ethical principles and laws were followed by Dr. Perry Hudson's research on the "Bowery Bums?" Do you agree/disagree with his methods? You must defend your answer.
First and foremost, Hudson's work did not solicit informed consent from the subjects. The subjects were poor, desperate, alcoholic men who did not fully understand the research that was being conducted upon them. Hudson did not inform the men of the physical consequences of what he was doing: "he did not warn the men he was recruiting that the biopsies to search for cancer could cause impotence and rectal tears. Or that the treatment should cancer be found -- surgery to remove their prostates and, often, their testicles -- had not been proven to prolong life" (Nazaryan 2013). Even if he did, their state of mind would make them unable to consent. Medical research should minimize the risks to subjects and the risks should…...

Cancer Facts
The author of this report will be describing and covering the basic facts and facets of cancer and its diagnosis. Indeed, cancer strikes many people and would behoove everyone to at least know the basics about it and be empowered if/when they must face it themselves in the form of a personal diagnosis, that of a family member or that of a friend or other colleague like a coworker. The topics that will be covered in this brief report include how cancer is diagnosed, how the use of stages lays forth what "level" the cancer has reached in terms of lethality and severity, the common complications of cancer, the side effects of treatment and the methods that are common used to mitigate the physical and psychological effects of cancer. While there are ways to mitigate and otherwise deal with the ravages of cancer and the treatments used for the…...

Many of its advocates have proposed corn ethanol as a fuel source capable of running an automobile engine or a warehouse of machinery. Indeed, according to Holt-Gimenex, "biofuel champions assure us that because fuel crops are renewable, they are environment-friendly, can reduce global warming and will foster rural development. But the tremendous market power of biofuel corporations, coupled with the poor political will of governments to regulate their activities, make this unlikely." (Holt-Gimenez, 2)

These ulterior motives of the above-mentioned biofuel companies will enter into the discussion as the research process advances and will be illuminated with the interest of scrutinizing ethanol for the inefficiency of its production process. The study would set out to prove that corn ethanol is a poor choice for the replacement of petroleum.

Aromatherapy as a Cancer Treatment
The use of complementary alternative therapies in combination with traditional care for the management of cancer patients and other diseases is becoming better recognized among health care providers the world over. There is debate over the efficacy of alternative treatments in general however, due to a lack of quantitative studies related to health benefits. According to proponents, aromatherapy may provide relief to cancer patients from several perspectives. Aromatherapy may provide stress relief, palliative, and anxiety/depression reducing. The claims made for use of aromatherapy are generally backed by patient testimonials related to their perceived well being after treatment. These ideas are explored in greater detail below:

Aromatherapy may be defined as utilization of distilled essential oils from plants for health purposes. Generally aromatherapy oils are used as a means to improve the mood and health of patients in a clinical setting. For cancer patients, essential oils have been…...

Handling Objections

Herceptin is a recently developed drug used in the treatment of HE2-positive breast and gastric cancer that has metastasized. HE2 is human epidermal growth factor receptor and when found on the outside of cancer cells it promotes tumor growth. Approximately 20% of tumors express HE2-positive characteristics. If untreated this cancer has the potential to reproduce rapidly, reducing the chances for recovery and presenting a faster time to relapse than HE2- negative cancer (oche Laboratories, 2012).

Herceptin works in a similar way to the body's natural immune systems. It recognizes foreign invaders and binds to them, protecting the body from them in the future. Herceptin is specifically designed to attack cancer cells rather than other invaders. Herceptin also reinforces the body's own immune system to break the tumor cell membrane and cause cancer cell death (oche…...

Introduction

Cancer and Women’s and Men’s Health Cervical cancer is a kind of cancer that takes place in the cells of the cervix, which is basically situated in the lower part of the uterus that links to the vagina. It is imperative to note that different strains or forms of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, have a role to play in giving rise to a great deal of cervical cancer.
Available Preventative Services
The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) gives the recommendation of screening for cervical cancer in women between the ages of 21 years to 65 years with pap smear for every three-year period. It is also recommended for women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who wish to prolong the screening period, and therefore screening with a mixture of cytology and human papillomavirus testing for every five-year period. In the same manner, the task force…...

Diagnosis

In almost all cases, the disease, cance, is diagnosed by a specialist following a micoscopic examination of tissue o cell samples of a paticula individual. In a few instances, physicians may know of the pesence of a cance with the aid of tests pefomed on DNA (deoxyibo-nucleic acid), RNA (ibo-nucleic acid) and cell poteins. Such tests' outcomes pove highly citical when it comes to selecting the optimal theapeutic altenative. Tissue and cell examinations may also aid in the diagnoses of a numbe of othe foms of ailments. Fo example, if a physician is unsue of whethe a paticula lump o gowth in a patient's body is cance, he/she might extact a little bit of it fo testing to diagnose any one of many poblems, including cance, infections and othe issues which may lead to the development of cance-like lumps.

