If central banks are to be believed, some form of normalcy is expected next year, at least on the inflation front. After historic highs, the consumer price index should return to more common increases, say experts from the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), who were counting in their September forecasts on 2.8% in 2023 and 2.3% in 2024.

Center for Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy of Formosa already treats 100 cancer patients
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The Néstor Kirchner Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy Center (Cemenurnk) in Formosa, which began operating this year, already cares for a hundred cancer patients and will be formally inaugurated on December 15 by President Alberto Fernández and Governor Gildo Insfrán, reported to Télam official sources.
This week, the Center for cancer treatment with radiotherapy, where 95% of the doctors, physicists, professionals and workers who carry out their tasks there are from Formosa, received patient number 100.
Since it was put into operation, cancer patients no longer have to travel to other provinces for treatment.
The interdisciplinary team that attends the place uses the most advanced technology in the country in the sector and incorporates in its service both diagnosis and intervention on tumor conditions as well as care for psychological well-being and quality of life.
The manager of the center, Martín Mutuberría, expressed that “it is a pride for the province to have this establishment, which has state-of-the-art technology for universal access to cancer treatments and which accredits 95% of the staff in its professional and technical staff. of origin from Formosa”.
The formal inauguration of Cemenurnk will take place on December 15, at 7:00 p.m., with a ceremony attended by President Fernández and Governor Insfrán.
The building has, on the one hand, two linear accelerators whose function is to achieve a high-precision and high-speed radiation beam, resulting in fewer sessions and the protection of the healthy organs closest to the tumor.
On the other hand, it has a high-rate brachytherapy service, a modality that is commonly applied in gynecological, urological and mammary tumors. Its development allows higher doses to be applied in a few minutes on the tumor, shortening the terms and sessions for greater comfort of the affected people.
In addition, the center offers a display of professionals attentive to the human dimension and the sensitivities of both patients and their families as well as the doctors and physicists themselves.
In this sense, an office of psychologists develops group dynamics for those who wish to do so while they receive their treatment, seeking that the patients accompany each other and establish affective ties that allow them to strengthen themselves emotionally in the face of the situation they are going through, they indicated.
It was created by the Ministry of Federal Planning, within the framework of the “Territorial Strategic Plan for Productive Development 2003-2015”, through the National Atomic Energy Commission (Conea) and in agreement with the province of Formosa.
Cemenurnk guarantees the inhabitants of the region universal access to the highest quality nuclear medicine applications for the prevention, control and treatment of oncological diseases, both for patients without medical coverage or economic resources and for patients derived from social works and prepaid medicine.
