How Lung Cancer Discovered

admin — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 08:26:43 +0000

Lung cancer often causes no symptoms until it reaches the stage is already very serious, because it is usually lung cancer was incidentally found during screening tests for patients run the other tests.
A new method of X-ray called a spiral CT scan is quite promising in finding early lung cancer in smokers and former smokers. People who smoke should be remembered that the best way to avoid dying from lung cancer is smoking STOP.

If your doctor suspects lung cancer, the doctor will usually perform a physical examination and taking samples of sputum (saliva) for examination under a microscope; some types of lung cancer can be detected through sputum.
When not found cancerous cells in sputum analysis, your doctor may recommend additional examination such as:
• X-ray or CT scan of the thorax (chest).
• Bronchoscopy, namely binoculars lungs.
• needle biopsy, which is taking samples of lung tumor tissue for examination by the pathologist tumor types
• Bone scan, namely the examination of bone when doctors suspect that the spread of cancer to bone
• Mediastinoskopi, namely tissue sampling of lymph nodes to detect lung cancer spread to lymph nodes
• Blood tests for tumor markers associated with lung cancer, such as PTH (to distinguish lung cancer with pleural cancer for example), CEA (when levels above 50, indicating an advanced stage lung cancer), CYFRA21-1 protein marker for lung cancer).

Canker Sores Causes and Treatment of Canker Sores

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 07:17:38 +0000

Canker sores are the type of mouth ulcer. Some medical term used to refer to canker sores is “recurrent aphthous ulcers small” and “recurrent aphthous stomatitis minor” (thus distinguish canker sores from other forms of aphthous ulcers or aphthous stomatitis). Canker sores are the most common type of canker sores.
Canker sores are small ulcer craters in the lining of the mouth are often painful and sensitive. About 20% of the population (1 out of 5) of canker sores at a time. Canker sores are also medically known as aphthous ulcers.
What causes canker sores?
Nothing is certain what causes canker sores. They often first appear between the ages of 10 and 20, although they can appear at any time in one’s life. One thing the doctor noticed was that although the wound is not contagious, they can run in families.
Canker sores can run in families. They also may be related to problems with the body’s immune defenses () system. Injuries may occur after a mouth injury due to dental work, aggressive tooth cleaning, or biting the tongue or cheek.
Canker sores can be triggered by emotional stress, lack of food (especially iron, folic acid, or vitamin B-12), menstrual periods, hormonal changes, food allergies, and the same situation. They occur most commonly with viral infections. In some cases, the cause can not be identified.
Symptoms of Canker Sores
Most canker sores are round or oval with a white or yellow center and red border. They form inside your mouth – on or under your tongue (soft palate), inside the cheeks or lips, and at the base of your gums. You may notice tingling or burning sensation or two days before the sores actually appear.
Canker sores Can Be Prevented?
Although there is no cure for canker sores and they often reoccur, you may be able to reduce their frequency:
Avoiding foods that irritate your mouth – including acidic or spicy foods
Avoiding irritation from gum
How canker sores treated?
Canker sores usually disappear without any treatment. To relieve pain, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand names: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other drugs, such as Anbesol, Orajel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing teeth. The drug is applied directly on the sore.
The aphthous ulcer appears as a white or yellow oval with inflamed red border. Sometimes a white circle or halo around the lesion can be observed. -The gray, white, or yellow colored area within the red boundary is due to the formation of a layer of fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting.
Medical Treatment
Applying a specific steroid salves directly to effective pain if you use the ointment in the initial attack. If the drug over-the-counter does not help, the general recipe consists of triamsinolon acetonide, a corticosteroid, in toothpaste attached (Kenalog in Orabase). Usually, you apply the paste to the lesions three times daily. Recently, doctors have prescribed amlexanox

Woooowww … Sitting eventually turned out Cancer Trigger!

