Penile Cancer The penis is made up of three chambers of spongy tissue that contains smooth muscle, blood vessels, and nerves. The corpora cavernosa is two of the chambers that are on both sides of the upper part of the penis. The corpus spongiosum is below the corpora cavernosa and surrounds the urethra, the tube that urine and semen go through the body at an opening which is called the meatus. At the tip of the penis, the corpora cavernosa opens to form the head of the penis, or glans. Penile cancer is the most common in Asia, Africa and South America.

INTRODUCTION Monosodium L- glutamate (MSG) is a major flavor enhancer used as a food additive; its concentrations vary in different foods (Walker et al., 2000). Nowadays, the safe concentration of MSG in foods and its toxicity in human is still a controversial issue (Beyreuther et al., 2007). In animals, MSG at higher doses was demonstrated to be a neurotoxic salt that could alter the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and damage neurons in the hypothalamic nuclei. The ability of monosodium glutamate to damage nerve cells of the hypothalamus is a pointer to the fact that it may alter the neural control of reproductive hormone secretion via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal regulatory axis.

But why is that? A very detailed experiment concerning this question was done by Lance Price of the Translational Genomics Research institute (TGen) and his colleagues, among a group of Ugandan men who provided samples before they got circumcised and a year after circumcision. The journal mBio published this study, scientists claim that changes in the population of bacteria living on and around the penis may be partly the reason for this. A too high number of bacteria could disturb specialized immune cells known as Langerhans cells to activate immune defences. Normally, Langerhans are responsible for capturing invading microbes like bacteria or viruses and presenting them to immune cells for training, to prepare the body to recognize and react against the pathogens.

Based on the topic of the research, the anatomical structure that will be discussed is the pelvic bone of the modern whale, and the evidence of evolution that exists in the structure that lost its vestige. According to an online article by Brian Switek for the “Smithsonian”, an estimated 375 million years ago (mya) vertebrates that had arms and legs, known as the first tetrapods, made their out from one ecosystem (swamp) to another (terrestrial), to roam about. Dinosaurs remained the superior invertebrates during the time (Eocene period), the first group of mammals had evolved an estimated 200mya; during this interval, they became diverse, but small in size until terrestrial dinosaurs became extinct 65mya. Due to this incident, the major radiation (derived from the term, “Evolutionary Radiation”, is defined as the increase of diverse species from an ancestral species into different forms) occurred, which led to the first whales to evolve from the tetrapods that made their way out of the swamp ecosystem.

We all know breast cancer is detected through mammograms and colon cancer can be caught early through a regular colonoscopy. When it comes to lung cancer, which kills the most Americans, there are only a few tests. Unlike mammography and colonoscopy, not everyone has to get screened. While lung cancer is diagnosed in people who’ve never smoked in their lives, a majority of the patients have a history of smoking. If you’ve quit smoking, you’re in much better health than if you were still lighting up.

1 . Introduction On February 24, 2009 President Barack Obama set the ambitious goal that the United States “should once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by the year 2020” (U.S. Department of Education (!!!)). With the US currently only ranked 12th in the world in four-year degree attainment among 25-34-year olds this would require at least eight million more young adults to earn a postsecondary degree by 2020 (The White House; U.S. Department of Education (!!!)).

The women who get circumcised are often treated in their own homes in the villages in unsanitary conditions. The tools used are tools which have been used time and time again to perform circumcisions on many other women and the tools are not sterilized. There are four types of female circumcision: Type I which is commonly known as a “clitoridectomy”, Type II which is also known as “excision”, Type III also known as “infibulation”, and Type IV. In type I or “clitoridectomy” the prepuce is surgically removed with or without the removal of the clitoris (World Health Organization). In type II or “excision” the prepuce and clitoris are surgically removed with either partial or total removal of the labia minora (World Health Organization).
