Summary Introduction
To review:
The overall risk of cervical cancer, associated with the infection of cancer-causing HPV of any type from this graph. The graph given below has the cumulative incidence rate of cervical cancer correlating with the HPV status. It is studied in 20,514 women whose ages range from 16 years to older.
Introduction:
The cancer-causing cells are the abnormal cells that have lost the ability of controlled division. Cervical cancer occurs in the cervix of the human female. Cervical cancer is very common in women. The HPV (Human papillomavirus infection) is most commonly transmitted through infection.

In 2007, then–Texas governor Rick Perry became the first governor in the United States to mandate by executive order the vaccination of all Texas girls aged 11–12 for HPV, arguing that the vaccine prevented cancer. Some conservatives criticized Perry, arguing that the vaccine would encourage sexual promiscuity among children and young adults. The Texas legislature overturned the executive order, and Perry later reversed himself, saying the order was a mistake. Do you think states should require boys and girls to be vaccinated for HPV? Discuss reasons for and against such a requirement.
The vaccine Gardasil that targets human papilloma virus (HPV), the etiological agent of genital warts, was developed after the anti-HPV medication podofilox. Why would doctors still want a vaccine created after anti-viral medications were available?
What is the Coronavirus? Is it a living organism? How does it reproduce? The current vaccines that are being distributed in the United States are made by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. Explain how they work and how health officials believe they will aid in the pandemic? What should we expect as more and more people get vaccinated? Will things immediately go back to the way they were before? What is the Delta variant and how is it impeding on getting things back to "normal"?

- According to the article which was written before the COVID-19 vaccine was created, when do people turn to magic? How can this tendency, which happens across cultures and throughout history, contribute to the current spread of the novel coronavirus and its variants?arrow_forwardmajority of cancers in human are due to mutations in the p53 gene, however, cancers that are caused by human papillomaviruses doesn't. What is the reason why? please help, i am having a hard time understanding thisarrow_forwardHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common type of sexually transmitted infection in the world. It is estimated that more than 80% of sexually active men and women will be infected with some form of HPV at some point in their lives. The vaccine for HPV protects against the most common types of virus that are associated with cervical and anal cancer. The vaccine prevents about 99% of cancers and warts caused by HPV. Currently in Alberta, HPV vaccines are offered to all students in Grade 6. The vaccine is administered in three doses. Read the following statements related to the human papillomavirus and select the perspective it exemplifies in the drop-down menu. Pick either social, cultural, ethical or economic for each statementarrow_forward
- Different Viewpoints a person could take:Cultural perspective is based on specific cultural backgrounds. Social perspective would affect the society as a whole. Ethical perspective deals with moral viewpoints. Economic perspective deals with management of resources and cost-saving measures. Read the following statements related to the human papillomavirus and select the perspective it exemplifies in the drop-down menu. A parent worries that if the vaccine is given in Grade 5, it might encourage youth sexual activity. Answer HPV vaccination costs approximately $525, but it is free for all girls in Grade 5 to 12. Answer HPV vaccine has reduced the rate of cervical cancer by half. Providing HPV vaccines to all students in Grade 5 will help to improve the health of women. Answer If most of the girls in the target ages are vaccinated, they would provide a herd immunity for the rest of the population. Answer The Seventh Generation Principle of the Iroquois states…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the most likely explanation for an individual who lacks CCR5 as a result of a homozygous defect in the CCR5 gene becoming infected with HIV? a. The mutated CCR5 genes reverted to the normal form, rendering macrophages susceptible to macrophagetropic HIV variants. b. The macrophage-tropic HIV variant entered host cells using CD4 alone. c. The viral nucleic acid alone was taken up by cells, as in cell transformation by bacterial DNA. d. The individual had received a transplant of HIV-infected cells expressing normal CCR5. e. The primary infection involved a lymphocyte-tropic strain of HIV that used CXCR4 as its co-receptor.arrow_forwardHuman Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is considered an epidemic and can lead to lethal cancers. It is assessed that the risk of sexually active women to be infected sometime in their lifetime is nearly 80%. Prevalence of cervical cancer and high mortality rates, especially in developing countries, are alarming and require immediate attention. 1. What co-factors have been identified to have roles in the progression of human papilloma virus infection to cervical cancer? Limit your explanation but make it concise and connected.arrow_forward

- Madison Tavistock, a healthy 2-year-old living in Cincinnati, had attended the Wee Folks Daycare Facility for a year. Her parents joined an anti-vaccination group when she was 9 months old, 3 months before the recommended immunization schedule for the MMR vaccine, but after Madison had already been vaccinated with DTP. They strongly believe that the unsubstantiated risk of autism reported for MMR vaccination outweighs the benefits, and consequently have opted not to have their daughter immunized. The best explanation for why Madison has not contracted measles even though she has regular contact with other children in a large city is that _____. a. Madison is tolerant to measles antigens. b. The measles virus may have infected Madison but is dormant. c. The DTP vaccine provides cross-protective immunity against measles. d. The other children in the daycare center have been vaccinated and she has herd immunity. e. The attenuated measles virus in the MMR vaccine received by…arrow_forwardIdentify one correct statement re. human papillomavirus in the followings: HPV-6 causes genital wards, the latter will become cancerous All HPV types can transform infected cells There are more than 1 correct answers in the other choices Coinfection with 2 types of low risk HPVs can transform the infected cells High risk HPV types can transform infected cells and are oncogenicarrow_forwardMarie Curie was a famous French-Polish scientist known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Her work not only brought her fame but her death as well; she developed aplastic anemia due to radiation exposure. She experienced recurrent and prolonged infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal). Apart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Marie Curie also experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Explain the reasoning behind these other signs and symptoms that Curie experienced. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive? Which blood groups can she not receive? Explain why.arrow_forward
