Este informe describe una práctica de laboratorio sobre circuitos eléctricos realizada por un estudiante. El estudiante simuló circuitos RL y RLC para determinar las potencias activa, reactiva y aparente, y calcular el factor de potencia. Al agregar una capacitancia al circuito RL, el factor de potencia debería mejorar pero los cálculos no mostraron esto, por lo que el estudiante concluye que los resultados no son lógicos.

June is cancer awareness month at Staff Management | SMX. To promote cancer awareness across our company, the Diversity Program Inclusion Council created this presentation to share statistics, cancer facts and testimonials from two Staff Management | SMX cancer survivors.
Breast cancer is taking the spotlight, and getting more money than any other type of cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women and prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men, so you'd think that they would get equal fundings toward research and prevention; but they don't.
The American Cancer Society and other organizations collaborated to raise awareness of colorectal cancer screening in Queens, NY through the Main Streets Go Blue initiative. They held a press conference with local officials to discuss the importance of screening that received media coverage. This was followed by a free screening event where uninsured individuals received screening kits. Nearly 100 people received potentially life-saving screenings who otherwise may not have due to barriers. The collaboration successfully increased colorectal cancer screening awareness and access in the Queens community.

Lessons to improve our reporting on evidence - analysis of 1,600 stories over...Gary Schwitzer
This document summarizes lessons from analyzing 1,600 health news stories over 6 years. It finds that most stories fail to adequately discuss costs, quantify benefits and harms, evaluate evidence quality, and compare new options to existing ones. There is also a tendency to emphasize benefits and minimize harms. Screening stories in particular are often one-sided and promote false certainty. Overall, health journalism could be improved by providing more balanced and evidence-based reporting.

The early symptoms of ovarian cancer are easily missed and often confused with gastrointestinal issues like bloating, constipation, and pelvic pain. There are no reliable screening tests for ovarian cancer detection. Risk factors include family history, never using birth control pills, and having fewer or no children. While ovarian cancer can be deadly, treatments have improved and many women now live longer with the disease. It is important for women with symptoms or risk factors to see a gynecological oncologist for evaluation and care.
The document provides a resource guide for materials from the NYS DOH Cancer Services Program to promote cancer screening. It includes public education materials on breast, cervical, colorectal, and prostate cancer. It also lists professional development resources for providers, as well as presentations and technical assistance available from CSP staff on cancer screening best practices.
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem through prevention, saving lives, and reducing suffering from this disease. The organization tracks cancer data including incidence, mortality, survival rates, risk factors, and estimated new cases and deaths.

The organization provides a community for cancer survivors and funds research with the goal of eventually eliminating cancer.
Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at age 48 in 2003, with symptoms starting at age 24. He died from the disease at age 56 in 2011. Vitamin D from moderate sun exposure without sunscreen may help lower the risk of certain cancers like pancreatic, as it is nearly 50% less likely in those with higher vitamin D levels from sun exposure. While surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have been standard cancer treatments for decades, they have shown little improvement in overall survival rates for all cancers in the last 55 years. Alternative non-toxic treatments exist but are suppressed.
This newsletter from Senology.org provides information on recent developments in breast cancer research and treatment. It includes summaries of 8 recent studies on topics such as the association between night work and breast cancer risk, the effect of adjuvant ultrasound screening, and the use of tumor markers to detect circulating tumor cells. It also lists upcoming conferences, and references a comment discussing further classification of triple negative breast cancer using the Ki-67 marker.

Breast Cancer Screening Essay
The document discusses the benefits of mammograms in detecting breast cancer early, especially for women in their forties and fifties. However, mammograms have limitations as they can miss some cancers and lead to unnecessary biopsies. Women should be informed of both the benefits and limitations of regular breast cancer screening. The purpose of mammograms is to find small breast cancers early, but they can be difficult to detect in women with dense breast tissue. Screening mammograms have been found to identify 66% of breast cancers in women and 51% in women under 50.

Documentary Explores Men’s Feelings about Prostate Cancer; Lets Fellow Patients Know They Are Not Alone
1. Documentary Explores Men’s Feelings about Prostate
Cancer; Lets Fellow Patients Know They Are Not Alone
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) has released a
first-of-its-kind documentary that chronicles the emotions and issues faced by prostate cancer
patients. Men's Retreat was filmed during a three-day period when 12 patients and survivors were
assembled in Washington D.C. Their discussions are frank and from the heart and will help other
men diagnosed with the disease and their caregivers understand that they are not alone.
"We hope this documentary will serve as an important resource for patients and families affected by
prostate cancer," said Dan Zenka, senior vice president of communications for PCF. "All too often,
men shut down and refuse to talk about the issues surrounding prostate cancer and their personal
experiences in navigating through treatment. This documentary will enable other men to 'peek
through the window' and realize that much of what they are going through and feeling is shared by
others. We hope it will provide validation, encouragement and hope for those who view it."
Zenka is a Stage IV prostate cancer patient who, in a touch of irony, was diagnosed two years after
joining the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Despite annual exams and PSA tests, he was diagnosed with
an aggressive form of the disease. Three days after his diagnosis, he started blogging about the
disease and his treatments, including a radical prostatectomy, seven weeks of radiation therapy and
two years of hormone therapy. The blog, www.mynewyorkminute.org, provides an open forum of
discussion for men across the globe.
Men's Retreat is 85 minutes in length and features a special discussion between the 12 participants
and Andy von Eschenbach, former director of the National Cancer Institute and former
Commissioner of the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration. Von Eschenbach is a prostate
cancer survivor. The Documentary can be viewed in its entirety or in individual chapters on Zenka's
cancer blog.
"PCF is grateful to those who participated in the making of this one-of-a-kind documentary. Their
courage and openness is a service to many," added Zenka.
The documentary is dedicated to the memory of Trip Casscells, former Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs, who participated in the film and provided the location for the retreat. Just
weeks after filming, Trip lost his 10-year battle to advanced prostate cancer. His participation in five
clinical trials helped pave the way for new treatments for many patients.
About the Prostate Cancer Foundation
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world's largest philanthropic source of support for
accelerating the most promising research for better treatments and cures for prostate cancer.
Founded in 1993, PCF has raised more than $520 million and provided funding to more than 1,600
research programs at nearly 200 cancer centers and universities in 15 countries. PCF advocates for
greater awareness of prostate cancer and more efficient investment of governmental research funds
for transformational cancer research. Its efforts have helped produce a 20-fold increase in
government funding for prostate cancer. More information about the PCF can be found at
www.pcf.org.
