Abstract Background Lymphedema may disrupt local function and affect quality of life (QOL) in patients with head neck cancer. The purpose this study was to examine the associations among severity internal external lymphedema, symptoms, functional status, QOL Methods sample included 103 who were ≥3 months after cancer treatment. Variables assessed physical/psychological QOL. Results Severity lymphedema associated physical symptoms psychological symptoms. Patients more severe likely have a...
Abstract Background In light of the COVID‐19 pandemic, there has been a rapid increase in telemedicine visits. Otolaryngology patient satisfaction with these visits not yet extensively studied using validated survey. Methods All patients who had three head and neck surgeons, by phone or video‐based platform, between March 25, 2020 April 24, 2020. Retrospective chart reviews were conducted to determine demographic, disease, treatment information. Patients video visit contacted telephone and,...
Objective During the COVID‐19 pandemic, there has been unprecedented use of telemedicine for otolaryngology ambulatory visits. Patient satisfaction with is an important metric, but survey‐based questionnaires do not capture nuances patient experience. This study aims to understand head and neck patients’ perceptions about clinic visits during COVID‐19. Methods Fifty‐six established patients who had video‐based otolaryngology–head surgery faculty member between March 25, 2020, April 24,...
Breast cancer survivors with lymphedema face a lifetime of stressful physical and emotional symptoms challenging self-care demands. An in-depth understanding the perceptions feelings surrounding life is critical to developing effective supportive care approaches.The objective study was explore related in breast survivors.The expressive writings 39 individuals were evaluated for this descriptive qualitative study. Data analyzed using conventional content analysis.Qualitative analyses produced...
Tumor/treatment-related internal lymphedema (IL) and/or external (EL) are associated with functional deficits and increased symptom burden in head neck cancer patients (HNCP). Previously, we noted association between EL/IL patient-reported dysphagia using the Vanderbilt Head Neck Symptom Survey (VHNSS) version 1.0.To determine relationship IL/EL subjective objective measures of swallowing function.Eighty-one HNCP completed: (1) VHNSS 2.0, including 13 swallowing/nutrition-related questions...
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that may result from cancer-related surgery. The incidence of lymphedema varies greatly; however, patients remain at risk for life and experience decreased quality functional capacity. Providing recommendations an evidence-based guideline care cancer treatment-related will help to improve outcomes with this condition.A panel healthcare professionals patient representation convened develop national clinical practice on prospective surveillance, reduction,...
Clinically, chronic pain and depression often coexist in multiple diseases reciprocally reinforce each other, which greatly escalates the difficulty of treatment. The neural circuit mechanism underlying pain/depression comorbidity remains unclear. present study reports that two distinct subregions paraventricular thalamus (PVT) play different roles this pathological process. In first subregion PVT posterior (PVP), glutamatergic neurons (PVP
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose</bold>: Cancer survivors often experience chronic pain, impacting their daily functioning and quality of life. Despite the existence effective pain management therapies, cancer may not adequate related to patient-related barriers. This review aims explore barriers that inhibit among survivors. <bold>Methods</bold>: A narrative synthesis was conducted using a systematic literature. Abstract full-text screening, along with appraisal level evidence...
Single-frequency bioelectrical impedance has been used in clinical and research settings to measure extracellular fluid arms. Its ease of use low risk user error suggests this measurement method may have advantages for nonlaboratory (community-based) environments when compared other methods. The purpose study was evaluate the feasibility using single-frequency detect upper limb lymphedema settings.Using a standardized protocol, ratios among healthy normal women, breast cancer survivors with...
Objective To describe and compare diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters between patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) Alzheimer's (AD) diagnosed using structuralized neuropsychiatric assessments, investigate potential neuronal substrates related to cognitive performance. Methods Thirty-five SIVD, 40 AD, 33 cognitively normal control (NC) subjects matched by age education level were consecutively recruited underwent function assessments DTI examinations. Comparisons...
The adaption of brain region is fundamental to the development and maintenance nervous system disorders. prelimbic cortex (PrL) participates in affective components pain sensation. However, whether how adaptation PrL contributes comorbidity neuropathic depression are unknown.Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), genetic knockdown or overexpression, we systematically investigated activity pathogenesis pain/depression comorbid using combined approaches...
Projections from the periaqueductal gray (PAG) to rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) are known engage in descending pain modulation, but how neural substrates of PAG-RVM projections contribute neuropathic remains largely unknown. In this study, we showed somatostatin-expressing glutamatergic neurons lateral/ventrolateral PAG that facilitate mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity a mouse model chemotherapy-induced pain. We found these form direct excitatory connections with RVM region....
Cancer-related lymphedema is a progressive and chronic syndrome of abnormal swelling multiple symptoms resulting from cancer treatment. Even with modern medical advances, remains major health problem affecting thousands survivors. To provide healthcare professionals evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for treatment management, systematic review was conducted to evaluate 75 selected articles 2009-2014 by the Oncology Nursing Society Putting Evidence Into Practice team. Findings...
