1) The San Rafael waterfall in Sucumbíos is Ecuador's highest at 160m and located in the Sumaco Napo Galeras Biological Reserve. 2) The Cuyabeno Wildlife Production Reserve in Sucumbíos is one of the world's most mega-diverse ecosystems with an impressive number of plant and animal species per hectare. 3) The Lagarto lacustrine system in Sucumbíos has native Amazonian flora and fauna but lacks many nutrients in its waters. Canoe navigation allows opportunities to see wildlife like agoutis and monkeys.

Crater Lake and Lotus

Gwen Abitz

An enormous volcanic eruption occurred nearly 8,000 years ago in southern Oregon, hurling tons of ash and magma high into the air. This created a unique mineral-rich ecosystem and the deepest lake in North America, Crater Lake. More than 30 years ago, scientists discovered a distinct strain of edible blue-green algae growing abundantly in Upper Klamath Lake, realizing it was an unprecedented nutritional source. This discovery marked the beginning of New Earth and its signature product, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.

Marshall Isalands disaster relief

Michael Anderson

Spectra Aquifer watermakers were used to provide emergency relief to remote islands in the Marshall Islands experiencing a severe drought. Over 35 portable watermaking units produced fresh drinking water for over 6,400 people on islands with no other source of potable water. The units combined with solar power systems to produce 15 gallons of water per hour from seawater with low energy use and carbon emissions, providing a cost-effective solution for the isolated communities. The clean water prevented drought-related illnesses and deaths, alleviating the crisis and saving aid agencies transportation costs for alternative water supplies.

Global Risk Forum GRFDavos

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy

Dr. 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.

Holistified Wellness

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
