This document discusses nutrition and cancer. It covers how cancer affects nutritional status, nutritional problems caused by cancer treatments, and nutritional goals and therapies for cancer patients. Cancer causes increased metabolic needs but can also cause side effects from treatments like chemotherapy that make eating difficult. Nutritional interventions aim to meet calorie and protein needs and alleviate issues like nausea, diarrhea or dry mouth.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Diet and Cancer
1.
2. Objectives
- Discuss how nutrition can be related to
the development or the prevention of
cancer.
- State the effects of cancer on the
nutritional status of the host.
- Describe nutritional problems resulting
from the medical treatment of cancer.
- Describe nutritional therapy for cancer
clients.
3. Cancer
- Cancer is the second leading cause of
death in the United States.
- Characterized by abnormal cell growth;
cell growth becomes unstructured and
excessive; can occur in any organ.
- Cancerous tumors are malignant, affecting
the structure, and consequently the
function, of organs.
4. Causes of Cancer
- The precise etiology of cancer is
unknown.
- Heredity, viruses, environmental
carcinogens, and possibly emotional
stress may contribute to its development.
- Cancer is not inherited, but some families
appear to have a genetic predisposition
for it.
5. - Environmental carcinogens include
radiation (X-rays, sun, nuclear wastes),
certain chemicals (ingested in food and
water or touched by skin) and certain
substances that are breathed in (tobacco
smoke).
- Carcinogens cause cancer after repeated
exposure.
6. Relationships of Food and Cancer
Certain substances in foods are thought to
be carcinogenic:
- Nitrates in cured and smoked foods
associated with stomach and
esophagus cancer
- High-fat diets associated with uterine,
breast, prostate, and colon cancers
7. - Excessive caloric intake associated
with gallbladder and endometrial
cancer
- Alcohol and cigarettes associated with
lung, mouth, pharynx, and esophagus
cancer
8.
9. Certain diets seem to have health
benefits
- Diets high in fiber help protect against
colorectal cancer.
- Diets rich in vitamin C may protect
against stomach and esophagus cancer
- Diets high in vitamin A may protect
against lung, bladder, and larynx
cancer
10.
11. Health benefits
- Phytochemicals occur naturally in
plant foods and are thought to be
anticarcinogenic.
- Legumes contain vitamins, minerals,
protein, and fiber and may protect
against cancer.
- High intake of soy foods are associated
with a decreased risk of breast and
colon cancer.
12. Food and Cancer
- 9 or more servings of fruits and
vegetables per day is recommended
- 2 ½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit
on a 2000 calorie diet
- Intact immune system is thought to
protect against cancer
- Moderation is key
13. The Effects of Cancer
- May cause unexplained weight loss,
weakness, early satiety, and anorexia
- May lead to loss of muscle tissue,
hypoalbuminemia, and anemia
14. - Effect of cancer on the client depends on
the location of the tumor
- Sense of taste and smell may be affected:
some foods may not have much taste;
everything may taste the same
15. Treatment of Cancer
- Surgical removal, radiation, chemo-
therapy, or a combination of these
methods used to treat cancer
- Side effects of these treatments can affect
nutrition.
- Nausea, vomiting, sore mouth are
common
16. Radiation and chemotherapy may cause:
- Xerostomia (dry mouth)
- Dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing)
- Anorexia
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea with possible fluid and
electrolyte imbalances
- Radiation and chemotherapy depress
appetite
17. Nutritional Goals
- Meet increased metabolic demands of the
disease and prevent catabolism
- Alleviate symptoms resulting from the
disease and its treatment through
adaptations of food and the feeding
process
18. Nutritional Care
- Calorie needs of the client with cancer are
greater than before the illness.
- Basal metabolic rate is increased, tissue
must be rebuilt, nutrients are lost to
cancer
19. - Clients who can eat normally tolerate the
side effects of therapy better.
- Malnutrition can lead to cachexia and
ultimately death
20. - Soft diet if chewing is a problem
- Low-residue diet for diarrhea
- High-protein, high-calorie diets and
plenty of fluids for clients undergoing
radiation or chemotherapy
- 45 to 50 calories per kg of body weight
per day
21. - Carbohydrates and fat needed to provide
energy and spare protein for tissue
building and the immune system
- 1.0 to 1.2 g of protein per kg of body
weight a day
- Malnourished clients may need from 1.3
to 2.0 g of protein per kg of body weight a
day.
- Vitamins and minerals are essential.
22. - Encourage foods that will increase
appetite such as:
- Foods brought from home
- Cold foods may be more appealing.
- Milk, cheese, eggs, and fish may be
more appealing than meat (can taste
bitter)
23. - Salad dressings, gravies, sauces, and
syrups appropriately served on foods can
be helpful for dry mouth.
- Several small meals may be better
tolerated than three large meals.
- Snacks as tolerated
- Use drugs to control nausea and pain.
- Nutritional supplements may be needed.
24. Dietary Modifications for Nutrition-
Related Side Effects
Anorexia: small frequent meals, high-
calorie, high-protein, nutrient-dense
foods, supplements, food preferences
Altered taste and odor: herbs and
seasonings; cold foods, avoid foods with
offensive odors
25. Somatitis: liquid or pureed foods, avoid
tart or acidic, dry or coarse foods, serve
foods with sauces or gravies
Nausea and vomiting: frequent small
meals, avoid greasy, fried, high-fat foods
Diarrhea: frequent small meals, encourage
liquids, limit lactose and high fiber foods
26. A client with cancer may feel that
comments to encourage eating are
depressing reminders of the cancer and
the situation.
How can the health care professional be
helpful to the client with cancer?
27. - At appropriate time, explain why it is
important that the client eat.
- Encourage the client to eat foods that he
or she enjoys.
- Recommend that the client avoid eating at
the time of day nausea is likely to occur.
28. Conclusion
- Cancer is a disease characterized by
abnormal cell growth.
- Energy needs increase because of the
hypermetabolic state and the tumor’s need
for energy nutrients.
- Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can
cause side effects that affect nutrition.
29. - Improving the nutritional state is difficult
because of the illness and anorexia.
- Parenteral or enteral nutrition may be
necessary.
- The health care professional can help the
client improve nutrition.
