calculation is derived and compared with the 2-D numerical solution solved by Finite Difference Method (FDM). Also, the effect of variable tissue properties in the tissue region of tumor and healthy tissue is determined and the effect of a large blood vessel is also determined. INTRODUCTION Cancer is a malignant disease that can cause death if not treated on time. Hyperthermia is a treatment in which Electromagnetic (EM) waves are used to heat up the tissue containing the tumor for therapeutic purposes

clotting material in the blood). Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease (CVD) around the world. The magnitude of this problem is so high that atherosclerosis claims more lives than all types of cancer combined and the financial burden are considerable1. It a complex, chronic pathological

Project Background (500 words) The placenta is a fetal organ that is vital for the growth of the fetus during pregnancy. Abnormalities in placental development can result in pregnancy complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia (PE), which affect one in ten pregnancies in New Zealand. IUGR occurs in 3-5% of all pregnancies, and is associated with an assortment of increased risks of its own, such as hypoglycaemia, hypothermia, developmental delays and increased

age of 50. Every ten years after the age of 50 the prevalence of this disease increases exponentially. Many different factors contribute to the development of AMD including genetic, environment, and metabolic functions. Aside from smoking, abnormal blood pressure, and an unhealthy diet low in fruits and vegetables, many more studies are concluding that similar inflammatory and oxidative processes seen in other age related diseases are also playing a key role in the development of AMD. This disease

and the blood vessels. The blood vessels are the arteries, capillaries, and the veins. The various diseases that fall under the term cardiovascular disease include coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure, high blood pressure and stroke. The more common form of cardiovascular disease is Coronary Heart Disease or Coronary Artery Disease. The Coronary Artery

Though CVD might seem like a death sentence for many Americans, it does not have to be. Though there is no cure for CVD, there are plenty of ways for one to prevent or manage CVD. The biggest factor in everyone’s life that causes CVD is poor lifestyle. There are also a few medications and surgical procedures that can be administered or performed to keep one’s CVD in check. As mentioned before, smoking is the number one most preventable form of death in the United States. Thus, CVD patients should

CAD. This is because there is a thinning in the lumen of the blood vessels due to plaque or fat build up. Constriction of the vessels causing an increase vascular resistance. Vasoconstriction increases systemic blood pressure, hence, previous history of hypertension. Smoking is one of his major symptom that is seen for his condition. Hypertension is the abnormally in high blood pressure and we know smoking is a factor of increase in blood pressure. Diagnosis of CAD foresees that there is an insufficient

of epithelium that lies on the interior surface of lymphatic vessels and blood vessels, which are vascular endothelial cells and lymphatic endothelium. Vascular endothelial cells have different functions, such as helps to regulate blood clotting, maintain the vascular homeostasis, produce vasodilating properties substances or hormones (e.g. NO) to control the blood pressure, and repair the diseased or damaged via injection of blood vessel cells. Evidence from many scientific studies shows that there

Night crawlers have something that no other animal has. They have five pairs of hearts. The hearts pump blood with the earthworm's muscular contractions. Only two main blood vessels make up the earthworms body. The ventral blood vessel sends blood to the rear end of the worm. The dorsal vessels pumps blood to the front end of the body and blood travels through the ventral vessels into the capillaries on the body wall and the many other organs. Anatomy The body of the earthworms is considered

What is Atherosclerosis Disease?Well Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries.Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of your body.The Atherosclerosis Disease is caused by high blood pressure,smoking,or high cholesterol.Did you know that about 360,000 people will die from the Atherosclerosis disease each year. Nikolai N. Anichkov was the one who discovered the Atherosclerosis disease.Atherosclerosis was discovered in
