Computerized cognitive training in post-treatment hematological cancer survivors: a feasibility study.

BackgroundComputerized cognitive training (CCT) programs have shown some effectiveness in alleviating cognitive symptoms in long-term cancer survivors. For patients presenting with cognitive symptoms in the early post-treatment phase, the benefit of CCT is unclear. To assess the possibility of testing the effectiveness of CCT in the early post-treatment period, our aim was to investigate the feasibility of an 8-week home-based, online CCT intervention among patients who have recently completed treatment for hematological malignancy.MethodsThis study was a single-arm, non-blinded, feasibility s

A narrative review on trazodone as a multimodal and multifunctional antidepressant: clinical relevance of formulations, dosing, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets.

BackgroundTrazodone, an antidepressant, has only been approved for use in major depressive disorder (MDD), but has demonstrated potent therapeutic potential in various conditions, such as insomnia and anxiety. It targets multiple serotonergic, adrenergic, and histaminergic receptors. Given this multimodal and multifunctional profile, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of trazodone and its clinical applications across various conditions.Main textTrazodone demonstrates sedative and anxiolytic effects even at a low dose (25-75 mg) an

Cancer cachexia--pathophysiology and management.

About half of all cancer patients show a syndrome of cachexia, characterized by anorexia and loss of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mass. Cachexia can have a profound impact on quality of life, symptom burden, and a patient's sense of dignity. It is a very serious complication, as weight loss during cancer treatment is associated with more chemotherapy-related side effects, fewer completed cycles of chemotherapy, and decreased survival rates. Numerous cytokines have been postulated to play a role in the etiology of cancer cachexia. Cytokines can elicit effects that mimic leptin signaling a

Investigation and management of osteoporosis in aged trauma patients: a treatment algorithm adapted to the German guidelines for osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis-associated fractures are of increasing importance in trauma surgery. Systematic diagnostics and treatment of osteoporosis during a hospital stay, however, remain inadequate. Therefore, a specific algorithm for diagnosing and treating osteoporosis in trauma surgery patients was developed based on the DVO (German Osteology Society) guideline for osteoporosis from 2014. METHODS: In a first step, the individuals' age and risk profile for osteoporosis is identified considering specific fractures indicating osteoporosis and risk factors assessed by a specific questionnaire.

Clinical pharmacology of chemotherapy agents in older people with cancer.

Populations around the world are aging, and the associated increase in cancer incidence has led to the recognition of the importance of geriatric oncology. Chronological age is a poor determinant of pharmacological response to cancer chemotherapy agents. Age-associated changes in physiology and organ function have a significant impact on the clinical pharmacology of cancer chemotherapy agents used in cancer treatment. Altered response to medicines in older people is a consequence of changes in body composition, organ function, concomitant pathophysiology, multiple medications, genetic determin

Prescription and use of psychoactive medications among cancer patients and associated factors in lower and upper middle-income countries: systematic review.

Frailty Prevalence and Characteristics in Older Adults with Hematologic Cancer: a Descriptive Study.

ObjectiveThis study investigated the prevalence of frailty in older patients with hematologic cancer and assessed the association between older patients' characteristics and frailty.MethodsThis descriptive study enrolled 90 older patients undergoing treatment for hematological malignancies at an oncology hospital. Frailty was assessed with the Edmonton Frailty Scale as not frail (0-4), apparently vulnerable (5-6), mildly frail (7-8), moderately frail (9-10), and severely frail (11-17). The association of frailty and older patient characteristics and diagnosis was assessed by logistic regressio

Adverse drug reaction profile of microtubule-damaging antineoplastic drugs: A focused pharmacovigilance study in India.

ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to analyze the adverse drug reaction (ADR) profile of microtubule-damaging antineoplastic drugs (taxanes and vinca alkaloids) and to look for unexpected ADRs among the local population. Focused study on these drugs, rampantly used in oncology department for a wide variety of tumors including early and advanced malignancies, would enable better treatment care by physicians.Materials and methodsData on ADRs were collected from the cancer patients belonging to both gender and of all ages, on taxanes- or vinca-based cancer chemotherapy and reported in the Indian

Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide not meeting due care criteria in the Netherlands: a qualitative review of review committee judgements.

UNLABELLED: ObjectivesTo assess how Dutch regional euthanasia review committees (RTE) apply the euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (EAS) due care criteria in cases where the criteria are judged not to have been met ('due care not met' (DCNM)) and to evaluate how the criteria function to set limits in Dutch EAS practice. DESIGN: A qualitative review using directed content analysis of DCNM cases in the Netherlands from 2012 to 2016 published on the RTE website (https://www.euthanasiecommissie.nl/) as of 31 January 2017.

Disease-specific health spending by age, sex, and type of care in Norway: a national health registry study.

BACKGROUND: Norway is a high-income nation with universal tax-financed health care and among the highest per person health spending in the world. This study estimates Norwegian health expenditures by health condition, age, and sex, and compares it with disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). METHODS: Government budgets, reimbursement databases, patient registries, and prescription databases were combined to estimate spending for 144 health conditions, 38 age and sex groups, and eight types of care (GPs; physiotherapists & chiropractors; specialized outpatient; day patient; inpatient; prescrip

Approach to the Patient With Bone Fracture: Making the First Fracture the Last.

The global burden of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures will increase significantly as we enter a rapidly aging population. Osteoporotic fractures lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and risk of subsequent fractures if left untreated. However, studies have shown that the majority of patients who suffer an osteoporotic fracture are not investigated or treated for osteoporosis, leading to an inexcusable "osteoporosis care gap." Systematic and coordinated models of care in secondary fracture prevention known as fracture liaison services (FLS) have been established to streamline and impro

Establishing a rural and remote apheresis service in Western New South Wales: the Orange Hospital experience.

Traditionally, patients requiring therapeutic apheresis from rural and remote areas have been compelled to seek treatment at metropolitan hospitals, at great social and economic cost to the patient and the health service, or to receive in-patient apheresis in local intensive care units using renal replacement therapy machines. We outline our experience establishing an apheresis service in Western New South Wales. Our experience demonstrates that a clinically and economically viable apheresis service in the rural setting can be established.
