"Radiation therapy is often extremely well tolerated in colorectal cancer. Technology has really changed things. But location of the tumor can affect side effects, such as radiation dermatitis. If a patient has a low-lying tumor, if it's less than six centimeters from the anal verge, the patient is likely to have some skin reaction. It's good to be proactive if that's the case," ONS member Lorraine Drapek, DNP, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, nurse practitioner in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation side effects in colorectal cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "In recent years, there has been more nonsurgical management of rectal cancer, especially in what we call the low-lying population. This is the population of patients who would likely end up with a permanent colostomy because their cancer is so low in terms of being close to or involving the anal verge. There is now a regimen where these patients can get their chemotherapy followed by their chemoradiation and then be monitored on close surveillance without surgery." TS 2:23 "Another assessment would be to assess what effects have they had from their chemotherapy that they're bringing with them. FOLFOX-based treatment is commonly used, and the platinum therapy oxaliplatin often causes peripheral neuropathy. What is the patient having? What are those symptoms like? Are they having peripheral neuropathy? If they are that is likely not going to get better or improve during their whole course of radiation. In fact, sometimes when oxaliplatin therapy stops, the peripheral neuropathy can get worse as patients are going through other treatments." TS 5:42 "If the patient has a low-lying tumor, if it's less than six centimeters from the anal verge, the patient is likely to have some skin reaction. It's good to be proactive if that's the case. And then proactively minimizing radiation dermatitis effects, such as keeping the area clean, good washing of the area, and prophylactically starting them on or having someone start them on steroid creams a couple of times a day to minimize that radiation dermatitis effect in the long run." TS 7:25 "I have a sexual health clinic for women with these effects. It's very important as nurses that if you can develop the comfort to ask patients about their sexual activity—it's hard, but it really needs to be done. And I will tell you that the healthcare providers are not doing it. They don't have time, and like us as nurses, we don't get this in school, and neither do they. The other providers don't get it in school either, but it's important. Patients are getting more and more worried about their sexual health. They're coming to us at a younger age, and this is really, really important to address." TS 15:35 "I would say that working with your advanced practice providers and education for advanced practice providers has definitely been focusing on [sexual health] more. Your PAs and your NPs—I think they're going to have the ears and the wherewithal to be able to be your allies and colleagues in this. By and large, it's my APP colleagues and nursing that I talk to the most about this. … Again, it's not an easy thing to bring forward, having dilators in place. But I will tell you in the department that I work in, it was me and couple of nurses who pushed this issue with the physicians for two years and finally got it put in place. It can be done. There's a lot more centers out there doing that." TS 21:51

Lauren Coyle, Launch Commissioning Editor, Bioconjugate Insights, speaks with Weston Kightlinger, CEO, Ridge Bio, about the challenge of DAR heterogeneity and site specificity in ADC development, Ridge Bio's ML‑driven enzyme and linker engineering platforms, and what site‑specific conjugation means for the future of ADCs as the field moves beyond oncology.

"Skin reactions, such as redness, dryness, and just irritation of the skin, can occur. Since we're irradiating the lung, we can also cause a cough, and that's due to the inflammation from the radiation. Patients can also get esophagitis if the tumor that we're treating is close to the midline of the chest near the esophagus. And probably the most common side effect that we see is fatigue," ONS member Amy MacRostie, RN, OCN®, radiation oncology nurse at St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend, OR, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation side effects in lung cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "The types of radiation that can be used are external beam radiation and stereotactic body radiation treatment, or SBRT. External beam radiation is often used in combination with other treatment modalities, like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, to treat these cancers. And SBRT is usually done solo, and it's a highly precise treatment for inoperable or early-stage lung cancers." TS 1:52 "[Physicians and] providers can also help prevent side effects by reducing the dose to the heart and reducing the dose to the good lung tissue, if you will, as much as they possibly can. And this is done using intensity-modulated techniques, or IMRT. And that's where the linear accelerator sculpts the radiation beams conforming to the shape of the tumor itself." TS 6:37 "I think overall cancer treatment can lead to decreased libido and decreased sexual interest. Depression and fear can definitely play a role in this. And with lung radiation, specifically, fatigue and possibly shortness of breath with the exertion may decrease sexual interest. Nurses and providers should support the patient in their desire or lack thereof in sexual activities. We should have open discussions … and these can take place with patients about intimacy and how that can be approached in a different way that can accommodate for the side effects that the patients might be experiencing." TS 8:57 "Post-radiation scans will be abnormal. Post-radiation imaging can be misread as a progression of disease or residual disease. And I tell patients, 'Don't panic. Talk to your radiation oncologist so they can read the imaging themselves and interpret the results.' Oftentimes what's read as progression is radiation treatment sequela of scarring or fibrosis." TS 11:25

