colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Gut flora - Roles

Bacteria in the gut fulfil a host of important functions for humans, including breaking down and aiding in the absorption of otherwise undigestible food; stimulating cell growth; repressing the growth of harmful bacteria, training the immune system to respond only to pathogens; and defending against some diseases. Gut flora - Carbohydrate fermentation and absorption. Without gut flora, the human body would be unable to break down and use some of the carbohydrates it consumes, because some types of gut flor ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Diverticulitis - Incidence

In Western countries, diverticular disease most commonly involves the sigmoid colon (95% of patients). The prevalence of diverticular disease has increased from an estimated 10% in the 1920s to between 35 and 50% by the late 1960s. 65% of those currently 85 years of age and older can be expected to have some form of diverticular disease of the colon. Less than 5% of those aged 40 years and younger may also be affected by diverticular disease. Left-sided diverticular disease (involving the sigmoid colon) is most common in the West, while right-sided diverticular d ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer - Diagnosis

The Amsterdam clinical criteria or genetic testing can make a diagnosis. HNPCC is known to be associated with mutations in four genes involved in the mismatch repair pathway (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2). Mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 account for approximately 90% of detected mutations in families with HNPCC. Mutations in the MSH6 gene are seen in about 7-10% of families with HNPCC. Mutations in the PMS2 gene account for less than 5% of mutations in families with HNPCC. Up to 39% of families with mutations in an HNPCC gene do not meet the Amster ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Growth hormone treatment - Other GH uses and treatment indications

In the last two decades, GH has also been increasingly used for children and adults who are not severely deficient, either to enhance growth or for other reasons. Growth hormone treatment - GH treatment for other types of shortness. Many conditions besides GH deficiency cause poor growth. GH therapy has been shown to improve short-term growth in many conditions, but long-term height gains are usually poorer than those achieved when GH deficiency is the cause of shortness. Higher ("pharmacologic") doses are typically required to achieve ef ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Greg Mathis - Growing up in Detroit

Raised in the Herman Gardens housing project, Mathis was on the road to a criminal life as a teenager. His father was estranged from him, but associated closely with the Errol Flynns, a notorious Detroit street gang, that Mathis would eventually join while a teenager. In the 1970s, he was arrested numerous times. Yet when incarcerated in Wayne County Jail, as a seventeen year old juvenile, his mother visited him and broke the tragic news that she was diagnosed with colon cancer. This event changed Mathis, and he was given the benefit of a considerate judge, who offered probation if ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Prostate cancer - Treatment

Treatment for prostate cancer may involve watchful waiting, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, cryosurgery, hormonal therapy, or some combination. Which option is best depends on the stage of the disease, the Gleason score, and the PSA level. Other important factors are the man's age, his general health, and his feelings about potential treatments and their possible side effects. Because all treatments can have significant side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, treatment discussions often focus on balancing the goals of the ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Apple - Growing apples

Apple - Apple breeding. Like most perennial fruits, apples are ordinarily propagated asexually by grafting. Seedling apples are different from their parents, sometimes radically. Most new apple cultivars originate as seedlings, which either arise by chance or are bred by deliberately crossing cultivars with promising characteristics. The words seedling, pippin, and kernel in the name of an apple cultivar suggest that it originated as a seedling. Apples can also form bud sports (mutations on a ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Tocopherol - Current issues and controversies about vitamin E

Tocopherol - Vitamin E and heart disease. Preliminary research has led to a widely held belief that vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. Researchers are fairly certain that oxidative modification of LDL-cholesterol (sometimes called "bad" cholesterol) promotes blockages in coronary arteries that may lead to atherosclerosis and heart attacks. Vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease by limiting the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol. Vitamin E also may help prevent the formation ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Cancer - Causes and pathophysiology

Cancer - Origins of cancer. Cell division (proliferation) is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances. Normally the balance between proliferation and cell death is tightly regulated to ensure the integrity of organs and tissues. Mutations in DNA that lead to cancer disrupt these orderly processes. The uncontrolled and often rapid proliferation of cells can lead to either a benign tumor or a malignant tumor (cancer). Benign tumors do not spread to other p ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Iron deficiency anemia - Diagnosis

Anemia will be diagnosed on the basis of suggestive symptoms, or found on the basis of routine testing, which includes a complete blood count (CBC). A sufficiently low hemoglobin or hematocrit value is diagnostic of anemia, and further studies will be undertaken to determine its cause. One of the first abnormal values to be noted on a CBC will be a high red blood cell distribution width (RDW), reflecting a varied population of red blood cells. A low MCV, MCH or MCHC, and the appearance of the RBCs on visual examination of a peripheral blood smear will ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Colostomy - Perception

Colostomies are viewed negatively due to the misconception that it is difficult to hide the smell of feces and the bag and even keeping it securely attached. However, modern colostomy bags are well-designed and allow stoma patients to continue normal activities. Placement of the stoma on the abdomen, usually on the lower left side, is one of the main factors in the success of the stoma, and for this reason colostomies which are planned ahead have a higher rate of long-term success and satisfacti ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Chet Atkins - Biography

Atkins was born in Luttrell, Tennessee, and grew up with his mother and siblings after the divorce of his parents. He started out on the fiddle, but traded his stepfather a rifle for a guitar when he was nine. Forced to relocate to Georgia to live with his father due to a near-fatal asthma attack, Atkins was a sensitive youth who made music his obsession. He became an accomplished guitarist while he was in high school. Atkins was self-taught, and later on in life gave himself (along with Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed and John Knowles) the honor ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Methylsulfonylmethane - Claims of beneficial effects

MSM has been purported to have anti-inflammatory (Hasegawa, 2004; Childs, 1994; Murav'ev IuV et al, 1991; Parcell, 2002; Usha & Naidu, 2004) and anti-cancer (McCabe et al, 1986; O'Dwyer et al, 1988; Ebisuzaki, 2003; Wang et al, 2003a; Wang et al, 2003b) properties and to inhibit prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis in cultured cells of the endothelium (Alam & Layman, 1983; Layman, 1987), an action that is believed to combat atherosclerosis. The therapeutic action of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) may be mediated, at least in part, by MSM (Gerhards & Gibian, 1967; ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Charles Rowan - Foundation of the Metropolitan Police

In June 1829, Rowan was selected by Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel as founding senior Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police (or Metropolitan Police Magistrate) after the first man offered the job, Lieutenant-Colonel James Shaw, had turned it down. Peel was probably acting on advice from the Duke of Wellington and Sir George Murray, Wellington's Quartermaster-General in the Peninsula and now Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in his government, who had been impressed by Rowan's conduct at Waterloo. Rowan was to provide the military ...

colon cancer: Encyclopedia II - Awareness ribbon - List of awareness ribbons

The meaning behind the awareness ribbon depends on its color. Many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, and as a result, many causes often share each color. Some causes also seem to be represented by more than one color (for example, substance abuse uses both the red and the teal ribbon, roadway worker safety uses both the orange and the green ribbon, and Alzheimer's disease uses both the purple and the white ribbon). The Bacon Ribbon (obesity awareness) is another that varies from the one color theme and is actual ...
