MARKETING - ENGINE OF BUSINESS

Every company has its own style of selling products & services . The name of a company does not make sense that it will make to the fortune 100 one day rather the efficient management of its resources & sound business environment makes it great. The leadership can give it a edge over its competitors .Business flows like a boat on a stormy sea. The leaders only set the direction to avoid the boat to sink & make sureto reach the port in time. But we have to remember that Michel Dell, Jach welch or Henry Ford are the captains of Titanics , which forgot to sink. Is there any simple process to benchmark them............

WARNING!!!! Higher Risk for liver transplant patients

People who have undergone a liver transplant are at a three-fold risk of developing cancer than the general population, according to researchers. The research team led by Helena Isoniemi of Finland analyzed cancer risk pattern in Finnish liver transplant patients from Helsinki University Central between 1982 and 2005.

Among the 540 liver transplant recipients, they found a total of 39 post-transplant de novo cancers in 36 patients.

The overall standardized incidence ratio (SIR) compared to the general population was 2.59. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, non-melanoma skin cancer and basal cell carcinoma had significantly elevated SIRs.The most common cancer types in human cohort are lymphoma and skin cancer.

"Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which included four cases of post-transplant lymphoproliverative disorder, occurred more frequently in males, in patients transplanted at a younger age and soon after transplantation."
Whereas, non-melanoma skin cancer was more common among older patients and those who had antibody induction therapy.

It has been noted a significantly increased risk of de novo oropharyngeal and lung cancers amongst liver transplant patients that smoke, which a potentially preventable condition is.

"The overall rate of de novo solid tumors increased with age at the time of transplant and the length of follow up; while the rate of post-transplant lympho-proliferative disorders decreased with age at the liver transplant, with a higher incidence in the first few years,” as by research.

The study appears in Liver Transplantation, is available in a journal by John Wiley and Sons.

::and the QUEST BEGINS.....

Why are we called humans?
What makes us diferent from other species on earth?
it's our never ending quest of knowledge..to learn and explore new horizons...
What we would have been if our ancestors wouldn't have initiated a quest to discover...What if no scientist had invented any thing new....
it's our quest, that has given us power::goood and bad::
be a part of it and share a vision..to make a small part of this world a better place..
