Extraprostatic Extension Indicates Aggressive Prostate Cancer

-


Prostate cancer is a type of Rare Oncology Disease, caused by mutations in your DNA, or genetic material, lead to the growth of cancerous cells. DNA is the biological in our cells that makes up our genes. Our genes regulate our cells function. These mutations cause cells in your prostate to start growing uncontrollably and unusually. Abnormal or cancerous cells continue to grow and divide until a tumour develops.
Symptoms
Due to the closeness of the prostate gland in relation to the bladder and urethra, prostate cancer may be accompanied by a variety of urinary symptoms. Some prostate cancer signs related to urination include:
§  Burning or pain during urination
§  Difficulty urinating, or trouble starting and stopping while urinating
§  More frequent urges to urinate at night
§  Loss of bladder control
§  Decreased flow or velocity of urine stream
§  Blood in urine (hematuria)
Prostate cancer might spread to proximate tissues or bones. If the cancer spreads to the spine, it might press on the spinal nerves. Other prostate cancer symptoms include:
§  Blood in semen
§  Difficulty getting an erection (erectile dysfunction)
§  Painful ejaculation
§  Swelling in legs or pelvic area
§  Numbness or pain in the hips, legs or feet
§  Bone pain that doesn't go away, or leads to fractures

Risk factors 
Some risk factors might affect your chances of developed prostate cancer, including your: family history, age, race, geographical location, diet.
Aggressive prostate cancers might be slightly different than slower-growing types of the disease. Certain risk factors have been linked to the development of more aggressive types of the condition, like if you:
·         Smoke
·         Obese
·         Have a sedentary lifestyle
·         Consume high levels of calcium

Early detection
All men should begin annual or semi-annual PSA (prostate-specific antigen) monitoring. A minimal increase in PSA levels against your baseline score requires no further action until your next annual test. A significant increase should prompt a discussion with your doctor or urologist about follow-up PSA blood test.
The PSA blood test not only helps to diagnose prostate cancer, but it also helps monitoring for recurrence of prostate cancer after treatment. It allows a patient and his doctor to monitor if cancer is suspected, if lifestyle changes have had an impact or if cancer has spread.
 Prevention
1-      Healthy Diet:
·         Eat plenty of yellow and orange vegetables.
·         Eats lots of tomatoes, especially cooked
·         Avoid fried food.
·         Always tried to eat plant based food like G-BOMBS(Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, and Seeds)
·         Drink green tea, diminish or eliminate alcohol, and increase intake of soy, fish.
·         Reduce consumption of meat, eggs and dairy.
·         Check sufficient vitamin-D levels with a blood test.
2-      Healthy Weight:
·         Obesity puts men at increased risk.
·         A person with a BMI(Body Mass Index) above 30 is considered obese.
3-      Exercise :
·         Exercise at least 3 hours a week.
·         Doctors can prescribe medications for men with a numerous risk factors

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, inherited disease . It is a type of lipid metabolism disorder in which deficiency of an enzyme ( hexosaminidase A ) results in excessive accumulation of certain fats (lipids) known as gangliosides in the brain and nerve cells. It makes a lot of a fatty substance to develop in the brain. This development ruins nerve cells, causing mental and physical complications. Maximum people have two healthy sorts of this HEXA gene, which provides guidelines to your body to make an enzyme (a type of protein) known as Hex-A. This enzyme inhibits the development of a fatty substance, called GM2 ganglioside, in the brain and spinal cord. Infants usually begin to show signs of the disease between 3 months and 6 months of age. Children with Tay-Sachs disease can become deaf, blind and paralyzed, and generally die by the age of 5. Tay-sachs is named after two physicians Warren Tay, was an ophthalmologist who was the first to determine a red dot on the retina of on...

Rare Diseases of Endocrine System

Gigantism Gigantism also called gigantism obtained from a Greek word gigas, is a Rare Endocrine Diseases characterized by excessive growth hormone which accelerates the growth of muscle, bones and connective tissue in childhood or youth before the end of puberty. It is always the consequence of a growth hormone secreting pituitary tumour. When left untreated or uncontrolled, some individuals suffering from gigantism have grown in excess of eight feet (2.4 m) tall. The most well-known example is that of Robert Wadlow, the tallest person in history. Cause Most common reason of gigantism is Pituitary gland tumor . The pea sized pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain; it makes hormones that control body temperature, metabolism growth, sexual development and urine production. Some other cause of gigantism is: ·          McCune-Albright disease is a disorder that causes unusual growth of bone tissues, gland irregu...

Sesquizygotic Twinning: What No One Is Talking About

Multiple births are progressively basic due to the advancing normal time of mothers and the related ascent in helped regenerative techniques, specifically the utilization of fertility drugs . Twins represent over 90% of numerous births. Twins are usually categorized into two that is – identical ( monozygotic ) and fraternal ( dizygotic ). Monozygotic twinning results in genetically identical individuals, whereas dizygotic twins share approximately 50% of their DNA sequence identity, as do full siblings. Sesquizygosity is a third form of rare twinning — whereby twins are genetically identical to each other with respect to one parent but differ from each other by approximately 50% with respect to the composition of DNA inherited from the other parent. It probably arises after heterogoneic assortment of two paternal genomes and one maternal genome during the first postzygotic cleavage division. Genetically, sesquizygosis can be viewed as on a continuum among monozygosis and...
