Covid-19 and Its Impact on Radiation Oncology Practice in India.

Abstract

Patients with cancer are known to be at an increased risk for community-acquired respiratory viruses, because of their frequently observed systemic immunosuppressive state caused by the malignancy and anticancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. In this study different challenges of radiation oncology department and their infection control practices are given such as Pt screening, temperature monitoring and pt staff education, hygiene and departmental cleaning, zoning,work load management etc.There must be national and departmental measures to be taken in response to covid 19 pandemic.Some of risk adapted triage strategies for radiotherapy patients during covid 19 is discussed further. Comparison between covishield, covaxin and sputnik V covid 19 vaccines and lack of vaccine prioritisation for cancer patients in India have been elaborated.

Material Extrusion of Multi-Polymer Structures Utilizing Design and Shrinkage Behaviors: A Design of Experiment Study

“…Generally, composites are conventionally manufactured through two processes: open-mold processes (e.g., wet-layup, spray-up, and filament winding) and closed-mold processes (e.g., resin transfer molding, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, and injection molding) [ 2 ]. However, there are several issues associated with the fabrication of composite materials, such as high labor costs, labor-intensive processes, mold design, and high tooling costs [ 3 ].…”
