Stages of lung cancer
Lung cancer affects over 200,000 people each year and while smoking is a major cause, anyone can develop lung cancer. There are two main types of lung cancer - non-small cell lung cancer which accounts for 85% of cases, and small cell lung cancer which occurs in 15% of cases and is more strongly linked to smoking. Staging lung cancer involves determining how large the cancer is and if it has spread, with stage 1 being small and contained in the lung and stage 4 being widespread throughout the body. The stages help doctors determine the appropriate treatment approach.
Pustular lesions
A carbuncle is a cluster of boils caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection entering hair follicles. It presents as a swollen, painful lump with pus-filled openings on the back of the neck, shoulders, or thighs. Carbuncles are deeper infections than single boils (furuncles) and can cause fever and general illness. Treatment involves antibiotics, incision and drainage of large lesions, and preventing further contamination. Complications may include sepsis if bacteria spread through the bloodstream. Noma (cancrum oris) is a rapidly progressing gangrenous infection of the mouth affecting malnourished children in developing countries. It is caused by a combination of malnutrition, poor
Lymes Disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged or deer ticks. In the early stages, it may cause a characteristic bullseye rash and flu-like symptoms. Later symptoms can include joint and muscle pain, heart palpitations, facial paralysis, headaches, and memory problems. Diagnosis is made through blood tests and clinical evaluation. Treatment involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Physical therapy can help manage pain and improve range of motion in the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of the disease.
Skin cancer power point
Skin cancer is the most common cancer, caused by exposure to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds. The two main types are non-melanoma skin cancer, which includes basal cell and squamous cell cancers, and melanoma, which can be more serious and spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include new growths or changes to existing moles. Early detection through regular skin self-exams and treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, are important to prevent skin cancer from becoming life threatening. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and use of tanning beds. Protecting skin from UV rays can help prevent skin cancer.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and can lead to death. It is caused by a defect in a gene that affects motor neurons in the spinal cord. The main symptoms are weakness in the shoulders and legs that gets worse over time. There are four types of SMA defined by when symptoms begin - from infancy to adulthood. Treatment focuses on respiratory care, nutrition, mobility assistance, and other support. SMA is a leading genetic cause of death for infants.
Raven cervantez cystic fibrosis presi
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. It is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which controls water flow in cell membranes. Symptoms include coughing, excess mucus in the lungs, fatigue, nasal congestion, and recurrent pneumonia. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on loosening mucus from the lungs through chest pounding and antibiotics.
Maple syrup urine disease
Maple Syrup Urine Disease is a metabolism disorder that prevents the breakdown of certain proteins, causing a buildup of amino acids in the bloodstream. People with this disease have urine that smells like maple syrup. If left untreated, it can cause brain damage, coma, and even death during times of physical stress. Treatment involves a protein-free diet with supplemental fluids, sugars, and fats through an IV if caught early, but outbreaks can still occur during stressful situations.
Cystic fibrosis corey
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by a defective gene that results in abnormally thick mucus. Symptoms often seen in childhood include delayed growth, failure to gain weight, salty-tasting skin, and weight loss. While most cases were diagnosed by age 10 in the 1950s, treatments developed by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation have helped people with cystic fibrosis now live into their 30s and 40s.
Canavan disease
Canavan disease is an inherited condition that affects the breakdown of aspartic acid in the brain, causing the brain tissue to degenerate into spongy tissue filled with fluid-filled spaces. Symptoms begin between 3-6 months after birth and include feeding problems, irritability, seizures, severe mental retardation, loss of motor skills, abnormal head and muscle tone, blindness, and inability to walk. There is no effective treatment for Canavan disease other than treating symptoms.
Canavan diesease dani beck
The Canavan disease is a rare genetic disorder where the myelin in the brain and spinal cord degenerates. It must be inherited from both parents, who are carriers of a mutation in the same gene. Infants with Canavan disease experience developmental delays, weak muscle tone, difficulty swallowing, and risks of seizures and blindness. There is no cure, though treatments can help slow progression. Life expectancy is usually between 3-10 years without treatment and up to the twenties with mild cases. Testing is available to determine if one is a carrier and at risk of passing on the gene.
Brian moore sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells become sickle shaped and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels. It was first discovered in the early 1900s. Symptoms include pain, swelling, fatigue, and infections. Treatments focus on preventing infections through antibiotics and managing pain. It is most common among those with African ancestry and is inherited when both parents carry the sickle cell gene. Special blood tests can detect if someone has the disease.
Blooms syndrome (wyatt evans)
Bloom syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by dwarfism, a reddish skin rash sensitive to sunlight, and a predisposition to various cancers. It is caused when mutations in both copies of the BLM gene are inherited from asymptomatic carrier parents. Approximately 1 in 50,000 people have Bloom syndrome, with about one-third of cases occurring in those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. While bone marrow transplants may help in some cases, there is currently no cure for Bloom syndrome.
Bloom syndrome
Bloom Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by short stature, sun sensitive skin changes, and increased cancer risk. It is caused by mutations in the BLM gene, which prevents proper maintenance of genomic stability and leads to excessive chromosome breaks and rearrangements (sister chromatid exchange). There is no cure, but preventative cancer screening and avoiding sun/radiation exposure can help manage risks. Affected individuals typically grow to less than 5 feet and have low birth weight/length.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.

The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

- 1. Werner Syndrome By Eric Brackney
- 2. What is Werner syndrome • Werner syndrome is basically a rare disease where the human body ages faster then normal • also known as progeria of the adult • This disease is so rare that only occurs to 1in 1 million individuals
- 3. what is werner syndrome continued • when someone has werner syndrome they will have a sort life • not only does the skin age but they organs of the body as age thus have a short life • at young adulthood the results of appearance is 30-40 years old
