Abstract:
Biannual mammogram has been recommended for all women aged 50-74 years by USPSTF. Our aim was to improve the screening rates of biannual mammogram among women aged 50-74 years in a primary care clinic. Medical records were reviewed. Patients who were not up-to-date with their breast cancer screening, were contacted by telephone or a letter was sent. Our screening rate was found to be 64.7%. After 6 months, 38.5% had undergone mammograms after our intervention. This improved the compliance rate from 64.7% to 76.6%. Hence discussion of breast cancer screening status between a patient and provider can significantly increase compliance.

01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
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...

03:08Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