Important note, sitting too long at a computer all day is not good. Health can also be disrupted. Research shows that spending ten years or more in permanent jobs, increasing the risk almost doubled developed several types of colon cancer.
Worse, the researchers even found workers who regularly maintain fitness or go to the gym is still two times more likely to get tumors.
The findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology, highlighting the dangers of modern working patterns, where a large number of employees tied to the front desk for hours at a time.
The study also supports previous research findings that show a man who sits all day in their work 30 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer rather than with a very active job.
More than 37,500 people per year in the UK are diagnosed with colon cancer. This disease has a high mortality rate – around 16,000 years – because many victims ignore the early warning signs and seek medical help only after the cancer has been advanced.
Diets high in fat and red meat, and lack of exercise, is considered one of the major risk factors, such as reported by Dailymail, Tuesday (19 / 4).
But the latest study by a team of experts at the University of Western Australia, show a long time physical inactivity during the day can also be a big risk – even among those who do a lot of practice in their spare time.
Recent research from the U.S. emphasize a lot of adults now spend about 55 per time their work by sitting. Australian researchers spoke with 918 colon cancer patients and compare their work patterns with 1021 cancer-free volunteers.
They were asked about their employment history, lifestyle and physical activity levels.
The results showed that employees spend more than a decade in the permanent job is as much as 94 percent more likely to suffer from intestinal tumors in the area known as the distal colon, part of the large intestine that connects to the rectum.
Researchers then found permanent employment pattern increases the likelihood of rectal cancer by 44 percent over ten years. It said the findings show there is no amount of activity in leisure time can reduce the losses derived from long periods of sitting in the workplace.
Sitting too long at work is thought to cause increased levels of blood sugar and insulin production damage, both associated with the development of colon cancer. However, sitting too long can also lead to inflammation deep within the body, known risk factors for tumors, the researchers said.
Dr Claire Knight, health information officer at Cancer Research UK, said the findings support other studies on physical activity and cancer. But he cautioned the findings need to be replicated in larger studies.
There is a good time to spend working as least 5-10 minutes just to make the body

Detect Cancer By Phone

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:24:48 +0000

In the near future, there may be an application that lets you easily detect cancer. Researchers have created a tiny device, which with the help of a smartphone, in 1 hour can determine whether the suspicious lump in the body of a cancer patient is dangerous or benign.

Previously, oncologists typically use a thick needle to take some cells from the lump for analysis in the lab. However, the test generally takes several days and sometimes can not provide a definite conclusion.

To that end, Ralph Weissleder, scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, United States, to develop nuclear magnetic resonance machine (NMR), small, tool that allows researchers to identify chemical compounds with knowing their reaction in a magnetic field.

They also found a way to attach magnetic nanoparticles to proteins so that the engine can choose a particular protein such as those found in tumor cells.

Standard NMR machines commonly used in chemistry lab has the size of a closet. However, using technology developed, the tool only has a size of a cup of coffee.

To find out how this new tool can be used in clinical cancer, the MGH researchers used a standard procedure to take suspicious cells from the patient’s body.

They then label the cells with magnetic nanoparticles are designed to be attached to proteins associated with cancer cell and inject it into a mini NMR machines that have been made.

The device, which output data can be read by the smartphone’s applications, detecting nine proteins to look for cancer cells.

By combining four of the nine results of research on these proteins, the MGH team succeeded in diagnosing biopsy 48 of 50 patients in less than 1 hour per patient.

According to a report published in Science Translational Medicine, the diagnosis of micro NMR is also 100 percent accurate when examining the other 20 patients examined. For comparison, standard pathology tests on similar samples only reached the level of accuracy between 74 to 84 percent.

Weissleder hope, they have developed devices that allow doctors to take samples from the patient, try to test, and notify the results when the patient regained consciousness. “Currently, patients come for a biopsy test, go home, and wait several days to know the results,” Weissleder said, as quoted from Science, February 24, 2011.

“Patients experiencing a difficult period while awaiting the results of whether they have cancer or not,” says Weissleder. “In addition, this method also could cut repeat biopsy examination is generally a cost of up to thousands of dollars,”.

