As an agricultural-based village, wives in Mojorejo village located in Ponorogo, East Jave have been supporting the family income from occassional production of bamboo handicraft, e.g. ‘besek’, ‘tumbu’, and ‘rinjing’ for generations. Despite its great potential, this bamboo handicraft is still produced individually with one family produced only one type of product, resulting in low economical impact for the family and the village. This community service program aimed to establish a ‘bamboo handicraft center’ with the final goal of increasing the income of the community in Mojorejo Village. This community service program uses a participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approach, which in the implementation of the program, several methods were used, in the form of focus group discussions, training, technology introduction, counseling and mentoring. As a result of this community development program, the community's economy have increased through development of new products and management of the micro-businesses from production to marketing.

This study aims to determine the effects of Covid 19 upon tourism sector in Kars. The study benefited from three methods, the first of which involved analyzing the articles by scanning via Nvivo analysis program. Secondly, a semi-structured interview was conducted with ten employees. However, this number was seen inadequate; thus, the questionnaire was conducted with 387 people to compensate for this inadequacy. The data were analyzed through SPSS and AMOS, and examined Covid 19 effects upon tourism on the basis of demographical variables. The results revealed that dismissals from hotels and restaurants were common, the business experienced a serious loss of income, they needed support from the government to recollect and at least one year was required to turn back to conditions before. The results indicated that people had a negative attitude towards tourism activities, hesitated to travel and thought that they would not be able to find service quality, sincerity and hospitality as they had before. Moreover, the study helped us realize that, due to Covid 19, females were more worried when compared to males; the married ones were more anxious in comparison to single ones; and the elderly had more anxiety when compared to the young.
Experiência e racionalidade estética no trabalho docente
Authors: Maurício Inácio da Silva  , Betlinski Carlos
Published: November 2020

Compreender o trabalho docente como experiência, incorporar a racionalidade estética e o cuidado de si tornam-se condições para a sua valorização. O enfraquecimento e a precarização das atividades educativas na sociedade contemporânea tem provocado angústia e desencanto em muitos professores e, diante desta realidade elabora-se o seguinte problema para direcionar nossa discussão: Qual é o lugar da experiência estética no contexto do trabalho docente? Como objetivos desta incursão teórica problematiza-se as condições concretas das atividades educativas na sociedade neoliberal, pois impedem a experiência e a construção de sentido para os sujeitos dessas atividades e, propõe-se a racionalidade estética e o cuidado de si como fundamentos do ofício docente conferindo-lhe um sentido artístico. O caminho de construção do texto percorreu o pensamento de Walter Benjamin e Theodor Adorno, e uma aproximação das ideias de Michael Foucault com esses teóricos, considerando os conceitos de experiência, racionalidade estética, cuidado de si e estética da existência. Como resultados da discussão evidenciou-se que ao resgatar a racionalidade estética em seu trabalho, o docente pode tonificar sua atuação profissional, mesmo diante de uma tendência histórica da sociedade capitalista de desvalorização do professor e imposição de uma racionalidade instrumental como forma de controle que ele mesmo acaba reproduzindo em seu fazer pedagógico. O cuidado de si cria espaço para pensar a necessidade do docente cultivar práticas e exercícios corporais e mentais que o levem a criar um estilo particular de ser superando os limites do pensamento e das práticas burocratizadas neoliberais, abrindo possibilidades de construção de um ofício assentado na experiência estética.
Uses of Telehealth to Support Identification and Treatment of Health Disorders in the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Naim Haque Saira
Published: November 2020

