<b>Objective</b> To assess the effect of a multimodal group exercise intervention, as an adjunct to conventional care, on fatigue, physical capacity, general wellbeing, activity, and quality life in patients with cancer who were undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy or treatment for advanced disease. <b>Design</b> Randomised controlled trial. <b>Setting</b> Two university hospitals Copenhagen, Denmark. <b>Participants</b> 269 cancer; 73 men, 196 women, mean age 47 years (range 20-65) representing...
Abstract Cardiorespiratory fitness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and shortened life expectancy in breast cancer survivors. This randomised controlled trial (n = 153) was designed patients with a physically inactive lifestyle prediagnosis concurrently referred to adjuvant chemotherapy. We compared two 12-week exercise interventions aimed at physiological patient-reported outcomes (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, metabolic markers, physical activity,...
Caregivers must be aware of patients' current needs by providing care responsive to values and preferences identifying what approach improves encourages patients participate in their treatment disease management. Patients with psoriasis healthcare perhaps change as medical knowledge improves, new drugs emerge the system its efficiency a result constant structural development. To explore unmet health perceptions people psoriasis, regarding interaction clinicians structure inherent...
Cancer and treatment can negatively affect the body's performance appearance. Exercise has been tested in a few studies for altered body image among middle-aged women with breast cancer. The aim of study was to explore how young pre-cancer athletes both genders experience disease- treatment-related physical fitness appearance changes while undergoing chemotherapy participating 6-week group exercise intervention. A prospective, explorative using semi-structured interviews conducted before at...
Traditionally, patients with acute leukaemia are admitted to hospital during chemotherapy-induced pancytopenia, although a few recent reports have reported the feasibility and safety of outpatient treatment. We developed an treatment programme for incorporating comprehensive patient education self-care management at home pancytopenia involvement in care their tunnelled central venous catheter (CVC). During neutropenia, treated prophylactic ciprofloxacine, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid...
Introduction Anti-neoplastic treatment is synonymous with an inactive daily life for a substantial number of patients. It remains unclear what the optimal setting, dosage and combination exercise health promoting components that best facilitate patient adherence symptom management in order to support cardio-respiratory fitness lifestyle changes at-risk population pre-illness physically cancer Methods Patients breast or colon referred adjuvant chemotherapy by oncologists pre-screening...
Abstract Background. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer may cause clinically significant persistent psychological morbidity. objective this study was to determine the short-term effect a six week exercise intervention on anxiety depression in patients undergoing chemotherapy (The 'Body & Cancer' trial). Methods. Two hundred nine self-referred (52 males, 157 females, mean age 47 years) were randomised into an group waiting-list control group. Anxiety measured by Hospital Depression Scale....
Background: Due to long-standing concerns that heavy-load lifting could increase the risk of developing lymphedema, breast cancer survivors have been advised refrain from resistance exercise with heavy loads. This study prospectively evaluated effect on lymphedema development in women receiving chemotherapy for cancer.Material and Methods: Physically inactive adjuvant (n = 153) were randomized a HIGH (supervised, multimodal including exercise: 85–90% 1 repetition maximum [RM], three sets 5–8...
Little is known about the role of exercise in improving cancer patients' mood while undergoing chemotherapy. In this phase II study changes self-reported anxiety and depression fitness (VO2max) are reported relation to a 6-week, 9 h weekly, multidimensional program. A total 91 patients receiving chemotherapy, between 18 65 years old, completed Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale Questionnaire (HADS; response rate 91%, adherence 78%). (p < 0.001) = 0.042) was significantly reduced. The mean +/-...
Summary. Recombinant activated factor VIIa (rFVIIa) is a well‐established treatment for bleeding episodes in patients with congenital or acquired haemophilia A B inhibitors to factors VIII and IX FVII deficiency. The aim of this trial was demonstrate bioequivalence between the currently marketed (rFVIIa/NovoSeven ® ) new rFVIIa formulation (VII25) stable at up 25°C. Furthermore, short‐term safety tolerability VII25 pharmacokinetics both formulations were investigated. In single‐centre,...
A significant decrease in catheter-related infections was demonstrated our earlier randomized controlled trial of central venous catheter (CVC) care hematologic patients.This article focuses on patients' clinical and psychosocial experiences with CVC self-care compared professionally care.Eighty-two patients tunneled CVCs were enrolled the trial. The intervention group (n = 42) trained to perform self-care. control 40) followed standard procedure provided by nurses. Eighteen selected for...
Challenges exist in identifying, recruiting and motivating sedentary patients with cancer to initiate physical activity towards recommended levels. We hypothesise that the onset period of adjuvant chemotherapy can be 'the open window opportunity' identify motivate breast colon cancers, at risk for developing coronary heart disease, sustain lifestyle changes.To investigate feasibility oncologists/nurses screening inactivity, order recruit an at-risk population or chemotherapy. Furthermore,...
Purpose Despite a paucity of evidence, prevention guidelines typically advise avoidance heavy lifting in an effort to protect against breast cancer–related lymphedema. This study compared acute responses arm swelling and related symptoms after low- heavy-load resistance exercise among women at risk for lymphedema while receiving adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy. Methods is randomized, crossover equivalence trial. Women chemotherapy cancer who had undergone axillary lymph node dissection (n...
Explorative qualitative study based on an interpretative phenomenological approach.This explored the possibility of transferring knowledge and skills from a spinal cord injury (SCI) unit to home environment; individual structural factors that potentially influenced this transfer; its compatibility with meaningful everyday life.Hospital-based rehabilitation community in Denmark.Fourteen individuals SCI were selected maximum variation according age, sex, marital status, level injury.

Patients with acute leukemia experience a substantial symptom burden and are at risk of developing infections throughout the course repeated cycles intensive chemotherapy. Physical activity in recent years has been strategy for rehabilitation cancer patients to remedy disease treatment related symptoms side effects. To date, there no clinical practice exercise guidelines undergoing induction consolidation A randomized controlled trial is needed determine if can benefit by structured...
