The purpose was to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 4-session couple-based Intimacy Enhancement (IE) intervention addressing breast cancer survivors' sexual concerns delivered via telephone. Twenty-nine post-treatment survivors reporting their intimate partners were randomized (2:1) IE or an educational control condition, both which by trained psychosocial providers. Feasibility acceptability measured through recruitment, retention, session completion,...
Sexual concerns continue to be poorly addressed for women treated breast cancer and evidence-based interventions that adequately address these are scarce. The objective of this study was adapt a telephone-based intimacy enhancement intervention, previously tested in couples facing colorectal cancer, the needs with through qualitative focus groups, cognitive interviews, expert review.Three semistructured groups partnered posttreatment survivors (n = 15) reporting sexual were conducted...
To identify potential factors associated with keratoconus.
Abstract Recruitment challenges hinder behavioral intervention research in cancer survivors. The purpose was to examine the reasons for declining and preferences of study-eligible breast survivors a trial four-session couple-based Intimacy Enhancement (refusers) explore whether refusers differed from participants on key characteristics. Partnered, post-treatment reporting sexual concerns who were eligible but declined participation approached complete standardized 5-min telephone survey...
Abstract HPC infusions have been associated with a variety of adverse events related to either patient or product‐related factors. Studies documenting infusion‐related AE s in children are limited. We reviewed infusion records 354 children. Infusion‐related were classified as follows: grade 0—absent, I—mild, II —moderate, III —severe, IV —life‐threatening, and V—death. The percentage patients 0, I, ‐ was 0 = 67%, I 23.4%, ‐V 9.6% (one had fatal anaphylactic reaction dimethyl sulfoxide)....
Central venous catheter related blood stream infections (CRBSI) increase morbidity and mortality in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. There are limited data the HSCT population regarding incidence of CRBSI. Studies adult oncology patients have reported average rate to be 2.5 CRBSI per 1000 patient-days. We hypothesized that adherence evidence-based practices shown reduce short term central lines (CVLs) would also long CVLs. report preliminary results...
Daily blood cultures during febrile illness are standard of care in many centers for post allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant patients (alloHCT). The clinical significance obtaining daily has not been examined to our knowledge the literature. associated with iatrogenic loss and central line access. We report incidence rate bloodstream bacterial infections (BBSI) after four consecutive negative between 2000-2013.
At our center, current practice requires a BMT attending, nurse practitioner, clinical specialist, and 1-2 nurses remain in the room during all HCI to monitor patients. Emergency medications are drawn up prior initiation of HCI. Our objective is safely reduce number personnel wasted We studied product characteristics risk factors that can lead infusion related adverse events. Infusion reactions were classified based on NCI criteria as none (grade 0), mild 1), moderate 2), severe 3), life...
1585 Background: Genetic testing for hereditary cancer predisposition has rapidly changed over the past few years with introduction of multigene panel testing. Multigene evolved from disease-agnostic comprehensive (C) panels alone to include disease-specific but expanded (DSE) as well guideline-based (GB) panels. We analyzed trends in utilization genetic a two-year period one NCI-designated Cancer Center, hypothesizing that time usage would trend toward more Methods: conducted retrospective...
The ectopic secretion of prolactin by nonpituitary tumors has been reported to occur in only two patients, and that a single investigator. apparent rarity this occurrence may be due its actual infrequency, or failure recognize hyperprolactinemia, the circulation hormone form with low biological activity. Because high incidence elevated levels blood patients cancers, frequency which is found tumor tissue extracts, authors attempted ascertain hyperprolactinemia variety cancers. Serum samples...
