you know that colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for both men and women? And, with the use of a colonoscopy, colon cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer. While the American Cancer Society encourages everyone who is over the age of 50 to have a colonoscopy, a colon screening may be needed for younger individuals who have a problem with bleeding from the rectum, iron deficiency anemia, chronic diarrhea, or unexplained, rapid weight loss. Colon cancer does not
An Interpretation of My Sweet Old Etcetera by E.E. Cummings' "my sweet old etcetera" is part of E.E. Cummings' "is 5" collection of poetry, which was published in 1926. This poem and most of Cummings' other poetry was known for its typographic innovation. One will definitely notice that there are only two capitalized letters in the whole piece and not one period. The only punctuation mark present is the comma, creating pauses in the speech. Basically the whole poem is a big run-on sentence
long period of time (Peaston). The straining of bowel movements can cause small pouches or sacs called diverticula to form, which is called colonic diverticulosis. A person is not diagnosed with diverticular disease when diverticula forms in their colon, but when the diverticula causes lower abdominal pain (Peaston). 10 to 25 percent of Americans who are diagnosed with diverticular disease developed diverticulitis, a more serious stage of diverticular disease (Meerscharet). Diverticulitis occurs when
Colon Cancer What is the disease? Colon and rectal cancer develop in the digestive tract, which is also called the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract. The digestive system processes food for energy and rids the body of solid waste matter (fecal matter or stool). Colon cancer and rectal cancer have many features in common. Sometimes they are referred to together as colorectal cancer. Over 95% of colorectal cancers are ad enocarcinomas. These are cancers of the glandular cells that line the inside of the
Herring Dietetics and Nutrition 203 Lisa Steward 23 February 2014 Diverticular Disease of the Colon Diverticular disease of the colon is characterized by three conditions that are involved in the development of diverticula, or outpouchings, in the muscular wall of the large intestine. These diverticula form in areas of the colon that are weakened by waste, gas or liquid and usually appear in the sigmoid colon, which is an area of high-pressure. The three conditions that lead to the onset of the disease
Eighth grade was one of the greatest school years of my life. This year was full of new experiences, and I have learned so much from them. In English class, we’ve learned a bunch of skills and did numerous activities. We learned about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. We had the opportunity to read many great books, all having a special and unique meaning to them. Our class also learned a variety of skills and strategies ranging from reading comprehension tips to learning how to use the comma. ELA this
High fibre diet helps to prevent constipation. It helps in constipation release and is the main reason for strain in colon to move stool. The extra pressure can cause weak spot in colon to buldge (diverticulae). Diverticulitis occurs when a bacteria infects diverticulae it becomes diverticulitis. The original cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown. The immune system of the body reacts to certain genetically
Writer’s Reflection As I sit here and ponder over the last semester, I smile remembering what my thoughts were before I started. I was excited thinking about joining this semester, noticing that I had English 111 as one of my courses. This will be a breeze I thought. Writing and I go together hand in hand well, and I bet this will be one of my favorite courses that I’ll ace with flying colors. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but I think that was because I didn’t realize what all goes into writing

Frances Y. Rivera Professor Montalvo A & P II 4 May 2015 Colon Cancer CANCER is a medical term to describe an abnormal growth of cells. Abnormal cells that are able to grow and divide, but unable to die as normal cells do. COLON is a medical term for the large intestine. Together COLON CANCER is a disease used to simply state an abnormality of cell growth within the large intestine. Colon cancer has contributing risk factors, preventative factors, symptoms and various treatments/solutions according
have the inflammatory disorder diverticulitis. This includes bleeding, and can become severe and life threatening. Diverticulitis causes approximately 3500 deaths annually in the United States. Diverticulitis occurs when bacteria found inside the colon cause infections in the diverticula along the intestinal walls. Scientists do not know why infection occurs in only some diverticula and not others. A possible theory is that the sacs are caused to erode by pressure or build up, or a bit of both. This
The poetry of Emily Dickinson is one of the most recognizable of the 19th century. Dickinson’s poetry stands out because of its unconventional use of capitalization and punctuation. Her poems contain capitalized words which are not normally capitalized. Her poems are noted for the frequent use of the dash. Literary scholars have attempted to interpret Dickinson’s unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Some believe that it was merely part of Dickinson’s penmanship (Weisbuch 73). They therefore

This brochure is specifically targeted for adult women and men, aged 50 and older with the special considerations of African American population beginning at age 45 and those who have had a family history of colon cancer to screen 10 years prior to when the family member had precancerous polyps, cancer or the age of 40 whichever comes first (Indiana University Health, 2012). This brochure opens by briefly illuminating of what the lifetime risk of developing
Location & Structure The liver is the largest organ of the body weighing in at about 3 pounds and about 6 inches thick. With this size the liver is very resilient. The liver is a red-brownish organ that is shaped like triangle. The liver is located at the top of the abdomen on the right side of the body just below the diaphragm. The structure of the liver is built up of four lobes. The two main lobes are the right and left lobe. The right lobe consist of the two remaining lobes the quadrate and
Charles G.D. Robert’s poem “The Skater” evokes a euphoric and spiritual feeling through the description and personification the speaker applies to the wintry wilderness around him. The use of couplets ensures the poem is read smoothly and effortlessly, similar to the act of skating leisurely through the forest; while alliterative word pairings add to the flow and the mood of the poem by creating a world that sounds fantastical in its description, yet realistic and capricious in its characterization
Abstract Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, it is not a surprise that when Frank C. Garland proposed in 1980 that colon cancer risk is related to decreased Vitamin D levels in individuals, researchers worldwide rushed to test out his hypothesis. One environmental factor important in the production of Vitamin D, and therefore colon cancer research, is sunlight. It is common knowledge that exposure to sunlight is crucial for animals to make vitamin
1. A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth a. The Authors, members of the Curtis Lab at Stanford University, propose and justify the Big Bang model for colorectal tumor growth. This model is dependent on several characteristics found in samples including the absence of selective sweeps, uniformly high intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) and subclone mixing in distant regions. The model concludes that mutations occurring early in the tumor development will have a larger effect on overall tumor
speed, of waves on water in a tray, and how this speed is affected. Waves can be longitudinal, when the particles move in the same direction as the direction of the wave, or it can be transverse, when the particles move at 90o to the direction of the wave. Water waves are transverse waves even though transverse waves cannot travel through liquid. This is because the waves travel on top of the water. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to find out how wave speed is affected by the depth
4) Quality of Service- This attribute can specify bandwidth and end to end performance requirements. It uses SLAs that deliver end-to-end performance matching the requirements for voice, video and data over converged business and residential networks. This gives wide choice and freedom of bandwidth and QoS options. 5) Service Management- This gives ability to monitor, diagnose and centrally manage the network, using standard based vendor independent implementations. We can get rapid service provisioning
