Understanding The Challenges And Advances In Lung Cancer Treatment
Treatment of Lung cancer has dramatically improved in the last decade. There are several pioneering precision drugs that we use for management of lung cancer however it remains the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. These are few of several reasons for this.1. Late Detection or cancer is the single most case of poor outcome and mortality in patientsSymptoms often appear late: Lung is an inflatable organ, and the cancer symptoms only appear when the cancerous lump is reasonably large. By the time symptoms like coughing, weight loss, or chest pain occur, the cancer may have already spread, making it harder to treat.Lack of early screening: In India we do not have a dedicated screening program for lung cancer. There have been advancements in screening (such as low-dose CT scans for high-risk populations), however this facility is underutilised.2. Challenges in TreatmentResistance to treatment: Precision oncology is leading the way in effective management of Lung cancer. However, cancer has the ability to develop resistance to many types of treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation and even precision therapy. These resistances are due to several genetic and biological parameter which are difficult to control at presentLimited availability of effective treatments for advanced stages: We do have excellent treatment options in form of targeted therapies and immunotherapy for certain types of lung cancer, However these treatments may not be available due to cost constraints or may be ineffective for patients, especially those in the later stages of the disease. 3. Increasing Life ExpectancyAging population: Unfortunately a largen number of patients are diagnosed with lung cancer in advanced age. They might have other comorbidities due to which they may not be able to tolerate the intensive types of treatment and mortality increases.4. Lack of knowledge and awarenessPublic awareness: There is general lack of awareness in public about the preventive measures that can be easily adopted. The field of cancer medicine has evolved rapidly and unfortunately there is a knowledge gap that leads to delay in decision making and directing the patient to the right cancer centre.Even though the efforts to raise awareness about smoking cessation continues, many people still don't fully understand the risks of lung cancer. Therefore the incidence continues to rise.There are several reasons that lead to poor survival in patient s of lung cancer. However majority of patients can do really well now as compared to before provided they present to the right oncology team and have access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic option.Dr. Sachin Trivedi, Director- Medical Oncology, HCG Cancer Centre, ColabaDouble Lung Transplants Now Viable Option With New Technique

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A...

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation...

Recently, however, cybercrooks have started disseminating real-time, accurate information about global infection rates tied to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to infect computers with malicious software. A recent snapshot of the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus data map, available at coronavirus.jhu.edu. In one scheme, an interactive dashboard of Coronavirus infections and deaths produced by Johns Hopkins University is being used in malicious Web sites (and possibly spam emails) to spread password-stealing malware.
