has lots of references and is updated when new information comes out or when what was previously written in the book has now become outdated. Journals – A journal is subject based and is written by experts and professionals.

epidermis and dermis (McLafferty et al., 2012). When the cells that compose these layers are damaged in some way, for example by UV radiation, the cells can begin to mutate uncontrollably and form malignant tumours (Skin Cancer Foundation, 2014). If not treated in its early stages, skin cancer can develop in a subject and lead to a failure of the integumentary system. When an organ such as the skin fails, it will go into a state of complete dysfunction causing damaged thermoregulatory control, hemodynamic

Susan introduces and explores the literal meaning of illness by citing evidence of the widespread treatments to cancer and tuberculosis patients. She argues in the chapter 1 that “cancer patients are lied to, not just because the disease is death sentence, but because it is felt to be obscene” (9). Susan organizes the discussion centering on the theme that illness divides people apart in the

I-Search Project: A Search for the Right Cure I know of basic brain cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and tumor removal, but once a brain tumor has been left untreated for an extended period of time, death is usually inescapable. Sometimes even when cured in time, the brain tumor may return later. I imagine that with theoretical future technology or recent technology, brain cancer may be fully treatable. As stated by President John F. Kennedy, “Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose

occurrence is about 1%. Not only are HPV vaccinations safe, and effective but in today’s society it seems that they have become necessary. “An estimated 493,000 cervical cancer cases occur each year with 274,000 deaths. More than 80% of cervical cancer deaths worldwide occur in developing countries. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women”. If there is a cure of this kind of epidemic, it is evident that it is necessary. Along with the pros to the HPV vaccine there are a lot of important

SPECIFIC AIMS: Pancreatic Cancer is currently one of the deadliest cancers in the world. In the United States alone, Pancreatic Cancer was the fourth leading cause of death among males and third in females causing 19,480 and 24,530 deaths respectively (Siegel et al., 2013). It has a five year survival rate of less than three percent in the United States (Siegel et al., 2013). This is mainly due to late diagnosis, surgical difficulties, aggressive metastases and resistance to apoptosis (Li et al.

conjunction with news media and public health institutions has been spending millions of dollars in order to increase awareness on the benefit of early detection of breast cancer through the BRCA test. While some scholars have highlighted that early testing is beneficial because it enables women to know their risk of breast or ovarian cancer, other researchers and bioethicists have questioned the benefits of such tests citing that their costs often exceeds their benefits. In this report, I will subject myself

Article I chose for week four assignment, is from The Journal of Public Health," Benign breast disease and subsequent beast cancer". 1. State the type of study that was conducted (see methods section of article, it must be one of the above study types). The article used prospective cohort.

She grew up within walking distant of the Capitol in an apartment above her father’s small restaurant and at the age of 21 she was Chief of Staff. That was the beginning of her rise as a political force. McWilliams worked for Public Strategies
