Although it is widely recognised that people turn to spirituality in times of crises, the interest exploring spiritual needs cancer patients just beginning grow. The purpose this study was conduct a assessment with living Northern European metropolitan region order (a) examine relevance and nature needs; (b) clarify role demographic clinical characteristics (c) identify their associations dimensions psychological distress. N = 285 outpatients mixed sites all tumour stages were surveyed...
Abstract Objective : This longitudinal study examines the extent to which global meaning, existential distress in terms of demoralization, and depression are predicted by tumor stage (UICC stages 0–II vs III/IV), palliative treatment, physical problems cancer patients. Methods N = 270 patients were studied at baseline (T1, response rate: 41%) after 3 months (T2) ( 178, 72%). The following standardized self‐report measures used: Demoralization Scale, Life Attitude Profile—Revised, Hospital...
Background Generally, overall treatment time for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer should be as short reasonably possible. This analysis was undertaken to determine at what additional survival/locoregional control benefits could achieved compared a 100-day cutoff. Methods Clinical impact of assessed in 272 by multivariable Cox regression Kaplan–Meier analyses using the historical cutoff optimal time, determined recursive partitioning analysis. Survival endpoints were times...
Malnutrition negatively impacts quality of life (QoL) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). This is the first prospective study to assess impact malnutrition (defined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived fat-free mass index) on QoL HNC undergoing (chemo)radiotherapy. Between October 2018 2020, 58 prospectively completed QoL-questionnaires EORTC-QLQ-C30 EORTC-QLQ-H&N35 at beginning (tb) end (chemo)radiotherapy (te) as well during follow-up (tf). At these time points,...
Abstract Purpose Risk management (RM) is a key component of patient safety in radiation oncology (RO). We investigated current approaches on RM German RO within the framework Patient Safety Radiation Oncology (PaSaGeRO) project. Aim was not only to evaluate status quo purposes but furthermore discover challenges for sustainable that should be addressed future research and recommendations. Methods An online survey conducted from June August 2021, consisting 18 items prospective reactive RM,...
Taper junctions between modular hip arthroplasty femoral heads and stems fail by wear or corrosion which can be caused relative motion at their interface. Increasing the assembly force reduce but may also damage surrounding tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine effects increasing impaction energy stiffness impactor tool on stability taper junction forces transmitted through patient's tissues.A commercially available modified assemble components in laboratory using tips with...
To investigate the influence of radiation dose to swallowing muscles on nutritional status in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing primary or adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy (C)RT.Between 2018 2020, 61 were prospectively randomized into so-called HEADNUT trial (head intervention). Follow-up was continued until 2022. Contouring apparatus included superior (scm), middle (mcm), inferior constrictor muscle (icm), cricopharyngeal (cphm), esophageal inlet. Nutritional assessed by...
