ContextRising costs of medications and inequities in access have sparked calls for drug policy reform the United States Canada. Control expenditures by prescription cost-sharing elderly persons poor is a contentious issue because little known about health impact these subgroups.ObjectivesTo determine (1) introducing on use essential less drugs among welfare recipients (2) rates emergency department (ED) visits serious adverse events associated with reductions before after...
A new gait training strategy for patients with stroke proposes to support a percentage of the patient's body weight while retraining on treadmill. This research project intended compare effects (BWS) and no (no-BWS) clinical outcome measures stroke.One hundred subjects were randomized receive one two treatments walking treadmill: 50 trained walk up 40% their supported by BWS system overhead harness (BWS group), other bearing full lower extremities (no-BWS group). Treatment outcomes assessed...
Stroke is the most disabling chronic condition, newly affecting 35000 persons in Canada each year. Because of declining fatality, a growing number will have to cope with stroke-related disability. The purpose this paper describe disabilities experienced by stroke during first year and explore evolution impairment, disability, handicap health-related quality life.The data for come from series longitudinal cross-sectional studies, collectively known as McGill Rehabilitation Research...
'Prehabilitation' is an intervention to enhance functional capacity in anticipation of a forthcoming physiological stressor. In patients scheduled for colorectal surgery, the extent which structured prehabilitation regimen stationary cycling and strengthening optimized recovery walking after surgery was compared with simpler breathing exercises.Some 112 (mean(s.d.) age 60(16) years) were randomized either bike (bike/strengthening group, 58 patients) or (walk/breathing 54 patients)....
Background Multimodal analgesia programs have been shown to decrease hospital stay, but it not clear which functions are restored after surgery. The objective of this study is evaluate the impact epidural anesthesia and on functional exercise capacity health-related quality life. Methods Sixty-four patients undergoing elective colonic resection were randomized either patient-controlled with morphine or thoracic bupivacaine fentanyl (epidural group). All in both groups received similar...
Background and Purpose —Because stroke management is aimed at facilitating community reintegration, it would be logical that the sooner patient can discharged home, reintegration commence. The purpose of this study was to determine effectiveness prompt discharge combined with home rehabilitation on function, health-related quality life during first 3 months after stroke. Methods —A randomized trial carried out involving patients who required services had a caregiver home. When medically...
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a task-orientated intervention in enhancing competence walking people with stroke. Design: Two-centre observer-blinded stratified block-randomized controlled trial. Setting: General community. Subjects: Between May 2000 and February 2003, 91 individuals residual deficit within one year first or recurrent stroke consented to participate. Interventions: The experimental comprised 10 functional tasks designed strengthen lower extremities enhance balance,...
Study Design Data from a retrospective cohort study of people with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were combined information on full-spinal radiographs to estimate contemporary x-ray doses and lifetime risks for development cancer. Objectives To project the risk cancer diagnostic scoliosis. Summary Background Although twofold excess breast has been reported women treated between 1925 1965, associated management today is sparse. Specifically, there lack up-to-date number spinal taken,...
Background and Purpose— Stroke survivors are often described as apathetic. Because apathy may be a barrier to participation in promising therapies, more needs learned about symptoms after stroke. The specific objective was estimate the extent which changes with time over first year stroke impact of on recovery. Methods— Apathy Assessed cohort formed from participating longitudinal study health-related quality life A family caregiver completed an questionnaire by telephone at 1, 3, 6, 12...
This pilot study aimed to provide supportive evidence for the acceptability and usefulness of Meaning-Making intervention (MMi) in patients newly diagnosed with Stage III or IV ovarian cancer, estimates parameters needed design a full-scale study.A randomized controlled trial 24 (12 experimental 12 control) was conducted. Existential well-being (primary outcome), overall quality life, distress, anxiety, depression self-efficacy were measured.Compared control group, group had better sense...
Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to estimate the extent which women and men with MS present different exercise barriers. secondary perceived-health, depressive symptoms, current routines or preferences. Methods: This a cross sectional survey. Results: 417 people completed survey barriers routines, perceived-health symptoms. top three were: too tired; impairment; lack time, regardless their gender. Regardless gender, times/week 60 min/session identified as most common...
The extant response shift definitions and theoretical models, while helpful, also introduce predicaments debates continue. To address these stimulate empirical research, we propose a more specific formal definition of revised model.This work is an international collaborative effort involved critical assessment the literature.Three main were identified. First, need further specification clarification. Second, previous models focused on explaining change in construct intended to be measured...
