Learning About Our Hormones

Written by Dr. Daemon Jones on November 3, 2009 - 8:59am

According to Merriam-Webster’s medical dictionary the endocrine system is a group of body organs or structures that together perform one or more vital functions. The endocrine system releases secretions from glands into the bloodstream so they can act on specific organs to support the vital functions of the body. The secretions that are released from the glands are called hormones. Hormones are chemical substances produced in the body that regulate or modulate activity of the target cell or organ.

Peripheral Neuropathy as a Result of Cancer

Written by Elizabeth Stann... on October 21, 2009 - 4:13pm

Peripheral neuropathy is a neurological condition involving damage to the peripheral nerves—the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, ten to 20 percent of cancer patients develop peripheral neuropathy during their course of treatment. While peripheral neuropathy adds an additional strain to a cancer patient's treatment and recovery, the American Society of Clinical Oncology notes that “many people recover fully from the disorder over time, whether it is in a few months or a few years.”