Our guest today is award-winning Atlanta architect Timothy Adams. His firm, T.S. Adams Studio Architects, has become synonymous with classical lines and highly detailed craftsmanship. Tim sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to talk about his beautiful new book, Tradition Made New: Houses with a Sense of Soul and History, which celebrates homes that feel grounded, authentic, and built to last generations. Tim shares his architectural process, explaining why a home's design must always start with the physical lot it sits on. He discusses the difference between "timeless" and "soulful" architecture, how to balance a client's modern taste with a traditional neighborhood, and why he always takes time to drive around a community to study the local materials before drafting a single plan. Quick Decorating & Architectural Takeaways: Design for the Site First: Before finalizing a design or layout, you must consider the lot. Tim explains that a house should be deeply responsive to its topography and surroundings. He uses the site visit to figure out how to capture the best natural light and views, while strategically positioning the house to block out negative elements like a neighbor's garage or a cell tower. Blend In on the Outside, Be Yourself on the Inside: If your preferred style clashes with a historic neighborhood, find a compromise. Tim shares a story of a client who wanted a highly contemporary home on one of Atlanta's most traditional streets. To respect the neighborhood, Tim designed a classic stone English manor exterior, but kept the interior architecture incredibly clean and modern. Aim for "Soulful" over "Timeless": Tim prefers the term "soulful architecture" over the overused buzzword "timeless". By rooting a house in the right historical proportions, strong details, and authentic regional materials, you create a home that feels lived-in and relevant for decades, rather than just designing for a fleeting trend.

"A side effect patients might experience is lymphedema. This is an increased buildup of lymphatic fluid in the tissues, either in the breast or in the arm and hand of the affected side. It's quite problematic for women. They might feel self-conscious. It might feel uncomfortable that the arm feels like it's throbbing or heavy. Clothing may not fit quite right. So we're always on the lookout for lymphedema," Maria Fenton-Kerimian, APRN, AOCNP®, nurse practitioner at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation site-specific side effects in breast cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "The goals of radiation to the breast are typically broken out into three different rationales. Either adjuvant treatment, where the tumor is removed surgically from the breast first and then radiation is delivered to lower the likelihood of return of the cancer. And then the second way it's given is with a curative intent. That may be for tumors that couldn't be fully resected, and the hope is to eradicate the tumor that is still present in the tissue. Lastly, it can be given in a palliative fashion where you're not expecting to completely cure the person of the cancer, but you hope to shrink the tumor enough to relieve symptoms." TS 1:46 "We really try to focus on patients managing fatigue by ensuring that they're having an appropriate, balanced diet with proper macro and micronutrients and that they're having adequate protein intake. We encourage patients to get adequate sleep. There is a culture of people pushing themselves and working into late hours of the night, and this would be quite difficult if you're experiencing radiation-induced fatigue. If someone is familiar and does regular exercise, we highly encourage them to continue that. If someone has not done much exercise and has slipped into a little bit of deconditioning or they're older or more frail, we might refer them for physical therapy or strength training to rebuild some of that stamina and energy." TS 7:56 "One of the key products to use for prevention of radiation dermatitis are silicone patches, and there are many on the market that are worn during the course of radiation or when the skin reaction begins. And they could stay on for several days during treatment, even if you're gently showering around the area. There are many homeopathic creams made from calendula flower, aloe vera, or some kind of combination of these types of products. The real issue with these products is that many of them aren't covered by insurance, so patients have to buy them out of pocket, over the counter. For some of our patients who are more financially challenged, it may be a problem. So I think [it's important] to be familiar with many different products so that patients have access to something that will minimize their skin reaction." TS 14:48 "After 90 days, it may be more common to see some of the cosmetic changes that can happen in the soft tissue of the breast. One of them is radiation fibrosis, which can be like a diffused scar tissue in the breast. It can sometimes cause hardening, retraction, or asymmetry. Sometimes it can cause a tight feeling where people can't stretch their arm to the full extent. We also know that there can be slower healing if surgery is done. For people that have tissue expanders or still want to have corrective plastic surgery, we really encourage them to wait at least six months or longer before approaching any of those plastic surgery procedures." TS 19:55 "Sexual health is such a big topic, but I think that nurses in radiation oncology are in a very good position to discuss that because we see patients for repeated period of time. So, there's maybe a quicker intimacy or familiarity that happens with the nurses in radiation. Personally, I always bring it up at a follow-up visit, which we do about a month after radiation ends. And it's kind of because the dust is settling and people are getting back to their lives." TS 23:53

