At present human clinical trials – a pharmaceutical service, are underway.Listeria monocytogenes is a deadly bacterium commonly found in soil, stream water, sewage, plants, and food and is responsible for causing listeriosis – a lethal food-borne infection with a fatality rate of 25%. On the other hand, the Salmonella bacterium, which, some time back, made headlines by tainting tomatoes nationwide, has a less than 1% mortality rate. Further, the…

Cervical Cancer Statistics Who
Cervical Cancer Statistics Who We here classify the stages from I to IV based on the cancer’s specific characteristics, and find out which course is suitable for which stage. Cervical Cancer Statistics Who By stage I, we mean the cancer is confined to a single ovary (stage IA) or both ovaries (stage IB). In stage IC, one or both ovaries can be affected, but the tumors are on the surface, or the capsule is ruptured, or tumor cells are found in abdominal fluid. Treatment for patients with stage IA and IB includes surgical removal of the uterus and both ovaries…

Should you get a screening test for prostate cancer?
Should you get a screening test for prostate cancer? Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American males. In 2010, approximately 217,730 patients are estimated to be diagnosed with this malignancy. An estimated 32,050 will die of this disease. There is much uncertainty about the benefits of screening for prostate cancer. This is because in some cases, this malignancy does not affect life expectancy. Another major consideration is the significant side effects that accompany treatments for this disease, such as incontinence and impotence. This past year…

Vegetarian Recipes: Vegetarians and Cancer
Vegetarian Recipes: Vegetarians and Cancer You might have a general idea that eating a vegetarian diet is more healthy for you. But do you really know how much less the incidence is of certain types of cancers among vegetarians?
Vegetarian diets—naturally low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and replete with cancer-protective phytochemicals—help to prevent cancer. Large studies in England and Germany have shown that vegetarians are about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat-eaters.
In the U.S., studies of Seventh-Day Adventists, who are largely lacto-ovo vegetarians, have shown significant reductions in cancer risk among those…

Plastic Surgery For At-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
Plastic Surgery For At-Risk Breast Cancer Patients An article appearing in the January/February issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal suggests that patients considering elective breast surgery would gain ultimately improved results after being assessed for breast cancer risk. The article also provides guidelines for plastic surgeons to help women determine breast cancer risk, as well as the most successful options for surgical intervention and breast reconstruction. There are many risk factors associated with breast cancer, family history probably being the most prevalent. Although these risk factors don’t always mean any woman can or cannot get diagnosed with breast cancer. Estimates…

Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer involves cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and the appendix. It is the third most common cancer in the world.

Cell Phone Radiation Inhibits Estrogen And Cancer
Cell Phone Radiation Inhibits Estrogen And Cancer Studies have also shown that electromagnetic radiation inhibits the production of a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin regulates the sleep cycle and is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It is produced about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Consequently, melatonin levels rise at night and remain low during the day. Melatonin has many useful effects but the most common is that of regulating the sleep cycle. When cell phone radiation, or other EMR, inhibits this important hormone the sleep cycle is compromised. Could this be one reason why so many people today…
