Review of the Current Knowledge on the Role of Stem Cell Transplantation in Neurorehabilitation.

The management involving stem cell (SC) therapy along with physiotherapy offers tremendous chance for patients after spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, etc. However, there are still only a limited number of reports assessing the impact of stem cells (SCs) on the rehabilitation process and/or the results of the simultaneous use of SC and rehabilitation. Additionally, since there is still not enough convincing evidence about the effect of SCT on humans, e.g., in stroke, there have been no studies conducted concerning rehabilitation program formation and expected outc

A Patient-Specific Fracture Risk Assessment Tool for Femoral Bone Metastases: Using the Bone Strength (BOS) Score in Clinical Practice.

Patients with femoral metastases are at risk of fracturing bones. It is important to prevent fractures in order to maintain mobility and quality of life. The BOne Strength (BOS) score is based on a computed tomography (CT)-based patient-specific finite element (FE) computer model that objectively calculates bone strength. In this pilot study, the added clinical value of the BOS score towards treatment-related decision making was assessed. In December 2019, the BOS score was implemented in four radiotherapy centers. The BOS scores and fracture risks of individual patients were calculated and re

Advances in nanotechnology-enabled adjuvants for peptide-based cancer vaccines.

Peptide-based vaccines only contain peptide epitopes and exclude unnecessary biological materials, which greatly reduces the risk of causing an undesired immune response and further improves the safety profile, garnering considerable interest in vaccine development. However, the immunogenicity induced by these peptides alone is not potent enough to elicit an effective immune response. Recently, combining the adjuvants with peptide antigens has shown promising effects to realize a satisfying immune response. In this review, we discuss the development of immunoadjuvants to enhance the safety and

The contributions of family care-givers at end of life: A national post-bereavement census survey of cancer carers' hours of care and expenditures.

BackgroundFamily members provide vital care at end of life, enabling patients to remain at home. Such informal care contributes significantly to the economy while supporting patients' preferences and government policy. However, the value of care-givers' contributions is often underestimated or overlooked in evaluations. Without information on the activities and expenditures involved in informal care-giving, it is impossible to provide an accurate assessment of carers' contribution to end-of-life care.AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the contributions and expenditure of informal, fam

The effect of patient-centered empowerment program through telenursing on self-management in people with multiple sclerosis: a double-blinded randomized clinical trial.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Cancer Chronic Pain Experience: A Narrative Review.

Cancer-related chronic pain (CP) represents a critical clinical issue through the disease, severely compromising the quality of life (QoL) of patients and the family environment. The current review employed a narrative method to synthesize the main results about the impact of cancer-related CP on QoL, adopting a multidimensional and threefold vision: patients, caregivers, and patient-caregiver perspective. Evidence emphasizes the importance of considering a bidirectional perspective (patient-caregiver) to understand better the pain experience throughout the cancer continuum and its consequence

Cancer Patients' Age-Related Benefits from Mobile Neurofeedback-Therapy in Quality of Life and Self-efficacy: A Clinical Waitlist Control Study.

Electroencephalographic neurofeedback (EEG NF) can improve quality of life (QoL) and reduce distress by modifying the amplitude of selected brain frequencies. This study aims to investigate the effects of NF therapy on QoL and self-efficacy in cancer patients and to explore age-related reactions. In a waitlist control paradigm, psychometric data (EORTC QLQ-C30, General Self-Efficacy Scale) of 20 patients were collected at three different time points, each five weeks apart. An outpatient 10-session NF intervention (mobile) was conducted between the second and third measurement point. QoL and se

Minimal important differences and response shift in health-related quality of life; a longitudinal study in patients with multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND: We previously reported that changes of 6-17 percent in the EORTC QLQ-C30 scores are regarded important by patients with multiple myeloma and thus may be considered as Minimal Important Differences (MIDs). However, patients' internal standard of measurement may have changed over time (response shift, RS). In the present work, we evaluated whether myeloma patients experience RS and if this could affect the MID-estimates. METHODS: Between 2006 and 2008, 239 patients with multiple myeloma completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline (T1) and after three months (T2). At T2, patients were as

Social Support in Older Adults With CKD: A Report From the CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study.

Rationale & objectiveSocial support in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a potentially modifiable factor that may affect important clinical outcomes such as health-related quality of life, cognitive function, and frailty. However, limited data about the effects of social support in older patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD exist. Our objective was to evaluate the association of social support with health-related quality of life, cognitive function, and frailty in older adults with CKD.Study designCross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study.Setting & population1,

Carcinomas arising in multilocular thymic cysts of the neck: a clinicopathological study of three cases.

BACKGROUND: The high prevalence rate of malaria due to the proliferation of drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum could mitigate the realization of sustainable development goals in Nigeria, necessitating research on the discovery of novel chemotherapies against resistant strains of the parasite. However, Solanum anomalum with ethnopharmacological claims could foster this breakthrough, prompting an investigation on the antiplasmodial and hepatoprotective activities of the plant's fruit, semi-purification and characterization of its constituents, as well as in silico studies on its com

Освещение нанотерапевтики с точными глазами: от оптического к радионаностантике.

Рак по-прежнему относится к числу самых смертоносных заболеваний во всем мире, унося много жизней из-за высоких показателей смертности. Химиотерапия, являющаяся одной из основных форм лечения рака, приносит значительные выгоды, однако ей мешают недостатки, которые ставят под угрозу качество жизни пациентов. Таким образом, разработка альтернатив минимально инвазивному лечению по-прежнему представляет собой серьезную проблему. Среди них наноматериалы, легкая фототерапия, включая фотодинамическую терапию, фототермальную терапию и радиотерапию, являются перспективными вариантами, обеспечивающими т

METHODOLOGY: An observational, multicenter and cross-sectional study was conducted. Seven centers with, and twelve centers without an MS-nurse participated. The multiple sclerosis impact scale-29 (MSIS-29) was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included: hospital anxiety and depression scale, coping measures, health-economic and disease-knowledge parameters. RESULTS: Three hundred thirty-fo

Cancer-related cognitive impairment in patients with hematologic malignancies after CAR T cell therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence.

PURPOSE: Cancer-related cognitive impairment is one of the symptoms of neurotoxicity among patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Evidence of the overall estimated prevalence of cancer-related cognitive impairment following CAR T-cell therapy among patients with hematologic malignancies at short-term and long-term follow-ups is lacking. This review aimed to summarize the cognitive functioning status and estimate the prevalence of cancer-related cognitive impairment at follow-up within 1 month, 1 to 12 months, and > 12 months after CAR T cell therapy. METHODS: PubMe

Physical activity programming and counseling preferences among cancer survivors: a systematic review.

BackgroundPhysical activity (PA) participation and adherence among cancer survivors is low, despite research indicating numerous physical, psychological and emotional health benefits of exercise. Tailoring exercise programs specific to the PA preferences in cancer survivors has merit for increasing PA participation and adherence to accrue these benefits. This systematic review identifies and differentiates PA programming and counseling preferences of adult cancer survivors across various cancer survivor groups.MethodsPubMed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL were
