Pancreas and Type 1 diabetes The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin,
and it plays a major role in regulating blood
glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the
pancreas does not make enough or any insulin.
How does insulin work in diabetes? Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices
that mimic the way the human pancreas works by
delivering small doses of short acting insulin
continuously (basal rate). The device also is used
to deliver variable amounts of insulin when a
meal is eaten (bolus)
,chemotherapy Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses
powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in
your body. Chemotherapy is most often used to
treat cancer, since cancer cells grow and multiply
much more quickly than most cells in the body. It
targets cells that grow and divide quickly, as
cancer cells do. Unlike radiation or surgery, which
target specific areas, chemo can work throughout
your body. But it can also affect some fast-
growing healthy cells, like those of the skin, hair,
intestines, and bone marrow.
How can stem cells be used in the Stem cell transplant replaces the leukemia cells in
treatment of leukemia? And how your bone marrow with new ones that make
effective is it? blood. Your doctor can get the new stem cells
from your own body or from a donor. Stem cell
transplantation is effective against leukemia. In
many cases, however, the transferred immune
cells of the donor also attack the recipients'
healthy tissue—often with fatal consequences. ...
Stem cell therapy offers people suffering from
leukemia or bone-marrow cancer the chance of
full recovery.
Why is laser technology more Lasers are more precise than standard surgical
effective than conventional surgery tools (scalpels), so they do less damage to
in removing cancerous tumours? normal tissues. As a result, patients usually have
less pain, bleeding, swelling, and scarring. With
laser therapy, operations are usually shorter.
, Urinary system · The urinary system, also known as the renal
system or urinary tract, consists of the kidneys,
ureters, bladder, and the urethra. The purpose of
the urinary system is to eliminate waste from the
body, regulate blood volume and blood
pressure, control levels of electrolytes and
metabolites, and regulate blood pH
Nanotechnology Nanotechnology can provide rapid and sensitive
detection of cancer-related molecules, enabling
scientists to detect molecular changes even
when they occur only in a small percentage of
cells.
Mercury poisoning The most common cause of mercury poisoning is
from consuming too much methyl mercury or
organic mercury, which is linked to eating
seafood. Small amounts of mercury are present in
everyday foods and products, which may not
affect your health. Too much mercury, however,
can be poisonous. Mercury salts affect primarily
the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys, and can
cause severe kidney damage; however, as they
cannot cross the blood-brain barrier easily, these
salts inflict little neurological damage without
continuous or heavy exposure.
How can ultraviolet light from the UV rays may lead to macular degeneration, a

eye? UV rays, especially UV-B rays, may also cause
some kinds of cataracts. A cataract is a clouding
of the eye's natural lens, the part of the eye that
focuses the light we see.
