For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Explain what happens in cancer screening:
Patient selection for screening programs is based on age and risk factors to avoid excessive false positive studies.
Examples of screening methods are...
- HPV test
- mammography screening for breast cancer for women 50-59 yrs
How to treat cancer?
- surgery
- radiotherapy
- systemic therapy (chemo, hormona, targeted biological therapies)
Goals of treatment are...
- cure the cancer
- prolong life
- improve quality of life
What is palliative care?
Needed in places with a high proportion of patients in advanced stages of cancer, where there is little chance of cure.
Anatomy of breast? 2 types of breast cancer:
- non-invasive breast cancer
- carcinoma in situ
- earliest and most treatable
- doesn't spread beyond basement membrane wall
- invasive breast cancer
- spread beyond basement membrane wall
- can spread to nearby lymph nodes
Ductal vs lobular carcinoma
carcinoma in situ is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer, while invasive (a.k.a.
infiltrating) ductal carcinoma is the most common cause of breast cancer. Lobular carcinoma in situ and invasive (a.k.a. infiltrating) lobular carcinoma are also possible, but both are less common than
their respective counterparts.
Symptoms of breast cancer are...
- Hard as opposed to firm or rubbery masses
- Painless lumps. Benign lumps are often painful instead
- fixed and immobile lumps. Benign tumors are usually easily moved about
- Bloody discharge from the nipple from one side. Benign masses have no bloody discharge and if they do, it is more green/yellow
- margins of the mass are irregular. Non-cancerous lumps have smooth borders
- dimpling of skin, changes in skin color, inverted nipple
Risk factors for colon cancer:
90% of cases occur after age 50, which number 1 risk factor. Also family history plays a huge part. And: inflammatory bowel disease, smoking, man, diets high is red meat and low in fiber, drinking alcohol.
How to diagnose and treat colon cancer?
- colonoscopy with biopsy
- blood tests
- CT scan, PET scan, MRI
- Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) tests are ussed for mass screening
- tumours are stages using TNM-staging (T=size, N=involvement lymph nodes, M=metastasis)
- surgical excision
- chemo
- radiation therapy
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
