Expected benefits and concerns regarding virtual reality in caring for terminally ill cancer patients - a qualitative interview study.

BackgroundMany palliative cancer patients require inpatient hospital treatment for medical reasons, which contrasts their frequent desire to be at home. Virtual reality (VR) could be a way of bringing the home environment closer to them. First observations have shown benefits from VR for inpatients in palliative care. The aim of this qualitative, descriptive study was to explore the expectations of in-patients suffering from incurable cancer and their relatives about VR, in particular individualized VR images of the patients' own home.MethodsSemi-structured interviews with inpatients suffering

Using virtual reality hypnosis during stem cell transplant for patients in hematology: A protocol for a feasibility randomized study.

BackgroundStem cell transplantation is a highly stressful treatment for hematological cancer patients, negatively impacting their quality of life. Hypnosis has proven effective in managing symptoms like pain, fatigue, and anxiety, and improving quality of life. Virtual reality (VR) is used in cancer treatments to distract from pain, and combining VR with hypnosis (VRH) could enhance the hypnotic experience. However, methodological limitations in current studies prevent clear evaluation of its effectiveness, particularly for individualized care and psychosocial interventions.Aims1) To evaluate

Качество жизни, связанное со здоровьем, с даратумумабом, бортезомибом, мелфаланом и преднизоном против борцезомиба, мелфаланом и преднизоном, только у пациентов, имеющих право на трансплантацию, с недавно поставленным диагнозом множественной миеломы: анализ фазы 3 Исследование OCTANS.

В фазы 3 Исследование OCTANS, Daratumumab плюс bortezomib/melphalan/prednison (D-VMP) значительно улучшило показатели ответов и без прогрессии выживаемости по сравнению с одним только VMP пациентами азиатского происхождения, имеющими право на трансплантацию, с недавно поставленным диагнозом множественной миеломы (НДММ).

[Study of the categorization process among patients with eating disorders: a new cognitive approach to psychopathology].

Anorexic and bulimic patients have a highly distorted relationship with food and eating, even though they tend to be knowledgeable about diet and nutrition. The progress of this disease, as well as its complications and associated difficulties, are increasingly understood, while the etiopathogeny of eating disorders remains obscure. The approach that we are proposing involves the study of one of the most fundamental cognitive functions of human reasoning--the cognitive process of categorization. The purpose of this study is to understand the procedures used by these patients to construct repre

Scrambler therapy for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: A case report.

BackgroundChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and debilitating side effect of cancer treatment, significantly affecting patients' quality of life.
