About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Taking Prostate Cancer Research Forward

By: 3BL Media

Scientists at Merck are committed to research and development for people diagnosed with prostate cancer

SOURCE: Merck & Co., Inc.

DESCRIPTION:

Almost everyone knows somebody living with prostate cancer.

But the people we know are not just a statistic or a number. They are our partners, parents, children, siblings and friends. They are our loved ones fighting to hang on to their dreams for the future. And that’s who we’re fighting for too — aggressively building our prostate cancer research program day in and day out to help advance new options for patients who need them.

“As with any cancer, there’s a wide spectrum of clinical settings in prostate cancer and outcomes can vary between those with early versus later stage disease,” says Dr. Peter Kang, vice president, clinical oncology research. “Patients with advanced prostate cancer face a poorer prognosis and have limited options, which is what drives us to do more for them.”

How common is prostate cancer?

About 1 out of 8 people assigned male at birth will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. It is more likely to develop in people who are 65 or older, as well as among those with African ancestry or a family history of the disease. Prostate cancer can also be genetic. Several inherited genetic mutations — such as those of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes — can increase prostate cancer risk.

“Having first-hand clinical experiences with patients with prostate cancer has provided me with deep insights and inspiration that I regularly integrate into our overall approach to prostate cancer research,” explains Dr. Kang. “For me, those clinical experiences help to provide a fuller picture of patient needs – an invaluable perspective.”

What is the prognosis for prostate cancer?

For those patients who are diagnosed before their cancer has spread outside the prostate, the prognosis is promising with a five-year survival rate of nearly 100%. But for those patients diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or is resistant to medical or surgical treatments to lower testosterone, the outcomes can be dramatically different and the five-year survival rate remains low.

What Merck is doing to advance prostate cancer research

Merck’s prostate cancer research program, in collaboration with academia and other partners, is one of the most comprehensive, science-forward programs in the industry,” says Dr. Kang.

“We're working with a true sense of urgency because prostate cancer affects many patients and their loved ones, and they simply don't have time to wait.”

Our science, coupled with new insights of the disease, continues to guide us — constantly evolving to inform clinical advancements.

“We are certainly smarter today in understanding the unique biology of prostate cancer,” explains Dr. Kang. “I am most encouraged by the fact that we now have more prostate cancer-specific treatments designed based on the biology of prostate cancer.”

And since the next breakthrough can come from anywhere and anyone, we regularly collaborate across the entire prostate cancer community, working with health care providers, academia and advocates to gain deeper insights and make progress for patients.

“We recognize that the fight against prostate cancer is a marathon, and to endure we must constantly evolve our strategies,” explains Dr. Kang. “As scientific leaders focused on changing the course of cancer forever, we must continue to ask big and bold questions, ultimately bringing us closer to our goal — a world where cancer isn’t just treated, but cured.”
