This book offers comprehensive career development advice for
professionals in radiation oncology. While numerous texts have been
published to advise medical students on entry into the specialty,
and to guide residents and junior faculty with exam preparation,
there remains a need for a comprehensive resource that covers
topics pertinent to a successful career within radiation oncology.
This text has been edited and written by leading experts in the
field, and offers multiple unique vantage points. This work is
divided into five sections covering career planning, applying to
faculty positions, early career development, mid and senior career
considerations, and contextual issues. Throughout the text, authors
balance "nuts and bolts" (e.g., preparing your CV and evaluating a
contract) with big picture considerations. Each chapter is written
concisely, yet comprehensively, from the vantage point of a mentor
advising a mentee; questions to review with local mentors and
additional reading suggestions are also provided. Issues of
workforce disparities, conscious and unconscious bias, work-life
equilibrium, and interpersonal conflict, and how these may impact
one's career path, are also closely addressed. While the work is
primarily targeted to those pursuing career paths within academic
medicine, there is also distinct value and tailored content for
trainees and radiation oncologists practicing in hospital-based,
hybrid or community settings. In a period of rapid change in the
healthcare sector and cancer care more specifically, this book will
serve as the premier reference for those pursuing an independent
career in radiation oncology.

This issue provides the reader with a summary of evidence-based
therapies of how to manage emergency care for cancer disorders.?
Articles are dedicated to specific presentation syndromes, such as
malignant epidural spinal cord compression, superior vena cava
syndrome, and airway obstruction. These reviews update the reader
on evidence-based therapies for these entities and highlight the
emerging role of stent therapies. This issue also includes articles
dealing with the neurological, renal, and metabolic (electrolyte
and adrenal) emergencies encountered in the cancer patient. Also
addressed are selected gastrointestinal presentations commonly
encountered in cancer patients, such as the acute abdomen,
gastrointestinal bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy. The issue
concludes with several articles dedicated to hematologic
considerations including venous thrombosis, acquired bleeding
disturbances, and myeloproliferative/hyperviscosity syndromes.

The author approaches the subject of wine from the standpoint of
its Medical, Scientific, Historical, Sensory, Cultural, and Health
viewpoints. He tells you the "Why," as well as the "What." The book
is a well-organized collage of essays written on the numerous
subjects in the world of wine, food, and health. The book starts
from the basics, through the components and what influences them,
Wine defects, how and why you taste and why you like what you like,
the various wines, various wine tools, and then moves to pairing
with food, wine service, and finally the health benefits and risks
of wine consumption. One chapter is guest-written by Tim Hanni, MW,
a Master of Wine from California.

Recent advancements in microfabrication technologies and the
development of powerful simulation tools have led to a significant
expansion of diffractive optics and diffractive optical components.
Instrument developers can choose from a broad range of diffractive
optics elements to complement refractive and reflective components
in achieving a desired control of the optical field. This Field
Guide provides the operational principles and established
terminology of diffractive optics as well as a comprehensive
overview of the main types of diffractive optics components. An
emphasis is placed on the qualitative explanation of the
diffraction phenomenon by the use of field distributions and
graphs, providing the basis for understanding the fundamental
relations and important trends.
Mature believers typically desire to accomplish the will of God for
their lives and want to do the works of Jesus. However, they see
limited opportunities and little fruit born of their efforts. This
insightful book gives a fresh perspective to those wanting to yield
themselves and do the works of Jesus. Its direct application of the
Bible to daily living is bold. Get ready to be challenged: You have
been fully enabled to do the works of Jesus Now what? Your motives
and intentions are good. Why is there no fruit to show for your
works? How does God lead me? Are you reacting to situations or are
you responding in a disciplined, Godly way? Living in God's Kingdom
on Earth will bring to light several critical concepts for
believers and explain the Biblical basis for the principles behind
them. Charles R. Thomas, known simply as "Bob," is passionate about
bringing believers to a higher level of relationship with God. He
recognizes God's hand on his life as a Bible teacher, wanting to
share with others his knowledge and experience in lay ministry. Bob
has been active in church ministry and personal lay ministry for
over thirty years, holding a wide variety of lay ministry
positions. His personal ministry has helped to change lives in
dramatic ways. Bob is active in home Bible study groups and is the
Program Director at his local Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship
International chapter. Bob has a deep conviction about believers
doing the works of Jesus, Whose life is our example. Bob is a
graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center. He holds a B.S. in Science
& Medical Technology from the University of Tennessee. Bob and
his wife Lee reside in Cumming, Georgia.
