The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Snapshot: Functional Excel Functions for E-Resources
If we have learned nothing from the past thirty years of building the digital future, it is that no new system or tool has ever delivered on promises to fully eliminate our reliance on spreadsheets. In this snapshot session, I will discuss a few of the Excel functions that I use regularly to report, manage, or otherwise maintain e-resources data. Attendees will leave this session with a few practical tips, and the conviction that there is always a way to manipulate that spreadsheet more efficiently.

This document summarizes the advantages and cautions of Cassandra's masterless architecture. The advantages include its peer-to-peer design, automatic data distribution without a single point of failure, and built-in replication. However, cautions are noted since Cassandra is a NoSQL database, which means it has different data modeling than SQL and lacks features like transactions and complex queries. Real-world examples are provided to illustrate Cassandra's data distribution and limited query capabilities.

The Hearing Loss Association of America is the largest organization supporting those with hearing loss through resources, advocacy, and fundraising walks.
Tinnitus Corpus Christi TX
Digital hearing aids use advanced audio technology like DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) to detect and cancel out the ringing sounds of tinnitus for sufferers. DNR works by identifying sound waves occurring inside the ear and emitting canceling pulses. While not perfected, DNR and other digital features in hearing aids have potential to improve the quality of life for the estimated 50 million Americans who experience tinnitus.

LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. PRETERM BABIES OR SMALL FOR DATES BABIES

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
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.

- 5. Myth # 1: Hearing aids are not effective Reality: A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association comparing the effectiveness of three popular types of hearing aids concluded that: “Each [hearing aid] circuit markedly improved speech recognition, with greater improvement observed for soft and conversationally loud speech....All 3 circuits significantly reduced the frequency of problems encountered in verbal communication....Each circuit provided significant benefit in quiet and noisy listening situations.”
- 6. Myth # 2: Hearing aids are big and bulky Reality: Hearing aids come in various sizes, with some models that are nearly invisible when worn. Micro-behind-the-ear Completely-in-the- canal Half Shell
- 7. Myth # 3: Hearing aids are too expensive Reality: As with most consumer electronics, hearing aids range in price depending on performance and features. While you may not want—or need—the top of the line hearing aids, you can probably find a pair that matches your needs, preferences, and budget. Most patients also feel that the value of better hearing and a better life is usually well worth the cost.
- 8. Myth # 4: You can save time and money buying hearing aids online Reality: Would you buy a pair of prescription glasses online without first consulting your eye doctor, having an eye exam, and obtaining your prescription? Probably not, and buying hearing aids is very similar. Hearing aids need to be professionally programmed by a hearing specialist according to your unique hearing loss characteristics. Otherwise, it’s like wearing someone else’s prescription glasses.
- 9. Myth # 5: Hearing aids are uncomfortable and difficult to operate Reality: Digital hearing aids dynamically process sound with a small computer chip so that you don’t have to worry about manual adjustments; additionally, some digital hearing aids can even be controlled through your mobile phone. The bottom line: digital hearing aids are being manufactured with maximum ease-of-use in mind.
