Cancerous cells and HIV virus multiply in a similar way, both express the same molecules.Certain cancer therapies, like checkpoint inhibitors, could successfully treat HIV.

HIV and cancer patients need strong immune systems to fight diseases; strong immune system can reduce spread of tumours in cancer patients and subdued deadly virus in HIV patients.

Cancer treatment could clear HIV virus, by activating HIV that lies dormant in the patients' cells, because the present HIV drug is unable to detect and kill hidden virus.

Checkpoint inhibitors support the immune system in its fight against cancer, this kind of drug may also activate HIV that lies dormant in cells, and strengthen the immune system to kill the the virus.

Glioblastoma GBM is the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain. Glioblastomas are tumors that developed from astrocytes- supportive tissue of the brain.

Glioblastomas are found in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain, but can be found anywhere in the brain or spinal cord. It can cause brain bleeding, which may have been related to the clot.

These tumors are cancerous because the cells reproduce quickly and they are supported by a large network of blood vessels.

There two types of glioblastoma
Primary - The tumors are common and very aggressive.
Secondary - These tumors have slower growth rate and very aggressive.

Common symptoms are - headache, nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. Depending on the location of the tumor, patients can develop different symptoms like weakness on one side of the body, memory and speech difficulties, and visual changes.

The exact cause of glioblastoma is not known. It can be difficult to treat because the tumors contain so many different types of cells. Some cells may respond very well to certain therapies, while others may not be improve.

However, because of the way it spreads, it is impossible to remove every microscopic growth from the brain. Therefore, it will continue to grow.

Radiation and chemotherapy may be used to slow the growth of tumors that cannot be removed with surgery.
Patients have a ten percent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis.

controlling the symptoms, normalizing the lungs function and adjusting medication in response to changes.

Bronchodilator is used for treatment of chronic asthma. Acute exacerbations in people with mild persistent, moderate persistent, and severe persistent asthma.

A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing resistance in the respiratory airway and increasing airflow to the lungs.

Inhaler is recommended for all asthma patients, patients with more constant asthma should use asthma maintenance medications.

Effective treatment for asthma must involve a physical and breathing examination, spirometry testing should be repeated every year if the patient did not get better.

Chest imaging is recommended if the patient has a smoking history, chemical exposure, lungs disease and lungs cancer.

Asthma control medication
For mild intermittent asthma- Cromolyn sodium, nedocromil, low-dose inhaled corticosteroid and leukotriene modifier are used.

Moderate persistent asthma medium dose inhaled corticosteroid alone with cromolyn sodium or nedocromil, leukotriene modifier and long-acting bronchodilator.

Severe persistent asthma - High-dose inhaled corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids; high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus leukotriene modifier, plus long-acting bronchodilator, plus leukotriene modifier, plus long-acting bronchodilator.

Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. The cancers can start from different parts of the breast. It can start from the ducts that carry milk to the nipple or in the glands that make breast milk.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA has approved Nerlynx a once-daily oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer.

Nerlynx is a prescription medicine used to treat adults who have early-stage breast cancer, which is HER2-positive and has previously been treated with the medicine trastuzumab.

Nerlynx may cause serious side effects like diarrhea, liver problems, fatigue,
vomiting, fever, rash, right upper abdominal pain, weight loss and urinary tract infection UTI.

Lying face down called prone radiation, to receive radiation therapy to the breast area reduces the amount of radiation that reaches the heart and lungs and protects them from damage.

When patients receive radiotherapy from X-ray radiation which destroys cancer cells, the radiation may destroy lungs and the heart if the patient lie on her back, lying on face protects and exempts the heart and lungs from the radiation.

Treatments that prevent or reduce the heart and lungs from radiation are very important to prevents heart and lungs damage. Prone radiotherapy makes it easy to treat large breast without heart and lungs damage.

Arthritis patients or those suffering from back pain may not be able to benefit from this method, women who are not comfortable lying on their stomach for a long period of time may not use prone radiation.

Tall and overweight men are at the risk of developing prostate cancer. A six foot tall man has a 21 per cent risk of prostate cancer than a man who is five feet because tall men have higher levels of growth hormones.

Putting on weight around the middle changes testosterone levels, which may also lead to cancer. Higher body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference also increases the risk of prostate cancer.

Overweight men have high insulin levels in their blood, which is linked to prostate cancer. Larger prostate in tall men and the growth hormones which made them tall increase the risk of the cancer.

Healthy diets, regular physical activities, regular ejaculation, regular medical checks and healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of prostate cancer irrespective of a man's height.

Cosmetics also known as makeup are substances used to change the appearance of the body. Common cosmetics are face powder, lipstick, nail polish, mascara, eye shadow, skin cleansers and skin lotions.

Some of the chemicals used to make cosmetics are not safe for human skin. Some non toxic cosmetics are toxic because of the adverse effects experienced by different users of the products.

Researchers discovered that some personal care products that can cause skin cancer are baby products, hair care, tattoos and skincare. Some of the toxic chemicals in cosmetics are Paraben, Triclosan, Toluene, Fragrance and Propyleneglycol.

Skin is equivalent to mouth, don't put on your skin what you can not put in your mouth. Chemicals absorbed through the skin does not pass through the gut, it will go directly to the bloodstream. Always consider your skin health before applying cosmetics on it.

Zika virus infection can cause brain damage and sometimes death of fetus in the womb, it infects the fetus by manipulating the normal barrier to infection in the body.

Exposure to zika virus activated genes related to autophagy, the virus multiply in the placenta, autophagy process in the placenta promotes zika's survival and it infects the placental cells.

The malaria drug, Hydroxychloroquine suppresses the autophagy response, this reduces the virus in the fetuses and placentas.
With this suppression, their is less damage and the fetuses grow normally.

The malaria drug protects the fetus from the zika virus even when the virus is still present in the mother. It effectively blocks viral transmission to the fetus by interfering with the process of zika virus infection transmission and protects fetus from viral infection.

Hydroxychloroquine suppresses the autophagy response, this reduces the virus in the fetuses and placentas.
