Colorectal Cancers
The scientific community has made significant progress in our molecular understanding of sporadic and hereditary colorectal carcinogenesis and progression. Thie pertains to, e.g., the discovery of (mutated) oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, microsatellite instabilities, modifications in DNA repair, cellular aging, signaling cascades, genomic, epigenetic, transcriptional, translational, and protein modifications, as well as microbiotic factors and further parameters. Progression and metastasis have been more intensively studied, especially during recent years, leading to an intensified knowledge on molecular protagonists and microenvironmental interactions contributing to invasion, dissemination, and metastasis; still, more concerted efforts need to be made to better understand issues such as metastasis to different sites or the metastatic heterogeneity of single cells. Nevertheless, based on actual discoveries, personalized medicine, together with highly interdisciplinary therapeutic strategies combining advanced levels of surgical techniques, oncology, and radiation in neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or palliative settings, has started to improve the clinical prognosis of individual patients with colorectal cancer. The present Special Issue features articles of excellent international experts with the latest data in the fields mentioned. With this Special Issue, we aim to deepen discussions amongst colleagues in all kinds of disciplines working on this disease and to intensify interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at an ultimate understanding of strategies to defeat and prevent, colorectal cancer, and its progression.

Locus of Control and Aspiration Level Among the Banjara Community Students of Junior Colleges
Origin of Gor Banjara community - There is a Gor river to the East of Kabul in Afghanistan, there is a range of Gor as well there is a region of Gor, Gor means old province. All these things are intimately related to Gor society Gor Banjara is known by different names in our country. Gypsy in Europe, Banjara in Asia continent, Gypsy in Australia, Gypsy in Africa and Gypsy in America. We can tell certainly that this is a worldwide scattered society.it is scattered from certain part. But from Greek and Sindhu civilization but Gor Banjara understand themselves that they are from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal. Banjara are semi nomadic tribe of carriers and drivers of pack-bullocks. Migrated from Rajasthan through Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, there are major concentration lies in the southwestern part of the State, particularly in the areas of Lanjigarh, Dharmgarh, Patna and Nuapara Tahasils of undivided Kalahandi district. The ethnographers like K.S.Singh (1998) has reported "Traditionally a nomadic community, the Banjara were carriers and drivers of pack bullocks. The community name is derived from the word bajjika, which means trade or business. One view is that the name is derived from the Sanskrit word vanijya or banijyakara, meaning a trader or merchant, while the other view is that the name Banjara is a derivative of the word banji, meaning a peddler's pack. Now, Banjara universally means the trading community, though the root word differs across states. The Banjara trace their descent from Lakha Banjara, who as recounted, used to move from one forest (ban) to another with his merchandise." Crooke (1896) describes them as a tribe whose primary occupation is or rather used to be, that of grain carriers and suppliers for armies in the battlefield. Risley (1891) states that the term 'Banjara' is applied to a grain and cattle merchant who moves to different markets. Ibbetson (1891) opines that they and the 'Labana caste are generally said to be identical being called Banjara in the eastern districts and Labana in the whole of Punjab proper,

Risk Prediction and New Prophylaxis Strategies for Thromboembolism in Cancer
Thromboembolism is a compelling challenge in cancer care because of its life-threatening nature as well as its impact on specific treatments. Current guidelines do not generally recommend antithrombotic prophylaxis, except in selected categories of patients at high risk of thrombosis. Accordingly, several clinical decision models have been developed to guide the oncologist in thromboembolic risk assessment and targeted prophylaxis. Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) are currently considered as the standard approach in clinical practice guidelines, but recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) indicate that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are effective for the treatment/prophylaxis of cancer-associated thromboembolism. However, many unanswered questions remain on the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants in selected cancer subgroups, and in primary and secondary prevention settings, where anticoagulation needs to be balanced on the risk of bleeding complications. Presently, patient selection remains the main challenge. Improvement in existing VTE risk models or the construction of alternative risk assessment tools are needed in order to ameliorate the risk stratification of cancer patients. This reprint will cover the current clinical evidence supporting the standard of care and emerging treatment/prophylactic options for cancer-associated thromboembolism during both active treatment and simultaneous/palliative care. Tailored approaches based on the use of individualized factors to stratify the thrombotic/bleeding risk in each individual patient are discussed.

