About Prostate In humans body

Prostate is a walnut-sized gland found exclusively in the male human body. Prostate gland is located beneath the urethra and in front of the rectum. This gland is associated with the male reproductive system and secretes a thick seminal fluid essential for providing nourishment to sperms

Strictly Speaking About Ovarian cancer In Humans Body

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a risk factor of ovarian cancer. Where genetic factors intervene, in the majority of cases it may occur in women who have no particular past history, at menopause or beyond.

Diagnosis of ovarian cancer at an early stage is not easy. The disease may manifest itself through abdominal pain. This minimally invasive technique allows the interior of the abdomen to be examined and samples or surgical treatments to be carried out, without opening the abdominal wall. This increases comfort for the patients and reduces the period of convalescence.

The cause of ovarian cancer in humans body

The cause of ovarian cancer is unknown, but there are certain risk factors that indicate an increase in a woman's chance of developing ovarian cancer. The following have been suggested as risk factors for ovarian cancer:

* early menarche - starting monthly periods early - before the age of 12
* late menopause (after the age of 52)
* age - over the age of 50
* hormone replacement therapy
Some studies have suggested that women who use hormone replacement therapy after
menopause may have a slightly increased risk of ovarian cancer.
* infertility (inability to become pregnant)
* having a first child after the age of 30
* personal history of breast or colon cancer
* family history
First-degree relatives (such as mother, daughter, sister) of a woman who has had ovarian cancer are at risk for developing the disease. The risk increases if two or more first-degree relatives have had ovarian cancer. A family history of breast or colon cancer is also associated with an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.
* certain fertility drugs

Mouth & lung cancer problem in human body

It is medically acknowledged that smoking not only causes mouth and lung cancer, but a whole host of other problems such as heart disease, bronchitis and pneumonia. It is also widely that smoking damages your body's ability to heal itself and fight off infections and nowhere is this more evident than in people who suffer from gum disease.

Smoking encourages gum disease to develop because it disables your body's natural healing mechanisms, making treatment much less effective. The healing ability of your body remains affected even after you give up smoking, making you more susceptible to all kinds of other infections. Sufferers of gum disease are more likely to experience shrinkage of gums, loosening and movement of teeth, abscesses and even tooth loss - recent research has shown that only 20% of people over the age of 65 who had never smoked are toothless, compared to 41% of smokers.

People make the common mistake of thinking that the problem comes only from cigarette smoking. However all types of smoking, such as pipe-smoking, cigar-smoking, and chewing tobacco can also damage your health. Those smoking marijuana don't know that in addition to the damage from tobacco, the resins in marijuana are so destructive that one "joint" has the equivalent destructive capacity of approximately 30 cigarettes!

So apart from affecting your social life by causing smelly breath, unsightly and stained teeth, you may also end up having to wear dentures because you've lost all your teeth!

Index of different types of cancer

Lungs Cancer
Brain Cancer
Skin Cancer
Mouth Cancer
Blood Cancer.

All this types of cancers are very dangerous for human .so if any one who have cancer he need to go at hospital for treatment from doctors. all this cancers are very dangerous for human body. & makes many problem in human life.

lung cancer problem in human body which makes problem in them lifes

Survival rates have improved for non-small cell lung cancer because of advances in combination radiation and chemotherapy treatment. With treatment, 14% of patients can have a 5 years survival rate, a high achievement in lung cancer terms. Unfortunately, most patient will die within 12 to 18 months of diagnosis.

Small cell lung carcinoma is treated primarily with chemotherapy and radiation, as surgery has no quantifiable influence on survival. Lung cancer survival rates are higher the earlier the cancer is diagnosed. However, more than two-thirds of lung cancers are diagnosed at a late stage and so survival rates for these patients are lower.

It is no wonder that more and more people are turning to alternative treatments and switching to a cancer friendly diet as their last resort. Alternative treatments are cheap and is within the control of the patient and their family members. A major component of alternative medicine lies in what you eat.

The process start with identifying the foods that can cause or worsen cancer. The idea is to stop eating harmful food before you begin to consume specific anti-cancer food. Be prepared to forgo many types of food that are known and not-so-known to contain cancer-causing fungi. Then, eating cancer-friendly food and cancer-curing food can commence to produce optimal results without obstacles.

Cancer can thrive under these 4 situations in our body:

Weak immunity
Acidity
Excessive Toxin
Lack Of Oxygen

Main problem of cancer from air polution

However, air pollution is not the only the main concern. Smoking is no stranger of ours. People have smoked for years and are continuing to engage in new smoking habits, regarding what health professionals say about the health effects due directly from smoking. Studies have shown that with the health of catchy advertisements and better education on the topic, smoking rates have decreased over the years. The National Cancer Institute released a statement saying the following: ” Tobacco is a major success story. The proportion of the U.S. population that smoke has been going down for several decades…” They go on to say ” there is still room for improvement, but we can look with some pride at our success in the tobacco arena. Studies from the state that in 2007, ninety percent of lung cancer deaths were caused by tobacco. If the number of smokers decreases, so should the number of lung cancer deaths.

