Why is the Incidence of Lung Cancer Increasing in Females? Name Institution Why is the Incidence of Lung Cancer in Male Decreasing and Increasing in Females? Lung cancer has been a major problem between males and females. However, the incidence of this disease in males has been reducing, it has rapidly been mounting in females. Current research notes that cancer rates in women will increase six times more quickly than in men over the subsequent two decades. Notably, lung cancer is the leading health problematic for females, not only outstanding to its extraordinary prevalence speed but also more deaths and distressing (Torre et al., 2015). This paper will discuss the main reasons why the...

Consequences of Duodenal Ampulla Blockage by A Tumor Name Institutional Affiliation The ampulla of Vater or the hepatopancreatic duct is a union of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct. This duct is found on the major duodenal papilla. The hepatopancreatic duct is an essential organ found halfway along the duodenum's second section that symbolizes the anatomical transition to the midgut from the foregut. This is where the celiac trunk ceases supplying the gut, and the superior mesenteric artery assumes this role (Kim et al., 2008). Through this ampulla, different smooth muscle sphincters control the movement of the bile and pancreatic juice flow. Hence, its blockage will significantly...

FETAL CONGENITAL DEFORMITY NAME: COURSE: INSTITUTION AFFILIATION: Bacteria, parasitoids or infections are some of the reasons for congenital diseases and abnormalities. Congenital deformities are described as slight bending or distortion of shape in an organ (A to Z dictionary n.d., para.1). Generally, it includes a deficiency in amniotic fluid protecting a fetus from the tension of the endometrium and may be as a result of leakage or inability to provide enough liquid (The health line 2018, para.6). They can be transferred to the fetus or newborn in two ways: either by the embryonic membrane or birth passageway while delivering. Deformities are peculiarities of the human figure that occurs...

Name Instructor’s Name Course Date Abstract Johnsongrass is a perennial grass that is native to the Mediterranean. The weed was introduced as forage in the early 1800s. The Johnsongrass is majorly found in cultivated fields, reserve lands, abandoned fields, and hayfields. The Johnsongrass is popularly known with its cyanide poisoning effect on livestock. It causes poisoning when it undergoes stress from wilting, chemical spraying or when it is cut. Since it can affect a wide area of a field and cause destruction to crops and livestock, specific methods have been applied to control its population. The methods include biological, cultural, mechanical and chemical methods. Results have shown...

Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Fermentation Ethanol fermentation is a pathway responsible for the production of a variety of foods and drinks. The primary agent of fermentation in this experiment was the yeast plant which ferments sugars to carbon dioxide and alcohol. As predicted by the hypothesis the addition of sucrose is proportional to the level of fermentation which is tested by the release of gas. Subsequently, an increase of both the gas release and substance X are observed. The experiment is not dependent on the concentration of the substrate. In prior tests by Rhind et al. (7), the researchers succeeded in proving that sucrose is directly proportional to the carbon...

Name Course Instructor Date Current Events Who were the winners of this year’s noble prize in physiology and medicine? (2018) This year’s Nobel prize in Medicine and Physiology was jointly awarded to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo. What were their contributions to science? James P. Allison developed a new way of treating cancer patients. Upon studying and investigating a known protein and the role it plays as an immune system brake, he realized that there is away this brake can be released, leading to the unleash of immune cells to attack malignant cells (“The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2018”). On the contrary, Tasuku Honjo also discovered a unique protein on the...

TAY-SACHS DISEASE by (Name) The Name of the Class (Course) Professor (Tutor) The Name of the School (University) The City and State where it is located The Date Introduction Tay-Sachs disease is a disorder that damages the nerve cells that are responsible for the brain function. It is a genetic disorder and is responsible for most of the spinal cord diseases. The most common types of Tay-Sachs diseases include the infantile Tay-Sachs disease that becomes known after six months (Karacan et al., 413). This affects a child who displays the inability to turn over or crawl. The child cannot sit in many cases. A seizure and loss of hearing follow the symptoms. The child loses his or her ability...