Telehealth, the interactive, electronic exchange of information for diagnosis, treatment, support, or care management, is a critical component of many systems of care.1 The variety of telehealth uses, technologies, and approaches, when implemented successfully, can improve access to care and overcome typical geographic and workforce barriers.1 The opioid epidemic and recent social distancing requirements due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have prompted public safety, behavioral health, and other community partners to explore how telehealth can be used for identification and treatment of disorders in the criminal justice system.
Telehealth offers an innovative strategy for intervention and treatment within the criminal justice system, which is greatly needed given the prevalence of justice-involved populations affected by opioid-use disorder. For one, it is costly to provide treatment and care to people who are incarcerated, and telehealth can help reduce that cost.2 Using telehealth to connect these people to providers can also help avoid resource-heavy and potentially dangerous transfers to care settings. In addition, a telehealth strategy can minimize the burden associated with recruiting and retaining healthcare providers on site, particularly behavioral health providers, who are often in short supply.
Offering options virtually is one way to ameliorate organizational challenges. Services that can be provided via telehealth include inpatient and outpatient medical services, behavioral health, physical and occupational therapy, disaster management, health education,1 and coordination of care support for inmates, providers, and officials. Telehealth can also be used to facilitate release of inmates by connecting people who are in prison or jail with community-based services before release.
Telemental Health Care: A Review of Efficacy and Interventions
Authors: Schaffer Calvin T. , Nakrani Preeti , Pirraglia Paul A.
Published: November 2020

Objective: Mental illness continues to rise in the United States, burdening a healthcare system set to dive further into a shortage of mental health practitioners. The effects of this are already being felt in many rural areas, which are all too frequently understaffed to address the mental health concerns of their populations. To further compound this growing crisis, COVID-19 has led to a reduction in access to in-person care. Furthermore, COVID-19 has led to reduced access to in-person care. As a result, Telehealth has become more essential. Knowledge of the strategies and barriers to implement a successful Telehealth program is necessary to deliver a sustainable, accessible, and quality care.
Design: In this review, we analyze published research on the efficacy of Telehealth for mental health, discuss how these services have been implemented, and explore how to address barriers to quality care delivery via Telehealth.
Results: Telehealth, when the appropriate resources and supports are considered, is effective in a wide range of patient populations and care locations. Multiple modalities, including via video, apps, and telephone were shown to be efficacious. Interventions have been shown to increase the accessibility to care without compromising quality of care.
Conclusions: Telehealth constitutes a well-researched, efficacious tool to address the issues in access to care. Telemental health programs should address the barriers to implementation, including training, access to technology, reimbursement and regulations, and adequate program oversight. Telehealth interventions should be strongly considered in areas facing shortages of mental health practitioners and long wait times for patients with mental health disorders, to reduce the burden of mental illness on healthcare.

Authors: DeSanti Ryan L. , Brown Diane H. , Srinivasan Sushant , Brazelton Tom , Wilhelm Michael
Published: November 2020

Objective: Management of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required social distancing requirements and personal protective equipment shortages, which have forced hospitals to modify patient care rounds. We describe our process developing telemedicine rounds to maintain synchronous, multidisciplinary, pediatric intensive care unit rounds. By adapting available resources using rapid process improvement (PI), we were able to develop patient- and family-centered video rounds (PFCVR).
Design: When rounding team members were forced to work from home, we adapted an existing telemedicine platform (VidyoConnect) to perform PFCVR. A quality improvement (QI) team developed an initial standard process, which underwent rapid PI using a small multidisciplinary team.
Setting: A 21-bed, mixed medical/surgical/cardiac pediatric intensive care unit.
Participants: Critical care patients, families, physicians, consultants, nurses, and ancillary staff.
Interventions: The QI team initially met daily, then weekly, sought feedback from nurses, families, and other care providers, and utilized small tests of change to improve the rounding process.
Results: We established standardized, socially distanced rounds using VidyoConnect to allow synchronous, multidisciplinary PFCVR. Implementation of a schedule and rounding script facilitated efficient and effective team communication, optimized participation by the entire team, and decreased interruptions.
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic compromised the feasibility of the previous rounding process. PFCVR is a safe and effective tool to facilitate communication while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Use of available platforms and team-based PI is critical for successful implementation.