Problems of lung cancer in human body in many ways

Lung cancer is cancer that mostly affects the lungs, as well as the cells and surrounding tissues. Lung cancer is usually associated with tumors of which are either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are those that can be removed easily and usually are not cancerous. On the other hand, malignant tumors are those that are spread over a large area, cannot be removed easily, and require more advanced treatment. Although genetics play a major role in lung cancer, smoking and exposure to harsh chemicals have been known to introduce carcinogens into the lungs. Lung cancer, like many other types of cancers, affects both men and women equally worldwide. According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, approximately one out of every fourteen men and women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer of the lung or airways at some point in their lifetime Studies show that lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer related death in 2007. These statistics and facts show that lung cancer is not something to be joked around with. Decreasing pollution and smoking habits could reduce the death toll of lung cancer dramatically.

Cancer is making many problem for human

Imagine going to the doctor for an annual check-up and having to leave knowing you have a rare form of cancer and have only a few months to live. Better yet, imagine being diagnosed with cancer and finding out it was all 100 percent preventable. Cancer is one of the fastest growing and possibly deadliest diseases that we are currently fighting. Genetics play a major role the development of cancer, but what most people do not know is that environmental effects indeed do play a large role as well. Dr. Hazel from Southampton General Hospital said, “Hazards to which people are exposed at work do contribute to increased cancer rates” . Today, we are living in a world where production and technology have reached all new heights and pollution is overtaking our environment; therefore, affecting our overall general health. Advances in cancer have been linked to pollution in the environment and the lasting effects are nothing to hide. As long as the environment is ruined and the overall health of our world declines, cancer will win the battle over humanity. Cancer can originate from a variety of ways, both environmentally and unknown, but it is our responsibility to terminate the disease.

Hair treatment

Some people want to reduce the amount of body hair they have. Intense pulsed light therapy is a method that can achieve permanent hair reduction. IPL treatment can permanently reduce large and small areas of body hair. Any areas can be treated except those next to your eye. Many people use these treatments to remove hair from their upper lip, chin, bikini line, neck, chest, back, stomach, legs, under arms and arms.

We understand that this type of treatment may be new to you and we want to make your experience as comfortable and rewarding as possible. Your skin care specialist will perform the treatment by focusing the beam from the laser or device onto an area of your skin. The hair follicle absorbs the light and heats up, destroying the hair and preventing re-growth. Following hair removal, you may be given an ice pack to reduce redness and swelling, and you'll need to avoid direct sunlight on the treated area for a while.

lung cancer treatment

Lung cancer treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of therapies. One of the most important factors to consider when planning your treatment is the stage of the cancer. An isolated tumor in the lung may be treated with surgery while cancer that has spread to other parts of the body may be treated with chemotherapy.

Another important factor to consider is your performance status. Performance status is a medical term that a doctor uses to describe how you perform your daily tasks. The more active and independent you are, the better your performance status is, and the more likely you are to tolerate certain treatments.

Treatment of breast cancer

Methods of treatment for breast cancer are local or systemic. Local treatments are used to remove, destroy, or control the cancer cells in a specific area. Surgery and radiation therapy are local treatments. Systemic treatments are used to destroy or control cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy and hormonal therapy are systemic treatments. A patient may have just one form of treatment or a combination. Different forms of treatment may be given at the same time or one after another.

Surgery is the most common treatment for breast cancer. Several types of surgery may be used. The doctor can explain each of them in detail, discuss and compare the benefits and risks of each type, and describe how each will affect the patient's appearance. An operation to remove the breast (or as much of the breast as possible) is a mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is often an option at the same time as the mastectomy, or later on. An operation to remove the cancer but not the breast is called breast-sparing surgery or breast-conserving surgery. Lumpectomy and segmental mastectomy (also called partial mastectomy) are types of breast-sparing surgery. They usually are followed by radiation therapy to destroy any cancer cells that may remain in the area. In most cases, the surgeon also removes lymph nodes under the arm to help determine whether cancer cells have entered the lymphatic system.

