Abstract Purpose Informal caregivers of people with high grade glioma (HGG) often have levels unmet support needs. Routine screening for needs can facilitate appropriate and timely access to supportive care. We aimed develop a brief tool HGG caregiver needs, based on the Supportive Care Needs Survey—Partners & Caregivers (SCNS-P&C). Methods Secondary analysis was performed responses SCNS-P&C from 188 caregivers, who participated in Care-IS trial. items were assessed against four...
Abstract Purpose To improve understanding of genitourinary symptoms (GUS) in women with breast cancer (BC). Methods Women BC completed a survey assessing the type, severity, and impact GUS experienced, perceptions treatment options. Results Surveys were by 506 women: median age 60 years (range 30 – 83). The majority reported: being sexually active (52%); currently taking endocrine therapy (58%); having early-stage (84%). 69% had GUS, some changing (5%) or stopping (4%) as result. Vaginal...
Abstract Background Split anterolateral thigh flap is a versatile reconstruction option, yet long underestimated as no practical perforator classification and optimal strategy were present. Harvesting “capillary nonsizable perforators” could potentially expand splits to those with existing multiple sizable perforators. Concerns over defect characteristics, recipient vessels, pedicle length, split timing should all be weighted equally in designing the suitable flap. Refinement thus required...
Abstract Background We aimed to define levels of unmet supportive care needs in people with primary brain tumor and reach expert consensus on feasibility addressing patients’ clinical practice. Methods conducted secondary analysis a prospective cohort study diagnosed high-grade glioma (n = 116) who completed the Supportive Care Needs Survey-Short Form during adjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Participants were allocated 1 3 categories: no need (“no need” for help all items), low (“low at least...
Buttock pressure injuries can be difficult to treat. There are many choices of flaps reconstruct these wounds, but few large, technically simple, and easily recycled.We presenting our experience on surgical reconstruction buttock using large whole-buttock fasciocutaneous that designed for ulcers regardless location size recycled treatment recurrences.We conducted a retrospective review all patients who received with rotational region from January 2013 December 2018. The key steps this...
Microsurgery is a highly specialized skill that requires advanced training. This recount of the 12-year development Hanoi National Hospital Odonto-Stomatology (NHOS) from basic plastic surgery unit to high-volume, subspecialized reconstructive center.We present retrospective account NHOS with brief summary microsurgical outcomes.From 2008 2020, has performed 665 flaps for reconstruction various maxillomandibular defects. In pioneering stage (2008-2011), without surgical microscopes, all five...
