Brest cancer

 Breast cancer can occur in women and rarely in men. It is the most common cancer in India for woman and rearly men affects too . Over 1 million patient comes across the world every year , with these . 

2nd most common cancer in woman after lungs cancer .

It treatable by a medical professional , requires medical diagnosis , and lab test and imaging test requires . 

its treatment depends on stages of cancer , it may consist chemotherapy , radiation, hormone therapy and surgery . 

 Uncontrolled growth of epithelial cells in the breast . 

# Don't cause pain or discomfort untill it spread to nearby tissue .

Cause :

 Breast cancer occurs when some breast cells begin to grow abnormally. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells do and continue to accumulate, forming a lump or mass. Cells may spread (metastasize) through your breast to your lymph nodes or to other parts of your body.

Breast cancer most often begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts (invasive ductal carcinoma). Breast cancer may also begin in the glandular tissue called lobules (invasive lobular carcinoma) or in other cells or tissue within the breast.

Researchers have identified hormonal, lifestyle and environmental factors that may increase your risk of breast cancer. But it's not clear why some people who have no risk factors develop cancer, yet other people with risk factors never do. It's likely that breast cancer is caused by a complex interaction of your genetic makeup and your environment.

contradiction :

A personal history of breast conditions. If you've had a breast biopsy that found lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) or atypical hyperplasia of the breast, you have an increased risk of breast cancer

Inherited genes that increase cancer risk. Certain gene mutations that increase the risk of breast cancer can be passed from parents to children. The most well-known gene mutations are referred to as BRCA1 and BRCA2. These genes can greatly increase your risk of breast cancer and other cancers, but they don't make cancer inevitable.

  • Radiation exposure. If you received radiation treatments to your chest as a child or young adult, your risk of breast cancer is increased.
  • Obesity. Being obese increases your risk of breast cancer.
  • Beginning your period at a younger age. Beginning your period before age 12 increases your risk of breast cancer.
  • Beginning menopause at an older age. If you began menopause at an older age, you're more likely to develop breast cancer.
  • Postmenopausal hormone therapy. Women who take hormone therapy medications that combine estrogen and progesterone to treat the signs and symptoms of menopause have an increased risk of breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer decreases when women stop taking these medications.
  • Drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer.

Anatomy and Physiology of aterial line

  Anatomy and Physiology The arterial pulse may be palpated in the extremities and the neck. With the knowledge of the contour of these vessels, the operator may easily identify the location of the artery. The anatomy of every site of insertion must be analyzed to determine the landmarks, the depth, the relationship to adjacent anatomical structures, and the size of the artery.   The radial artery is superficial in the thenar area of the wrist where the radial bone joins the metacarpal bones. There, the radial pulse is best felt slightly medial to the extensor tendons of the thumb. The radial artery is a preferred site of insertion. The ulnar artery is opposite to the radial pulse in the volar aspect of the wrist at the joint of the ulnar bone to the metacarpal bones. The artery divides into 2 branches, both of which join a similar division of the radial artery to form a rich, collateral network known as the deep and superficial palma...

GallBladder ot ?? what is it ?

We all know about gallbladder operation and it is very common to heard from old aged person and gallbladder stone . but some it comes to our mind how it is formed ? and all something about that .     gallbladder is a very vital part of our body which secrets some engyme helps to digest compound and complex  food which we take . one end comes from it , called cystic duct which later collabed with common bile duct . and jointly conduct in duodenum .       We comes to know a little bit of  anatomy in the above passage . But here the main points comes where and why stone which formed of CaCo3 and Na+ , Ca+ , k+ ion .

Choosing the option between fibula plate and nail

 Fibula is the secondary bone of our leg which connects knee to ankle along aside tibia as a secondary part .  It usually  broke along aside tibia as an evidence of major accident  There is two option to fix it .  Firstly we are choosing  about fibula nail as a simple procedure .  Surgeon needs only a pliers and nail after creating a port according to its position to fix it under the guidance of c arm .  If Surgeon go for here need to open the fracture to fix plate on the area . And needs for clam k wire and other nessary things to fix the fracture.   Why the options?  Surgeon choose the options according to the fracture  , if the fracture line goes vertically ways or the both part of fibula resting perfectly and doesn't dislocated from its own  position  , surgeon goes for nail fixation.   If the fracture is not showing properly in x ray and both end of the bone misplaced after the injury or fracture line...