In lumpectomy, the surgeon removes the breast cancer and some normal tissue around it. Often, some of the lymph nodes under the arm are removed.
In segmental mastectomy, the surgeon removes the cancer and a larger area of normal breast tissue around it. Occasionally, some of the lining over the chest muscles below the tumor is removed as well. Some of the lymph nodes under the arm may also be removed.
In total (simple) mastectomy, the surgeon removes the whole breast. Some of the lymph nodes under the arm may also be removed.
In modified radical mastectomy, the surgeon removes the whole breast, most of the lymph nodes under the arm, and often the lining over the chest muscles. The smaller of the two chest muscles is also taken out to help in removing the lymph nodes.
In radical mastectomy (also called Halsted radical mastectomy), the surgeon removes the breast, the chest muscles, all of the lymph nodes under the arm, and some additional fat and skin. For many years, this operation was considered the standard one for women with breast cancer, but it is very rarely used today and only in cases of advanced cancer in which the cancer has spread to the chest muscles.

Alcohol Syndrome

Why do even the most effective, well-run programs have treatment failures with motivated patients? One reason may be due to a problem that is sometimes difficult to see: organic brain damage. People with central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction have difficulty processing information, which can have a significant impact on how they respond to treatment. Such individuals may appear normal during routine assessment, but once they begin participating in treatment, difficulties soon become apparent that set them apart from other patients. In particular, there may be problems linking cause with effect, memory deficits, or inability to think in abstract terms -- all of which are important for treatment efficacy. If a program's resources are to appropriately address the issues of such patients, CNS dysfunction must be addressed at intake, and services must be tailored to meet special needs.

One cause of CNS dysfunction is prenatal exposure to alcohol, estimated to affect approximately one to three per 1000 people in the United States.
(FAS) manifests in three primary symptom categories:

* Growth deficiency of prenatal onset (height or weight);
* Central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, including microcephaly, delayed development, hyperactivity, attention deficits, learning disabilities and intellectual deficits; and
* A specific pattern of facial characteristics, including short palpebral fissures, thin upper lip and smooth and/or long philtrum. Individuals who are exposed to alcohol in utero and who display some, but not all, of these characteristics are often described ashaving possible fetal alcohol effects (FAE). The CNS dysfunction associated with FAS/FAE frequently causes attention problems, memory problems, affective problems and maladaptive behaviors such as poor impulse control.

Unless an individual exhibits the specific facial features and growth problems associated with prenatal alcohol exposure, it is often difficult to diagnose the disorder. Quite often, by adulthood, the normal maturation process has attenuated the characteristic facial features and growth anomalies. Consequently, only the cognitive and behavioral manifestations of FAS/FAE are left to serve as markers for the disorder. This situation not only makes diagnosis difficult, it seriously complicates treatment for impaired clients. Assessment procedures often address intellectual capacity, which can be determined by means of IQ testing. But assessing behavior is more complicated and more time consuming. However, if patients with FAS/FAE go unrecognized, treatment failure is almost certainly guaranteed. Such patients cannot deal easily with the concepts and abstractions that typically comprise most programs and often have difficulty following through on basic rules (e.g., abstinence) that are far more concrete.

Possible Side Effects of Erythromycin

Side effects of erythromycin can include gastrointestinal problems and allergies. Liver problems can occur, especially in patients with preexisting liver disorders. Some cases of dangerous heart irregularities have also been reported. Erythromycin should not be taken with terfenadine, astemisole or cisapride, as these combinations can greatly increase the possibility of heart irregularities. Nausea, vomiting, gastric pain, and abdominal cramps are also known side effects.

Pregnant Women

All pregnant smokers should be strongly encouraged to stop smoking throughout the entire length of their pregnancy. Cutting down the amount smoked is NOT sufficient. All pregnant smokers should be offered, at the very least, a minimal intervention (See below). Whenever possible, intensive counseling is recommended. It's never too late to quit smoking during pregnancy. Health benefits, for both the mother and fetus, can be obtained throughout the entire 9 months.

The same behavioral interventions that have been shown to be effective with all smokers should be applied to the pregnant smoker. Remember the Five A's:

1. Ask every pregnant women about smoking -- some pregnant women may try to hide their smoking status or try to minimize their use.
2. Advise every pregnant women to quit early since this benefits the mother and fetus most. Quitting anytime (even late in pregnancy) will benefit both the mother and fetus.
3. Assess the willingness of the women to make a quit attempt.
4. Assist every pregnant woman by providing motivational messages, such as:
"This is the most important gift you, as a new mother, can give to your baby. It will be important to stay quit after your baby is born. Remaining smoke-free will keep your baby healthy. I would like to help you stop smoking today".
5. Arrange for follow-up to assess progress. Congratulate successes -- remind the woman that she is truly helping herself and her baby. Incorporate relapse prevention strategies since postpartum relapse rates are high even if a women maintains abstinence during pregnancy.

To date, nicotine replacement, as a form of treatment, has not been systematically evaluated among pregnant smokers. According to the 1996 AHCPR [now Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)] Smoking Cessation Clinical Practice Guideline, nicotine replacement should be used during pregnancy only if the increased likelihood of smoking cessation, with its potential benefits, outweighs the risk of nicotine replacement and potential concomitant smoking.