The Book of Nurse Saints
"In the twilight of our life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather, on how much we have loved" said St. John of God. Along with St. John of God and St. Camillus de Lellis, the two nurses declared patrons of nurses and nurses association by His Holiness Pope Pius XI, this text provides description of the lives of several nurses who have formally been declared saints or on the path to canonization: twenty-eight saints, fifty blesseds, fourteen venerables, three servants of God and seven martyrs not otherwise categorized. Organized by date of birth, except for groups of nurses who were martyred, who are organized by date of martyrdom; the appendices lists memorial dates, country of birth, mission and death; patron saints of nurse; and saint for health conditions and healthcare patron saints. An excerpt from the Code of Canon law describes the Church law regarding veneration of saints and care of relics. Lastly included are excerpts from His Holiness Pope Pius XI's papal address to the International Catholic Committee of Nurses and Medico-Social Assistants (CICIAMS) II and III World Congresses and Pope Pius XII address to Midwives in 1952 and Nursing Staff of Roman Institutions in 1952. Though nursing care was provided by many of the unnamed martyrs who died during the great pestilence in Alexandria Egypt between 249 A.D. and 262 A.D. the first named nurse saint was St. Fabiola who established the first hospital in Rome. Queen St. Radegund, who was also the patron saint of the first council of Catholic nurses established in the United States of America in 1909 in Boston; King St. Elzear and Queen Bl. Delphina provided nursing care. St. Catherine of Siena is a Doctor of the Church and was a mystic and stigmatic. Bl. Hanna Chrzanowska, RN of Poland is the first lay Catholic Registered Nurse to be beatified. Many nurses were physically martyred in the 20th century in Eastern Europe by the atheist, communist Soviets, and in Algeria, Liberia and Somalia by Muslim extremists. There were also many martyrs of charity who died caring for individuals infected with contagious diseases (e.g. novel influenza, hemorrhagic fever, bubonic plague etc.). They provided nursing care without concern for their own welfare caring for each patients as they would the person of Jesus Christ. As St. Giuseppina, Vannini and many of these founders and foundresses instructed their members, "Always see in the sick the image of the suffering Jesus."

A Rose From Two Gardens
Intriguing parallels arise between contemporary end of life images and themes expressed historically in the writings of Th矇r癡se of Lisieux, the Catholic saint who is known as the "Little Flower." Drawing on her combined experiences as a professor of the humanities at Rice University, and as an Artist In Residence in Palliative, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the author examines topics such as the paradoxical grandeur of small things, the spiritual significance of flowers, compassion and consolation in the wake of human suffering, the power of mystical dreams and prophetic visions, and vibrant conceptions of eternal life. Ultimately, Saint Th矇r癡se's "little way" and contemporary end of life imagery emphasize the knowledge of the heart, which teaches how to see the hidden in everyday life, and how to recognize the dedication of love.

A Life of Joy and Accomplishments
Like many others, living a life of substance and quality was a dream of Dorothy's. She grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin as the youngest of eight children. Being surrounded by a large, loving family inspired her to have a beautiful family of her own. When she met and married her high school sweetheart, Ronnie Manser, she could see her dreams coming true. Thirteen years later, Ronnie and Dorothy both had good jobs, a new home, and five children ages 2-12. Dorothy described their life together as, "busy and wonderful!" Dorothy worked part-time as a nurse at a local hospital. Ronnie always said, "It isn't for the money, but you never know when you will need your nursing skills." In January of 1970, the unimaginable happened when Ronnie passed away unexpectedly. Dorothy's resiliency shined during this difficult time with the support of her family, her ferocious determination, and her talents in the nursing field. This book is an autobiography by Dorothy Meletta George. In her own words, she takes you through her personal joys, tragedies, challenges, and triumphs. Dorothy describes her day with Rosa Parks and her unforgettable trip to Greece, and she includes some of her best family recipes. The biggest lesson she shares in these pages is the depiction of her transition from darkness to light in her personal and professional life. Dorothy illustrates how she became a Hospital Administrator in a male-dominated field, established herself as a nationally known Hospital Accreditation Consultant, and opened her heart to love again. This book implores you to ask yourself: am I living my dream?