Send a textI stumbled upon Patrick Gabridge on the World Wide Web, and he was kind enough to come on to the Playwright's Spotlight after reaching out to him. If there was a playwright who has been in the spotlight who might have a pathway to success, it would be Patrick Gabridge. With a non-traditional approach to writing, Patrick focuses on site-specific plays that are staged in non-traditional stages. Before we delve into this, we speak about marketing and his networking group - Playwright Submission Binge - and how the market has dwindled and changed over the years and how it has affected non-equity theatre. We discuss his development of Plays in Places and its historical accuracy and use of creative license, how it's opened doors to success, the Secret Sauce, and pitching to non-traditional venues. We also breakdown approaching Youth Plays as an older playwright, writing competition plays, what constitutes high drama and whether or not there is a formula. We wrap things up with achieving exposition in a 10-minute play, experiencing poor productions of one's work, advice for finding/developing a writers group, and networking with playwrights. This is a fascinating conversation that should present any playwright with phenomenal opportunities. I'd love to how things transpire if anyone listening takes this path. Enjoy!Patrick Gabridge is a playwright whose work includes Blood on the Snow, Chore Monkeys, Lab Rats, Distant Neighbors, Fire on Earth, Flight, Constant State of Panic, Pieces of Whitey, Blinders, and Reading the Mind of God, which have been staged in theaters across the country. His plays can found in  Playscripts, Brooklyn Publishers, Heuer, Smith & Kraus and various“Best of” anthologies.He assisted is creating Boston's Rhombus Playwrights writers' group, the Chameleon Stage theatre company in Denver, the Bare Bones Theatre company in New York, the publication Market InSight… for Playwrights, and the on-line Playwrights' Submission Binge. He's also a member of the Dramatists Guild,  StageSource, and a board member of the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund.  In 2013, he co-founded the New England New Play Alliance and still serves as its coordinator.To view the video format of this episode, visit the link below - https://youtu.be/wkpI3jR_Or0Links to sites and resources mentioned in this episode -Playwright Marketing Binge - https://groups.io/g/playwrightbingeSeven Devils New Play Foundry - https://www.sevendevils.orgMid America Theatre Conference - https://matc.usThe O'Neill - https://www.theoneill.orgPlays in Place - http://playsinplace.comBrooklyn Publishers - https://www.brookpub.comHeuer Publishing - https://www.hitplays.comSocials for Patrick Gabridge and Plays in Place - FB - https://www.facebook.com/patrickgabridgeIG/Threads - @patrickgabridge YouTube -  ⁨@pgabridge⁩  FB - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558727695681IG/Threads - @plays_in_placeWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's SpoSupport the show

