Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.7K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Transcription Factors02:16

Transcription Factors

82.9K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Setting Time of Cement01:12

Setting Time of Cement

726
The setting time of cement refers to the process of cement paste transitioning from a plastic state to a solid state. This process is crucial in construction as it dictates the timeframe for concrete placement, compaction, and finishing. The onset of this solidification is termed the initial set, indicating when the paste becomes unworkable. The final set is when the paste has solidified completely, and further handling or manipulation can no longer affect its shape. The cement strength is...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.7K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Summary

Radiation therapy (RT) prescribing after mastectomy for breast cancer varies based on reconstruction choices and patient factors. Treatment fractionation is influenced by reconstruction type, patient age, and proximity to the treatment center.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Breast Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Radiation therapy (RT) post-mastectomy improves breast cancer survival but can affect cosmetic outcomes after reconstruction.
  • Inconsistent reporting of RT dose and fractionation schedules in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine patterns in RT prescribing practices within a provincial program for patients undergoing mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
  • To analyze factors influencing RT fractionation and delivery in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 4016 patients diagnosed with stages 0-III breast cancer between 2012-2013.
  • Focused on 1143 patients who underwent mastectomy, extracting demographic, tumor, and treatment data.
  • Examined associations between RT fractionation, reconstruction type, patient age, and geographic factors.

Main Results:

  • 37% of mastectomy patients (1143/4016) underwent breast reconstruction.
  • Extended RT fractionation (>16 fractions) was significantly associated with both autologous and implant-based reconstruction.
  • Hypofractionated RT was linked to older patient age and greater distance from the treatment center.

Conclusions:

  • RT prescribing patterns for mastectomy patients are influenced by reconstruction intent, patient age, nodal status, and distance to treatment facilities.
  • These factors are critical considerations for optimizing treatment decisions and outcomes in breast cancer care.
