The most frequent side effects include cardiovascular complications, which can lead to acute and delayed morbidity and mortality, often many years later. The discipline of cardio-oncology deals with the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases caused by cancer therapy. The most important cardiovascular side effects of cytostatic therapy are heart failure due to myocardial dysfunction (cardiotoxicity), coronary artery disease, valvular disease and ventricular arrhythmia as a result of QT extension. In addition, arterial hypertension, thromboembolic events, pulmonary hypertension, vasculopathy and pericardial complications can also occur. Fundamentally, a strict limitation of risk factors is necessary to minimize the cardiovascular side effects of potentially cardiotoxic therapeutic procedures. Patients with impaired left ventricular function should be identified by echocardiographic examination prior to cardiotoxic chemotherapy. Treatment with beta blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can also be indicated in asymptomatic patients in order to minimize the effects of chemotherapy on myocardial dysfunction. Prophylactic administration of ACE inhibitors and beta blockers during anthracycline chemotherapy can be considered in patients free of cardiac disease.","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=27830273&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","isPdfLink":false,"isSAML":false,"additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Kevin Purdy","Published_Date":"2007-12-12","Source":"Gawker: Lifehacker. 12\/12\/2007, p1. 0p.","Languages":"English","Title_Abbreviations":"Gawker: Lifehacker"},"header":{"DbId":"edo","DbLabel":"Supplemental Index","An":"27830273","RelevancyScore":"645","PubType":"","PubTypeId":"unknown","PreciseRelevancyScore":"644.930725097656"},"plink":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=edo&AN=27830273&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","upload_link":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=edo&AN=27830273&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds"}
If you've come to know and love your OpenOffice.org platform, new online office suite Ulteo might just pull you away from Google Docs or Zoho, or even the upcoming Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Office Live. Ulteo uses Java to recreate nearly the same interfaces as the deskop software's word processor, spreadsheet and database applications. While obviously geared toward OpenOffice enthusiasts, Ulteo can import and export to Microsoft Office and PDF files like its desktop brother. The beta webapp is accepting 15,000 users from North America and Europe at the moment; I got in this morning after fishing the confirmation email out of the spam bin. Ulteo requires a browser have both Javascript and Sun's Java Runtime environment enabled—Ubuntu users in particular might have to check their packages to ensure compatability.Ulteo [via LH Australia] racker.php?i=e6f4614234475199f207f4a6ebf97e08" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