"It's important to clarify that most patients will experience and at least some side effects—and often several. So prevention really means reducing severity, complications, and long-term impact rather than avoiding side effects altogether. This process starts before radiation begins and continues throughout the treatment and includes dental evaluation, baseline swallowing assessments, and thorough patient education," ONS member Astrid Amoresano, RN, OCN®, lead oncology nurse specialist at New York Proton Center in New York, NY, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about side effects of radiation for head and neck cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "Many tumors in the region are very radiosensitive, and radiation can be used either as definitive treatment or after surgery to reduce the risk of reoccurrence, but in many cases, radiation is combined with chemotherapy to improve local control. Because so many vital structures are located in this small complex area, radiation allows us to treat the cancer while minimizing the need for extensive or disfiguring surgery." TS 2:40 "The most common acute side effects of head and neck radiation: effects to the mouth, the throat, the skin, and the energy level. Patients often experience a mucositis, pain or sore throat, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, or thick saliva, and taste changes. Skin irritation and redness in the treatment field is also common and can progress to dry and moist desquamation. Fatigue is another frequent side effect and tends to build as treatment progresses. Emotional and psychological distress are also very common in this patient population and can have an impact on daily function and quality of life. Side effects usually develop gradually, often beginning in the second and third week of radiation and may be more severe or have an earlier onset in patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy." TS 4:02 "Pain management is essential so patients can continue eating and drinking. Supporting the energy level and maintaining hydration are also key, as fatigue and dehydration can significantly worsen other side effects. Oral care protocols help manage mucositis and nutrition support may include supplements or enteral feeding if needed." TS 11:24 "Sexual health might not be the first thing nurses think of in regard to head and neck radiation. … But even though radiation for head and neck cancer doesn't involve the reproductive organs, it can still have a significant impact on sexual health and intimacy. Like fatigue, pain, dry mouth, changes in speech and visible changes in appearance can all affect body image and relationships." TS 14:52 "One of the common misconceptions is that side effects end when radiation ends. In reality, some effects peak afterward or become long term. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, and taste changes are good examples. While some patients improve, others adjust to a new normal where dry mouth and altered taste are permanent." TS 19:53

I don't really produce plays. There are many other organizations that are wonderful at producing plays, and I'm not interested in someone coming in that's completely done and all they're really looking for is financial support. I don't work like that. What most excites me is when I meet with an artist who would love to do a site-specific piece, and in whatever form it might take whether it be outdoors or indoors, in a car, in an elevator, on a roof or wherever it could be. They see a necessity for why En Garde and no one else. Anne Hamburger (she/her) Founded En Garde Arts in 1985.

Kunafa and Shay is a podcast produced for HowlRound Theatre Commons by co-hosts Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson. Kunafa and Shay discusses and analyzes contemporary and historical Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) theatre from across the region. Kunafa and Shay highlights MENA/SWANA plays and theatremakers, spotlights community-engaged work in the region and diaspora, and analyzes the past, present, and future of MENA/SWANA theatre in the United States and beyond. Theatre artists and scholars Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson bring their own perspectives, research, and special guests in order to start a dialogue and encourage further learning and discussion. The name, Kunafa and Shay, invites you into the discussion in the best way we know how: with complex and delicious sweets like kunafa, and perfectly warm tea (or, in Arabic, shay). Kunafa and Shay is a place to share experiences, discuss ideas, and sometimes engage with our differences. In each country in the region, you'll find kunafa made differently. In that way, we also lean into the diversity, complexity, and robust flavors of MENA/SWANA theatre.

An 800-foot-long stone path of words, KAHNOP • TO TELL A STORY is the 22nd public artwork commissioned by the Stuart Collection at UC San Diego. The text for the UC San Diego walkway draws from the writing of authors and scholars with ties to the University and its history. Organized by a spine of keywords composed by Ann Hamilton, this concordance of documents weaves together threads of thinking from many different disciplines. The piece was built line by line, rather than as a singular continuous narrative, and yet clear themes emerge and recur throughout the 1,300-line composition. A feminist narrative transcribed by two Kumeyaay scholars exists in bands situated at a regular interval throughout the entire length of the piece, creating its own cadence and rhythm within the larger whole. These juxtapositions form a field of text and an infinite number of paths to be composed and recomposed every time someone walks its surface.

