Conventional radiotherapy treatments are delivered with radiation beams that are of uniform intensity across the field (within the flatness specification limits). Wedges or compensators are used to modify the intensity profile to offset contour in irregularities and produce more uniform composite dose distributions such as in techniques using wedges. This process of changing beam intensity profile to meet the goals of a composite plan is called intensity modulation
IMRT refers to a radiation therapy technique in which nonuniform fluence is delivered to the patient from any given position of the treatment beam to optimize the composite dose distribution. The optimal fluence profiles for a given set of beam directions are determined through inverse planning. The fluence files thus generated are electronically transmitted to the linear accelerator, which is computer controlled, to deliver intensity modulated beams (IMBs) as calculated.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

2. Gamma Knife
• The Gamma Knife is an advanced
radiation treatment for adults and
children.
• It is done only for tumors and other
medical problems of the head.
• It is a machine that delivers a single,
finely focused, high dose of radiation to
its target, while causing little or no
damage to surrounding tissue.
• It is a minimally invasive technique.
3. Gamma Knife used to Treat
• Small to medium brain tumors
• Abnormal blood vessel formations called arteriovenous
malformations
• Epilepsy
• Trigeminal neuralgia (a nerve condition that causes chronic pain,
and other neurological conditions).
• Abnormalities measuring less than 3 centimeters, or 1 inch in
diameter, can be treated with the Gamma Knife.
• Acoustic neuroma (a noncancerous tumor in the brain that
affects the nerves that control hearing).
4. Factors Considered for Gamma
Knife
• Age
• General medical condition
• Location and size of the
brain abnormality
• Previous treatments
5. Why choose Gamma Knife?
• It is the latest advancement in noninvasive radiosurgery
treatment of tumors and abnormalities in the brain.
• Gamma Knife radiosurgery results in minimal damage to
healthy tissues surrounding the target.
• Low risk of side effects.
• Gamma Knife radiosurgery is often a safer option than is
traditional brain surgery.
• One-time therapy completed in a single day.
6. • It removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks
associated with conventional surgery.
• It may be used as an alternative to standard neurosurgical
operations or as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment.
• No surgical incision is required.

7. How does Gamma Knife
radiosurgery work?
• Radiosurgery works in the same manner as other types of therapeutic
radiology. It destroys the DNA of tumor cells, causing them to be unable to
reproduce and grow.
Steps involves in Gamma Knife treatment :
• Head Frame Placement - In order to keep the head from moving during
treatment, a box-shaped frame is attached to the head. Pins designed
specifically for this purpose fasten the head frame to the skull. The head
frame also is a guide to focus the gamma ray beams to the exact location of
the lesion being treated.
8. • Tumor Or Lesion Location Imagine - Once the head frame is in
place, the exact location of the lesion to be treated will be determined
using computed tomography (CT scan) or magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI).
• Radiation Dose Planning - After the CT or MRI scan has been
completed, the radiation therapy team will determine the treatment
plan. The results of the imaging scan, along with other information,
will be used by a medical physicist to determine the best treatment.
9. • Radiation Treatment - After being positioned for the treatment, a
type of helmet with many hundreds of holes in it is placed over the
head frame. These holes help to focus the radiation beams on the
target. Treatment will last a few minutes up to a few hours,
depending on the type and location of the area being treated.
Generally, only one treatment session is required for a lesion.
