DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are generally accepted to be the most biologically significant lesion by which ionizing radiation causes cancer. [6] In vitro experiments show that ionizing radiation cause DSBs at a rate of 35 DSBs per cell per Gray, [26] and removes a portion of the epigenetic markers of the DNA, [27] which regulate the gene ...
[40] [9] Due to the prevalence of infection by H. pylori in middle-aged adults (74% in developing countries and 58% in developed countries in 2002 [41]), and 1% to 3% likelihood of infected individuals developing gastric cancer, [42] H. pylori-induced gastric cancer is the third highest cause of worldwide cancer mortality as of 2018.
A cancer syndrome or family cancer syndrome is a genetic disorder in which inherited genetic mutations in one or more genes predisposes the affected individuals to the development of cancers and may also cause the early onset of these cancers. Although cancer syndromes exhibit an increased risk of cancer, the risk varies.
High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the ...
Some infectious agents are linked to increased risk of cancer in their host organisms. The articles in this category pertain to such infectious agents, the vaccines that prevent infection by these agents, the names of the cancers linked to, associated with, caused by and/or have an increased risk of developing from these infectious agents.
The American Gas Association, American Public Gas Association, National Propane Gas Association and manufacturer Thermo Products filed a lawsuit against DOE, claiming that costs could increase for ...
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is one of many distant effect disorders due to cancer, with lung cancer being the most common cause but also occurring with ovarian or adrenal malignancies. A distant effect disorder, or a paraneoplastic syndrome , affects distant areas and thus is not related to local compression or obstruction effects from the tumor.
Stanley is recalling 2.6 million mugs sold in the U.S. after the company received dozens of consumer complaints, including some users who reported getting burned and requiring medical attention ...