In 2020, this community-based cancer program started laying the foundation for a disease-site specific oncology patient navigation program that would grow exponentially over the next 2 years. In addition to a rapidly growing patient caseload, nurse navigator responsibilities grew extensively, largely due to increasing physician and system support of the program and role. To date, this 3-person oncology nurse navigator team has received over 2100 referrals from more than 259 providers.  Guest: Stephanie Bonfilio, MSN, RN, OCN, ONN-CG Oncology Navigation Manager St. Elizabeth Cancer Care   “Patient experience is such a huge part of what we do in cancer care. We survey our patients who are actively being navigated to see if the care we are providing is of value to them…over 94% of our patients said that having a nurse navigator on their care team increased their overall experience.”   Read more in “Developing a Disease-Site Specific Oncology Patient Navigation Program” in Volume 38, Number 5, Oncology Issues.   Resources: ·       Population Health Navigators: An Innovative Approach for Supporting Underserved Patients ·       Increasing Clinical Trial Accrual Through the Implementation of a Clinical Trials Navigator ·       The Oncology Pharmacy Navigator ·       Developing an Acuity Tool to Optimize Nurse Navigation Caseloads

Fall is a great time of year to look ahead to next season's crop fertility needs.

One of the things you can do when you are able to express soil water content as a depth of water, and vice versa, is to express the water loss rate from the soil divided by the reference evapotranspiration. Now you've got a rough estimate of a site specific crop coefficient.I explained how to do that in this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/hourly-evapotranspiration-soil-water-content-and-crop-coefficient/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Get ATC newsletters at https://subscribepage.com/atc_newslettersTurfgrass information and decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/PACE Turf YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/paceturfATC's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/asianturfgrasscenterListen to the ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods podcast at https://doublecut.asianturfgrass.com/Listen to the ATC Office Hours podcast at https://office-hours.asianturfgrass.com/

You're probably reading the title of this episode and thinking “site-specific choreography? Aren't most screendances site-specific?” You are certainly right, listener! You must be a screendance fan!As you know, site-specific episodes have been a recurring topic on the show. As we've segmented the dropped pins over the years, we've built an understanding of what the director may be conveying through movement within the landscape. The camera allows dance audiences to go on a journey that they may not be able explore on a live proscenium stage. The beauty of these films is that they push the boundaries of what these spaces can do. Art is experimentation and experimentation allows curiosity to run wild, and yet make all sense with it in the end.In this episode, we'll be picking apart the art of creating a site-specific dance film including many questions going from the very start of location scouting– Why do you want to create a film in/on/around this location? What is the significance of this space? What can you create in this space and what are your limitations? How do you want viewers to see and understand this environment? Along with all of that, we drop some useful advice that may help future makers well prepared for their next big film shoot.

In this podcast, Frank Davis, John Surma, and David Walston, members of Ogletree's Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, discuss the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Site-Specific Targeting (SST) program whereby the agency randomly selects employers for “wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling” inspections without identifying an accident or hazard. The speakers review data indicating that OSHA inspections, citations, and penalties are on the rise, and offer insights into the reasons for the increase, particularly in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

Site-specific performances have the possibility to truly make all the world a stage. To produce site-specific and devised theatre performances in the United States and abroad, artists must engage with the questions of the politics of any space, what communities inhabit or use it, and who is invited into it. Sahar Assaf, a Lebanese theatremaker and the new artistic director of Golden Thread Productions, and Zeina Daccache, an actor, director, and the founder of Catharsis: Lebanese Center for Drama Therapy come together to talk about site-specific and devised theatre pieces in Lebanon, the rest of the MENA world, and the United States.
