[Post-traumatic psychosis: the contribution of an acute post-immediate trauma to a dynamic theorization].

SUMMARY: In his recent publication (2004), in which he favors the psycho-dynamic approach, M. Bertrand underlines the importance of traumatic matter at the heart of new clinical, methodological and epistemological challenges of psychopathology. TRAUMATIC PSYCHOSIS CONCEPT: Our contribution ("post-traumatic psychosis") comes within that prospect in reference to the semiology of traumas generated by extreme situations, such as the tsunami in South Asia (December 2004), the terrorist attacks in Madrid (March 2004) or the hostage taking in North Ossetia (September 2004). Four principle sets of th

Cancer survivorship at heart: a multidisciplinary cardio-oncology roadmap for healthcare professionals.

In cancer, a patient is considered a survivor from the time of initial diagnosis until the end of life. With improvements in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of cancer survivors (CS) has grown considerably and includes: (1) Patients cured and free from cancer who may be at risk of late-onset cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT); (2) Patients with long-term control of not-curable cancers in whom CTR-CVT may need to be addressed. This paper highlights the importance of the cancer care continuum, of a patient-centered approach and of a prevention-oriented policy. The

A Glimpse into the Epidemiology of Geriatric Cancers in India: Report from the Indian Population Based Cancer Registries.

IntroductionIndian population is aging and the cancer rates are rising. Older adults (OAs)(≥60 years) with cancer require specialized care. However, data on geriatric cancer epidemiology is scarce.MethodsThe study compiled the geriatric cancer data from the published reports(2012-2014) of Indian population-based cancer registries(PBCRs).ResultsOf the 1,61,363 cancers registered in the Indian PBCRs, 72,446(44.9%) occur in OAs, with 21,805(30.1%), 18,349(25.3%), 14,645(20.2%), and 17,647(24.4%) occurring in 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and ≥75year age groups. The truncated incidence rates for OAs are 55

New spatial records of vascular plants in the Azores Archipelago: the PRIBES project and the Azorean Biodiversity Portal (ABP) initiatives - I. São Jorge Island (Azores).

BACKGROUND: The Azores Archipelago is known for its important natural heritage, yet its ecosystems face a "green tsunami" in the form of numerous exotic and invasive species. This influx has wrought serious biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystem services, representing one of the greatest threats to conservation across the islands. Originating from accelerated global trade and travel, these invasions impact human activities, public health and economic sectors alike. The PRIBES project intends to contribute to "The Regional Strategy for the Management of Terrestrial and Freshwater Exotic

Future Patient Incidence in Hemato-Oncology: A Study Using Data from Cancer Registries in Japan.

PurposeThe distribution of patients with hematological malignancies is expected to change markedly in the future due to aging of the Japanese population. We assessed the expected incidence rates of leukemia, malignant lymphoma, and multiple myeloma using national population estimates and data from the Kanagawa Cancer Registry.Patients and methodsTo evaluate the effects of community aging, we compared expected future incidences of hematological malignancies in Kanagawa with other three areas, namely the Yamagata, Osaka, and Nagasaki prefectures, which have different populations and predicted ag

Elastoplasty as a promising novel technique: Vertebral augmentation with an elastic silicone-based polymer.

OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous vertebroplasty with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) restores the stiffness and the strength of fractured vertebral bodies, but changes the pattern of the stress transfer. This effect may cause a secondary fracture of the adjacent vertebrae. Elastoplasty has emerged as a new technique to overcome this complication. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the clinical results of the elastoplasty procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirthy nine patients (9 males, 30 females, 87 spinal levels) were clinically evaluated pre and postoperatively in terms of pain reli

Half a century of healing: celebrating the 50th anniversary of EBMT.

