Слежка за глазами для оценки легкого когнитивного расстройства: систематический обзор.

Легкое когнитивное расстройство (MCI), представляющее собой «переходную зону» между нормальным когнитивом и слабоумием, стало новой темой в клинических исследованиях. Хотя раннее обнаружение имеет решающее значение, в то же время оно по-прежнему сопряжено с материально-техническими трудностями. В то время как традиционные тесты с использованием перчаток и бумаги требуют углубленной подготовки для обеспечения стандартного управления и точного толкования результатов, значительные технологические достижения ведут к разработке процедур раннего обнаружения болезни Альцгеймера (АЗ) и облегчают диагн

BackgroundTo explore the prognostic value of cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3), Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.MethodsThe data of 100 patients with breast cancer who received chemotherapy in a hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected. Patients were divided into control and test groups based on different intervention methods and hospital stays. The control group receives routine nursing interventions. The test group implements exercise intervention under planned behaviour planning, with 50 cases in each

Лиминальное пространство между надеждой и горем: феномен неопределенности, испытываемый людьми, живущими с повторно излучающим множественный склероз.

СТРУКТУРА: Люди с хроническим заболеванием, страдающие множественным склерозом, подвергаются различной степени глубокой неопределенности. Неопределенность связана с неблагоприятными психологическими последствиями, такими, как чувство повышенной уязвимости, уклонение от принятия решений, страх, беспокойство, тревожное расстройство и даже депрессия. Исследования в области множественного склероза сосредоточены главным образом на научных, практических и психосоциальных вопросах неопределенности. Для сравнения, экзистенциальная неопределенность была недостаточно изучена, даже несмотря на то, что он

Effects of a Cognitive Behavioral Digital Therapeutic on Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Patients With Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The health and economic impact and cost effectiveness of interventions for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Kenya: a stakeholder engaged modelling study.

BackgroundThe global increase in mean body mass index has resulted in a substantial increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including in many low- and middle-income countries such as Kenya. This paper assesses four interventions for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Kenya to determine their potential health and economic impact and cost effectiveness.MethodsWe reviewed the literature to identify evidence of effect, determine the intervention costs, disease costs and total healthcare costs. We used a proportional multistate life table model to quantify the potential i

Evaluation of controlled vocabulary resources for development of a consumer entry vocabulary for diabetes.

BackgroundDigital information technology can facilitate informed decision making by individuals regarding their personal health care. The digital divide separates those who do and those who do not have access to or otherwise make use of digital information. To close the digital divide, health care communications research must address a fundamental issue, the consumer vocabulary problem: consumers of health care, at least those who are laypersons, are not always familiar with the professional vocabulary and concepts used by providers of health care and by providers of health care information, a

Integrating Academic and Community Cancer Care and Research through Multidisciplinary Oncology Pathways for Value-Based Care: A Review and the City of Hope Experience.

As the US transitions from volume- to value-based cancer care, many cancer centers and community groups have joined to share resources to deliver measurable, high-quality cancer care and clinical research with the associated high patient satisfaction, provider satisfaction, and practice health at optimal costs that are the hallmarks of value-based care. Multidisciplinary oncology care pathways are essential components of value-based care and their payment metrics. Oncology pathways are evidence-based, standardized but personalizable care plans to guide cancer care. Pathways have been developed

Cancer status in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: types; incidence; mortality; sex, age, and geography distribution; and possible causes.

Cancer is a disease in which some cells of the body grow uncontrollably and occasionally spread to other parts of the body. With a group of more than 100 different types, cancer can start almost anywhere in the body. Defective cells may form a mass called a tumor which can be cancerous (malignant), which grows and spreads to other parts of the body, or benign that can grow but not spread throughout the body. In 2021, more than 10 million people died of cancer worldwide (1 out of 6 deaths). This paper has thoroughly investigated the cancer status in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), i

Проект для самостоятельной мотивации: Качественное собеседование по вопросам предприимчивости выживших жертв рака к программам изменения цифрового здоровья.

СПРАВОЧНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ: Несмотря на повышенный риск рецидива, связанный с изменением образа жизни, многие лица, пережившие рак, не соблюдают рекомендации по укреплению здоровья. Цифровое медико-санитарное вмешательство открывает перспективы для поддержки изменений в поведении, однако лишь немногие исследования предусматривают участие выживших жертв в разработке мер вмешательства, что потенциально ограничивает эффективность реального мира. Понимание предпочтений и потребностей в поддержке выживших жертв рака имеет решающее значение для разработки эффективных мер по изменению поведения в цифровой

Primary Care Considerations for Elderly U.S. Veterans of World War II and the Korean War: A Narrative Review.

Many of the United States' more than 18 million veterans obtain healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Veterans Health Administration system; however, recent legislative changes have expanded veterans' access to non-VA care in their communities, particularly for those who do not live near VA medical centers. Veterans are seen by physicians in outpatient practice across the United States and are admitted to non-VA hospitals; this is particularly salient for older veterans, who may require a more frequent and high level of care. We present a review of characteristics of U.S.

Obesity Pillars roundtable: Excessive weight reduction with highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOMs).

BackgroundHistorically, many anti-obesity medications (AOMs) were withdrawn from development and/or the market due to safety concerns. Another challenge was that, with some exceptions, most of these AOMs had limited weight reducing efficacy. Approved AOMs often did not meet the weight reduction expectations of either clinicians, or their patients. Currently, newer approved and investigational AOMs achieve greater weight reduction than older AOMs. This has prompted an emerging new challenge of "too much weight loss" with some of these highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOM) - somethin

Forkhead box F2 as a novel prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in human cancers prone to bone metastasis: a meta-analysis.

ObjectiveTo undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of Forkhead box F2 (FOXF2) levels in different types of cancers prone to bone metastasis.MethodsA systematic search of publications listed in electronic databases (The Web of Science, EMBASE®, PubMed®, PMC, Science Direct and CNKI) from inception to 5 November 2020 was conducted. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the relationship between FOXF2 levels and patient prognosis including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsSixteen stud

Methods for measuring financial toxicity after cancer diagnosis and treatment: a systematic review and its implications.

Patients experiencing financial distress as a side-effect of cancer are not only reported in the United States, but also in third-party payer healthcare systems in Europe. Since validated survey instruments are a prerequisite for robust and comparable results, we aimed to compile and classify available instruments to enable both a better understanding of the underlying construct of financial toxicity and to facilitate further studies that are adjustable to various healthcare systems. We did a systematic literature search on studies that provide data on perceived cancer-related financial distre

Everyday life following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: decline in physical symptoms within the first month and change-related predictors.

PURPOSE: Lower quality of life, especially in the physical domain (Physical-QOL), is common in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, few studies explore changes in the Physical-QOL, i.e., physical symptoms, in everyday life of patients following HSCT. The present study addresses this gap by examining patient daily physical symptoms and their predictors in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. METHODS: Physical symptoms were reported by 188 patients (56.9% men; aged 47.6 ± 13.4 years) for 28 consecutive days after post-HSCT hospital discharge. Mul

Advancing patient-centered cancer care: a systematic review of electronic patient-reported outcome measures.

BackgroundElectronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (ePROMs) have emerged as valuable tools in cancer care, facilitating the comprehensive assessment of patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being. This study synthesizes literature on the utilization of ePROMs in oncology, highlighting the diverse array of measurement instruments and questionnaires employed in cancer patient assessments. By comprehensively analyzing existing research, this study provides insights into the landscape of ePROMs, informs future research directions, and aims to optimize patient-centred oncology care
