Surviving Medical School Trying Times
This document provides tips for surviving medical school. It advises students to follow lectures to build a foundation of knowledge and re-read materials to fully understand new concepts. Students are told to read efficiently and avoid distractions. Maintaining a work-life balance is also important - students should enjoy their time in medical school through friendships and occasional breaks, while still prioritizing their studies. Commitment, hard work, and helping patients are keys to finding reward in becoming a physician.
Jennie Popay - A cautionary tale: Serendipity and a career in Research
This document discusses the role of serendipity in research careers. It describes encountering a linguistic sage at Harvard Medical School, witnessing the serendipitous birth of penicillin, and meeting someone who "manages serendipity" for the U.S. Navy. The document argues that discovery is a messy blend of inspiration, perspiration, error, and happy chance, rather than being strictly defined. It presents serendipity as an important factor in research careers.

This document describes a new method for recruiting participants for research called FARSITE. FARSITE allows researchers to systematically search medical records at multiple general practitioner (GP) sites to identify potential participants who meet eligibility criteria for a study. For a study called CLASSIC evaluating integrated care in Salford, UK, FARSITE was used to search records at 34 GP practices to identify over 13,000 eligible older patients with long-term conditions. Questionnaires were then mailed directly to patients' homes through a company called Docmail, minimizing the impact on GP and practice staff time. The use of FARSITE and Docmail made the recruitment process more efficient, standardized, and engaged GPs without overburdening practice staff

This document summarizes a study exploring the experiences of stroke survivors and their carers in managing medications after being discharged from the hospital. It finds that they face various practical challenges with dexterity, swallowing, cognition and lack of knowledge about how to take medications. They also have motivational issues due to the preventative nature and lack of evidence the medications are working. Strategies used to manage medications include dosette boxes, reminders, and support from carers. The conclusion calls for improved patient education before discharge and support for those living alone or on multiple medications.

Dr. Tracey Williamson presented the key findings from two dementia environment studies conducted in 2014. The studies evaluated capital improvement projects across residential care homes, mental health trusts, and acute hospital trusts in Greater Manchester. Several learning points emerged, including the importance of comprehensive stakeholder engagement, supporting environmental changes with training, and planning evaluation from the outset to fully understand the impact of any design changes on patients and staff. Overall, the studies found that dementia-friendly environments can be enhanced through relatively low-cost approaches and that such changes are most effective when integrated into whole-system care rather than implemented alone.

This document discusses acute kidney injury (AKI) and describes an AKI Care app being developed to improve physician education and patient care for AKI. The app aims to help assess AKI risk factors, recognize AKI, treat complications, and determine if renal referral is needed. It calculates AKI stage and provides treatment advice. Early user data shows it is being used mostly by junior doctors to assess AKI and its complications, and 60% of users interact with the app's treatment guidance. Further development will focus on integrating it directly into local clinical systems and identifying opportunities for testing with real patients.

How to Control Your Asthma Tips by gokuldas hospital.
Respiratory issues like asthma are the most sensitive issue that is affecting millions worldwide. It hampers the daily activities leaving the body tired and breathless.
The key to a good grip on asthma is proper knowledge and management strategies. Understanding the patient-specific symptoms and carving out an effective treatment likewise is the best way to keep asthma under control.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.

In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