Cancer and Treatment
The identification and treatment of cancer as well as the care provided the patient are essential aspects of quality care nursing. Cancer is a complicated illness that progresses in stages and takes both a physiological and psychological toll on the patient. This paper will discuss the act of diagnosing cancer, the stages of cancer, complications that can arise, available treatments, and recommendations for addressing physiological and psychological side effects of care.

Diagnosing cancer is the first step in treatment. Diagnosing consists of performing laboratory tests of blood and urine along with imaging procedures, which take pictures of target areas within the body and allow the physician to see any tumors that are growing. Imaging processes such as CT scans, ultrasounds, MIs, PET scans, nuclear scans, and x-rays are common practices and methods of diagnosing cancer. Performing a biopsy is another important step in the method of diagnosing whether a…...

The mandate of community health nurses will be scrutinized, to help acquire general knowledge on efficient management of diseases.

Cancer is a disease, which has characteristics of growths that cannot be controlled, and also the abnormality of how rapidly the cells are spread to other organs. Cancers vary in their areas of diagnosis such as breast, throat,…...

Care of Cancer:
In the past few years, cancer has developed to become one of the major leading causes of deaths across the globe. The disease can be described as the uncontrolled growth or development of abnormal cells in the body even as cancerous cells are also known as malignant cells. Since cells are the building blocks of humans and other living things, cancer develops out of the normal cells within the body. Generally, the normal cells multiply when needed by the body and die when the body does not need them. When the growth of the cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly, cancer appears to occur. Nonetheless, cancer also appears to happen when cells in the body forget how to die.

Causes of Cancer:

There are various kinds of cancer because the disease can develop in nearly every tissue or organ like skin, bones,…...

Care of Cancer
Cancer diagnosis

In many cases the sooner cancer is diagnosed and treatment begins the better the chances of a person recovering fully. If one develops cancer they can improve the chance of early detection if they have regular medical checkups and do some self-exams. Doctors often find early cancer during a physical exam or when carrying out routine tests even when there were no symptoms presented.

There are several methods that are used to diagnose cancer .with technological advancement these methods are now better as they help in a better understanding of cancer .there are now many diagnostic tools that can be used in cancer detection. Once cancer I suspected a diagnosis is made by pathologists and oncopathologists and imaging radiologists. The common diagnostic methods are;

Medical Advances in Cancer Treatment Research
This paper discusses the medical advances in cancer treatment research. The writer explores several treatment options and compares them to treatment options of the past. There were two sources used to complete this paper.

There was a time when a diagnosis of cancer meant a death sentence. The word still strikes a chord of fear among the millions each year who are told they have it, but in recent years there have been many advances in medical science that allow many who would have died from the disease to live long and full lives. There are more cancer survivors now than ever before and treatment options continue to be made available.

In the past there were only two options for the treatment of cancer. One could have surgery and one could be given a course of radiation treatments. The surgery was for the purpose of removing the…...

Care of Patients With Cancer
Diagnosis and Staging of Cancer

Because cancer is a complex disorder that often progresses over long periods of time -- including long periods before an actual diagnosis can be made -- it is very useful to medical practitioners to identify various stages in the progression of the disease. Diagnosis may occur as the result of presenting complaints that cause a patient to seek medical help, or diagnosis may occur when routine check-ups lead to a suspicion by a physician or a laboratory specialist that a more thorough investigation is indicated. Indeed, one of the reasons why certain procedures are included in routine annual physicals is because these tests result in a diagnosis at sufficiently high rates to make them worth conducting. As medical technology advances, the procedures are modified accordingly -- and sometimes the frequency standards for these procedures are modified, as well.

The nomenclature used to indicate…...

This has been the traditionally used mode of treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas, but the fact remains that there have not been many clinical trials conducted that would reveal the benefits of CHOP in comparison to various other chemotherapy options for the treatment of CLL, which is a very slowly growing form of cancer and is therefore conversely very difficult to treat and cure because of the fact that all the traditional methods of treatment, whether chemotherapy or radiation, are meant to quickly and rapidly destroy the fast growing cancerous cells. (Cancer Treatment and Prevention)
Curing a patient with the CLL or SLL forms of cancer is considered to be highly unusual, but it is true that these patients will b able to lead productive lives even after 6 to 10 years after the cancer have been diagnosed for them. A patient when he is making the choice of treatment for…...

Music therapy is a form of therapeutic intervention that uses music as a tool to help individuals with various health and psychological conditions. It has been shown to have a variety of positive effects on people, including improving mood, reducing anxiety and stress, and enhancing overall well-being.
One study by Bradt et al. (2016) conducted a meta-analysis of the effects of music therapy on psychological outcomes in cancer patients. They found that music therapy had significant positive effects on mood, anxiety, and quality of life in cancer patients, suggesting that it can be a valuable adjunct to traditional cancer treatments.
