Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is an initiative in medicine that falls under the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM, 2013). The role of NCCAM is to identify complementary and alternative medicine practices using laborious scientific approaches and develop an evidence base that outlines the safety and effectiveness of such practices (Lubkin, 2012).

Alternative Medicine

According to the NCCAM website (2013), alternative medicine refers to medicine, which has been developed using a non-mainstream approach instead of using conventional medicine. For instance, the use of special diets to treat cancer, as opposed to going through chemotherapy or surgery is a form of ...

Introduction

The Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) pathway is one of the most important signal transduction systems in a cell. This pathway regulates a lot of the fundamental processes of the cell including cell growth control and also cell death. The ERK pathway’s basic structure includes a couple of phosphorylations. The pathway provides a channel for the passing of signals from receptor that is located on the cell surface to the DNA inside the cell nucleus.
The signal transduction process through the ERK pathway is a complex process. Initially, the signaling molecule, that is, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) usually binds itself to a receptor ...

The urinary bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine for a temporary period until it is passed during urination. Bladder cancer is a common cancer affecting the urinary system; and bladder is the most commonly affected cancer site in the urinary system. Most of the bladder cancers originate at the urothelium, which is a layer of mucosa lining the bladder (cancer.net). It is very common in the regions of the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common carcinoma. Approximately, 2% of bladder cancers are adenocarcinomas and 0.3% to0.7% are small cell carcinomas(Medscape).

Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Healthcare has been experiencing tremendous transformations in the recent past, and this can be attributed to the changing health needs of the people.

One approach of delivering care services is by focusing on a family, identifying the specific health needs of such families, and developing plans of treatment that are focused on ...

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the reasons why men do not go to the doctor as often as they should, and discuss potential solutions to this problem. This discussion looks at the potential reasons why this gap exists, and suggests a number of ways that medical services can offset this gender difference to better protect men from disease. Factoring in issues of cost as well as the rates of gender-specific disease, it becomes clear that men visit the doctor significantly less often than their female peers, even controlling for outside factors. This lack of medical help ...

Uranium (U) element was discovered by a German chemist, Heinrich Klaproth, in 1789. Uranium is a radioactive element with an atomic weight of 238.02891 and an atomic number of 92. The uranium element initially discovered by Heinrich was an oxide, uranium oxide. A French chemist, Eugène-Melchoir Péligot, was the first person to produce pure uranium by reacting it with potassium in a heated platinum crucible. The element’s radioactive properties were established in 1896 by a French physicist known as Antoine Henri Becquerel. Currently, uranium can be extracted from various ores such as carnotite (K2(UO2)2VO4· ...