Beware Leukemia in Children

Beware Leukemia in Children, Leukemia is a disease that is very vicious, this disease is a disease of cancer of the blood. This disease can affect everyone from small children to the elderly, both women and men. The existence of this disease is not expected by any human. This disease malignant cells derived from bone marrow and is characterized by the proliferation of white blood cells resulting in the production of white blood cells are abnormal. Malignant disease is in urgent need of a great attention, because this disease is a malignancy the largest at the child. Malignancy was reached 30-40% of existing malignancies in children worldwide.
All the time cancer is a disease that is still very scary for the wider community. Moreover, when this disease attacks the child, then the child can be threatened. Handling of this disease to be slow due to lack of knowledge of the communities of this malignant disease, appropriate treatments for this disease as well as society’s economic situation is not good resulting in delayed treatment community to the hospital and get the proper handling of the doctor.
Actually the same as other cancers in children with cancer can still be cured during the early and still stadium this disease is detected early. Yet until now not be known causes of cancer in these children. The experts examined the existence of a defect in the cell or damage from the time a baby in the womb is something defective genetic and so on after birth and exposed to environmental factors, there was a growth of white blood cells that can not be controlled in which white blood cells in large quantities will damage the red blood cells resulting in cancers that are malignant cause this.
The general characteristics of children suffering from leukemia is the child looks pale, lethargic and weak, there was the emergence of unexplained fever, marked the emergence of abnormal bleeding with blue-blue and red spots on skin, pain in bones and lymph nodes are swollen and the stomach swollen or feels hard when touched. The disease is really very torturing children. Early prevention is highly recommended that exclusive breastfeeding can reach 20-30% of children and away from the crowds, sebaikan parents more vigilant in children because most children rarely complain and can not feel the lack of early symptoms of cancer.
If the child has a strange change as soon as possible directly sent to the doctor to quickly know whether a child has cancer or not. If it is not cancer, then select the appropriate treatment. Treatment may include curative and supportive handling.
Handling specific curative or handler who is aiming to cure a patient. The general strategy of acute leukemia included induction chemotherapy remission, intensification (CNS prophylaxis) and continued.
Treatment is supportive treatment in other diseases that accompany leukemia, complications and action to promote healing, including psychological treatment. Supportive treatments include blood transfusions (platelet), giving antibiotics to the infection (sepsis), antifungal medications, good nutrition and psychosocial aspects of the approach.

EARS WILL RESULT IN CANCER DEATH

In rabbit ear cancer is one disease that can cause death if not treated properly and correctly. This disease attacks the inner ear, the beginning of this disease is rich in mucous discharge from the ears of rabbits and then over time will move as well caused by fleas so rabbits are very disturbed really, and usually the head of a rabbit will moving or shaking movement because it feels itching.

If the rabbit has ear cancer this appetite will decrease, so automatic weight down as well. If the disease is already severe can cause death, then when the rabbit ear cancer disease should be separated in the stable, own, aim to prevent transmission to the rabbits are still healthy.
To overcome this disease by using salt in love a little water, wait for water-soluble salts. Then apply a crusty rabbit gets in place with a cotton bath, approximately one day one time only, can also use coconut oil or alcohol.

