Book Synopsis Necessity is the Mother of all Invention Management of Oral Cancer by : Dr. Pradeep Kumar Jha
Download or read book Necessity is the Mother of all Invention Management of Oral Cancer written by Dr. Pradeep Kumar Jha and published by EduBubs Publishing House. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Necessity is the mother of all invention Management of Oral Cancer” have revolutionized the field of medical profession for long time and now all set to blaze a new trail in maxillofacial malignancy. Cancer being the second most frequent cause of mortality after cardiovascular disease, many patients do survive cancer treatment. With newer treatment regimens and the use of novel biological agents, more and more patients survive for longer periods of time, and many leads airily normal active lives. These patients are seen by general dentists and dental specialists in hospital and private dental clinic setting. The dental professional may be involved in preparing the patient for cancer therapy by screening for treating odontogenic infections. He / She may be involved in the management of oral complications during and after cancer therapy, since with improved techniques for delivering chemotherapy, many patients who have cancer are being treated in their community rather than travelling to cancer centres. More often, such patients are seen by general dentist for routine dental care after cancer therapy. Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Newer treatment of cancer were introduce and recognize as a chief treatment. These treatment modality have been involved in medical and dental field more than ninety years. Chemotherapy typically involves the use of several antineoplastic (anticancer) drugs to treat cancer, though some people are treated with single medications. While the drugs in this family are toxic to cancer cells, many are also toxic to healthy cells, which give rise to numerous side effects. A few drugs used in chemotherapy enhance immune function, while some alter hormonal activity. Chemotherapy aims to eliminate the clonogenic cells completely. The inevitable damage to normal cells from cytotoxic therapy is tolerated by prompt and efficient repair of normal cells, as opposed to that of tumour cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy target actively dividing cells and the two most susceptible stages are the M-phase and S-phase of the cell cycle. Ionizing radiation is used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. For therapy high energy radiation in megavoltage range is preferred where as for diagnosis kilovolt age energy is used. The radiotherapy is based on the principle that rapidly proliferating cells are more sensitive to ionizing radiation compared to normal cells. This differential cell kill is used for the treatment of tumors. A dose of radiation that is sufficient to kill cancer cells will produce considerable if not permanent damage to the normal tissues. The malignant cells which have a high rate of mitosis are highly susceptible to the action of radiation. However, the normal cells recover but not the malignant tissues. Thus the aim of radiotherapy is to deliver a homogenous dose of radiation to an accurately localized tissue target volume in order to produce tumor control with minimal effect on the surrounding normal structures. Radiotherapy is a specialty which took birth at the end of the 19th century with the discovery of x rays by Sir Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Friday, the 8th November 1895. This book updates the oral health care professional on how to prepare a patient for cancer therapy and identify and manage short term and long term complications of cancer therapy. Book range from the use of new therapeutic agents, such as keratinocyte growth factor that reduces the incidence of mucositis during chemotherapy and radiotherapy to learning how to recognize infections in patients who are immunocomromised, to understanding the socio – economic costs of oral complications. We hope that that these practical and evidence – based guidelines will be readily accessible and useful to cancer specialist in the management of patient who develop oral complications of cancer therapy.

Book Synopsis The Invention of Wings by : Sue Monk Kidd
Download or read book The Invention of Wings written by Sue Monk Kidd and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women. Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements. Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better. This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved. Please note there is another digital edition available without Oprah’s notes. Go to Oprah.com/bookclub for more OBC 2.0 content

Download or read book Mad Like Tesla written by Tyler Hamilton and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “illuminating and important” look at the scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs who are working to save us from catastrophic climate change (New York Journal of Books). Nikola Tesla was considered a mad scientist by the society of his time for predicting global warming more than a hundred years ago. Today, we need visionaries like him to find sources of alternative energy and solutions to this looming threat. Mad Like Tesla takes an in-depth look at climate issues, introducing thinkers and inventors such as Louis Michaud, a retired refinery engineer who claims we can harness the energy of man-made tornadoes, and a professor and a businessman who are running a company that genetically modifies algae so it can secrete ethanol naturally. These individuals and their unorthodox methods are profiled through first-person interviews, exploring the social, economic, financial, and personal obstacles that they continue to face. Also covered is the existing state of green energy technologies—such as solar, wind, biofuels, smart grid, and energy storage—offering a ray of hope against a backdrop of dread. “Hamilton makes complex technologies comprehensible.” —Library Journal

