Hormone Replacement Therapy(HRT) is indicated in menopausal women to overcome the short-term and long- term consequences of estrogen deficiency.HRT can be administered orally( in pill form),vaginally( as a cream),or transdermally ( in patch form) because it replaces female hormones produced by the ovaries, hormone replacement therapy minimize menopause symptoms. It can be used before, during and after menopause
Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body's cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.
The term "care transitions" refers to the movement patients make between health care practitioners and settings as their condition and care needs change during the course of a chronic or acute illness.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Identify classifications of chemotherapy.
Discuss side effects and toxicities of chemotherapy.
Verbalize an understanding of safe chemotherapy
handling in the home.
Discuss safe administration of chemotherapy in the
home.
Identify patient teaching points relating to home
chemotherapy.
3. Chemotherapy is a category of cancer treatment that
uses chemical substances that are given as part of a
regimen. Most often, the treatment plan will also include
surgery and/or radiation.
Chemotherapy may be given with the following intent:
o Curing the Cancer
o Slowing the cancer’s growth
o Preventing the cancer from spreading
o Relieving symptoms caused by cancer
4. The chemotherapy treatment plan is most often given in
cycles, which is determined by the physician.
The cycle will vary depending on the type of cancer and
type of chemotherapy agent used.
There is usually a rest period in between the cycles to
allow the body and blood counts to recover before the
next dose of chemotherapy is given.
5. Depending on the type of cancer and where it is found,
chemotherapy may be given via different routes
including the following:
o Oral
o Subcutaneous
o Intravenous
o Intra-arterial
o Intrathecal/Intraventricular
o Intraperitoneal
o Intrapleural
o Intravesicular
o Intralesional
6. Some treatment regimes may include the chemotherapy
to be administered via multiple routes simultaneously.
When the route of chemotherapy is not specified or
unclear, clarification of the order is necessary to prevent
a medication error.
When chemotherapy is given via intravenous route for
an extended period of time, a vascular access device will
be placed. The following are examples of the types of
catheters placed for chemotherapy:
o Mediport
o Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)
o Central Venous Catheter (Tunneled or Non-tunneled)
7. Chemotherapy can be administered in the hospital, out-
patient oncology clinic or in the patient’s home. The setting
will be determined by the type of chemotherapy agent used,
physician preference, patient’s insurance and safety profiles
of the chemotherapy agents needing to be administered.
8. Besides being classified as cell cycle-specific
(chemotherapy kills cells that are in a specific phase
and actively dividing) or non-specific agents, cytotoxic
drugs are also classified based on their biochemical
structure and mechanism of action.
Classifications of cytotoxic drugs include the following:
o Alkylating Agents
o Antimetabolites
o Antitumor Antibiotics
o Plant Alkaloids
o Hormone Therapy
o Biological Cancer Therapies
9. Interfere with DNA replication to prevent cancer cells
from reproducing
Most alkylating agents are cell cycle non-specific
Alkylating agents can produce major toxicities affecting
the hematopoietic, gastrointestinal and reproductive
systems
These drugs are active against chronic leukemia, non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple
myeloma and some cancers of the lung, breast and
ovary
Examples of alkylating agents include the following:
carboplatin, cisplatin and ifosfamide
10. Interfere with DNA and RNA growth.
Most antimetabolites are cell cycle specific.
Antimetabolites can produce major toxicities affecting the
hematopoietic and gastrointestinal systems.
Antimetabolites are used to treat chronic leukemias as
well as tumors of the breast, ovary and gastrointestinal
tract
Examples of antimetabolites include the following: 5-
fluorouracil, capecitabine and methotrexate
11. Interfere with DNA by stopping enzymes needed for cell
division or by altering the membranes that surround
cells.
Antitumor Antibiotics are cell cycle non-specific.
Antitumor Antibiotics can produce major toxicities
affecting the hematopoietic, gastrointestinal,
reproductive, and cardiovascular systems.
Examples of antitumor antibiotics include the following:
mitomycin-C, doxorubicin and daunorubicin
12. Inhibit cancer cell growth by preventing cellular mitosis
or division.
Most plant alkaloids are cell cycle specific
Plant Alkaloids can produce major toxicities affecting the
hematopoietic, integumentary, neurologic and
reproductive systems.
Examples of plant alkaloids include the following:
vincristine, vinblastine, and vinorelbine.
13. A systemic therapy that works to add, block or remove
hormones from the body to slow or stop the growth of
cancer cells.
There are two types of hormonal agents: corticosteroids
and sex hormones
Corticosteroids are used to treat leukemia, multiple
myeloma and lymphoma and are used to reduce
swelling around tumors of the brain and spinal cord. Ex:
Prednisone & Dexamethosone
Sex hormones are used to control the growth of breast,
uterine and prostate cancer. Ex: Tamoxifen & Leuprolide
Can have a range of side effects depending on type of
cancer involved (hot flashes, decreased sex drive, mood
changes, joint/muscle pain and osteoporosis).
14. Strengthen the body’s immune system to fight the growth
of cancer.
Various biological response modifiers include
monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy, oncolytic viral
therapy, cytokines.
These drugs are active against breast cancer, non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, renal cell carcinoma and
malignant melanoma.
The side effects can often include the following: flu-like
symptoms (chills, fever, muscle aches, weakness), loss
of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Some patients develop a rash and some bleed or bruise
easily.
Examples include Herceptin, Avastin, Erbitux and
Rituxan.
