1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and for nearly 30% of them, the cancer will metastasize.
Today, an estimated 150,000 to 250,000 women and men are living with metastatic breast cancerin the US.
The average survival for a metastatic diagnosis is only 3 years.

Retinal consideration in cataract surgery

KafrELShiekh University

Thoracotomy is the surgical procedure with an incision made to access the pleural space and the contents of the thoracic cavity. Given the structures to be accessed with in the cavity, different incisions have been established to easy the procedure and these incisions qualify the types of thoracotomies to be studied hereunder. PRE OP OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECIFIC FACTORS The outcome of surgical procedures is not measured only by clinical end points but also shorter stays and lower costs. Patients’ discharge is delayed commonly due to inadequate pain relief, infection, arrhythmias, prolonged air leak and debility. Many complications that occur from thoracic operations can be anticipated. An aggressive preoperative work up mitigates morbidity and shortens convalescence. APPROACH CONSIDERATIONS There are about three principles that can guides the choice of the thoracotomy incision to be used I. Adequate exposure must be achieved. The choice of incision is aided by a thorough understanding of the surface anatomy and a comprehensive review of the radiographic images that are obtained preoperatively. II. Chest-wall function and appearance should be preserved to the extent possible. This principle include non-spreading video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) procedures, muscle-sparing techniques, avoidance of excessive rib retraction, and rib preservation when possible. III. The third principle is that closure must be meticulous and appropriate. Strict layered closure is the rule for thoracic surgical incisions. Every effort should be made to approximate the individual divided chest-wall muscles in appropriate layers; otherwise, a significant delay in the recovery of range of motion (ROM) may result. Care must be taken to avoid over approximating the ribs and to prevent an override; this will help minimize postoperative pain. POST-OPERATIVE CARE AND MONITORING

Overview: Join Dr. Faiza in this in-depth lecture on cardiac impulse and the rhythmical excitation of the heart. This presentation covers the intricate pathways and mechanisms that ensure the efficient conduction of electrical impulses through the heart, leading to coordinated myocardial contractions. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the normal sequence of cardiac depolarization, the specialized conductive pathways, and the ionic basis of pacemaker potentials. Learning Objectives: Trace the normal sequence of cardiac depolarization via specialized conductive pathways and cardiac myocytes. Illustrate the velocity of conduction of cardiac impulses through these pathways. Draw and label a typical pacemaker action potential. Describe the ionic basis of various phases of the pacemaker potential. Key Topics: Generation of Impulse: Mechanisms of rhythmical excitation in the heart. Conduction of Impulse: How impulses are transmitted and why atrial syncytium contracts ahead of ventricular syncytium. Specialized Excitatory & Conductive System: Detailed examination of the SA node, AV node, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. SA Nodal Action Potential: Phases of pacemaker potential, ionic movements, and self-excitation mechanisms. Transmission Pathways: Role of anterior and posterior fascicles, internodal, and interatrial pathways. Clinical Significance: Implications of delayed conduction and conditions like Stokes-Adams syndrome and ectopic pacemakers. Target Audience: This lecture is tailored for medical students, physiology scholars, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in cardiac physiology and the mechanisms of cardiac impulse conduction. It is particularly beneficial for those preparing for exams or seeking to enhance their clinical knowledge in Applied physiology of cardiovascular system and internal medicine.

This video by Simplilearn will explain to you Introduction to C Programming Language. Introduction to C Programming Language Tutorial For Beginners will explain to you the C language's history, C's importance, its features, real-world applications, and some of its advantages and disadvantages. 00:00 Introduction to C 1:42-History of C language Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, could identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid. Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry. 2:48-Importance and unraveling the powerful capabilities of C, The widespread use of C started to take over the IT industry. Unraveling the potential of C, the designers began to discover new possibilities that led them to focus on the big picture. 3:56-C's cutting-edge features The designers at Bell Laboratories ensured that their programming language solved the issues with B and BCPL and the ones they had foreseen. 6:35-The popular real-world applications of C -UNIX operating system -google file system -Mozilla -Graphical user interface 8:30-The advantages and disadvantages of C 10:34-The popular IT companies and their domains that employ C · MasterCard · IBM · Flipkart · Dell · Twitter · GitHub and twitch 11:09-First c program. 🔥 Explore our FREE courses with completion certificates: https://www.simplilearn.com/skillup-f... ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about the top Technologies: https://bit.ly/2VT4WtH ⏩ Check out the C++ Programming training videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... #IntroductiontoCProgrammingLanguage #CLanguage #CProgramming #CProgram #CProgrammingLanguage #LearnCProgramming #HowToCodeInCForBeginners #CTutorialForBeginners #LearnCProgramming #Simplilearn Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid. Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry. ✅What is C++ Programming? C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations. ✅C++ Career Prospects: With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack
