Possibly leading to death

Childhood cancer (CC) is a leading cause of death among children aged 0–19 years worldwide. Each year, 400,000 new cases of CC are diagnosed globally. Given the between-country differences in CC incidence rates, types and trends, this study aimed to identify possible risk factors for CC in Armenia.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, despite the possibilities to detect early onset of the most common cancer types. The search for the optimal therapy is complicated by the cancer diversity within tumors and the unsynchronized development of cancerous cells.

Despite advances in the field of pediatric oncology, cancer remains a leading cause of death in children. The delays in cancer diagnosis may occur throughout the diagnostic pathway. Diagnosis of childhood cancer as early as possible is crucial to reduce mortality.

Mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (mHS) deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism, which will give rise to failure of ketogenesis in liver during illness or fasting. It is a very rare disease with only a few patients reported worldwide, most of which had a good prognosis after proper therapies.

Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer typically leads to loss of taste among cancer patients. We proposed that loss of taste after irradiation may be due to continued natural taste cell death, paired with temporary interruption of cell replacement. One possible strategy for averting taste loss may be to reduce epithelial cell death, so that cell proliferation is not interrupted. Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) has been shown to positively regulate apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death among women. Ideally, it is desirable to prevent or at least to detect cancer in the precancerous stage. Early detection is possible by using Papanicolaou’s (Pap) test for cervical cancer, biopsies for endometrial cancer, and mammography for breast cancer. History plays a more major role in the detection of colorectal cancer, because having first-degree relatives with colon cancer; a history of colorectal, breast, endometrial, or ovarian cancer; and a history of adenomatous polyps or ulcerative colitis are identified risk factors....

This is the "income effect". 13 In his well- known work Becker (1981) argued however that if the increase in household income were due to an increase in wage rates (i.e., an increase in labour productivity), the cost of children would increase, because time is involved in producing and rearing them. But other things being the same, this would lead to a decrease in the demand for children (this is the "substitution effect").

In 1990, four of the ten leading causes of death in American women were chronic diseases directly associated with modifiable behavioral factors including physical inactivity or sedentary lifestyle. They were heart disease, certain forms of cancer (specifically, breast and colon cancers), cerebrovascular disease (hypertension and stroke), and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (National Center for Health Statistics, 1993).

Oates (62) investigated causes of death in women up to one year after giving birth in the UK and came to the conclusion that during the period, 1997-1999, suicide was the leading cause of death - responsible for 10% of all deaths. In 86% of the cases it was possible to make a psychiatric diagnosis, indicating that 68% of women who committed suicide were suffering from a serious mental illness (psychosis or severe depressive illness). Drife (63) observed similar results for the period, 2000-2002. Austin et al.

Cerebrovascular diseases have an enormous and increasing impact on societies: they rank among the leading causes of death, are often associated with chronic handicap, and cause high costs for primary treatment, rehabilitation and chronic care. The advent of treatment options such as reperfusion therapies and, to a lesser degree, neuroprotective strategies on the one hand, and growing means to enhance rehabilitation and functional plasticity on the other hand, urges physicians to diagnose stroke subtypes as early and precisely as possible.

The main risks in acute poisoning are: hyperpyrexia, tachycardia, and a rise in the metabolic rate leading to death by cardiac arrest. In chronic exposure, the main riss are: skin, blood, neurological and respiratory disorders, porphyria, non-specific symptoms, and the possibility of cancer.

Death and Dying The most common causes of death in patients with cancer are infection (leading to circulatory failure), respiratory failure, hepatic failure, and renal failure. Intestinal blockage may lead to inanition and starvation. Central nervous system disease may lead to seizures, coma, and central hypoventilation. About 70% of patients develop dyspnea preterminally. However, many months usually pass between the diagnosis of cancer and the occurrence of these complications, and during this period the patient is severely affected by the possibility of death. ...
