animals and plants are creature that have the right to live in peace. Endangered species are animals and plants that will be extinct because of human activities such as hunting. Some people would use many kind of animals to take their leather and use to it as clothes, bags, and shoes. Also, humans are cutting plants in a suspicious way without thinking about this act and how it may affect nature. Due to this horrible action
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with variation of up to 20-fold worldwide (Park et al, 2010). Added to this, epidemiological studies suggest that economic development and dietary habits are implicated in colon cancer incidence. (Johnson et al. 2007). Cancer (especially colon cancer) advances over a prolonged duration consisting of three stages: initiation, promotion, and progression. In order to reduce cancer’s symptoms and persistence, carcinogenesis
habits of 6 month duration was found to have numerous polyps in the colon with colonoscopy. He also had two osteomas on the forehead and several epidermal cysts in the scrotal skin. His brother had a history suggestive of a similar disease. The patient underwent total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch – anal anastomosis. Pathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in addition to numerous polyps which were villous, tubulo-villous and tubular adenomata
Colon Polyp Treatment in Los Angeles- Methods of Screening for the Presence of Polyps A polyp is a fleshy growth of cells that develops on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These are largely asymptomatic (therefore producing no noticeable signs or symptoms), which means that the majority of patients are completely unaware of their presence. Screening is often the only way in which these polyps can be identified and treated. Why Do I need To Be Screened For Colon Polyps? As polyps will normally
the colon and colon cancer typically begins in the epithelial tissue. Most of the time because this tissue is so alike in the colon and the rectum this cancer is also called colorectal cancer. Typically, colorectal cancer begins on what is called a polyp, which is a small tissue growth that is usually benign, but when a polyp increases in size it can cause cancer. Colon cancer grows at a slow pace and typically takes about 10 to 20 years to progress. There are four stages of cancer one being the least
Proctologist and Colorectal Surgeon – What is the Difference? If you are looking for specialist medical treatment within the Los Angeles area, then some of the terms that are used may be confusing if you do not have a medical background. A proctologist is a type of doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the colon (or large intestine), rectum and anus. This entire region may be referred to as the bowel. Some proctologists will also treat conditions affecting
Colorectal cancer may affect men and women. It is one of the most common cancers in both genders, ranked third. Regular screening for early detection of colorectal cancer leads to the best treatment options. With screening, polyps in the colon can be found and removed before they turn into cancer. Screening typically is recommended beginning at age 50. Colonoscopies are recommended to be done every 10 years. There are other screening tests as well. People that have a history of polyps or
affordable care act mammograms and screening for cervical cancer must be covered in full with no cost sharing of the patient (no author, n.d.). One other screening test that should be done is for colorectal cancer, beginning at the age of 50. Colorectal cancer most always develops from precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. With screening these can be found and removed before they turn into cancer or found early enough for treatments to be effective (no author, 2015). Women also need to have
