There are creation allergens like specific-category drug allergies (sulphur drugs, etc.), lactose intolerance and so on which is specific to the patient.

All these are contributing factors to delay or derail medical treatment. This chapter has suggested that each individual should have a dedicated health database where all the health-related information is recorded instantly in real time basis so that during future medical treatment the doctor can access certain information protocol after acquiring appropriate authorisation.

A total of 129 BC subjects and age-matched 13 healthy controls have participated in the present study. Subjects with diabetes, cardiac illness history, fibroadenosis, hypertension, mental illness and infectious diseases have been excluded. Thus 114 subjects have finally evaluated including 12 subjects in ECOG0, 8 in ECOG1, 24 in ECOG2, 32 in ECOG3 and 38 in ECOG4. The demograph has been given in Table 1. Six subjects had family history of cancer. In surgery group, 15 subjects were of simple mastectomy, 31 of modified radical mastectomy (MRM) and 4 of lumpectomy. Different histopathological types are infiltrating ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma and Paget’s disease of nipple. The cancer has metastatised to lung, bone or liver which has been found in 7 subjects with 90–97% oxygen saturation. Different chemotherapeutic agents have been used including doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, 5-flurouracil, paclitaxel, docetaxel and epirubicin.

A total of 28 young (20.9 ± 2.8 years) males participated in this study. Inclusion criteria consisted of the following: (1) 18–29 years of age, (2) classified low-risk for exercise testing as categorized by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2013, p. 26), and (3) participation in endurance-based exercise (running, cycling, swimming, etc.) a minimum of two times per week for ≥ 1 year determined via the rapid assessment of physical activity form (RAPA) (Topolski, LoGerfo, Patrick, Williams, & Patrick, 2006). Low-risk for exercise testing can be described by absence of known or signs/symptoms of cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic diseases. In addition, the exclusion of two or more cardiovascular disease risk (age, family history, cigarette smoking, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or prediabetes). Subjects reporting certain lifestyle factors (i.e. smoking) or diseases (i.e. diabetes, asthma) that decrease NO production were excluded from participation. Subjects consuming any supplements that may counteract with CM within the previous six months including branched-chain amino acids, creatine monohydrate, protein, L-arginine, and/or CM were excluded from participation. To ensure subjects met inclusion criteria, all individuals completed a health history questionnaire before testing began. All subjects were required to sign a statement of informed consent approved by Louisiana Tech University’s Institutional Review Board.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and global statistics show that the incidence of the disease is rising [3,4] and about 10% of them affect at different stages in their lives.

There are some symptoms which can be detected as cancer disease, but the problem is that some of these symptoms are also a part of the other diseases.
