C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

49.1K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
C4 Pathway
The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

Continuing Care

1.9K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric oncology
  • Cancer care pathway management
  • Healthcare coordination

Background:

  • Cross-functional measures in cancer patient care pathways are less implemented in elderly populations.
  • Chronological age does not preclude curative treatment for cancer patients.
  • Comprehensive assessment of elderly cancer patients' physical, psychological, social resources, and comorbidities is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the implementation of cross-functional measures in the care pathway of elderly cancer patients.
  • To highlight the importance of personalized care programs for older adults with cancer.
  • To emphasize the role of geriatric oncology coordination in optimizing cancer treatment for the elderly.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of cross-functional measure implementation across cancer patient care pathways.
  • Evaluation of physical, psychological, and social resources in elderly cancer patients.
  • Identification of support care needs influencing quality of life and treatment efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Elderly cancer patients globally receive fewer cross-functional measures compared to younger patients.
  • Age is not a barrier to curative cancer treatment.
  • Support care needs significantly impact quality of life and treatment outcomes in the elderly.

Conclusions:

  • Geriatric oncology coordination is essential for delivering comprehensive, personalized care to elderly cancer patients.
  • Tailored care programs, considering individual resources and comorbidities, are vital for effective cancer treatment in older adults.
  • Addressing support care needs improves both quality of life and treatment efficacy in geriatric oncology.