Published: November 2020

The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area presents a new era issue for the United Front Work of Hong Kong and Macao. On the basis of combing the related literature, the article analyzes the united front dilemma faced by the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and proposes a possible path for the innovation of the Australian united front work mechanism. The author holds that from the perspective of the united front, the main difficulties facing the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are economic "symbiosis", cultural "combination" and social "linkage".The united front work in Hong Kong and Macau should keep pace with the times and innovate working mechanisms in the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Authors:   Duta Wacana Christian University, Indonesia, Christianti Ari
Published: November 2020

Financial conglomeration in Indonesia is a unique form because Indonesia has three financial conglomeration types that existed. There are vertical, horizontal, and mixed types. In fact, many countries are implementing vertical financial conglomerates because the supervision is easier to carry out than other types. This study tried to compare the performance of vertical, horizontal, and mixed financial conglomerates. Is it true that a vertical financial conglomerate is the best financial conglomerate compared to a horizontal and mixed one with the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) analysis? This study used return indicators and risk indicators to measure financial conglomerates' performance in the banking industry. The results showed that vertical financial conglomerates were the most superior compared to horizontal and mixed financial conglomerates. It might be attributed that vertical financial conglomerates usually have the same activities and have an explicit direct relationship between the parent company and subsidiary company so as it is more easily to supervising.

Published: November 2020

The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) SARS-CoV-2, is an evolving respiratory disease which was first detected in December, 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has eventually spread to larger parts of the world. COVID-19 may result in mild to severe respiratory distress, depending on the individuals´ age and immune system as well as the presence of any underlying conditions. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical students towards COVID-19. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study that involved all the medical students in Enugu State University College of Medicine, Enugu State, Nigeria. Data was collected with an online questionnaire formulated in Google form. It was shared through their different class online platforms (WhatsApp). All the data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Categorical variables were presented in the form of frequencies and percentages. Majority of the students were within the 15-24 years age group (79.3%), females (62.1%) and single (98.3%). All the students were of Igbo Ethnic group and Christians. Most of them were in their 5th year of study (39.7%). About 65.4% of the students had good knowledge of COVID-19, while 48.6% of them had good attitude towards COVID-19. Majority of them (77.6%) however, had good practice towards COVID-19. There is poor attitude of the medical students towards the COVID-19 pandemic but they had better knowledge and practice towards the pandemic. Measures should be put in place to address attitudinal change among this group of students towards infectious diseases like the present COVID-19.
Stem Cells, Cancer and the Theory of Cancer Stem Cells in Solid Tumours
Authors: Almutary Abdulmajeed
Published: November 2020

Solid tumours are an immense cancer burden and a main therapeutic challenge. The theory of cancer stem cells provides an attractive cellular mechanism to account for the therapeutic resistance exhibited by many of these tumours. There is strong evidence that various solid tumours are hierarchically managed and sustained by notable subpopulations of cancer stem cells. Recent evidence of cancer stem cells emerged from a mouse model epithelial tumorigenesis, also some models of heterogeneity may apply. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capability to renew themselves and produce lineages of the blood; yet the signals that control HSc self-renewal remain indistinct. WnT signalling pathway has crucial role in the expression of activated p-catenin which expands the HSCs in a long-term cultures. In addition, Wnt signalling can interrupt the lymphocyte progenitor cells proliferation and affect the cells development. Other similar signalling pathways such as Notch and Hedgehog (Hh) are found in normal stem cells. Therapeutic targeting of cancer stem cells and tumour population could shed light on how to supress tumour growth. In this review, we suggest that by developing a new anti-cancer stem cell therapeutic agent that targets embryonic signalling pathways of cancer stem cells can improve the treatment of the disease
Cultivating Connection: The Magic of Attuning, Wondering, Following & Holding
Authors: Petry Ann Flanagan
Published: November 2020

Remember what drew you to health care? And what makes your work meaningful now? Chances are caring for people is the answer to both questions. In fact, healthcare is provided through relationships. Over a decade ago we developed a care delivery framework described in the award-winning book Relationship-Based Care: A Model for Transforming Practice. We were on the vanguard of a revolution toward more patient-centered caring. Indeed, we have always known the importance of connection to patient experience, employee attitudes, interpersonal relations, teams and performance. For nurses, caring relationships are so essential at work that it is inseparable from the work itself. We believe the best nursing care requires understanding of three key relationships: A. Relationship to one’s self, B. Relationship to co-workers and C. Relationship to patients and families. And, the hallmark of meaningful connection is attunement or tuning-in to others with genuine interest and care.
Theresa May Wants to Stop ‘Unnecessary Detentions’ with New Mental Health Act

