Pertussis vaccine effectiveness among children 6 to 59 months of age in the United States, 1998-2001.

BACKGROUND: Despite the dramatic pertussis decrease since the licensure of whole-cell pertussis (diphtheria-tetanus toxoids-pertussis [DTP]) vaccines in the middle 1940s, pertussis remains endemic in the United States and can cause illness among persons at any age; >11000 pertussis cases were reported in 2003.

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

Nurse self-evaluation of assessment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer.

The focus of this study was to assess the feasibility and clinical implementation of a standardized assessment for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) by registered nurses in patients undergoing neurotoxic chemotherapy. A total of 24 registered nurses from 4 different institutions were enrolled into the study. A pre- and posttest design was used to assess changes in nurses' attitudes, knowledge, and perceived skill in CIPN assessment. Using selected data collection instruments, nurses performed standardized assessments during the course of chemotherapy treatments. Patient-reporte

Outpatient CAR T-Cell Therapy as Standard of Care: Current Perspectives and Considerations.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) has altered the treatment landscape of several hematologic malignancies. Until recently, most CAR-T infusions have been administered in the inpatient setting, due to their toxicity profile. However, the advent of new product constructs, as well as improved detection and management of adverse effects, have greatly increased the safety in administering these therapies. CAR-T indications continue to expand, and inpatient administration is associated with increased healthcare resource utilization and overall cost. Therefore, transitioning CAR-T admi

Do people with disabilities experience disparities in cancer care? A systematic review.

BackgroundOver 1.3 billion people, or 16% of the world's population, live with some form of disability. Recent studies have reported that people with disabilities (PwD) might not be receiving state-of-the-art treatment for cancer as their non-disabled peers; our objective was to systematically review this topic.MethodsA systematic review was undertaken to compare cancer outcomes and quality of cancer care between adults with and without disabilities (NIHR Prospero register ID number: CRD42022281506). A search of the literature was performed in July 2022 across five databases: EMBASE, Medline,

Disability, psychological distress and quality of life in relation to cancer diagnosis and cancer type: population-based Australian study of 22,505 cancer survivors and 244,000 people without cancer.

BACKGROUND: Improved survival means that cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic disease. Understanding and improving functional outcomes are critical to optimising survivorship. We quantified physical and mental health-related outcomes in people with versus without cancer, according to cancer type. METHODS: Questionnaire data from an Australian population-based cohort study (45 and Up Study (n = 267,153)) were linked to cancer registration data to ascertain cancer diagnoses up to enrolment. Modified Poisson regression estimated age- and sex-adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) for adverse pers

Genetic and Plasma Proteomic Approaches to Identify Therapeutic Targets for Graves' Disease and Graves' Ophthalmopathy.

BackgroundThe blood proteome is a major source of biomarkers and therapeutic targets. We aimed to identify the causal proteins and potential targets for Graves' disease (GD) and Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) via systematic genetic analyses.MethodsGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) on the UK Biobank- Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) collected 2923 Olink proteins from 54,219 participants. We conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study with cis-pQTLs to identify candidate proteins for GD and GO risk. Colocalization analysis and the Heidi test were used to examine whether th

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Sinhala version of the spiritual needs assessment for patients (S-SNAP) questionnaire.
