Opioid use in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica.

INTRODUCTION: Recognizing and managing high-acuity, low-frequency pediatric conditions such as near-fatal bronchospasm with respiratory failure and uncompensated septic shock are essential skills for trainees. These emergencies require timely clinical judgment and familiarity with medications, respiratory support, and resuscitation strategies. METHODS: We implemented a high-fidelity, interprofessional simulation for pediatric residents focused on management of near-fatal bronchospasm complicated by septic shock. The simulation was delivered as 4 standalone sessions over 2 months. The scenario

Qualitative analysis of cancer care experiences among rural cancer survivors and caregivers.

PurposeRural (vs urban) patients experience poorer cancer outcomes and are less likely to be engaged in cancer prevention, such as screening. As part of a community needs assessment, we explored rural cancer survivors' and caregivers' experiences, perceptions, and attitudes toward cancer care services.MethodsWe conducted 3 focus groups (N = 20) in Spring 2021 in rural Nebraska.FindingsThree patterns of cancer diagnosis were regular care/screening without noticeable symptoms, treatment for symptoms not initially identified as cancer related, and symptom self-identification. Most participants, r

Impact of early palliative care intervention in autologous bone marrow transplantation: feasibility of a multicentric study.

IntroductionThis prospective multicentre study evaluates the impact of Palliative Care Unit (PCU) intervention (Experimental Group, EG), during autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) on quality of life (QoL), symptom control and healthcare resource use compared to standard practice (Control Group, CG). We used validated scales on Days 0 (stem cell infusion), + 7 (bone marrow aplasia, acute symptoms) and + 21 (aplasia recovery).ResultsIn 40 patients (20 EG/ 20 CG: 45%/25% female, median age 57.5/59), QoL differed significantly at Day + 7 (EG: median 0.50; CG: -63.00; p < 0.0

The findings indicate a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects, including antitumor, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, and immunosuppressive properties. These compounds are notably effective against breast, lung, liver, and prostate cancers, exhibiting IC50 values of appro

What do patients think about palliative care? A national survey of hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Palliative care (PC) benefits patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but it remains underutilized. Although transplant physicians report concerns regarding how patients perceive PC, HSCT recipients' perceptions about PC remain unaddressed. We conducted a multisite, cross-sectional survey of autologous and allogeneic HSCT recipients 3 to 12 months after transplant to assess their familiarity, knowledge, and perception of PC, as well as their unmet PC needs. We computed a composite score of patients' perceptions of PC and used a generalized linear regression model to

Development, acceptability and uptake of an on-line communication skills education program targeting challenging conversations for oncology health professionals related to identifying and responding to anxiety and depression.

BackgroundAnxiety and depression screening and management in cancer settings occurs inconsistently in Australia. We developed a clinical pathway (ADAPT CP) to promote standardized assessment and response to affected patients and enhance uptake of psychosocial interventions. Health professional education is a common strategy utilised to support implementation of practice change interventions. We developed an interactive on-line education program to support staff communication and confidence with anxiety/depression screening and referral prior to the ADAPT CP being implemented in 12 oncology ser

Feasibility of a yoga, aerobic and stretching-toning exercise program for adult cancer survivors: the STAYFit trial.

BackgroundThe use of yoga as a mind-body practice has become increasingly popular among clinical populations and older adults who use this practice to manage age and chronic disease-related symptoms. Although yoga continues to gain popularity among practitioners and researchers, pilot studies that examine its feasibility and acceptability, especially among cancer survivors, are limited. Feasibility studies play a critical role in determining whether the target population is likely to engage with larger scale efficacy and effectiveness trials. In this paper we present feasibility and acceptabil

The predictors of spiritual dryness among Iranian cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BackgroundSpiritual struggles affect the wellbeing of religious people. Among them are strugglers with God which is perceived as non-responsive and distant. These perceptions were so far analyzed predominantly in Western societies with a Christian background, but not in Muslims from Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of spiritual dryness among cancer patients in Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsCross-sectional study with standardized questionnaires (i.e., Spiritual Dryness Scale, WHO-5, BMLSS-10, Awe/Gratitude Scale) among 490 cancer patients (mean age 49.50 ±

Recent advances in management of COVID-19: A review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused and is still causing significant mortality and economic consequences all over the globe. As of today, there are three U.S Food and Drug administration (FDA) approved vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. Also, the antiviral drug remdesivir and two combinations of monoclonal antibodies are authorized for Emergency use (EUA) in certain patients. Furthermore, baricitinib was approved in Japan (April 23, 2021). Despite available vaccines and EUA, pharmacological therapy for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 i

Exploring Cost-Effectiveness of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in Geriatric Oncology: A Narrative Review.

The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and the corresponding geriatric interventions are beneficial for community-dwelling older persons in terms of reduced mortality, disability, institutionalisation and healthcare utilisation. However, the value of CGA in the management of older cancer patients both in terms of clinical outcomes and in cost-effectiveness remains to be fully established, and CGA is still far from being routinely implemented in geriatric oncology. This narrative review aims to analyse the available evidence on the cost-effectiveness of CGA adopted in geriatric oncology,

Incivility Is Associated with Burnout and Reduced Compassion Satisfaction: A Mixed-Method Study to Identify Causes of Burnout among Oncology Clinical Research Coordinators.

While oncology clinical research coordinators (CRCs) experience a combination of factors that are thought to put them at increased risk for burnout, very little research has been conducted to understand the risk factors associated with burnout among CRCs. We used a mixed-method approach, including self-report questionnaires to assess burnout and compassion satisfaction, as well as individual and interpersonal variables hypothesized to impact CRC well-being. We also conducted a focus group to gain a more nuanced understanding of coordinators' experiences around burnout, teamwork, resilience, an

Viewing the US presidential electoral map through the lens of public health.

Health, disease, and mortality vary greatly at the county level, and there are strong geographical trends of disease in the United States. Healthcare is and has been a top priority for voters in the U.S., and an important political issue. Consequently, it is important to determine what relationship voting patterns have with health, disease, and mortality, as doing so may help guide appropriate policy. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between voting patterns and over 150 different public health and wellbeing variables at the county level, comparing all states, including
