Summary Outline for reference. (please elaborate more on answers find out further information)
1.
Name all of the types of cancer that can arise in the organ or organ system you chose.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma- the most common of all liver cancers. This cancer occurs in people that have chronic liver diseases that are mostly caused by Hep-B and Hep-C
Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma– the second most common primary liver tumor. “These cancers start in the cells that line the small bile ducts (tubes that carry bile to the gallbladder) within the liver. (Most cholangiocarcinomas start in the bile ducts outside the liver.)”
Liver Angiosarcoma– This is rare cancer, and it begins in the lining of the blood vessels in the liver. This cancer is common for people that have been exposed to vinyl chloride or thorium dioxide and “arsenic or radium, or to an inherited condition known as hereditary hemochromatosis.”
Hepatoblastoma– This is another rare cancer that is commonly connected to children. The cells from this cancer are similar to fetal liver cells.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
2. How common is cancer you chose in 1a?
Very common,
“About 42,220 new cases (30,610 in men and 11,610 in women) will be diagnosed” (ACS) As of 2018
75 percent of liver cancer patients have this form of cancer
How deadly is cancer you chose in 1a (i.e., what is the “mortality” rate)?
Up to 75 percent of all patients die if it is not detected early
“About 30,200 people (20,540 men and 9,660 women) will die of these cancers” (ACS) As of 2018
Morbidity
Heavy upper abdomen
Pale and chalky stool in most cases accompanied by dark urine.
The patients may also experience nausea and vomiting
skin and the eyes of the patient develop a yellow like pigment color, a condition referred to as jaundice
Unexplainable weight loss.
Are there any genes known to cause cancer you chose in 1a?
One chemical called: Aflatoxins, can cause damage to TP53 a tumor suppressor gene.
Infection of the liver cells that are connected to Hep-B and Hep-C can also damage the DNA.
What are the available treatment options for cancer you chose in 1a? How effective are they at reducing either morbidity or mortality?
· Surgery- this is only for tumors that have not grown into the blood vessels.
·
Tumor ablation- destroying the tumor without removing them. This is less likely to cure cancer.
· Tumor embolization- injecting substances to stop blood flow to cancer cells. Only good for patients that tumors are big and not for patients that have liver disease.
· Radiation therapy- most common, does work.
· Targeted therapy- chemotherapy drugs, more effective than chemo itself.
· Chemo- not that effective in patients with liver cancer.

UncategorizedOne of the big challenges with cloud-based reputation checks is performance. Users do not typically want to wait a few seconds while the reputation of potential URLs is checked. Most of us have come to expect that websites are at the immediate tips of our fingers and that access and loading of the content should take place rapidly and immediately. This presents a tricky security problem. Since the reputation service exists in the cloud, the challenge can be summed up as, “How can a reputation be securely retrieved without slowing Web access down so much as to create a poor user experience?”

Health statistics demonstrate that morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death) rates for specific diseases and other health issues (e.g., violence, accidents, homicide) are different for men and women.
UncategorizedHealth statistics demonstrate that morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death) rates for specific diseases and other health issues (e.g., violence, accidents, homicide) are different for men and women. For example, men are diagnosed with and die from specific cancers, such as lung cancer and colon cancer, at higher rates than women do. Women are diagnosed with breast cancer at higher rates than men (though more than 1,000 men each year are diagnosed with breast cancer). While this difference in disease and disorder prevalence and mortality is interesting, it would be useful to know why there are differences between men and women.
Biological differences between men and women in areas such as hormones and immune response certainly can contribute to health differences between the sexes, but in order to fully explore their causes, other variables must be examined. An important area to consider when looking at health and gender is behavior. That is, do men and women behave differently when it comes to health? Health-related behaviors fall into two basic categories: preventative behaviors and direct health-related behaviors. For example, seeing a physician for an annual check-up and health screening, eating well, exercising, and maintaining low stress levels are preventative behaviors. Engaging in high-risk sports and smoking are direct health-related behaviors. Gender differences in health behaviors must be interpreted carefully. For example, frequency of doctor visits—which is higher among women—should not necessarily be interpreted as a reliable indicator of higher morbidity in women, since women tend to engage in more preventative health behaviors.
A second group of variables related to gender differences in health issues is made up of the confounding variables that your text refers to as artifacts. These include physician bias and how the health care system treats men and women. For example, men and women are screened differently, diagnosed differently, and treated differently for many health problems. It also includes differences in socioeconomic status, such as education and income, that correspond to health outcomes.
Lastly, gender differences in social roles may contribute to health differences. Physically demanding careers held more often by men may lead to greater health risks such as job-related injury. On the other hand, women’s traditional role as family caretaker can also lead to health risks such as poor self-care and fatigue.
For this Discussion, you will analyze gender-related differences in physical health for a specific health issue of your choosing. You will not only explore its incidence and causes, but will also share potential strategies to mitigate risk.
To prepare
· Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the gender-related differences and similarities in issues related to health.
· Select a physical health issue that interests you that has gender-related differences, and research this health issue using the Walden Library and other reputable academic sources.
· Search the literature for effective strategies to mitigate the risk of the health issue.

Assignment 1: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research
The qualitative approach to research involves the collection of extensive amounts of narrative and written data in order to gain insight into an event, occurrence, strategy, or phenomenon. Quantitative research involves the collection of numerical measurement data in order to explain, predict, or control the interest area of research.
Under what conditions would a person choose the qualitative approach over the quantitative or vice versa when investigating a forensic behavioral science situation? When would a mixed-methods design be the best option? Through your research provide examples and support for the points you are making.
Review the points of others and add additional examples, challenging a response or drawing conclusions from the response.
Post your responses in a minimum of 300 words.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
