Screening for prostate cancer using PSA has several limitations. It It is an organ specific marker, however, pathology specificity is low (elevated in all, prostatitis, prostatomegaly, prostate cancer, prostate manipulation). Attempts have been made to improve specificity while retaining its sensitivity, e.g. PSA density, PSA % free, PSA velocity, prostate health index (which takes into account p2PSA as well).
after diagnosis of prostate cancer, PSA doubling time is used for assessment of indication of treatment for patients on active surveillance as well as that for indication of salvage treatment for patients with biochemical recurrence after initial treatment.

ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPHY ON PRASTATE CAEko indra
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) reduces androgen hormone levels to prevent prostate cancer growth. It can be administered medically or surgically. Medically, it involves using LH-RH agonists or antagonists to inhibit testosterone production, or anti-androgens to block the androgen receptor. Surgically, bilateral orchiectomy quickly reduces testosterone levels. ADT is indicated for high risk and metastatic prostate cancer, and is often used with radiation therapy. The goal is to lower testosterone levels below 50 ng/dL to achieve a castration effect.

Measuring The Service Provided By Project Management - WhitepaperColin Ellis
In 2015, the highly respected Standish Group stated that whilst some projects met time and cost constraints many customers were unhappy about the service they received. We think that has to change and have developed a tool to help you.
Abstract: Digital technologies have made customers powerful, giving them the option to choose and the means to instantaneously spread their opinions widely. They have become demanding, and they change brands without a blink if their experience with the product or service isn’t what they expect. Brand loyalty, therefore, has taken a backseat and customer experience has emerged supreme. In an IBM survey, 95% of CEOs said enhancing customer experience was top priority for them. Security forms a core foundation for enhancing customer experience!
Typically security has been inward looking focusing more on technology vulnerabilities and less on securing business objectives. Securing the digital enterprise entails looking outside-in, to protect customer experience its strategic objective. Also, internally the digital enterprise needs assurance against vulnerabilities introduced by
digital technologies like cloud, IoT etc.

Comprehensive And Integrated Approach To Project Management And Solution Deli...Alan McSweeney
An integrated approach to project management, business analysis, solution architecture, and portfolio management is needed to ensure projects deliver business value. Treating these disciplines as isolated silos risks project failure from solutions not meeting requirements or business needs. The key is understanding what the business wants (requirements), what it will get (designed solution), prioritizing projects, and proper implementation through all phases of the solution lifecycle.
Here are some key considerations for your cloud patching cadence:
- Align your patching cadence with your Oracle cadence month. This ensures you receive patches on the same schedule as other Oracle customers.
- Schedule non-production patching for the first Friday of the cadence month and production patching for the third Friday. This allows time between the environments.
- Check Oracle's public blackout calendar to avoid any dates where patching may be disrupted.
- Consider concurrent patching to update multiple components like database and middleware together for reduced downtime.
- Opt-in to monthly patching to continually incorporate critical updates for best security posture.
Does this help summarize some of the main factors to establish a cloud patching cadence

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

Everyone’s talking about AI but is anyone really using it to create real value?
Most companies want to leverage AI. Few know 𝗵𝗼𝘄.
✅ What exactly should you ask to find real AI opportunities?
✅ Which AI techniques actually fit your business?
✅ Is your data even ready for AI?
If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. This is a condensed version of the slides I presented at a Linkedin webinar for Tecnovy on 28.04.2025.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

9. Work Modules
Core components of the Rapid Results 2.1 methodology
Groupings of related tasks directed toward accomplishing a specific work product
Each Work Module has an associated Work Module Approach that provides
guidance on how to complete the defined work
Groupings of tasks that are executed during one or more of the phases and
guide the creation of project deliverables.
10. Work Module Approaches
Offer a standard, repeatable framework to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’ each
engagement allowing consultants to have more time for value-added activities.
Describe a module and the role it
plays in an implementation project.
Define the Inputs and
Deliverables of the work.
Contain an approach to
completing the module by
describing the recommended
tasks and their sequence.
Provide key considerations, lessons
learned and leading practices for
executing that work module.
Provide deliverable templates,
and tools to aid the execution
of module tasks.
