Continuing Care01:25

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,...

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

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:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Therapy

Background:

  • Brachytherapy provides a high therapeutic index for localized cancer treatment.
  • Its utilization has declined in recent years for cervical and prostate cancers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the reasons behind the declining use of brachytherapy.
  • To highlight the importance of brachytherapy for improving patient survival.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of brachytherapy utilization trends.
  • Examination of factors contributing to decreased brachytherapy use.

Main Results:

  • Brachytherapy use is declining globally for locally advanced cervical cancer and low-risk prostate cancer.
  • Factors include a shortage of trained radiation oncologists and the rise of advanced external beam radiotherapy.

Conclusions:

  • Reduced brachytherapy use is linked to poorer survival rates in cervical cancer and potentially in prostate cancer.
  • Increased accessibility through more trained professionals and equipped centers is necessary.
