Phenotypic Oncology Pet
This casebook details key information and findings in PET oncology imaging. PET CT has been increasingly utilized in clinical practice for diagnostic evaluation, initial staging and restaging of malignancies, and plays an important role in optimal patient care. Although F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is still the dominant radioactive tracer in oncology PET imaging services, a handful of new tracers have recently gained the US FDA approval, such as Ga-68 or Cu-64 DOTATATE for carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors, and F-18 Fluciclovine (AXUMIN) and PSMA for recurrent or metastatic prostate cancers. Clinical interpretation of PET CT oncology scans is often challenging, due to the specific nature of these positron emission radioactive tracers, variable background tracer activities in different organs/tissues with normal variants, complex tumor biology, and wide-ranged treatment responses, especially with emerging and new molecular and immune therapy agents. This book serves as a hands-on casebook on how to interpret oncologic PET CT studies in clinical services with a special emphasis on phenotypic nature of oncologic imaging.Clinical cases are presented in a way that is familiar to physicians from their training in nuclear medicine services. Each case starts with key clinical information or background, followed by well-displayed PET CT images, along with pertinent questions highlighting the key findings and explanation, as well as the importance in diagnosis and clinical implications on separate pages. Clinical and imaging key findings and final impressions are highlighted throughout along with qualitative and quantitative demonstrations of phenotypic nature of modern PET imaging.Written by two nuclear medicine PET specialists with decades of first-hand clinical experience, this is an ideal guide for nuclear medicine attending physicians, diagnostic radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, and relevant trainees.

Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology
Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology
Marma is based on the model of a lighted being or the consciousness that fills all human beings and flows and radiates through our thoughts and emotions, nerves and tissues.Due to 5 factors, viz. 1.lifestyle, 2.upbringing, 3.perceived notions, 4.relationships, and 5. personal set of values, these light beams get scattered away from their normal flow. Some beams lose their amplitude, others lose their direction. Yet others lose their intensity or focus. This is what results in illness, pain, grief, guilt, fear and weakness.Marma Chikitsa or Therapy is a revolutionary technique to normalize and balance the light body. Though mentioned in the ancient texts, in the modern context it is only recently being rediscovered and reapplied.When it came to healing and restoring fitness, the ancients rarely looked at anatomy as a mass of muscle, tissue, bone or organ. Rather, they perceived it as a body of glowing consciousness, and used the time honored techniques of Meditation, Massage, Showering, Walking, soft Touch, Pranayama and Yoga.तत्र सक्थिमर्माणि क्षिप्रतलहृदयकूर्चकूर्चशिरोगुल्फेन्द्रबस्तिजान्वाण्यूर्वीलोहिताक्षाणि विटपं चेति । Thigh and lower anatomy marma points list.तत्र सक्थि-मर्माणि क्षिप्र1-तलहृदय2-कूर्च3-कूर्चशिरः4-गुल्फ5-इन्द्रबस्ति6-जानु7-आणि8-ऊर्वी9-लोहिताक्षाणि10 विटपं11 चेति ।- 11 viṭapa (topmost point in this list)- 10 lohitākṣa- 9 ūrvī (also spelt urvī)- 8 āṇi- 7 jānu- 6 indrabasti- 5 gulpha- 4 kūrcaśira- 3 kūrca- 2 talahṛdaya- 1 kṣipra (bottommost point in this list)These points are listed in sequence of vertical location top to bottom of anatomy.एतेनेतरत्सक्थि व्याख्यातम् These are mirrored points in each leg, so a count of 22 points.Note: Marma points Viṭapa, Jānu and Gulpha in leg correspond to Kakṣadhara, Kūrpara and Maṇibandha in arm resp.-------------------This book presents the Marma section from the Sushruta Samhita, and lists simple ways to get back to peak health and total fitness.--------------------Contains Full Color Plates.Contains Charts for all 107 Marma Points.

Medical Coding and Billing Fundamentals
Someone must handle the insurance and patient billing, also known as medical coding, at every medical facility. Doctors or office managers may perform these chores in addition to their primary responsibilities, or they may be delegated to an employee or employees.Since clinical staff needs to focus on patient care, it is common practice to have trained professionals handle the crucial administrative work of coding and billing.Coding and billing services for healthcare transform patient encounters into the vocabulary of claims and compensation.Providers can't get paid for their services without going through the two distinct but interrelated steps of billing and coding.Billing patients and submitting insurance claims requires the use of medical codes. On the other hand, medical coding refers to the process of extracting billable information from a patient's medical record and clinical documentation. The creation of claims is the hub of the healthcare revenue cycle, where medical billing and coding meet.The procedure begins with the patient signing up and concludes when the provider is paid for all services rendered. The time it takes to complete the medical billing and coding cycle varies from a few days to several months, depending on the nature of the services provided, the effectiveness of the organization's claim denial management, and the frequency with which patients are required to pay their bills.Having a well-trained medical billing and coding team can help healthcare companies run more efficiently, allowing doctors and other employees to receive full reimbursement for their high-quality treatment.

Intensive Care - A Thin Line Between Survival and Dehumanization

While there is no doubt that intensive care save lives, mention of ICU can create a feeling of unease and intimidation among patient and their families. Patients in ICU are socially isolated, sedated, unable to communicate and sometimes restrained.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that play a huge role in regulating many of our essential bodily functions. They act as a form of communication between cells throughout the body, and coordinate things like digestion, growth, appetite, immune function, mood, and libido. When hormones are out of balance, even slightly, it can hurt a person's health and well-being.One way to restore hormonal balance is through Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are identical in chemical structure to the hormones produced by the human body. This means that they will be recognized and processed by the body in the same way as naturally occurring hormones. Bioidentical hormones are typically used to treat persons whose hormone levels are low or out of balance.The use of bioidentical hormones has surged in recent years, as more and more people become interested in the potential benefits of BHRT. Some of the key benefits of BHRT include improved mood, increased energy, reduced anxiety and depression, and better sleep. Additionally, BHRT may help to protect against conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis.Despite the many potential benefits of BHRT, there are also some risks associated with its use. Some of the potential risks of BHRT include blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer. It is important to discuss the pros and cons of BHRT with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.If you are considering using bioidentical hormones, it is important to be aware of both the benefits and risks involved in doing so. There are many different types of BHRT available, so it is important to work with a healthcare professional who specializes in this type of treatment to find the best option for you.In this beginner's guide, we'll discuss the following in full detail: What is a hormonal imbalance?What are bioidentical hormones?Comparison between FDA-approved and Compounded Bioidentical HormonesUse cases of bioidentical hormone replacement therapyBioidentical hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal and menopausalRisks and side effects of BHRTWho should not undergo Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?A Potential 3-Step Plan to Get Started with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement TherapyBHRT dosage