Book Synopsis Evolution by Gene Duplication by : Susumu Ohno
Download or read book Evolution by Gene Duplication written by Susumu Ohno and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that "necessity is the mother of invention". To be sure, wheels and pulleys were invented out of necessity by the tenacious minds of upright citi zens. Looking at the history of mankind, however, one has to add that "Ieisure is the mother of cultural improvement". Man's creative genius flourished only when his mind, freed from the worry of daily toils, was permitted to entertain apparently useless thoughts. In the same manner, one might say with regard to evolution that "natural selection mere(y tnodifted, while redundanry created". Natural selection has been extremely effective in policing alleHe mutations which arise in already existing gene loci. Because of natural selection, organisms have been able to adapt to changing environments, and by adaptive radiation many new species were created from a common ancestral form. Y et, being an effective policeman, natural selection is extremely conservative by nature. Had evolution been entirely dependent upon natural selection, from a bacterium only numerous forms of bacteria would have emerged. The creation of metazoans, vertebrates and finally mammals from unicellular organisms would have been quite impos sible, for such big leaps in evolution required the creation of new gene loci with previously nonexistent functions. Only the cistron which became redun dant was able to escape from the relentless pressure of natural selection, and by escaping, it accumulated formerly forbidden mutations to emerge as a new gene locus.

Book Synopsis Thinking Through Climate Change by : Adam Briggle
Download or read book Thinking Through Climate Change written by Adam Briggle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this creative exploration of climate change and the big questions confronting our high-energy civilization, Adam Briggle connects the history of philosophy with current events to shed light on the Anthropocene (the age of humanity). Briggle offers a framework to help us understand the many perspectives and policies on climate change. He does so through the idea that energy is a paradox: changing sameness. From this perennial philosophical mystery, he argues that a high-energy civilization is bound to create more and more paradoxes. These paradoxes run like fissures through our orthodox picture of energy as the capacity to do work and control fate. Climate change is the accumulation of these fissures and the question is whether we can sustain technoscientific control and economic growth. It may be that our world is about change radically, imploring us to start thinking heterodox thoughts.
Book Synopsis The Daughter of Invention by : Kathryn Ann Young
Download or read book The Daughter of Invention written by Kathryn Ann Young and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection assembles 49 free-verse poems in three sections: "Blueprints," "Inventions," and "Patents Pending". If necessity is the mother of invention--who is the daughter? Metaphors collide and combust, expand and contract, imploding or exploding, converting potential to kinetic energy. Alchemy crucibles coal to diamond, a carbon copy. Metaphor morphs from a grain of sand under the tongue, a pearl moiled of imperfection as surrounding sounds surrender them in a daydream. Imagination no matter what heat index or wind chill factor sails off the edge of a flat earth in a brainstorm--into the very DNA alphabet soup. By sharing her imaginings and epiphanies, the author connects her readers with the complexities and mystics of humanity, our fierceness and our tenderness, with exceptional honesty and brilliance.

Book Synopsis The Spell of Zalanon by : Johnny Flora
Download or read book The Spell of Zalanon written by Johnny Flora and published by . This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As September 22, 2021 approached, the unchecked human overpopulation of Earth threatened our planet's existence, but a grim solution was in the wings. Six thousand years earlier the Egyptian sorcerer Zalanon foresaw this approaching catastrophe for humanity. Seeing no other alternative to save the planet, he cast a gruesome spell to rebalance our population with a strictly feline application of the natural law of survival of the fittest. The cats were now upon us. Packs of hungry feline predators roamed the planet viciously culling our now overgrown herd of humanity. Zalanon's spell had turned every common household cat into a crazed and monstrous predator bent on thinning out the human population before we completely depleted all the resources of our Mother Earth. The great Egyptian Cat Gods -- miniaturized by Zalanon for six millennia -- were also now unleashed by the ancient sorcerer's spell in all their menacing, primordial grandeur to help their feline contemporaries carry out this massive annihilation of mankind. Only Arim -- the first human ever to have revealed to him the secrets of the Scrolls of Zalanon -- had the potential to find some shelter from the ensuing holocaust and to bring safety to the earth's few survivors within the protective Ring of Light -- just as Zalanon had predicted.

Book Synopsis The Progress Principle by : Teresa Amabile
Download or read book The Progress Principle written by Teresa Amabile and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.
