    Abstract Cancer care sector has received significant attention worldwide after an increase in cancer incidence and related mortality every year. There is a large disparity in access to care for cancer patients in view of increasing case number, limited and urban centric cancer care facilities and resource intensive management of cancer along with many other sociodemographic factors. Cancer care delivery is facing many operational challenges at different steps of care globally and it is more pronounced in LMICs. Research directed towards Operations Management (OM) research can provide solutions to many of the challenges encountered during different steps of cancer care and can help us to manage cancer care delivery landscape with cost cutting and quality improvement. The promising abilities of OM is often overlooked for improving various aspects of cancer care despite the fact that its deployment can create OM surplus where the capitals can be tapped to improve the quality of care for the cancer patients. This paper discusses that fundamentals of OM principles must be implemented for creating resilience and gaining effectiveness and efficiency throughout the cancer care operations.

    Abstract Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome characterized by progressive weight loss, muscle mass depletion, and systemic inflammation, profoundly affecting the well-being and treatment outcomes of cancer patients. Effective management of cancer cachexia demands a coordinated, multifaceted approach involving various healthcare disciplines and operational strategies. Streamlining care processes is crucial to ensure timely interventions and support, reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation. Multidisciplinary collaboration is pivotal in creating integrated care plans that address the multifactorial nature of cancer cachexia comprehensively. Data-driven decision-making empowers healthcare teams to identify trends, monitor treatment responses, and tailor care plans to individual needs, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes. Standardized assessment and monitoring play a vital role in maintaining consistent, high-quality care, facilitating early interventions and treatment adjustments. Implementing patient-centered care fosters trust, enhances treatment adherence, and encourages patients to actively engage in their care journey, thereby improving their overall quality of life. This paper underscores the significance of applying operations management principles to optimize care delivery and enhance patient outcomes in the management of cancer cachexia. It provides valuable insights for healthcare institutions and professionals striving to provide comprehensive and effective care for individuals affected by this challenging condition.

    Abstract Modern cancer management has changed over the period of time and now shifted to multidisciplinary care approach to ensure a better quality of life (QOL) of the surfing patients. Every form of cancer treatment has side effects and affects the QOL. Many of the side effects have been discussed in detail because of the need for timely interventions to prevent the consequences of the side effects. Dermatological adverse events due to cancer treatment are important but most commonly ignored in our clinical practice. Nursing staffs have a critical role in the early identification of such events and by briefing and training of the nursing staff in the identification of adverse events which can aid in the prevention of complications. As dermatologists may not be available round the clock, nursing staff are looking after the patients round the clock can prove very vital in screening cutaneous AE and adequately setting up referrals to aid early recognition and treatment of not only mild but also potentially life-threatening complications. The nursing staff, which is a cadre of health caregivers that are intimately involved in cancer care, can be trained to identify timely, skin-related adverse events. A literature search of scientific publications was done using the electronic databases PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The search included terms 'Adverse events (AEs) post-chemotherapy,' 'AE post-radiotherapy,' 'AE post-immunotherapy,' 'AE post-hormonal therapy for cancer' and 'AE post-cancer surgery.' Data obtained from these studies and case reports were compiled and interpreted to prepare this review. This review focuses on various ways in which skin can be involved adversely as a part of cancer management and their classic and tell-tale signs to help the nurses in their better and quicker identification so that dermatologists are timely intimated and the treatment can be instituted to improve the patient's QOL.

    Abstract Enteric fever is a major contributor to rising health care costs in developing countries. Associated disease-related complications and drug resistance further compound this problem. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon complication of enteric fever with high morbidity and mortality. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in enteric fever-associated HLH syndrome. We searched major electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus) to identify the cases of enteric fever associated with HLH from inception until June 2023. Prespecified data regarding clinical presentation, outcomes, and HLH therapy were collected. A total of 53 cases of enteric fever with HLH were included in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 20 years, and the proportions of female and pediatric patients were 52.8% and 45.3%, respectively. The mean duration of illness was 10.4 days. A total of 39.6% of patients had enteric fever-associated complications; coagulopathy and encephalopathy were the most common (23.1% and 13.5%). The overall mortality rate was 9.4% in HLH. A total of 51% of patients received HLH-specific therapy (corticosteroids in 41.5% and intravenous immunoglobulin in 20.8% of patients). On multivariate analysis, high ferritin levels (≥5,000 ng/mL) were significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 3.01; 95% CI = 0.62-14.12, P = 0.041). Enteric fever with secondary HLH is associated with high mortality. This review reveals the potential role of ferritin in disease prognosis. In cases with significantly elevated ferritin levels, the role of immunosuppressants or combination antibiotics should be explored.

    Abstract This paper aims to identify the revised international marketing strategies in communication during the COVID-19 pandemic by utilizing the firm's resources and capabilities. We conducted in-depth interviews and a questionnaire survey with key stakeholders of retail organizations which changed their digital marketing strategies during COVID-19. The data is collected from 587 respondents from different parts of the world through resource orchestration theory. The qualitative findings support a high degree of association among the firm's resources and capabilities, leveraging processes based on the revised international marketing strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have developed a conceptual model based on these findings with six variables: leveraging process of the firm's capabilities information technology-related resources; information technology-related capabilities, dynamic capabilities, environmental uncertainty, and leveraging process of the firm's resources. However, environmental uncertainty and leveraging of the firm's resources were not influential in forming digital marketing strategies during COVID-19. This study proposes a new process for international marketing managers in business organizations to restructure the resources within their organizations by creating new capabilities and leveraging them.

    Abstract QDs are semiconductor nanocrystalline materials with distinct optical and electronic characteristics due to their microscopic size and quantum mechanical properties. They are often composed of materials such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or indium phosphide (InP) and are typically in the size range of 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter. These tiny particles are used in various scientific and technological applications. Some key characteristics and applications of quantum dots are size-dependent Optical Properties with tunable emission. The color of light emitted by quantum dots highly depends on their size. Smaller QDs emit blue or green light, while larger ones emit red or near-infrared light. This tunability makes them valuable in various applications, especially in molecular medicine and oncology research. Quantum dots can exhibit a high quantum yield, meaning they efficiently emit light when excited, making them excellent fluorescent probes for non-invasive imaging. This review discusses the applications of QDs and their role in biomedical research and patient care, focusing on non-invasive imaging and preventive oncology.
