Cancer

     The way how cancer cells are different from normal body cells is that cancer cells have small cytoplasm, multiple nuclei, has multiple and large nuclei, and coarse chromatin. Normal cells have large cytoplasm, single nucleus, single nucleolus, and fine chromatin. Also cancer cells have a more irregular shape than normal body cells. Cancer cells are abnormal cells that divide continuously and they can attack other surrounding tissue. Normal body cells, on the other hand, continue to divide until they make contact with each other and then the cell stops dividing. Cancer cells have lost the ability to know when to stop dividing that is why they divide without stop. Normal body cells have a

Alcohol Abuse

The reason why I think that alcohol is the most widely abused dangerous substance in the world is because it is available almost everywhere. There are advertisements that are constantly persuading people to drink for their own pleasure. People can’t advertise drugs because they will get arrested by authorities. But governments and authorities think it is okay to advertise alcohol. For some people drinking alcohol has been something that has been done within their own family for many generations and now those people think that it is okay because it has become a habit or tradition. Another reason can be because there are ample quantities of alcohol that can be produced at an inexpensive cost. Other dangerous substances are most likely harder to produce.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)

What is lupus? Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that has the ability to damage mostly any part of the body like the skin, joints, and various organs in the body. There are four types of lupus: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, Drug-induced Lupus Erythematosus, and Neonatal Lupus. An individual’s genes might increase the chance of getting lupus. But that only happens if specific environmental factors starts the disease or causes a flare. The environmental factors that can trigger lupus are: ultraviolet rays from sun or fluorescent light bulbs, sulfa drugs(increases an individual’s sensitivity to the sun, antibiotic drugs, an infection, cold, an injury, emotional stress, and

Cancer Treatment

Cancer is a dangerous disease and it can sometimes be life threatening and it would be too late to do anything medically. According to the type of cancer, it spreads to other parts of the body reducing the survival rate dramatically. A person who finds a tumor on any part of the body should see a physician immediately. The failure to have a physician to check out the tumor will lead to more problems that cannot be reversed later on. For something as deadly as a tumor, the time is clicking and the sooner you show the tumor to a physician, the more chances of survival. The main purpose is to not let the cancer in the body progress to the last stage. In the medical field, the doctors know more on how to treat earlier stages of cancer where they have a handful of options on how to remove the tumor. But in the last stages of cancer there is only a narrow chance of survival. Doctors would end up saying that you will have only two more months to live. That is why it is extremely important to have a physician to check out the tumor on any part of the body. Delaying treatment would allow the cancer to spread throughout the body and the organs and doctors will not be able to do almost anything, thus leaving the cancer incurable.
