Faith Lowe Period 6 Can Cancer Tumors be starved to death? For scientists to even think about answering the question‚ Can Cancer Tumors be starved to death? They have to first find out what tumors need to grow‚ what can kill a tumor‚ and what happens when a tumor is a solid. For a tumor to grow it must obtain from the body’s blood supply all the food and nutrients it needs to make more cancer cells. If a tumor doesn’t get the food and nutrients the it won’t grow. To get these foods and nutrients

assessment should be given the priority because the patency of airway is extremely imperative since airway obstruction is life-threatening. If airway obstruction is not treated‚ hypoxia and brain damage may occur (Malamed 123). Complete airway obstruction may result in permanent brain injury‚ which may be followed by hypoxia and eventually death within 3-5 minutes

surfactant has been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity in infants with RDS. Lack of surfactant leading cause of pulmonary complications in the neonate‚ also lungs become stiff and non-compliant. Also lack of surfactant causes energy loss‚ hypoxia‚ and hypoventilation. There are other neonatal lung disorders in which inadequate functional surfactant may be a prominent element of the pathophysiology either by in activation or inhabitation of synthesis. These include meconiunm aspiration syndrome

ADHD Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity. ADHD is broken down into three subtypes: predominantly inattentive ADHD‚ predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD‚ and combined type ADHD.

Describe the process that leads to each of the cellular adaptations (atrophy‚ hypertrophy‚ hyperplasia‚ metaplasia‚ and dysplasia) (5 answers total 8 points each‚ 40 points total) Atrophy is the decrease in cell size due to stress or injury. If enough cells undergo atrophy‚ an entire organ can become atrophic. There are two types of atrophy: physiological and pathological. Physiological atrophy occurs during early development while pathological atrophy can be caused by a number of factors including

overproduction or underutilization. The quantitative dimensions of these two mechanisms commonly differ by 1 order of magnitude. Overproduction of lactic acid‚ also termed type A lactic acidosis‚ occurs when the body must regenerate ATP without oxygen (tissue hypoxia). Circulatory‚ pulmonary‚ or hemoglobin transfer disorders are commonly responsible. Overproduction of lactate also occurs with cyanide poisoning or certain malignancies. Underutilization involves removal of lactic acid by oxidation or conversion