EBMT is a non-profit organization with a clear mission: "to save the lives of patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases by advancing the fields of blood and marrow transplantation and cell therapy worldwide through science, education and advocacy". In 1974, EBMT was established by European physicians in St. Moritz to share bone marrow transplantation (BMT) experiences and foster collaboration. Founding members included Jon Van Rood, Bruno Speck, and Eliane Gluckman. By 1989, the group expanded significantly, emphasizing mutual trust and collaboration. EBMT played a crucia

Building a comprehensive cancer survivorship program.

There is a significant increase in the number of people surviving cancer as a result of improved detection and better treatments. In the United States (US) alone, these numbers are estimated to reach 20 million by 2026 [Miller et al (2016) CA Cancer J Clin 66(4) 271-289)]; [Bluethmann et al (2016) Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 25(7) 1029-1036]. Living through cancer treatment represents a life-changing event, often including residual and long-term emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual sequelae. Survivorship programming must encompass the clinical management of medical issues, loc

From actinic keratosis to squamous cell carcinoma.

Chronic stress-responsive signaling has emerged as a modifiable dimension of cancer biology by linking systemic neuroendocrine activation to tumor-cell adaptation, metabolic rewiring, immune suppression, tumor microenvironment remodeling, metastatic dissemination, and therapeutic resistance. Persistent activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis elevates catecholamines and glucocorticoids, which act through adrenergic receptors and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in tumor, stromal, vascular, and immune compartments. These canonical path

The Unmet Needs of Pancreatic Cancer Carers Are Associated with Anxiety and Depression in Patients and Carers.

Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates, and patients experience debilitating symptoms. Family carers provide essential daily care. This study determined the prevalence of and risk factors for unmet supportive care needs among carers for pancreatic cancer patients and examined which carer needs were associated with anxiety and depression in carers and patients. Eighty-four pancreatic cancer patients and their carers were recruited. The carers completed a needs survey (SCNS-P&C). Both carers and patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Log binomial regression

Narrative review of the epidemiology, economic burden, and societal impact of metastatic bone disease.

As the prevalence of cancer continues to rise in the United States due to a combination of both early detection and increased life expectancy, the number of clinically symptomatic skeletal metastases will continue to grow. Healthcare expenditures on cancer treatment have steadily increased each decade to our estimated level of approximately $200 billion in 2020. Metastatic bone disease is a significant driver of this cost, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the total cost of oncologic treatment. Understanding the impact of metastatic bone disease can help to identify the gaps between diagnosis

Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients from Southern Sri Lanka: An Echocardiographic Analysis.

Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has never been investigated in Sri Lanka. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients using echocardiographic findings. A prospective cohort study was performed. All newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who were administered with anthracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC schedule) for the first time were enrolled in the study. In the hospital setting, anthracycline is administered only as a combination therapy, and only this combination was selected to limit the effect of o

Prevalence of Cancer Survivors in 2019 Among Patients Diagnosed Between 1975 and 2019: A Population-Based Study in Japan.

Owing to improved prognosis, cancer survivors are a growing population; however, little is known about their prevalence in Asian countries. This study estimated the prevalence and characteristics of cancer survivors in Japan, including long-term survivors. Using data from the Osaka Cancer Registry, which covers 8.8 million residents in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, we identified individuals diagnosed with cancer between 1975 and 2019 who were alive in 2019. Cancer prevalence was calculated as the number of patients alive in 2019, stratified by sex, age in 2019, time since diagnosis, and 22 cancer t

Impact of Real-World Outpatient Cancer Rehabilitation Services on Health-Related Quality of Life of Cancer Survivors across 12 Diagnosis Types in the United States.

Compared to adults without cancer, cancer survivors report poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL), which is associated with negative treatment outcomes and increased healthcare use. Cancer-specialized physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT) could optimize HRQOL; however, the impact among survivors with non-breast malignancies is unknown. This retrospective (2020-2022), observational, study of medical record data of 12 cancer types, examined pre/post-HRQOL among cancer survivors who completed PT/OT. PROMIS® HRQOL measures: Global Health (physical [GPH] and mental [GMH]), Physical Funct
