Some recent studies have reported that people diagnosed with Lupus have a significantly increased risk for Cancer, particularly leukemia and lymphoma. While this may make sense, at first glance, based upon the fact that Lupus is an autoimmune disease and, therefore, the immune system is compromised, there is still some question remaining as to whether higher incidents of leukemia and lymphoma occur in Lupus patients than within the general population. Exploring this topic would involve analyzing the incidence of comorbid Lupus & Cancer compared to Cancer in the absence of Lupus and Cancer in comorbidity with other autoimmune disorders.
Lupus is a rare and crippleing disease. This disease is as rare as it is hard to undertand. Lupus being a not well known disease is hard to pinpoint. This disease causes insufferable pain and body problems. Such a terrible disease causes syptoms like swelling muscles, joint pains, general inflamations, organ failures, and overall fatigue. Lupus is an autoimmune disease ( AKA the autoimmune sytem attacking itself). This autoimmune disease is most common in youge woman in birth bearing age. With little known reason
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also referred to lupus dates back to the middle ages and has made an explosion in the past 60 years. Even though more than 1.5 million Americans have lupus and 90% of lupus sufferers are women, between the ages of 15 to 44 (Lupus Research Institute), there is little awareness about the disease. 72% of Americans aged 18-34 have either not heard of the disease or know nothing about it (Medical News Today). However, researchers continue on working to have a better understanding of SLE factors, pathophysiology, current treatment and new prospects for treatment.
Systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease. This condition causes the body to mistaken its own tissues and organs as foreign bodies and begins attacking them causing continuing inflammation and pain. (Huether & McCance, 2012) The cause of SLE still remains unknown, but it is possible that is inherited as a complex trait or caused by environmental stimuli. (S) Anyone is at risk for Lupus, but is more common among women than men and is more prevalent of African Americans and Asians. (National Library of Medicine 2010, para 2) This condition can be difficult to diagnose, as a patient must present a number of the recognizable symptoms. Depending on the location that Lupus presents itself in the body, the symptoms
The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the Georgia Council on Lupus Education and Awareness (GCLEA) partnered to increase community awareness on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and to further educate lupus patients throughout the underserved region of southwest Georgia. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, the most common form of lupus, is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack needed body tissues (“Lupus,” 2018). This specific type of lupus affects major functions of the body including the brain, lungs, skin, and kidneys. Lupus is commonly difficult to diagnose in humans due to its vague symptoms that mimic the symptoms of other major conditions (‘Lupus,” 2017). Presently, researchers are unaware of the origins
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-organ autoimmune disorder that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. A large body of evidence has shown that African Americans experience the disease more severely than other racial-ethnic groups. We performed a systematic review in the PubMed and Medline Databases of articles published between January(?) 2000 – December 2014 to evaluate research focused on SLE in African Americans. Articles were classified according to their level of evidence. Our literature review reported a wide range of adverse outcomes in
No one ever said raising a child would be easy. If you are a first time mom, and was looking for a hand manual at the hospital, you probably got a dose of reality when you were told—there is no such thing. There is no need to worry by the time your second child comes along, you will have child rearing in the bag. So, just what do you do when the nurses hand over your bundle of joy and tell you it’s time to take your baby home?
About 1.5 million people around the globe suffer from the (sometimes deadly) disease, Lupus. Lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks a perfectly normal tissue. Some side effects of lupus include: loss of hair, depression, sensitivity to the sun, rashes, and countless more. Our main focus is the rashes/skin portion of the Lupus disease. More than 42 percent of people with Lupus develop rashes among the skin. Our client, Kaitlyn, suffers from this disease Lupus. She receives severe rashes upon the face, this is called a butterfly rash when you get it on your face. It typically happens across the nose and cheeks, which makes it a butterfly rash. Some other spots
Humans experienced numerous problems throughout history. Some of these problems were natural disasters, war, hunger, or diseases. Nevertheless, these problems are caused by nature or other humans, but now humans recognized another problem that is caused by the human himself, it is called autoimmune diseases when the human himself becomes the enemy. One of the most known autoimmune diseases is lupus that has many characteristics and symptoms that can affect someone's life greatly.
In these cases, we saw even though they are minors that if the courts wanted to hold juveniles accountable for their crimes as they would adults then guidelines had to be set to ensure the violation of juvenile liberties are not continued. We can see the cases that set the precedent for changes in the juvenile justice system for example, the graph below:
Lupus is known as “the cruel mystery” in the world of disease/medicine. 1.5 million Americans are currently diagnosed with Lupus, with the number possibly being a lot higher since it is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose in the WORLD (5 Million some form of Lupus)
Do not seek for the answers that cannot be given, for you would not be able to live them, and the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now, and perhaps, without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into the answers (Paul J. Donoghue 47).” Talk about quote. “Lupus can cause serious kidney damage; kidney failure is one of the leading causes of death among people with lupus. If your brain is affected by lupus, you may experience headaches, dizziness, behavior changes, hallucinations, and even strokes or seizures. Many people with lupus experience memory problems and may have difficulty expressing their thoughts (Lupus).” Having lupus also increases your risk of “Infection, cancer, bone tissue death, and pregnancy complications like miscarriages. But thank god when I got pregnant with my third child, Brandon, he come out perfectly. I was so lucky and happy,” said Kizzy
While lupus may not be that common, it still affects more people each year. About 5 out of every 1000 people have been diagnosed with lupus and around 4 out of those 5 are women of color. Nearly 1.5 million americans are affected with more than 16,000 new cases being reported each year across the country. It is most common to hit people between the ages of 15 and 44, mostly affecting women, though men can develop the disease as well.
In conclusion Lupus is definitely a very serious disease that we must learn more about. My great aunt had Lupus for over ten years and during that time suffered in ways no person should have to. She would fall down constantly and break bones. Near the end of her life, she would break bones doing stuff as simple as getting out of bed.
The architecture of ancient Greece is the architecture produced by the Greek-speaking people whose culture flourished on the Greek mainland, the Peloponnese, the Aegean Islands, and in colonies in Anatolia and Italy for a period from about 900 BC until the 1st century AD, with the earliest remaining architectural works dating from around 600 BC. Nikolaus Pevsner refers to "the plastic shape of the temple.....placed before us with a physical presence more intense, more alive than that of any later building". There is an abundance of high quality white marble both on the mainland and islands, particularly Paros and Naxos. This finely grained material was a major contributing factor to precision of detail, both architectural and sculptural,