Bone Cancer

Definition of Bone-Bone
Your body has 206 bones. These bones serve a variety of different functions. First, your bones provide structure in your body and helps provide shape. The muscles attached to bones and allow you to move. Without the bones, your body will become a heap of soft tissues without structure, and you will not be able to stand, walk, or move. Second, the bones to help protect the organs that are more susceptible than the body. For example, the bones of the skull protect the brain, the spinal vertebrae (spine) to protect the spinal cord (spinal cord), and the ribs protect the heart and lungs. Third, the bones contain bone marrow (bone marrow), which create and save new blood cells. Finally, the bones of your body to help control the collection of a variety of proteins and nutrients including calcium and phosphorus.
What is cancer?
Your body is made up of many tiny structures called cells. There are many different types of cells that grow to form different parts of your body. During normal growth and development, these cells continuously grow, divide, and create new cells. This process continues throughout life even after you no longer grow. The cells continue to divide and create new cells to replace cells that are old and damaged. In a healthy person, the body is able to control the growth and division of cells according to the needs of the body. Cancer is when these normal control of cells lost and cells begin to grow and divide out of control. The cells also become abnormal and have changed the functions in patients with cancer.
There are many different types of cancer. Cancer is usually named based on the type of cell that is affected. For example, lung cancer is caused by cells that form beyond the control of the lung, and breast cancer by the cells that form the breast. A tumor is a collection (collection) of abnormal cells that accumulate together. However, not all tumors are cancerous. A tumor can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumors are usually less dangerous and unable to spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are usually more serious and can spread to other areas in the body. The ability of cancer cells to leave their original location and moved to another location in the body is called metastasis. Metastasis can occur with cancer cells enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system of the body (lymphatic system) to walk to other places in the body. When cancer cells metastasize to other parts of the body, they are still called with the type of origin of the abnormal cells. For example, if a group of cells into the diseased breast cancer and metastasize to the bones, it is called metastatic cancer payudra. Many different types of cancer are able to metastasize to the bones. Types of most common cancers that spread to the bones are lung, breast, prostate, thyroid, and kidney. Most times, when people have cancer in their bones, it is caused by cancer that has spread from elsewhere in the body to the bones. It is more common not to have an original bone cancer, a cancer that arises from cells that form bone. It is important to determine whether the cancer in the bones are from somewhere else or from a cancer of the bone cells. Treatments for cancers that metastasize to bone have been based on the initial type of cancer.

South Korean Cloning Scientist Pigs To Fight Cancer

Prof. Park Chang-Sik from Chungnam National University claimed the team he leads has been successfully created four cloned female pigs. This pig will produce milk containing GM-CSF protein species. These proteins are believed to be able to stimulate production of white blood cells to fight cancer.

“We have cloned pigs that will produce milk containing (protein) GM-CSF with very high levels in a year,” said Park. The process of cloning itself, he added, using the same method by cloning the world’s first sheep, Dolly.

Danger Formalin Not Just Cancer?

admin — Sat, 28 May 2011 11:07:46 +0000

One cause of increased cases of cancer? is due to the increasing number of people who eat different foods contain elements of formalin. Why are chemicals, like formaldehyde, are now widespread use?
Compared to a few years ago, now enough cases of cancer were found in the community.

One possible cause is an unhealthy diet, particularly consumption of various foods containing formalin. Besides causing cancer, formalin can also lead to? irritation of the limb in its path. For example on the skin, respiratory tract, as well as in the stomach.? If it lasts a long time, it can cause cancer.

In addition to formalin, a chemical element that is widely used for food products and usually consumed by children is a dye clothing or other chemicals that are mixed in food. Actually very easy to distinguish dyes used clothing to foods, ie the garment dye will stick to the bowl or plate of food containers. When using the preservative formalin, usually food would be a bit chewy when eaten.

To reduce the practical use of formaldehyde as well as preservatives and dyes, it is expected the government to immediately intervene to provide enough knowledge to society.

Number of formalin, dyes and other chemicals in the community, caused by two things namely because of lack of public knowledge about the impacts of chemicals on health and for survival amid the current economic crush. Ordinary people generally do not know whether the food consumed contains hazardous materials or not. Therefore, it has become mandatory for government and health officials to protect the public, including from the harmful food ingredient.

Holding Molecular Tumor Helps Relieve Pain Due to Cancer

admin — Fri, 27 May 2011 07:21:14 +0000

According to researchers in Germany, the pain of cancer can be reduced by blocking the growth of certain types of hormones, such as molecules produced by tumors.
The research team shows how molecules grow in body tissue causing severe pain. The molecules under study are known to have a role in the formation of blood cells in bone marrow. But, this is also the first time that these molecules cause pain in cancer patients. The discovery by a team of researchers from Heidelberg University is published in Nature Medicine.
The pain is one symptom associated with many types of diseases. The researchers hope their work could produce medicines and new treatments to arrest the growth of these molecules so that pain can be reduced.
