The Clinical symptoms are an overproduction of Blast stem cells that interferes with other blood cells (e.g. erythrocytes , platelets and other vibrant white blood cells ) . Lumbar Puncture is the standard diagnostic procedure . The patient is treated with Bone Marrow transplant. There are hematology and physical examinations.

Q

This gender specific cancer has idiopathic origin and unknown risk behavior. There is a possible link to HRT. Or family genetics. The epidemiological finding pointed to all demographic groups by race and age affected by this. Symptomatically , there is an enlarged tumor growth ( e.g. localized in situ growth) , emesis , hair loss , languished functionality and systemic Metastasis if malignant. The Diagnostic procedure involves Mammogram , Fine Needle Aspiration , and
Biopsy. The treatment modalities may include cytoxic Chemotherapy , Kytril infusion , Andriamycin , Taxocere , or Tammoxifen . The Oncologist determines the course of treatment for each individualized case.

Q

This HPV carries the risk behavior of one’s exposure to the carrier of the virus via sexual relation. The epidemiological reports divulge the prevalence among sexually active girls and women . The diagnostic procedure entails pap smear and Cytological screening . The worst scenario is infertility as a culminated factor in untreated cases. Gardasil is administered to both girls and boys aged 9 years old!!! Wow , today youngsters are fast sexual experimenters.

Q

This carcinogenic condition is determined by either one or more risk behaviors : Nicotine addiction , lifestyle orientation , or exposure to asbestos . Epidemiologically , this affects all demographic genres by race , age , gender and ethnicity. It is the leading cause of Mortality. The symptoms comprise of Emphysema of enlarged air sacs and Bronchitis. Stethescopic evaluation for pleural effusion and fluid accumulation is the common and usual diagnostic procedure. .

Q

A skin cancer stemming from excessive sun exposure . Other risk behaviors include utility of Tanning Salons as exposure. The Epidemiological assessments reported and highlighted the prevalence among Blond and Red hair people with blue or green eyes.

Melanoma

19
Q

This Neurological condition originates from Genetics as the prominent Risk behavior. It is a tumor infiltration of the Acoustics and the Vestibular branches. The 8th Cranial nerves is hampered .The latest Epidemiological studies alluded to the age onset at between 18 and 22. The incidence affects 1 out of 40,000 carriers.

A

Neurofibromatosis 2

20
Q

This Neurological inheritance emerged as a result of Genetics as a Risk behavior. Based upon Epidemiological assays , the age onset commences at. or around 10 years old . The incidence affects and afflicts 1 out of 3,000-4,000 carriers. Diverse symptoms are Cafe au lait spots , Tumor infiltration of the Nerve fiber & Myelin Sheath surrounding the nerve fiber ( CNS ). Other experience Tumor enlargement along the Spinal column.

A

Neurofibromatosis I

21
Q

This Gender specific cancer primarily afflicts men . Varied Risk behaviors allude to these Co-Morbidity factors: Prostatitis , inflammation of urinary section , multiple sex partners and promiscuity , and unprotected sex at an early age. The clinical age onset is 50 and beyond. The Clinical symptoms embody Bladder Incontinence and corollary pain upon urination.PSA ( Prostate Specific Antigen ) test is the Diagnostic procedure so performed.

Prostate Cancer

Q

This variation of Anemia involves the risk behavior of Genetics. The carrier genetically inherited the abnormality of the Erythrocytes as crescent shaped . The sickle morphology caused the red blood cells to cluster abnormally. The abnormal clustering of the Erythrocytes caused undue pain .There is an epidemiological prevalence in Africa and Asia. African Americans by the majority are inherited carriers . The constellation of symptoms includes enlarged spleen , lethargy , low count of red blood cells and malaise. Frequent hospitalization for those of major __?__ anemia requires blood transfusion. Minor carrier inherits ? traits.

Q

This Neural Deafness as colloquially called Nerve Deafness arises from Environmental exposure to Infectious disease such as German Measles ( Rubella ). An unborn fetus is prenatally exposed during the expectant mother’s gestational period . Herein the unborn’s intrauterine exposure to Rubella as in my case. Not all 1960s mother received inoculation against its disease. Other Risk behavior include Genetics. Epidemiological evidence alighted to Worldwide affliction . The Clinical symptoms encompass auditory nerve abridgement and NO sound reception in the absence of mechanical amplification. There is either no or poor transmission of sound waves to the Cochlear and the Brain. Diagnostic procedures involve Audiometric screening and / or MRI ( Magnetic Resonance Imaging ) . Audiologist prescribed either binaural or unilateral Hearing aides for amplification of sound. As of the 21st Century , EXPENSIVE Digital devices are widely marketed . It supplanted the once avoidable Analog brands.

Sensorineural Dysacusis

24
Q

A Genetic disorder as characterized by Globin Abnormality and small morphology of erythrocytes. The Risk Behavior is Genetics. The defective gene causes the underproduction of the Hemoglobin ( the iron enriched protein that enables Oxygen release ). Its defect interferes with normal oxygen transport. There is an autosomal recessiveness of the Hemoglobin .The dichotomous types are Alpha and Beta__?__( mine ) Epidemiological studies alighted to the pervasive genetic inheritance in North Africa ( Egypt , Morocco , Algeria and Tunisia ) , the Mediterranean , Southeast Asia, Southern Italy , and Eastern Europe ( Greece ). The Hematology test screens for Low Hemoglobin level as a diagnostic procedure. Afflictional variation encompasses anemia , shortness of breath upon physical exertion , jaundice , and extreme fatigue. Clinical symptom for Major __?__ consists of enlarged Spleen that necessitates frequent hospitalization and blood transfusion.