At RECOVERY Assistance Dogs we filled in an Independent Review of the 2007 Mental Health Act by February 28, 2018. The review was about when a person can be admitted, detained, and treated in hospital without their agreement. We made our point that people should have the Human Right to a Fair Trial before they can be locked up against their will. The Law says that only people who are a danger to others or themselves should be detained involuntarily. Yet at the moment people are have to submit to ‘unnecessary detentions’ for being ‘high’, unable to answer the question correctly or other reasons that a Court of Law would dismiss

Finite element thermal analysis of a moving porous fin with temperature-variant thermal conductivity and internal heat generation
Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos State, Nigeria, Sobamowo Gbeminiyi
Published: November 2020

This paper focuses on finite element analysis of the thermal behaviour of a moving porous fin with temperature-variant thermal conductivity and internal heat generation. The numerical solutions are used to investigate the effects of Peclet number, Hartmann number, porous and convective parameters on the temperature distribution, heat transfer and efficiency of the moving fin. The results show that when the convective and porous parameters increase, the adimensional fin temperature decreases. However, the value of the fin temperature is amplified as the value Peclet number is enlarged. Also, an increase in the thermal conductivity and the internal heat generation cause the fin temperature to fall and the rate of heat transfer from the fin to decrease. Therefore, the operational parameters of the fin must be carefully selected to avoid thermal instability in the fin.

Comportamentos ortoréticos e experiências de vergonha: A sua relação e impacto no comportamento alimentar perturbado
Authors: Semião Patrícia , Oliveira Sara , Ferreira Cláudia
Published: November 2020

Objetivos: O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o comportamento ortorético (estilo atitudinal e comportamental que reflete uma preocupação intensa e persistente com o consumo de alimentos saudáveis) enquanto fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de comportamentos alimentares perturbados e comportamentos de ingestão alimentar compulsiva. No Estudo 1 foram testadas diferenças entre níveis moderados/severos e níveis baixos de comportamento ortorético em relação às experiências de vergonha (geral e focada na imagem corporal) e indicadores de comportamento alimentar perturbado (geral e compulsão alimentar). No Estudo 2 foi testado um modelo teórico que hipotetiza a associação entre o comportamento ortorético, vergonha geral e da imagem corporal como fatores de risco do comportamento alimentar perturbado e da compulsão alimentar, em mulheres da população geral. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 307 mulheres da população geral, com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 63 anos (M = 33,62 ± 11,73) que responderam a um protocolo online composto por medidas de autorresposta. Resultados: As participantes com níveis moderados/severos de comportamento ortorético revelaram níveis significativamente superiores de vergonha geral, vergonha da imagem corporal, comportamento alimentar perturbado e compulsão alimentar, comparativamente às participantes com níveis baixos de comportamento ortorético. Os resultados da path analysis indicaram que o comportamento ortorético, a vergonha geral e a vergonha da imagem corporal explicam 51,0% da variância do comportamento alimentar perturbado e 47,0% da variância da compulsão alimentar. Conclusões: O presente estudo sugere o comportamento ortorético como possível fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de Perturbações do Comportamento Alimentar. Os resultados deste estudo são importantes para a prática clínica, mostrando que os comportamentos ortoréticos, apesar de serem muitas vezes considerados como comportamentos socialmente aceitáveis, quando associados a experiências de vergonha geral e da imagem corporal, podem contribuir para maior severidade dos comportamentos alimentares perturbados, tanto do tipo restritivo como de ingestão alimentar compulsiva.
A vergonha e o bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes: O medo de receber compaixão e os sentimentos de segurança e ligação aos outros como processos mediadores
Authors: Mendes Ana Laura , Canavarro Maria Cristina , Ferreira Cláudia
Published: November 2020

