It all started about 6 years ago over the summer; I have been staying with my grandmother and my older sister for about a month, and during that time, we were always happy and having fun, my grandma was completely healthy for someone her age always in a happy mood and active. I remember one day we were walking outside talking about what we wanted to do or be when we grow up. As we were walking around her garden, she started complaining about her chest hurting so I offered to go and get her some water. I ran inside and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and ran back to her, I saw her sitting on a bench clutching her chest, she tried to stand up but she almost fell over. My sister and I rushed to her side and walked back to the house when, we got inside we yelled for our aunt to come down stairs and told her what had happen. After that, I do

Conducting medical research on cancer patients for the effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapeutic agent like methotrexate(MTX), and then dosing leucovorin to neutralize the effects of the toxic chemo, should this be done supervised for accurate documentation and safety in a hospital or should the patient be allowed to self-medicate with the leucovorin at home, for the comfort and convenience of the already ill patient.

Last Wednesday, I shadowed Jennifer, Amy, and Laura on the eighth floor Infusion Clinic for four hours. Jennifer was the first nurse there that morning. She graduated from Marion University and developed her IV skills with a mentor while working in Interventional Radiology. On that unit, a lot of the patients had Chronic Kidney Disease, so hand IVs were performed to save patients’ arm veins for dialysis. She does not have any additional certifications related to IVs. She enjoys working in the infusion clinic because she loves oncology. Her number one tip for starting IVs is to always try on a patient because facing a challenge is a great way to learn.

In August 2009 M.W. a 56 year old female, was diagnosed with a stage II-B adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head, ductal type, with perinueral invasion, with two of nine lymph nodes involved by direct extension and positive margin. Shortly after diagnosis, she received the Whipple procedure followed by treatment with gemcitabine and 5FU chemoradiation. She was diagnosed later with a regional cancer recurrence in the retro portal space nestled between the portal vein, the inferior vena cava, the superior mesenteric artery, and the left renal vein. It is possible this recurrence was nodal in origin rather than in the autonomic neural sheath surrounding the artery which is the typical region of recurrence. Subsequently, she was treated with six cycles of Folifirinox with 5FU adjuvant followed by an additional four cycles ending in May of 2012. Following this treatment, a CT scan showed improvement of her disease. A few months later she received a partial cycle of Abraxane with Gemcitabine. In the first few months of 2014, she was enrolled in a

This study represents one year follow-up of two prospective groups of patients. Group A (potentially septic wounds-peritonitis) included 80 patients, 64(80%) males and 16 (20%) females. Group B (Aseptic wounds-IPHge) included 80 patients, 60(75%) males and 20 (25%) females. All patients (160) of group A and B underwent urgent midline laparotomy. As regard to socio-demographic data which are shown in table(1). There was insignificant difference between the two studied groups regarding gender [as shown in fig.(2)], residence and country. Both studied cohorts included more men than women. The mean age of group A was 39.14 years(15-77) versus 29.83 years(15-75) in group B (P=<0.0001)[as shown in fig.(1)]. 54(67.5) patients were

Chemical induction of Breast tumors is done by injecting 20 mg of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) mixed with 0.5ml sunflower oil and 0.5ml saline to induce breast cancer in each rat. A single dose injection of DMBA to be given subcutaneously into the right side of breast in all test group except control.The dose of DMBA is repeated once a week untiltumors were induced. (Anbuselvam C., VijayavelK.,2007)The tumors were induced after a lag time of 45 Days.

Dear Johnny: I think that you should do whatever you did when you got your first brain tumor. Then later you should also maintain a certain type diet that do not consist of too much sugar, sodium and fried food. You should also do some exercising but only do that if your body can handle it. And as for you academics I think that you should take care of your brain tumor first.

The most common psychological and emotional responses to cancer arise from the knowledge of life-threatening diagnosis, its prognostic uncertainty, and fear of dying. The stigma due to cancer and its consequences adds to the negative reactions to the disease. Oncology nurses can advocate for patients in health promotion and further disease prevention. A qualitative study by Chamerland et al. (2014) aimed to analyze the effect of knowledge provided by the health care workers before and after surgery of lung cancer patient. The research was conducted by a leading semi-structured interview with ten patients and eleven health care providers before and after the operation. Within the discussion, various questions were asked. The study discussed

The second section of the book focused on the chemical industry, specifically vinyl chloride, where it was explained there was little known about the effects of chemicals. Because of this, there was the question of whether “a product was to be considered safe until proven dangerous” or vice versa where a product was considered dangerous until proven safe. This time the public showed greater opposition to the use of vinyl chloride, as environmentalists and labor unions united to reveal the harmful effects of it. Similar to the lead industry, the chemical industry also fought back reasoning to the government that only high levels of chemical exposure was harmful to people and the government
