Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
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
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
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.

3. THE ICN CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSES
An international code of ethics for nurses was first adopted by the
International Council of Nurses (ICN) in 1953. It has been revised
and reaffirmed at various times since, most recently with this
review and revision completed in 2005.
PREAMBLE
Nurses have four fundamental responsibilities : to promote health, to
prevent illness, to restore health and to alleviate suffering. The need
for nursing is universal.
Inherent in nursing is respect for human rights, including cultural
rights, the right to life and choice, to dignity and to be treated with
respect. Nursing care is respectful of and unrestricted by consider-
ations of age, colour, creed, culture, disability or illness, gender,
sexual orientation, nationality, politics, race or social status.
Nurses render health services to the individual, the family and the
community and co-ordinate their services with those of related
groups.

4. THE ICN CODE
The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses has four principal elements that
outline the standards of ethical conduct.
ELEMENTS OF THE CODE
1. NURSES AND PEOPLE
The nurse’s primary professional responsibility is to people requiring
nursing care.
In providing care, the nurse promotes an environment in which the
human rights, values, customs and spiritual beliefs of the individual,
family and community are respected.
The nurse ensures that the individual receives sufficient information
on which to base consent for care and related treatment.
The nurse holds in confidence personal information and uses judge-
ment in sharing this information.
The nurse shares with society the responsibility for initiating and sup-
porting action to meet the health and social needs of the public, in
particular those of vulnerable populations.
The nurse also shares responsibility to sustain and protect the nat-
ural environment from depletion, pollution, degradation and
destruction.
2. NURSES AND PRACTICE
The nurse carries personal responsibility and accountability for
nursing practice, and for maintaining competence by continual
learning.
2
5. The nurse maintains a standard of personal health such that the
ability to provide care is not compromised.
The nurse uses judgement regarding individual competence when
accepting and delegating responsibility.
The nurse at all times maintains standards of personal conduct
which reflect well on the profession and enhance public confidence.
The nurse, in providing care, ensures that use of technology and
scientific advances are compatible with the safety, dignity and
rights of people.
3. NURSES AND THE PROFESSION
The nurse assumes the major role in determining and implement-
ing acceptable standards of clinical nursing practice, manage-
ment, research and education.
The nurse is active in developing a core of research-based pro-
fessional knowledge.
The nurse, acting through the professional organisation, partici-
pates in creating and maintaining safe, equitable social and eco-
nomic working conditions in nursing.
4. NURSES AND CO-WORKERS
The nurse sustains a co-operative relationship with co-workers in
nursing and other fields.
The nurse takes appropriate action to safeguard individuals, fam-
ilies and communities when their health is endangered by a co-
worker or any other person.

6. SUGGESTIONS FOR USE OF THE ICN CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSES
The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses is a guide for action based on
social values and needs. It will have meaning only as a living doc-
ument if applied to the realities of nursing and health care in a
changing society.
To achieve its purpose the Code must be understood, internalised
and used by nurses in all aspects of their work. It must be avail-
able to students and nurses throughout their study and work lives.
APPLYING THE ELEMENTS OF THE ICN CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSES
The four elements of the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses : nurses and
people, nurses and practice, nurses and the profession, and nurses
and co-workers, give a framework for the standards of conduct. The
following chart will assist nurses to translate the standards into
action. Nurses and nursing students can therefore :
• Study the standards under each element of the Code.
• Reflect on what each standard means to you. Think about how you
can apply ethics in your nursing domain : practice, education,
research or management.
• Discuss the Code with co-workers and others.
• Use a specific example from experience to identify ethical dilem-
mas and standards of conduct as outlined in the Code. Identify
how you would resolve the dilemmas.
• Work in groups to clarify ethical decision making and reach a
consensus on standards of ethical conduct.
• Collaborate with your national nurses’ association, co-workers,
and others in the continuous application of ethical standards in
nursing practice, education, management and research.

11. DISSEMINATION OF THE ICN CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSES
To be effective the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses must be familiar
to nurses. We encourage you to help with its dissemination to
schools of nursing, practising nurses, the nursing press and other
mass media. The Code should also be disseminated to other
health professions, the general public, consumer and policy-mak-
ing groups, human rights organisations and employers of nurses.
