Gold nanoparticles in breast cancer treatment: antibodies and aptamers Nasirli Ilkin University of South Florida PHA6146.002F17 Nanotechnology Abstract Cancer has a major impact on societies world-wide. In 2011, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States, and approximately 595,000 people died from the disease (DeSantis et al 2011). Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer for women in the United States (US). The biological usage of nanoparticles

America should not use "fire and fury" on North Korea, because of the effects of Nuclear weapons and the fact that the leader of the country we’re trying to attack is a lunatic because he has killed his own family while in power (biography.com). The people Kim Jong un has killed that were that “close” to him while in power were his uncle and his own half-brother (biography.com). To explain, Kim jong un is a crazy person with nukes which is not a good combination. However, Kim Jong Un is crazy which

Collagen-Tannic Acid beads for potential treatment of ER+ and HER2+ breast cancer Project Summary In the United States, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. The investigation into effective post-surgery treatments for prevention of breast cancer recurrence and tissue restoration is paramount. Current post-lumpectomy therapies are purely cosmetic, involving breast reduction or simply reconstructing the breast with traditional silicone implants. There is a great need for a medical

ability to hone in on a characteristic pattern of smells associated with certain types of cancers better than any current technology commonly referred to as ‘electronic noses’. By looking at the pattern of smells in samples, dogs can correctly identify them as cancerous and can be applicable for a non-invasive cancer screening. Dog training Training a dog to detect the presence of chemical markers of cancers is no simple task. In one study, six dogs of varying breeds and ages “completed a seven month

HINTS is an acronym for Health Information National Trends Survey and its purpose is to collect cancer-related data on a national level (HINTS, 2007). The goal of HINTS is to assess how information pertaining to cancer is accessed, how the risk of developing cancer is viewed by the public, how the course of communication has changed, and how the patterns of health has changed through the course of the past several years (HINTS, 2007). Once data has been collected, researchers are able to gain a better

Program: Review The Every Woman Matters Program was created as a tactic to fix the current suboptimal levels of cancer screening for women in Nebraska. Researchers found that even though low income level women understood the importance of these types of screening, this specific type of comprehension did very little to push women towards getting screened for these types of cancers (Backer et al., 2005). This is of course understandable: women in low income households are more likely to have a host

Cancer is one of the most ambiguous diseases. As Jenny Phillips, a researcher in the thoracic oncology field, said, “I think the thing you need to know most about cancer is that we don’t know that much about it.” Yes, it is known that cancer is the uncontrollable division of abnormal cells, but how can it be stopped? That is the question. There are a number of treatments for this disease. There are the traditional treatments: chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. There are also nontraditional

sadness and shock. In the journal, “Strategies to ensure effective and empathetic delivery of bad news,” Carole Palmer discusses about delivering bad news to patients with lung cancer or mesothelioma at diagnosis. “Effective communication is paramount in the health professional and the patient” (Palmer) because it allows the “development of a rapport, facilitates the exchange of information, and is central to informed treatment decision making and patient autonomy.” Lung cancer and mesothelioma are

chemotherapy, which is commonly used as a main treatment for cancer patients. Research has shown it can be effective in combating the side effects of chemo therapies used in various cancers. A common side effect experienced while being subjected to chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting. In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, “Anecdotal accounts suggested that smoking marihuana decreases the nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapeutic agents” ( N Engl J Med 293). Furthermore

cure for cancer (Wall Street Journal 2018). Since then, China has already successfully cloned two infant macaques (MIT Technology Review). China’s initiative in gene editing technology has set forth a race with the United States for the development of gene editing therapy. Gene editing promises mothers that they can save their children from genefits defects and cancer patients that they can be cured. Although the inception of gene editing technology provides tremendous hope to many cancer patients
