Disability Insurance
Disability insurance provides income benefits if a person is unable to work due to illness or injury. There are two main types: short-term disability has a maximum benefit period of up to two years, while long-term disability has a maximum period ranging from a few years to life. Coverage can be for inability to work in your own occupation or any occupation. Most plans do not cover disabilities from drug abuse, suicide attempts, war or crimes. Protection features include policies being noncancelable or guaranteed renewable.

The document outlines the various benefits offered by Prime Marketing Inc. to its employees, including health and dental insurance, paid vacations and holidays, disability and life insurance, retirement plans like 401(k) and pension, an employee assistance program, and unemployment insurance. It also mentions potential additional benefits like a company car, flex time, and use of the company jet. The overall goal is to promote happy and satisfied employees.
Income protection insurance
Income protection insurance provides an income if someone is unable to work due to sickness or injury. It has a fixed term up to retirement age or 70 and premiums cannot increase. The insurance pays income for the duration of illness or incapacity up to a maximum of 70% of earned income. Benefits are paid for short and long term incapacity after a deferred period and the insurance cannot be canceled once accepted by the provider.
Short and long term disability insurance
Short and long term disability insurance is fully paid by IPMM and provides income replacement for employees unable to work due to accident or illness. Short term disability covers absences from work for medical reasons like illness or injury requiring time off, or for planned medical procedures, while long term disability provides continued income for those unable to work for extended periods. Both short and long term disability aim to financially protect employees' ability to earn income when unable to work.

This document discusses non-subscribers in workers' compensation insurance. Non-subscribers are employers who opt out of mandatory workers' compensation programs in some states like Texas. They must instead provide alternate injury benefits to employees. Some reasons employers choose this option are that it allows more control over benefits and providers while potentially being less expensive. Non-subscribers have reporting requirements to state agencies and face liability risks if employees sue, so many purchase alternative non-subscriber insurance policies.

IRS Delays Key Provision Of The Affordable Care Act
The document discusses how the IRS has announced a one-year delay of the employer mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act until 2015. This includes delaying the requirements for employers to offer sufficient and affordable health coverage to full-time employees as well as any associated reporting requirements. However, many other ACA provisions remain on schedule for 2014 such as the establishment of public health insurance exchanges and premium subsidies.

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.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
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.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health

Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
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.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Helminthiasis or Worm infestation in Children for Nursing students
