Article AbstractBackground: Many patients with bipolar disorder receive multi-drug treatment regimens, but the distinguishing profiles of who complex pharmacologies have not been established.Method: Prescribing patterns lithium, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and antipsychotics were examined for 4035 subjects (DSM-IV) immediately prior to entering Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program Bipolar Disorder (STEP-BD). Subjects recruited participation across 22 centers in United States...

Abstract Background For many patients with lung cancer, disease progression occurs without notice or vague symptoms, and unfortunately, most treatments are not curative. Given this unpredictability, we hypothesized the following: (1) poorer psychological adjustment (specifically, more depressive higher perceptions of stress, emotional well‐being) would be associated intolerance for uncertainty, perceived illness‐related ambiguity, their interaction; (2) greater avoidance mediate associations...

Using the presence or absence of 63 variable restriction endonuclease (RE) sites selected from 225 with six REs, genomic polymorphism 242 herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strains countries (Japan, Korea, China, Sweden, U.S.A. and Kenya) was quantitatively analysed. Twenty-five were found to differ between Korean Kenyan strains. In contrast, only three isolates Sweden those Korea respectively, suggesting that they are closely related each other. this way, characterization enabled us...

Abstract Objective Prostate cancer survivors have reported cognitive complaints following treatment, and these difficulties may be associated with survivors' ongoing cancer‐related distress. Intolerance of uncertainty exacerbate this hypothesized relationship by predisposing individuals to approach uncertain situations such as survivorship in an inflexible negative manner. We investigated whether greater higher intolerance would interact their relation more distress symptoms. Methods This...

Abstract – Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine associations lifestyle with dental health behaviors such as tooth brushing frequency, use extra cleaning devices, and regular visits a dentist. Methods: Data were collected from 1182 dentate residents 18 years age or older who resided in typical farming district. data included on the demographic factors, behavior, various aspects lifestyle, i.e. mental condition, alcohol consumption, smoking habit, physical activity, social...

Little is known about the association between cognitive dysfunction among informal caregivers and patients’ plans preferences for end of life care. We report on frequency both patients examine associations caregivers’ screening scores with advanced cancer. The current sample was derived from a National Cancer Institute- Institute Mental Health-funded study distant metastasis who had disease progression at least first-line chemotherapy, their (n = 550 pairs). Pfeiffer Short Portable Status,...

Background.Research has found that patients treated for cancer generally have an increased risk cognitive problems. However, many studies focused on performance of under the age 65 who received chemotherapy treatment. Less studied is extent to which diagnosis may be associated with impairment as a late effect older adults.

Given the rapid growth of wearable healthcare device market, we examined associations among health-related and technology-related characteristics using devices demonstrated how differ between US Korean users.Online self-administered surveys were conducted with 4098 participants (3035 in 1063 Korea) who recruited through two online survey service providers based on quota sampling. The primary outcome was use devices. Seven health-related, technology-related, five socio-demographic factors...

Abstract Genomic polymorphism of 307 epidemiologi‐cally unrelated strains herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV‐2) from four areas Japan and three other countries (Korea, Sweden the U.S.A.) was analysed by using 16 variable markers selected 97 restriction endonuclease (RE) sites with five REs. In addition to markers, 26 rare RE were found in isolates. Five (RE sites) differ frequency isolates between those U.S.A., respectively, suggesting that they are genomically different each other. this...

Background: Cognitive function of patients with advanced cancer is frequently compromised. Objective: To determine the extent that patients' cognitive screening scores was associated their end-of-life (EoL) treatment preferences, advance care planning (ACP), and care. Design: Patients were interviewed at baseline administered a screen. Caregivers completed postmortem assessment. Setting/Subjects: distant metastases disease progression after first-line chemotherapy caregivers (n = 609)...

21 Background: Offering hope during prognostic discussions is widely considered essential to the delivery of humane medical care. However, clinicians always offering may undermine realism in patients' understanding and preparation for what lies ahead. We examine how patients’ perceptions their oncologists as hope, compared a more tempered sense relate treatment planning. Methods: Data came from post-scan baseline assessments an NCI funded multi-site study on communication among metastatic...
