Assessment of patient quality life (QOL) requires balancing the details provided by multi-item assessments with reduced burden single-item assessments. In this project, we investigated psychometric properties Linear Analog Scale Assessments (LASAs) for patients newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. Measures included QOL LASAs (overall, physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual), Symptom Distress (SDS), Profile Mood States (POMS; overall, confusion, fatigue), and Functional Cancer...

Background and Purpose —Orthostatic other stresses trigger tachycardia associated with symptoms of tremulousness, shortness breath, dizziness, blurred vision, and, often, syncope. It has been suggested that paradoxical cerebral vasoconstriction during head-up tilt might be present in patients orthostatic intolerance. We chose to study middle artery (MCA) blood flow velocity (BFV) vasoregulation intolerance (OI). Methods —Beat-to-beat BFV from the MCA, heart rate, CO 2 , pressure (BP),...
