Should Animal Be Used to Test Medical Procedures and Treatments That one Day Maybe Effective on Humans The harmaful uses of animals in testing is not only cruel but often ineffective. Animals do not have the many types of cancers humans enconter, or HIV, Parkinson's diease even Schizophrenia. Many animals receive testing for different substances that is never actually seen approved for public use or consumption. It seems that the animals tested dies in vain because there is no

On September 7, 2016, the scientific news article “Experimental drug could stop melanoma, other cancers, research suggests” found on the website ScienceDaily portrayed hope for cancer patients and an important achievement for researchers. The article was based on a research led by Tarek Abbas, doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and other scientists from the University of Virginia Health System. The research discovered great potential in an experimental drug called Pevonedistat that is effective against

Marijuana is illegal in fifty states because of its classification as an illicit drug, but controversial issues have been established that this “illicit drug” has improved the course of treatment for suffering patients. Marijuana has beneficial effects when used in medicinal scenarios for the treatment of pain; thus it should be an administered drug for patients who can benefit from the use of this drug. Marijuana has undergone analysis for its use as a medicine and the results have shown improvements

aiming to elucidate the potential of 5-ALA/PDT to target the genetic materials of MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cell lines effectively after inducing cytotoxicity and genotoxicity by two cytogenetic parameters; micronucleus test and alkaline comet assay. In this experimental study, we will elucidate the potential of 5-ALA/PDT to target DNA and induce DNA damage to the genetic materials of MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cells and record cytotoxicity and genotoxicity by micronucleus test and alkaline comet assay. 2

medical humanities. The film tells the story of an intellectual, Vivian Bearing, being diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, the treatment, and how she is stripped of her personal and professional status in the name of being a patient. A major theme of this film is its portrayal of the human condition in a state of dependency and need by chronicling Vivian's experimental treatment through first-person narrative, the film allows the viewers a peek into the world of a patient suffering

During the course of breast cancer treatments, most patients will undergo radiotherapy. Many women who undergo radiation therapy may develop a skin reaction in the area receiving radiation. The reaction is like sunburn, the skin turns pink or red and there also maybe peeling. The effect of deodorant on breast cancer therapy has generated significant interest in Oncology and in the scientific community. While the exact mechanism linking deodorant use to skin toxicity is yet to be determined there

Fertility Treatments as a Solution to Infertility Making big choices in life can be difficult, especially if that big choice is having children. There are many men and women who are infertile that still want to have children. Most decide to adopt other children who do not have families or their families do not want them. But when adoption is not an option, there is now a way where those men and women can have their own children together through fertility treatments. Fertility treatments could be

scientists as a potential therapeutic drug for obesity and its amino acid sequence is CKGGRAKDC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2. Adipotide has a molecular formula of C111H204N36O28S2. Peptidomimetics are tiny protein like chains that imitate peptides. It is an experimental drug for weight loss. It was developed in a way that enables it to bind to two receptors, prohibitin and ANXA2 which are found in blood vessels that support white adipose tissue. In rat and monkey based experiments, Adipotide has been shown to

progress at the cost of sacrificing animals. Some people hold the idea that we can replace the method of animal experiments, such as use the method of design model from the molecular level. For example, in the treatment of some serious illness, using animal experiment has missed a lot of treatment. If we modified the illness in molecular level, some diseases can be cured. From the point view of medical researchers, animals used in medical research cannot be replaced. Even if there are really a lot of

with Breast Cancer Coping has been closely connected to stress; it involves a process by which a person attempts to restore balance in response to a stressful life event (Henderson, Gore, Davis, and Condon, 2003). The most common cancer among Canadian women in 2010 is breast cancer. An average of 445 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and an average of 100 Canadian women will die of breast cancer every week (Canadian Cancer Society, 2010). Coping with breast cancer has been defined
