The estimated lifetime risk of being diagnosed with the disease is 17.6% for Caucasians and 20.6% for African Americans. The lifetime risk of death from prostate cancer similarly is 2.8% and 4.7%, respectively. Because of these numbers, prostate cancer is likely to impact the lives of a sig...
In heart disease, normally the heart fails to supply sufficient blood to other parts of the body to accomplish their normal functionality1. Heart failure occurs due to blockage and narrowing of coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are responsible for the supply of blood to the heart itself2. A ...
To rule out any significant heart problems, cardiac counseling was requested by his physician, and the results of echocardiography and electrocardiography showed no significant abnormal findings. Brain MRI was performed that shows 2 foci of acute lacunar infarction in the subcortical areas of the right...
some of these cells may recover. There is also “mini stroke” (transient ischemic attack – or TIA) which is a temporary blockage that doesn’t cause permanent brain damage, but can cause stroke warning signs for minutes or even hours, and this is a warning sign that should be taken car...
Appendicitis means inflammation of the appendix. It is thought that appendicitis begins when the opening from the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked. The blockage may be due to a build-up of thick mucus within the appendix or to stool that enters the appendix from the cecum. The mucus ...
Thus, it is also possible that elevated Nrf2 resulting from Sag transgenic expression contributes to blockage of disease progression from the early precursor lesions. How Sag transgenic expression causes Nrf2 accumulation is unclear. Our previous study using a KrasG12D skin cancer model showed that ...

α waveform is diminished by opening the eye, sudden stimulus and attention, and a phenomenon known as alpha blockage or desynchronization. As α wave distribution and outcome are based on etiology, the EEG patterns which predominate in the α frequency band in case of unconscious or comatose ...
Keywords: cardiac oncology; mtDNA damage; telomerase; telomerase activity; heart failure 1. Introduction As chemotherapeutic agents are becoming more effective and the population of cancer survivors increases, the morbidities that emerge from chemotherapy treatment have become more clinically relevant [1]....
However, if these signs tend to worsen after consuming and it is becoming more difficult for you to consume anything without throwing up, you should consult your doctor. In some advanced cases of this cancer, surgery can be required to get over the blockage as well as improve digestion. ...
