One of the most common reasons for a dry vag is a decrease in estrogen levels during menopause, perimenopause, after childbirth, or during breastfeeding, but cancer treatments like chemotherapy and pelvic radiation can also lead to low estrogen and a decrease in vaginal lubrication. Chat with you...
Particle therapy with protons and hadrons probably accounts for less than 1% of radiation-therapy treatments whereas roughly 90 to 95% of patients are treated using electron linacs. These machines are much less expensive, costing between $1M and $5M, depending on the model and how good you ...

Phototherapy, also known as light therapy, functions similarly to sun exposure. It involves controlled bursts of UVA or UVB radiation delivered either in a dermatologist's office or specialized clinic. Phototherapy is typically added to the treatment plan when topical therapies prove less than effectiv...
Prostate cancer that has spread beyond its original site is, unfortunately,incurablein most circumstances. Treatments for this stage of disease are aimed at suppressing or controlling the cancer for as long as possible. However,studieshave shown stereotactic radiation therapy can be used to target dis...
Directly beneath is a (Zn,Cu)-rich precipitate-dissolved zone between the oxide and the matrix. Figure 3c shows the compositional profile across the oxide, (Zn,Cu)-rich region, and uncorroded matrix. An increase in Zn and Cu concentrations and depletion of Al is shown directly beneath the ...
Treatments for Epithelioid Mesothelioma Epithelioid mesothelioma treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The specific treatment plan depends on factors like the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and if (and how far) their tumors have sp...
Treatments may slow CLL and address its symptoms, but they can be draining, and so can the cancer itself. Those are some of the areas in which support can make a difference. Support can take many forms, including: Emotional assistance from loved ones, others with CLL, or mental health ...
For example, many transition metals can act as drugs themselves when excited by light radiation. Depending on the excitation process and the type of metal involved, when the absorbed energy is released, it can damage the DNA and/or modify the protein, promote lipid peroxidation and destroy the...
