This document provides an overview of intravenous fluid therapy. It discusses the different types of fluids including isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic, crystalloid and colloid solutions. Isotonic fluids like 0.9% sodium chloride and lactated Ringer's solution are used to treat hypovolemia and fluid deficit. Dextrose 5% provides free water but does not replace electrolytes. Hypotonic fluids shift fluid into cells while hypertonic fluids draw fluid out of cells. Colloid solutions like albumin expand intravascular volume through their higher oncotic pressure. Precautions are discussed for each type of fluid to avoid fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and other complications.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document discusses how makeup helped several people deal with cancer and its effects. Matthew found strength through being a survivor. Wendy was able to pass the mirror without fear due to makeup. Michelle's life was changed by the easy techniques in a book. Carol and her husband went out to dinner for the first time in 6 months after her cancer treatment. The most giving way to help children with cancer is to treat them normally. Lori's message is that you can go through cancer treatment and still look like yourself.
This document discusses hormone-driven cancers, focusing on breast and prostate cancer. It covers how hormones influence the architecture and proliferation of tissues like breast, and the role of estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones in cancer development. It describes the heterogeneity of breast cancer and the cancer stem cell theory. Key pathways discussed include estrogen signaling, DNA repair involving BRCA1, Wnt signaling, and the roles of SNAIL1 and Twist1 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The stem cell hierarchy in breast tissue and molecular subtypes of breast cancer are also summarized.
This document provides an overview of linear accelerators and brachytherapy used for radiation therapy treatments. It discusses:
1) The major components of linear accelerators which use microwave energy to accelerate electrons to treat tumors from outside the body with x-rays or electrons.
2) Brachytherapy which involves placing radioactive sources inside or near the tumor to deliver a high radiation dose directly to the tumor while sparing surrounding tissues. Both low-dose rate and high-dose rate temporary implants are used.
3) Skin brachytherapy uses high dose rate treatment with cup-shaped applicators to precisely treat small superficial skin cancers in a short, outpatient procedure with minimal side effects.

Our cancer treatment center provides advanced technology, precise treatment, and exceptional medical care with understanding, hope and empowerment. We implement new technology faster than others, are independent, offer localized treatment facilities with superior qualified personnel, and provide total support for patients throughout their treatment.
This document celebrates ING's 25 years of service. It highlights the company's long history and experience in providing financial services to customers. Over the past 25 years, ING has helped many celebrate important milestones and achievements in their lives.
InterCommunity Cancer Centers has 25 years of experience treating cancer and uses state-of-the-art technologies like the Calypso® 4D Localization System and Varian iX Linear Accelerator. They have a compassionate clinical and support team including radiation oncologists that provide precise tumor targeting and sophisticated treatment planning to effectively treat patients.
Dr. Maureen Holasek has been appointed as a primary attending physician at the Clermont office of InterCommunity Cancer Institute. She has over 21 years of experience in radiation oncology and will enhance ICCI's treatment of cancers like breast, head and neck, melanoma, prostate and gynecologic cancers using techniques such as IMRT, IGRT and stereotactic radiosurgery. The medical director welcomed Dr. Holasek and said her experience will help expand ICCI's leadership in patient care.
Clermont Family Medicine is a medical practice located at 1920 Don Wickham Dr. Suite 130 in Clermont, Florida. They can be reached by phone at 352.243.9709 or online at www.careyoudeserve.com. The practice aims to provide quality and compassionate healthcare to patients in Clermont and the surrounding areas.
InterCommunity Cancer Centers welcomes new radiation oncologist Dr. Maureen Holasek to their radiation therapy team in Clermont, Florida. Dr. Holasek has over 21 years of experience in radiation oncology and most recently served as medical director of a stereotactic radiosurgery program. She will work collaboratively with InterCommunity's dedicated team of radiation oncologists to improve cancer patients' quality of life using compassionate and innovative treatment approaches. Medical director Dr. Hal Jacobson says Dr. Holasek will help expand InterCommunity's leadership in patient care, science, and technology due to her extensive experience in the field.
GPS technology is being used to help treat prostate cancer through a treatment called Calypso, which tracks the movement of the prostate using electromagnetic transponders to maximize targeting accuracy and minimize side effects and treatment time, as experienced by a patient named John Bolin who was treated at InterCommunity Cancer Centers.
The Varian 2100SC linear accelerator uses high-energy X-rays and electrons to treat tumors while sparing healthy tissue. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) allow radiation oncologists to precisely target tumors and account for tumor movement, improving treatment effectiveness and reducing side effects. These advanced techniques are used at InterCommunity Cancer Institute to provide effective radiotherapy with fewer side effects.
HDR brachytherapy is a non-surgical treatment option for small superficial skin cancers that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. It requires fewer treatments over a shorter time period than other cancer treatments, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately. Valencia applicators are cup-shaped devices that can treat lesions up to 3 cm in diameter and 4 mm deep, providing uniform radiation dosing and shielding healthy tissue. HDR brachytherapy using Valencia applicators offers patients convenience for small skin cancers with its shorter, less disruptive treatment course.
