What are the causes, initial symptoms and treatments of cervical cancer?
16. December 2020 at 16:40
by Mansi Chhikara
Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix in the lowermost part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix in the lowermost part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing cervical cancer. When exposed to HPV, the body's immune system typically prevents the virus from harming. However, in a small percentage of people, the virus survives for years causing some cervical cells to become cancerous cells. The risk of developing cervical cancer can be reduced by having screening tests and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection.


Causes of cervical cancer 

Cervical cancer begins when healthy cells in the cervix develop changes in their DNA. The accumulating abnormal cells form a tumor. Cancer cells invade nearby tissues and can brea...

The emergence of 5G technologies has brought a sort of unprecedented phobia across the globe. While many people may have little or no knowledge about the modus operandi of the technology, this article looks into some of the ways big tech. companies can help to salvage the situation.

Lately, there have been a lot of claims that 5G technologies cause a series of serious illnesses. The Belgian government at the beginning of the year halted a 5G test in the country over radiation and health concerns. In Europe and across the world, citizens have come out to campaign against the implementation of 5G networks in their environments. However, many of the claims on the harmfulness of 5G technologies are wide conspiracy theories as there are no known technological or scientific findings backing them up.

Bitter nature of life.

So many times the harsh lessons of your life are learnt by acting wise bitter. It hurts and that is what sometimes teach more then any way of compassion or love. Bitterness if it is present it can be use as stimulus or an agent.

The quality of our life depends upon the mentality of ourself. One can be happy by just having an ice cream and in other hand someone can have all possible luxuries and still be worried.. So the question is Why?? 


Love and compassion towards anything in life teaches us a lot and makes us comfortable but the life is nasty & bring up the situations where we loose happiness in those things which are around us. Our mental control can change such situations just by having two acts of life.. first is that we understand that something is worrying us. And second is the way out from that state of mind. It happens anyway its just that we can notice it to have some better control on us.

Anti-Breast Cancer activities of Dietary Phytonutrients

by Success Eko
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children after accidents (Joanne et al., 2000) and the second most leading cause of death in the world after cardiovascular diseases (Jemal et al., 2008). Cancer is a transmutative process which advances from steady metamorphosis of genetic cells to the internal selection processes acting on the acquired phenotypic diversity. It usually develops when normal cells in the body grows rapidly.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women after skin cancer in the United States. Chemopreventive measures such as chemotherapeutic drugs against this cancer have consequent adverse side effects but some dietary phytonutrients have been identified to play better prominent roles against this type of cancer. The aim of this work is to investigate the inhibitory roles of dietary phytonutrients against some target protein receptors of breast cancer and compare their binding energies to that of the standard breast cancer chemotherapeutic drug, Tamoxifen.

And the thing is that when you read many books you get so many ideas that you’ll naturally start writing a story.

So how does reading affect our lives:

1. It reduces bodily stress. In 2009, the University of Sussex did a study that showed that half an hour of dedicated reading is better for your stress levels than several other more traditional methods of relaxation, like having a cup of tea or listening to music. It reduced stress levels by up to 68 per cent. It is because when we emerge inside a book the tension on our muscles reduces

Recently, ISRO launched the Chandrayan 2 which is bound to be a successful mission and is one of the biggest space exploration missions in ISRO’s history. Another famous and one of the biggest missions that defined the brilliance of ISRO was the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM).

The goal of the mission was to orbit a satellite called the ‘Mangalyan’ around planet Mars. ‘Mangalyan’ was launched on November 5th, 2013 and has been orbiting planet Mars since September 4th, 2014. The mission was successful and proved to be a name-maker for ISRO in the whole world. Not only was the mission revolutionary, but a lot of people got motivation from ISRO as they accomplished the mission in their first attempt and with a budget much less than that of NASA’s Mars mission (the Mars rover one).


However, not many people know about the struggles of scientists, engineers, and technicians involved in the Mars Orbiter Mission.

How Memory Impairment Is Related To Age Nowadays

Thinning of hairs, overgrown beard, and a bulging abdomen are some common signs of aging which do not cause much discomfort. Most men learn to accept some deficiency in physical strength, energy, and sexual desire. In fact, men learn to compensate for these gradual changes and spend years of creative and joyful years of aging. But one of the greatest Traits of aging is the combination of experience, judgment, and memories. We call it ‘wisdom’.

2500 years ago, Sophocles, one of three ancient Greek Tragedians said, "Men are learning to become wise in aging" maybe because of this treasured wisdom that older people are worried about their memory deficits than any other age-related changes. This concern is not unreasonable, as about 7% of people over 65 have a ‘cognitive impairment’ condition and 40% of people over 85 have a major mental condition. Aging is unbearable, however, medical research shows that mental deficits can be prevented.


Increasing age can even affect the best of the brains. Learning new things takes time as new information is thoroughly processed in the brain and the details can be a lot to handle. As the names suggest, short-term memory is lost quickly, however, long-term memory stays. Of course, aged people who are health...

Antibiotic Resistance

Humans developed antimicrobial drugs to destroy diseases caused by microbes. The most common known antimicrobial is antibiotic which targets the bacteria. At the beginning of the 21st century the antimicrobial resistance has become very common, so we have to understand this phenomenon scientifically to prevent it from becoming a fatal disaster later.

Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that have the ability to enter the body replicating and growing causing serious diseases. Antibiotics agents interfere with specific processes that are essential for growth and/or division either for killing bacteria or at least stopping their growth. But How Drugs Interfere With Bacterial Growth And Division?


Proteins are important components in the cell to function normally, so some antibiotics inhibit the protein synthesis by inhibiting ribosomes thus stopping protein synthesis which results in bacterial death.


 Folic acid (one of B vitamins) can’t enter the bacteria, so the bacteria have to synthesize it, as it is important for the bacterial growth, by the help of a certain enzyme called dihydropteroate synthase. Antibiotics like...
