explains how the doctors at the Hopkins hospital are working on getting a cure for cervical cancer. Their idea to cure cancer is to treat the tumor before it has become cancerous; they use Pap smear as a way to prevent cancer. It also explains how radium was used to destroy the cancer and many other things but it also kill the person that was been treated with that. The doctors at the Hopkins hospital start doing their own medical studies from patients without their consent. They also start using

of Howard W. Jones examined Henrietta and the lump in her cervix. He removed a piece of her tumor without telling her and sent it to pathology. Soon after‚ Lacks learned she had a malignant epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix. She was treated with radium tube inserts‚ which were sewn in place. It was during her radiation treatments where they removed two more pieces of her cervix - one healthy and one not - without her permission. The cells from her cervix were given to Dr. George Otto Gey. Dr.

that the alpha and beta rays were tiny particles of matter. Rutherford then showed that the beta particles were electrons. In 1908 Rutherford demonstrated and made an airtight glass tube with very thin walls‚ and filled it with the radioactive radium emanation. Alpha particles could penetrate the thin walls of the tube and were collected in a second tube. Rutherford was then inspired to investigate more into Alpha Particles. Rutherford then began using alpha particles to investigate further

priceless. When I did the research for this exam‚ I realized that many discoveries in chemistry would be used in medicine to prevent or to cure human diseases. For example‚ I respected Marie Curie‚ the female scientist who discovered the element radium. That element is used in X-Ray to diagnose diseases; in Radiotherapy‚ a treatment method using in Oncology; and in Radiopharmacy‚ “the use of radioactive drugs for diagnostic or therapeutic purpose”

However‚ for millennia fire was simply a mystical force that could transform one substance into another while producing heat and light. Fire affected many aspects of early societies. These ranged from the simplest facets of everyday life‚ such as cooking and habitat lighting‚ to more advanced technologies‚ such as pottery‚ bricks‚ and

The musculoskeletal system has many functions to it because it is actually two systems that are put together; muscular and skeletal. The organs that are in these systems are skeletal muscles‚ bones (joints‚ tendons‚ and ligaments). By dividing the two systems into different sections‚ it will make it easier for you‚ the reader‚ to understand and make sense of the information. The muscular system functions are to provide movement‚ protects organs‚ and production of heat. There are many muscles that
