de Art Writ, December 28th, 2011

Milk has always been very helpful in building strong bones because it contains calcium. Furthermore, it contains a lot of nutrients, like vitamins, minerals and proteins that aid in the body’s health. This substance indeed has benefited society and is considered essential to about 6 billion of people globally. However, together with the onset of technology, several substances have also been identified in the recent years which are hazardous to health which may be contained in the food we eat and even in the liquid we drink. Milk is not an exemption. Recent news stated that a cancer-causing toxin was found to have excessive levels in milk, produced by one of China’s foremost dairy companies.

Immune Response of the Body against Cancer

de Art Writ, December 28th, 2011

Every year, there are reported cases of individuals who are diagnosed of having cancer. And, although there were already studies which focused its attention on the major risk factors that can be contributory to the initiation of the over growth of cells which results to the malignancy known as cancer, still the reason behind the development of cancer is left unknown up to this date. Hence, many researchers and experts are continuing to conduct further studies in order to have a deeper understanding about the disease. Also, researchers are now focused on newer treatment modalities which can be used in order to cure disease in the most convenient, cost-effective, and efficient way.

Study: Tumor’s Response To Treatment May Be Measured Optically

de Art Writ, December 21st, 2011

Cancer has always been known to be a deadly disease. In 2008, 7.6 million cancer related-deaths were recorded. Indeed, treatment seems to be that complicated. This is one of the reasons many studies are conducted in treating this disease. Several cancer treatments are targeting certain proteins which thrive outside of some malignant cells. However, these treatments are inadequate, and the cancer does not respond sometimes. It is indeed very helpful if physicians will know the cancer’s response to therapy, in a fast, precise, and cost-effective manner. The researchers from the Vanderbilt University have found a new optical method in testing cultured malignant cells’ response to certain cancer medication. Their findings can be seen in the December issue of Biomedical Optics Express, the Optical Society’s (OSA) open-access journal.

In what could be a possibly ground-shattering breakthrough research, which has the potential to transform the way cancer treatments are done, U.S researchers just revealed that they found out a way to keep the tumor cells alive in the lab.

Cancer cells don’t usually thrive in laboratory conditions and hence studying them or administering proper diagnosis was an issue. Previously doctors have relied on biopsied tissue frozen into wax to recommend treatments. With the possibility of cancer cells thriving in labs, scientists can help doctors to come up with much better treatment and also observe the cancer cells more closely that could lead to further breakthroughs in cancer research.

Skin Cancer Risk Heightened By Chronic Bowel Disease Drugs

de Art Writ, November 28th, 2011

Medications are very important part of the treatment regimen when a person is having a disease and wants treatment for that disease. It is a must that an individual must know the possible side effects and adverse effects of medications he is taking to ensure safety is being forwarded at the end of the day. However, the use of certain medications is very crucial because of its content which can put great deal of discomfort to a certain person. Many medical health care professionals and researchers are conducting further studies regarding the safety and effectiveness of these medications. It must be ensured that those patients who are taking these medications should get benefits rather than detriments from the treatment. Recently, another 2 studies regarding medications tackled that the use of chronic bowel disease drugs can actually increase the risk for skin cancer.