Objetivos: O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o papel mediador do medo de receber compaixão dos outros e dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade, em contexto social, na associação entre vergonha externa e o bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes. Foi hipotetizado que adolescentes com elevados níveis de vergonha externa apresentem uma diminuição nos níveis de bem-estar psicológico, através do aumento do medo de receber compaixão e da diminuição dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade em contexto social. Métodos: Participaram neste estudo 361 adolescentes portugueses de ambos os sexos (43,8% rapazes; 56,2% raparigas), com idade entre os 12 e os 18 anos, os quais completaram medidas de autorresposta relativamente a sentimentos de vergonha, medo da compaixão, sentimentos de segurança e de proximidade aos outros, e bem-estar percebido dos adolescentes.  Os dados foram explorados através de estatísticas descritivas e correlacionais, e o modelo teórico proposto foi testado através de análises path. Resultados: Os dados pareceram demonstrar que, em ambos os sexos, a vergonha externa está associada a um decréscimo do bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes, e que este efeito é mediado pelo aumento do medo de receber compaixão dos outros e pela diminuição dos sentimentos de segurança e conexão em contexto social. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo testado apresenta um adequado ajustamento aos dados, explicando 15,0% da variância do medo de receber compaixão dos outros, 37,0% da variância dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade aos outros e 46,0% da variância do bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes. Conclusões: Este estudo parece contribuir para uma compreensão mais aprofundada acerca da importância do papel dos sentimentos de inferioridade, do medo de receber compaixão dos outros, e dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade, no contexto social, no bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes.

Authors: Macedo Paula , Guadalupe Sónia
Published: November 2020

Objetivo: O estudo teve como objetivo analisar a articulação entre a saúde e o apoio social informal no âmbito da continuidade de cuidados. Participantes: Participaram 57 doentes referenciados em 2019 por um hospital para a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados em Portugal. A amostra era maioritariamente do sexo feminino (63,2%; n = 36), com uma média de idades de 80 anos (DP = 9,2), predominantemente de residência rural (64,9%; n = 37), casada (56,1%; n = 32), em que 35,0% vivia só ( n = 20). Método: Estudo descritivo com análise quantitativa univariada e análise categorial do conteúdo dos registos no processo social. Resultados: Dos 57 doentes referenciados para a Rede, registaram-se óbitos e cancelamentos em 32 casos (56,1%). Dos 25 doentes que tiveram alta da Rede, no pós-alta todos necessitavam de apoio informal e/ou formal, enquanto que à data de referenciação hospitalar apenas 20,0% da amostra necessitava de apoio (p < 0,001). Dos que tinham apoio, cerca de um terço tinha apoio da rede social primária, maioritariamente dos filhos e cerca de metade dos doentes tinha filhos emigrantes. No pós-alta 64% (n = 16 dos 25) tinham apoio informal. Verificámos ainda que 8,8% dos doentes eram cuidadores e passaram a necessitar de cuidados. Conclusão: O estudo confirma a importância de assegurar cuidados continuados aos cidadãos que viram a sua vulnerabilidade aumentada por doença com sequelas, assim como a fulcral articulação com o sistema de apoio informal aos doentes.
Pressure Injury Surveillance and Prevention in Australia: Monash Partners Capacity Building Framework
Authors: Team Victoria , Jones Angela , Teede Helena , Weller Carolina D.
Published: November 2020

Pressure injury is a common hospital acquired complication across the globe. The severity of hospital acquired pressure injury ranges from skin redness and no skin breakdown to full skin and tissue loss, exposing tendons and bones. Pressure injury can significantly impact on quality of life. In addition to the human cost, hospital acquired pressure injury carries a high economic burden with the cost of treatment far outweighing preventative measures. Hospital acquired pressure injury rates are a key indicator of health services performance. Globally, health care services aim to reduce its incidence. In Australia, the federal health minister has prioritised the need for improvement in hospital acquired pressure injury surveillance and prevention. Capacity building is vital to optimise pressure injury surveillance and prevention in acute care services. In this perspective article, we provide a framework for capacity building to optimise hospital acquired pressure injury prevention and surveillance in a large cross-sector collaborative partnership in Australia. This framework comprises six key action areas in capacity building to optimise pressure injury outcomes, this include: research, organizational development, workforce development, leadership, collaboration, and consumer involvement.

