Fibroadenoma

  It is a noncancerous tumor mainly found in the breast of the women aged under 30.
  They are composed mainly of stromal and epithelial tissues.
   We all know that breasts are made up of milk producing glands known as lobules and ducts. All this arrangements are surrounded by some fatty tissues.
  Fibroadenoma started to develop from the lobules and ducts and spread all over it to form a solid structure commonly  known as lump. The lumps often highly mobile in the breast. This is the main difference with breast cancer.
  It occurs mainly due to the hormonal imbalance.  Estrogen may responsible for this type of noncancerous growth. This can grow during the time of pregnancy and menopause.
  Fibroadenoma can be classified into two types.
1. Simple : Purely noncancerous.
2. Complex : They have slight tendency to turn into cancer.
Breast ultrasound and mammogram tests may be used to diagnose Fibroadenoma.  But after diagnosis the removal is not necessary for most of the cases. If it causes pain and the if a patient have family history of cancer only then it is important to remove these lumps.
  But sometimes it is possible for one or more to grow in its place after its removal.

Aquaporin

We all know our cell membrane possesses different types of protein some of them are peripheral and others are integral. Aquaporin are integral proteins found in the cells which help to transport water from one cell to another. According to their function they are named as water channel .    Just take a look at their name Aquaporin , here Aqua means water and porin means pore or channel. So it is clear from there name, that they form pores on the surface of biological membranes, and mainly water transports through it.    This channels are composed mainly of six transmembrane Alpha helices. As they are integral proteins so they embedded in the cell membrane, the amino and carboxyl ends face the inside half of the cell.    Aquaporin creats four part clusters in the cell membrane, they are the monomers and all of them serves as water channel.   In mammals there are 13 known types are present ,it is astonishing that among them 6 are present in kidney ...

Nerve Gas

  These are one one kind of phosphorus containing organic chemicals (known as organophosphate ) which distrupt the total procedure of neuro muscular transmission by inhibiting the enzyme Acetyl choline estarase at the synaptic cleft.   Nerve gases divide into two subclasses 1. G series : Tabun,  Satin,  Soman are common among them. 2. V series : VE,  VG,  VM, VR.   Some insecticides such as Dichlorvos , Parathion , Malathion fall in this genre.

Zollinger -Ellison syndrome

  This is a very rare condition where small tumors known as Gastrinoma developed in the digestive tract. Specially on the Stomach but in the other part also like small intestine , Pancreas etc.     This tumors secrete Gastrin which is a hormone, in large amount. Gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion a great deal. The excessive secretion of gastric acid try to neutralize the mucous membrane on the inner part of the stomach and therefore causes inflammation here and there which ultimately turn into ulcer. In common tounge we called it gastric ulcer .     Once a people got effected with this syndrome are often hard to cure.     This syndrome can appear at any age but the people in between 30 - 60 age group are more vulnerable to this.     Once developed the tumours can spread upto liver and lymph nodes and turn to cancer.
