Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Compassion in the medical field differs from its traditional meaning in daily
life. In medicine, compassion includes a desire to understand an individual’s
suffering, together with a wish to relieve it. In essence, compassion offers a unique
concept, according to which, the modern science of compassion can be practically
applied to suffering people, in many circumstances. This is particularly important for
some vulnerable groups of patients (e.g., ethnic minorities), such as women with
breast cancer (BC) (e.g., in advanced or metastatic stages, with comorbidities and
socioeconomic problems).
This chapter presents some suggestions (based on recent research reports) for helpful
strategies that medical professionals can use daily, to help maintain compassion
for their patients with serious diseases, including some aggressive cancers (e.g.,
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)).
