Detection
The removal and examination of tissue, cells, or fluids from the living body.
Biopsy
These are the four main types of risk factors for cancer.
Behavioral, Genetic, Biological, and Environmental
These are the advantages and disadvantages of X-Rays.
Advantages: Painless, Quick, Noninvasive, and Relatively Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Small amount of radiation exposure and contrast materials sometimes used might produce an allergic reaction
An artificial device to replace or augment a missing or impaired part of the body.
prosthesis
Programmed cell death, brought about by signals that trigger the activation of a cascade of proteins.
apoptosis
The color red on a DNA microarray means this.
Induced in tumor formation
These are the the ABCDE's of skin cancer.
A- Asymmetry, B- Boarder irregularity, C- Color Change, D- Diameter greater than 1/4 inch, E-Evolution
This is designed to help patients become attuned to the way in which the body reacts to stress and learn ways to use the mind to influence many of the body's involuntary functions.
Biofeedback Therapy
Put the following in order by size, from largest to smallest: A bacterium, a virus, a red blood cell, diameter of a human hair, thickness of a cell wall, thickness of aluminum foil
thickness of aluminum foil, diameter of a human hair, red blood cell, a bacterium, a virus, thickness of a cell wall
An experimental procedure in which the experimenters but not the subjects know the makeup of the test and control groups during the actual course of the experiments.
Single blind study
This is an X-ray picture of the breast, and are recommended to women annually beginning at this age.
Mammogram; 40 years old
These are two genes associated with a higher risk of breast cancer, and this is their normal action within the cell.
BRACA 1 and BRACA 2; Tumor suppressor genes
Therapy based on engagement in meaningful activities of daily life (as self-care skills, education, work, or social interaction) especially to enable or encourage participation in such activities despite impairments or limitations in physical or mental functioning.
Occupational Therapy
This proposed device consists of a tiny hole that allows DNA to pass through one strand at a time, which is hypothesized to make DNA sequencing more efficient.
Nanopore
This resulted in birth defects in children, passing of the 1962 Kefauver-Harris amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which empowered the FDA to ban drug experiments on humans until the animal trials for the drug's safety test have been completed and required informed consent of human subjects.
Thalidomide Tragedy
A soccer player took a hard fall, tearing lots of tendons and ligaments in her knee. A radiographer might use this to determine the density of the tissues around the tendons and ligaments.
MRI
This is a type of herpes virus known for causing Mononucleosis, which increases the risk for nasopharyngeal cancer and stomach cancer.
EBV(Epstein–Barr virus)
This is a fast growing cancer of the white blood cells.
Lymphoblast Leukemia
Any of numerous short segments of DNA that are distributed throughout the genome, that consist of repeated sequences of usually two to five nucleotides, and that are often useful markers in studies of genetic linkage because they tend to vary from one individual to another.
Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
These are the two main types of skin cancer. Of these two, this one is most common.
Melanoma and Keratinocyte (basal cell carcinoma); Most common is Keratinocyte
This measures how gene expression levels from two genes go up and down together.
Pearson Correlation Coefficient
Four girls with the same type of leukemia, given the same medication, the same dosage, with the same height /weight, and given the same environment, experience vastly different outcomes to treatment. This is the most likely cause for these outcomes, and could be further investigated using this method.
Difference in Haplotypes and comparing SNPs to determine their haplotype
A group of drugs that work by interfering with DNA replication, and therefore, stop cancer cells from growing and spreading.
Thiopurine
Type of nanotechnology that aids breathing. Use three sorting rotors, one to deliver oxygen, one to remove carbon dioxide, and one to take in glucose to power the machine.
Respirocytes
Describe the Willowbrook Hepatitis Study and provide 3 legal results as described in the Helsinki Declaration.
Children at a mental institution in New York were intentionally infected with hepatitis with little choice about participation being given, caused passing of the Helsinki Declaration, which reinforces the Nuremberg Code and added three key points:
1) The interest of the subject has higher priority than society.
2) Every subject should get the best known treatment.
3) Independent review of all human subject research is required. (Origin of Institutional Review Board (IRB)
