Objective To report the first systematic investigation of cognitive effects luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues in male patients, as LHRH have been associated with memory impairments women using these drugs for gynaecological conditions. Patients and methods Eighty‐two men extraprostatic prostate cancer were randomly assigned to receive either continuous leuprorelin, goserelin (both analogues), cyproterone acetate (a steroidal antiandrogen) or close clinical monitoring....
Objective: To analyze potential benefits with regards to infectious complications combined use of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and ABP in elective colorectal resections. Background: Despite recent literature suggesting that MBP does not reduce infection rate, it still is commonly used. The oral antibiotic (ABP) has been practiced for decades but its also controversial. Methods: Patients undergoing resection the 2012 2015 American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement...
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of different management strategies for non‐localized prostate cancer on men's quality life and cognitive functioning. PATIENTS, SUBJECTS AND METHODS Men with were randomly assigned to one four treatment arms: leuprorelin, goserelin, cyproterone acetate (CPA), or close clinical monitoring. In a repeated‐measures design, men assessed before (baseline) after 6 12 months treatment. A community comparison group same age no participated length time. The...
<b>Objectives</b> To assess whether supplementation with antioxidants, folinic acid, or both improves the psychomotor and language development of children Down’s syndrome. <b>Design</b> Randomised controlled trial two by factorial design. <b>Setting</b> Children living in Midlands, Greater London, south west England. <b>Participants</b> 156 infants aged under 7 months trisomy 21. <b>Intervention</b> Daily oral antioxidants (selenium 10 μg, zinc 5 mg, vitamin A 0.9 E 100 C 50 mg), acid (0.1...
Abstract Objective This research aimed to address the gap in evidence‐based treatment available for cancer survivors who are experiencing cognitive dysfunction, through piloting a novel intervention. The overall question was whether group rehabilitation intervention would be feasible improving function and quality of life people have completed treatment. Methods Three groups adults were recruited as follows: an 23 4‐week treatment, comparison nine survivors, community sample had never...
The current study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity, convergent validity and ecological of a newly developed virtual reality prospective memory (PM) task (i.e., Virtual Reality Shopping Task; VRST) for use with individuals traumatic brain injury (TBI). Thirty severe TBI 24 uninjured adults matched on age, gender education level were administered VRST, lexical decision PM (LDPMT), an index task-friendliness cognitive assessment battery. Significant others rated disruptions in participants'...
Little information exists on the roost habitat characteristics of reproductive forest bats; hence, we used radiotelemetry to locate 121 roosts 8 species bats in 2 study areas Coconino National Forest (CNF), northern Arizona, during 1993-95.Only pregnant or lactating were examined study.Ninetyseven (80%) ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) snags.Snags by larger diameter at breast height (dbh) and more likely have exfoliating bark (bark peeling away from snag, thus creating space between snag)...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy and second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America. Nearly two thirds newly diagnosed CRC cases include lymph node (LN) involvement, LN metastasis one strongest negative prognostic factors for CRC. It thought that tumors contain a small population drug-resistant tumor-initiating cells (Co-TICs) may be responsible recurrence. To evaluate effects stromal on Co-TICs, we established unique xenoplant model using isolated by...
Prostatic carcinoma and its treatment have been associated with adverse effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Individual differences in appraisal coping suggested to mediate these HRQoL outcomes. A randomized trial 65 men non-localized prostate cancer compared several treatments tested associations between appraisal, coping, HRQoL. These patients, 16 community volunteers matched for age general health, undertook psychosocial assessments before after 6 months treatment. Compared...
Abstract This study compared psychological distress and coping strategies for three different permanent firefighter groups in South-East Queensland, Australia: recruits (n = 42), on-shift firefighters 51), who had recently attended one of 13 fatal incidents 52). Older reported more general but no increase posttraumatic stress symptoms. Coping tended to be associated with higher stress, once this tendency was taken into account, seeking instrumental support lower Results previous findings...
Cognitive dysfunction associated with cancer is frequently reported and can reduce quality of life. This study evaluated a Web-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy program (eReCog) in survivors compared waitlist control group.Adult self-reported symptoms who had completed primary treatment at least 6 months prior were recruited. Participants telephone screening randomly allocated to the 4-week online intervention or waitlist. Primary outcome was perceived impairment assessed Functional...
Abstract Aims We aimed to investigate phenotypic and genomic traits of three Cupriavidus spp. isolates recovered from people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF). These bacteria are recognised as emerging pathogens in PWCF. Methods Results Using short long sequencing reads, we assembled hybrid complete genomes for the genus Cupriavidus, adding 45 published currently, describing multipartite plasmids. The likely represent different species, they carry a cumulative total 30 ARGs high homology...
This study investigated coping and quality of life in men with prostate cancer (n= 105, 48-86 years age) their partners 85, 48-84 years). Participants completed the Abbreviated Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Brief COPE, European Organisation for Research Treatment Cancer Core Quality Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) open-ended questions on appraisal coping. Multivariate analyses showed that better was associated higher education levels (role functioning fatigue), lower avoidant (emotional, social,...
This study aimed to improve understanding of prostate and breast cancer survivors' physical activity nutrition the association these behaviours with two models. The first model, Commonsense Self-Regulation Model (CSM), addresses cognitive emotional perceptions illness whereas Transtheoretical (TTM) focuses on stage readiness engage in a behaviour. Participants who had been diagnosed either (n = 145) or 92) completed measures demographic health information, representations, change,...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy a web-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention in survivors adult-onset cancer and sample non-cancer community dwelling adults. Fifty-one participants were recruited allocated group, or waitlist group. Intervention groups completed 4-week online program all assessed at baseline, post-intervention 3-month follow-up. primary outcome measure subjective functioning. Secondary measures included objective functioning, distress, quality life...
