The mediators of the human stress response are commonly found within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and it is through this pathway where the body is coaxed back into homeostasis after exposure to stress (28). This axis is regulated through the synthesis and secretion of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) from the hypothalamus, which through a ligand-receptor interaction on the anterior pituitary gland, stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) into the systemic

INTRODUCTION What is Cancer? A common misconception about cancer is that it is a relatively new disease. Cancer, like many diseases have been prevalent in the populations of many species, not just humans, for millennia.

Cancer seems to be tightening its grip in India & worldwide. Recently, an estimated new cancer cases were recorded to be 14.1 million & cancer deaths were of 8.2 million in the world, of which nearly 7,00,000 were recorded in India alone, according to “The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, Lyon. Cancer is a complex group of diseases which makes cells in the body to change and grow out of control. These changes starts

The main reason this project was chosen is to learn more about plant life, and learn more about agriculture. One of the biggest epidemics involved with agriculture would be world hunger, around 795 million people around the world are starving and out of these 795 million people, 3.1 million of them are children. There are 2 main reasons why world hunger exists, why there is about 1/9 of the entire world’s population going to sleep hunger. One of these reasons is money to purchase food, many people

Overtreatment is one example of a negative associated with having too many doctors. With overtreatment among these two groups becoming fairly

Abstract Aim of this project is to study opportunities and challenges of novel biosensor technology for cancer diagnosis/prognosis and how people perceive the technology in relation to the risk involve. Study shows the earlier cancer is been perceived in a person, there is a higher chance of there being a cure for it. Lately, most cancers are detected and diagnosed after it has fully grown. Hence, sensitive and accurate methods for early detection of relevant biomarkers for clinical diagnosis are

Cancer (noun): a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in any part of the body. Cancer cells often cumulate in one section of the body and then begin its journey to over-take its victim. Although, the battle for a cancer-stricken individual will test his or her strength and resilience, it will also put the strength of the family to test.
