Venous thromboembolism (VTE) may be the earliest sign of cancer.
Currently, there is a great diversity in practices regarding screening for occult cancer in a person who has an unprovoked VTE .
We sought to assess the efficacy of a screening strategy for occult cancer that included comprehensive computed tomography(CT) of the abdomen and pelvis in patients who had a first unprovoked VTE .

The pattern of cancer incidence in Yemen (2000-2011)
Hadhramout Sector in Yemen constitutes of three governorates (Hadhramout, Shabwa, & Almahra) with a population of 1,684,373 inhabitants. Cancer cases reported from the different health care facilities are registered in Hadhramout Cancer Registry (HCR) as a population-based cancer registry. This paper describes the incidence of cancer in the period of 10 years time (2000–2011).
Methodology: The data was analyzed using the CanReg4 Programme and the incidence rate was calculated based on the mid-time total population in each period.
Results: The cancers were more frequent in females with age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) for them of (28) while for males was (22.1). The three most common types were breast (15.6%), leukemia (6.2%), and Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma (6%). In the pediatric group, leukemia (20.5%) was the most common cancer.
Conclusions: Breast cancer in females and hematological malignancies in males were the most frequent types of malignancies. Leukemia was the most common cancer in children.
Our results generally indicate that the pattern of the most common registered cancer bears some similarities with Aden and Gulf's data with some differences that necessitate further evaluation.

Volunteer Programs Abroad enable you to gain leadership experience abroad and immerse yourself in another culture while serving a greater good. Many organizations and graduate programs look for individuals who volunteer their time and willingly involve themselves in projects to serve others. By participating in a volunteer program abroad, you can roll a study abroad experience, leadership experience, and volunteerism into one.

Weaving a Web: Linking Education Abroad with Career ExplorationCIEE
Education abroad can serve as an effective laboratory for developing flexible analytical, collaborative, and communication skills sought by employers. As education abroad professionals, have we made broad-based skill development a key outcome for education abroad? Should career development be an important priority for every student going abroad? What are effective ways to help study abroad students integrate thinking about educational and career development trajectories? This session will start a conversation about collaborations and initiatives that engage this increasingly relevant and educationally rich sector of our work.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