AbstracFaith which means belief is always positioned in the heart (qalb) of humans. In contrast to that, the word Islam is always positioned on the external aspect. Because, a new person can be called a Muslim, if he submits, submits and obeys Allah's orders. Faith is also not just ansih deeds which are outwardly characteristic of the actions of believers. Because there are not a few hypocrites who outwardly do acts of worship and do good deeds, while their hearts are contrary to their physical deeds, what they do is not based on sincerity seeking Rida Allah. But because faith is difficult or cannot be measured its existence without seeing the outward expression of a believer, then there is expansion without seeing the outer expression of a believer, then there is an expansion of the meaning of this word. Keywords: faith, action.Abstrak Iman yang berarti percaya selalu diposisikan berada di dalam hati (qalb) manusia. Berbeda dengan itu, kata islam selalu diposisikan berada pada aspek lahiriah. Sebab, seseorang baru dapat disebut muslim, jika ia tunduk, pasrah dan patuh kepada perintah Allah. Iman juga bukan sekedar amal perbuatan ansih yang secara lahiriyah merupakan ciri khas perbuatan orang-orang beriman. Sebab orang-orang munafik pun tak sedikit yang secara lahiriyah mengerjakan amal ibadah dan berbuat baik, sementara hati mereka bertolak belakang dengan perbuatan lahirnya, apa yang dikerjakan bukan didasari keikhlasan mencari Ridha Allah Namun karena iman sukar atau tidak bisa diukur eksistensinya tanpa melihat ekspresi lahiriah dari seorang mukmin, maka terjadi ekspansinya tanpa melihat ekspresi lahiriah dari seorang mukmin, maka terjadi ekspansi makna dari kata ini. Kata Kunci: iman, perbuatan.
ELK3 is differentially expressed in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is utilized for the treatment of human breast cancer (1, 2), but a complete understanding of how tumor signal transduction is modulated by trastuzumab treatment is lacking. By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that the ETS family transcription factor ELK3 was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, and expressed at lower levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression of a molecule that can promote the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells in vitro, support metastasis of breast cancer in experimental models in vivo, and specify the definitive neural crest (5-8).

Kekristenan masuk di Minahasa mulai abad pertengahan, dibawa oleh para pelaut eropa yang mencari rempa-rempa. Namun kekristenan itu sendiri mulai tersebar luas disembilan suku Minahasa ketika dua penginjil dari Jerman yaitu Riedel dan Schwarz pada tahun 1829 yang diutus oleh lembaga penginjilan NZG masuk di tanah minahasa. Namun, walaupun orang Minahasa sebagian besar memeluk agaman Kristen mereka tetap memegang teguh budaya adat istiadat yang diwarisi nenek moyang mereka dari generasi ke generasi, budaya pemanggilan arwah adalah sala satu dari budaya suku Minahsa, yang memang bertentangan dengan Firman Tuhan. Kendati demikian orang-orang minahsa belum melepaskan budaya itu pemanggilan arwah adalah wuhud penghormatan mereka kepada leluhur mereka. Dalam hal inilah penulis akan membahas tetang pandangan teologis terhadap budaya pemanggilan arwah di suku minahasa. Adapun metode yang dipakai penulis adalah dokumentasi dan studi literatur yang tentunya untuk menggali pendalaman materi ini tidak lepas juga penulis melakukan wawancara yang berupa tanya jawab secara tidak langsung denga tokoh-tokoh pemangku adat suku Minahasa melalui sarana media teknologi.
LRRC15 is differentially expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

One study has reported a 34% incidence of central nervous system metastases, including metastasis to the brain, in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab (1). We mined published microarray data (2, 3) to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in breast cancer. We identified significant differential expression of the leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15, encoded by LRRC15 (4, 5), in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. LRRC15 may be relevant to the biology underlying colonization of the brain with metastatic breast cancer clones.

Rehabilitation is a process that allows individuals to return to the highest possible level of function. Usually aims to restore the level of function that is the same or higher than the level of function before the illness. Nurses in implementing mental nursing care use scientific methods in the form of nursing processes, interacting with clients, both individuals, families, and communities to achieve client independence. One of the nursing services in independent clients is a rehabilitation program in accordance with the definition of mental patient rehabilitation formulated in the National Working Meeting of Mental Health
Runx1T1 is differentially expressed in metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to the brain and to the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the Runx1 translocation partner 1, encoded by Runx1T1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to brain and to the lymph nodes when compared to primary tumors of the breast or to normal breast tissues, respectively. Molecular functions and down-regulation of Runx1T1 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the lymph nodes and to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and suggests some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain.
