WHAT IS V.O.D?
Video on Demand is the term used for the system by which content providers allow their users to request visual and/or audio content and serve that content to their users, in contrast to programming that is established in advance which the user cannot control. VOD can also be referred to as AVOD (Audio Video on Demand).
Video on demand (VOD) is a method of showcasing streaming videos. Streaming videos are viewed as they are being delivered, similarly to radio and television. With VOD, the video is derived from a main server or network and viewed on a television or computer screen. VOD allows the user to order digitally transmitted movies, as well as to view training videos from the comfort of home. In addition, VOD can be used with videoconferencing, because videoconferencing usually consists of enhanced presentations featuring video clips. VOD can also be used to send and view video clips on mobile phones and other wireless gadgets. With VOD, one can easily stream content by viewing the video as it is being downloaded. At the same time, the user can choose to wait to view the video until after it has been completely downloaded. Like a VCR or DVD player, VOD offers a number of options after the video has been downloaded. For example, the user can choose to pause, play, fast forward, or rewind the vide

V.O.D. (a.k.a. veno-occlusive disease of the liver) is a toxic reaction which sometimes can happen after high dose chemotherapy (not necessarily after BMT). The clinical picture is one of liver enlargement and tenderness, jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes) and weight gain (from the accumulation of fluids in body cavities – mostly the abdominal cavity – which we call ascites). The cause of the reaction is not completely understood, but is strongly related to some chemotherapeutic agents when used in high doses (e.g. Ara-C). What happens is that the small vessels that traverse the liver get clogged by thrombi, raising the pressure of the venous circulation in a retrograde fashion. In this way, every vein that drains its blood into the hepatic circulation (the portal system) becomes overloaded with blood. The rise in venous pressure causes the leakage of fluids into the abdomen and may cause enlargement of the spleen (an organ which empties its blood into the
