Purpose To identify the prevalence of psychological distress among women with ovarian cancer and to examine association between these symptoms demographic medical variables. Patients Methods Participants were 143 cancer. Forty-eight percent participants had been diagnosed advanced-stage disease (stage III or IV) most (80%) currently receiving treatment. Psychological was assessed following measures: Beck Depression Inventory, Mental Health Impact Events Scale, a questionnaire regarding...
Although the incidence of precancerous conditions cervix has recently been increasing, prompt initial and long-term follow-up care can effectively reduce unnecessary morbidity mortality. For example, 4-year survival rates among those individuals at greatest risk for cervical cancer (i.e., minority women low socioeconomic status) approach 95% with early detection. Women who present advanced disease have a much poorer outlook (0%-39% survival). Yet, high-risk are least likely to adhere...
Background —Although most ablative procedures undertaken for common atrial flutter target the inferior right isthmus, comparative studies of morphology this area are lacking. Our study examines its angiographic anatomy, making correlations with postmortem specimens, to provide a better understanding anatomic substrate arrhythmia. Methods and Results —The gross morphological features dimensions between orifice caval vein attachment septal leaflet tricuspid valve were determined from...
The medical records of 113 patients treated with radiation therapy for invasive cervical cancer between 1975 and 1985 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients thrombocytosis (platelet count > 400,000/μ1) compared those normal platelet counts. Thrombo-cytosis was present at the initiation in 20 (17.7%) patients. 5-year cumulative survival rate 93 counts 65%, whereas it 25% (P < 0.0001, log-rank test). Using Cox's proportional hazards model, continued to correlate strongly poor even when...
Although research has indicated that illness-related and interpersonal stress are associated with greater psychological distress among cancer patients, little empirical attention been given to mechanisms account for these relationships. In the present study, 2 association between (physical impairment) (family friend unsupportive responses) of 143 ovarian patients were examined cross-sectionally. Separate structural equation models tested whether physical impairment impacted patients' via...
This study compared the efficacy of 2 psychological interventions, a coping and communication-enhancing intervention (CCI) supportive counseling (SC), in reducing depressive symptoms cancer-specific distress women diagnosed with gynecological cancer. Demographic, medical, moderators effects were evaluated. Three hundred fifty-three cancer randomly assigned to 7 sessions CCI, SC, or usual care. Intent-to-treat growth curve analyses indicated that participants CCI SC reported lower than care...
Abstract Several observational studies have shown a better late outcome in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions treated stents whom the side branch was not stented. Balloon dilation and provisional stenting for seem an attractive strategy to manage these challenging types of lesions. This study evaluated results three‐step phase stent treatment bifurcated We 126 patients, 58 ± 11 years old, major stenosis. The therapeutic procedure undertaken following three phases; progression through...
