is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.
Cancer affects people at all ages with the risk for most types increasing with age.[1] Cancer caused about 13% of all human deaths in 2007[2] (7.6 million).[3]
Cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells.[4] These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may randomly occur through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome.
Genetic abnormalities found in cancer typically affect two general classes of genes. Cancer-promoting oncogenes are typically activated in cancer cells, giving those cells new properties, such as hyperactive growth and division, protection against programmed cell death, loss of respect for normal tissue boundaries, and the ability to become established in diverse tissue environments. Tumor suppressor genes are then inactivated in cancer cells, resulting in the loss of normal functions in those cells, such as accurate DNA replication, control over the cell cycle, orientation and adhesion within tissues, and interaction with protective cells of the immune system.
Definitive diagnosis requires the histologic examination of a biopsy specimen, although the initial indication of malignancy can be symptomatic or radiographic imaging abnormalities. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for different varieties of cancer. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on detectable molecular abnormalities in certain tumors, and which minimize damage to normal cells. The prognosis of cancer patients is most influenced by the type of cancer, as well as the stage, or extent of the disease. In addition, histologic grading and the presence of specific molecular markers can also be useful in establishing prognosis, as well as in determining individual treatments.

Thank full to our esteemed supplier

The management has taken this opportunity to thanks our service provider Mr. Osca and Ms. Farida for there support in facilitate the activities of jAim Tz. There are a lot they did so we thanks you all include there recommendations and time facility.Further they enhance the mechanism of Poverty and Vulnerability as stipulated below.

“Poverty” and “Vulnerability” are two concepts this can be viewed in composing perspectives. As social and economic issues they may tend to be described in a physical realities or abstract entities depending on which philosophical perspective one maintains. There have emerged a number of debates among various scholars as to whether the two concepts are synonymous or not. This paper is therefore an attempt to oppose the theses that “poverty and vulnerability are synonymous

How Is Cancer Diagnosed?

The earlier cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of its being cured. Some types of cancer -- such as those of the skin, breast, mouth, testicles, prostate, and rectum -- may be detected by routine self-examination or other screening measures before the symptoms become serious. Most cases of cancer are detected and diagnosed after a tumor can be felt or when other symptoms develop. In a few cases cancer is diagnosed incidentally as a result of evaluating or treating other medical conditions.

Diagnosis begins with a thorough physical examination and a complete medical history. Lab studies of blood, urine, and stool can detect abnormalities that may indicate cancer. When a tumor is suspected, imaging tests such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fiberoptic scope examinations help doctors determine its location and size. To confirm the cancer diagnosis, a biopsy is performed: A tissue sample is surgically removed from the suspected malignancy and studied under a microscope to check for cancer cells.

It is an innate desire of human beings to look attractive regardless of the hair type they have. Each ethnic race has its own standards of beautiful hair.Mere presence of some beautiful hair strands on the scalp is of not much significance if not with coupled with some healthy and voluminous hair to match. You can have both the beauty and quantity if you follow some faster hair growth tips.
Growth of healthy hair largely depends on its normal healthyfunctioning and structure. The hair structure is divided intotwo parts - the non living part that is projectedout of the skin of the scalp and the other living part...

Marekani yasitisha ufadhili wa elimu Kenya
Marekani imesitisha ufadhili wa dola millioni saba kwa mpango wa elimu ya bure kwa shule za msingi nchini Kenya.
Balozi wa marekani nchini Kenya Michael Ranneberger amesema ufadhili huo utasitishwa hadi pale madai ya ufisadi katika wizara ya elimu yatakapochunguzwa.
Hatua marekani kusimamisha ufadhili huo imechukuliwa mwezi mmoja baada ya serikali ya Uingereza kuondoa ufadhili wake kwa sekta hiyo ya elimu.
Balozi Ranneberger amesisitiza kuwa ni lazima mpango mzima wa elimu ya bure nchini Kenya ufanyiwe uchunguzi.
Marekani imekuwa ikishinikiza serikali ya Kenya kutekeleza mabadiliko.http://www.bbc.co.uk/swahili

Marekani yakosoa utawala wa Nigeria

Waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Marekani Hillary Clinton amekosoa vikali utawala wa Nigeria kwa kutowajibikia majukumu yake vilivyo.
Bi Clinton amesema hali mbaya ya maisha nchini Nigeria imesababisha wananchi wengi na hasa vijana kuhisi kwamba wametengwa na sasa wamekuwa walengwa wa makundi ya kigaidi ambayo yanawasajili na kuanza kuwapa mafunzo ya itikadi kali.
Amezungumzia ongezeko la machafuko na uasi nchini Nigeria na kisa cha raia wa Nigeria Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, ambaye anadaiwa kuhusika katika jaribio la kuidungua ndege katika anga za marekani mnamo siku ya krismasi.
Bi Clinton na Rais Barack Obama wameweka mbele kampeini ya kuwezesha utawala bora barani Afrika katika agenda yao.
