Solid tumours, which develop in the breast, colon, lung, and other organs, contain an inner core with high pressure zones that compress and collapse blood vessels, often preventing the penetration of blood-borne cancer treatments. It spreads to distant sites by the breaking off of malignant cells, which move through the blood and lymphatic systems, attach themselves, and begin to grow as new colonies.

Because some mosquitoes contain substances toxic to Plasmodium in their cells, not all species of mosquitoes are vectors of Plasmodium. Although very specific, malaria still causes disruption of over three hundred million people worldwide each year (Cann, 1996). The life cycle of the parasite causing malaria exists between two organisms, humans and the .....

Families are forced to watch their loved one deteriorate and in the mean time put their own lives on hold to care for the ill patient that has lost all will to live.
