Karley Hoff Professor Kotsko English 103 26 September 2013 Research Proposal Paper 1.My Topic The topic I want to research for my paper is Pancreatic Cancer. 2. What I Already Know I know that this is a cancer of the pancreas‚ which is an organ in the human body. I do not know a lot about the cancer or the actual organ itself. Though I have been affected by pancreatic cancer personally; my aunt was diagnosed with this cancer and later passed away from it. Through this experience‚ I saw that

When two positive carriers have a baby there is a 25% chance a baby will not have CF and not be a carrier; a 50% chance that the baby will have CF; and a 25% chance the baby will be a carrier and not have CF (see Fig.1). Cystic Fibrosis causes the mucin-containing cells of the Lungs and the pancreas to produce

the good healthy body tissue. With type 1 diabetes‚ an infection causes the body to falsely attack the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. The occurrence to develop autoimmune diseases‚ including type 1 diabetes‚ can be passed down through families. When several islet cells are destroyed your ability to produce insulin is little. Insulin is a hormone that comes from the pancreas a gland located behind and below the stomach. The main role of insulin is:

Type 2 diabetes is generally called adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependant diabetes. This is the most common type of diabetes. People of any age can develop the forms of Type 2 diabetes‚ lots of people have this without being formally diagnosed with it. Type 2 diabetes the pancreas loses the ability to create enough

Oral hypoglycemic agents stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin. In order to use oral hypoglycemic medication your pancreas have to function a little bit that’s

TYPE 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes develops because the body’s immune system destroys beta cells in a part of the pancreas called the islet tissue. These beta cells produce insulin. So people with Type 1 diabetes can’t make their own insulin. Type 1 diabetes is what is known as a ’complex trait’‚ which means that mutations in several genes likely contribute to the disease. For example‚ it is now known that the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (AiM1) locus on chromosome 6 may harbor at least one susceptibility

The cystic fibrosis foundations says: “In people with CF‚ a defective gene causes a thick‚ buildup of mucus in the lungs‚ pancreas and other organs. In the lungs‚ the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections‚ extensive lung damage and eventually‚ respiratory failure.

Early treatment of insulin deficient patients was feeding them fresh pancreas and pancreas extracts. Theses treatments were ineffective as the insulin was destroyed by the digestive tract. Banting was intrigued by this disease and eagerly began to search for a way to provide the body with insulin to allow sugar into cells. All cells
