Sports injuries have historically been addressed and treated from a purely physical perspective. Nevertheless, like in many other aspects of sports, it has become evident during the last decades that psychological considerations consequent interventions are both vital inevitable work with athletes, particularly junior athletes. Especially domains sports injury prevention rehabilitation, measures can yield significant benefits for Stress management techniques, cognitive restructuring,...
Abstract Purpose Surgical complications such as hypoparathyroidism (HPT) or vocal cord palsy are seldom assessed when the quality of life (QOL) in thyroid cancer patients is investigated. The aim this study was to measure QOL difference survivors with and without HPT. Methods Participants for analysis were enrolled 13 countries from a that pilot-tested cancer–specific instrument. They included if they had been diagnosed at least 9 months previously. measured using European Organisation...
Abstract Aims To investigate the association between cumulative social disadvantage and cardiovascular burden mortality in a large cohort of general population. Methods results Cross-sectional (n = 15 010, aged 35 to 74 years, baseline investigation period 2007 2012) longitudinal data (5- 10-year follow-ups from 2012 2022) Gutenberg Health Study were used individual socioeconomic status (SES, measured via validated questionnaire) disease (CVD, composite atrial fibrillation, coronary artery...
Importance Generic health utility instruments lack the discriminative ability to differentiate among states in patients after head and neck cancer treatment. Objective To develop, validate, valuate a cancer−specific measure. Design, Setting, Participants This psychometric study comprised 2 phases develop validate instrument. The first phase, development validation, occurred from January 2021 August 2022. An expert panel selected disease-specific quality-of-life as basis for new Two datasets...
This study describes genetic differences in resistance/susceptibility to pseudorabies virus (PrV) between European Large White and Chinese Meishan pigs, with a mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) obtained from genome-wide scan F(2) animals. Eighty-nine pigs were challenged intranasally at 12 weeks 10(5) p.f.u. the wild-type PrV strain NIA-3. For QTL analysis, 85 microsatellite markers, evenly spaced on 18 porcine autosomes pseudoautosomal region X chromosome, genotyped. All developed...
Cancer patients have been shown to frequently suffer from financial burden before, during, and after treatment. However, the toxicity of with sarcoma has seldom assessed. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate whether is a problem for in Germany identify associated risk factors.Patients analysis were obtained multicenter prospective cohort conducted Germany. Using difficulties scale EORTC QLQ-C30, considered be present if score exceeded pre-defined threshold clinical importance. Comparisons...
Wenn über die Kosten einer Krebserkrankung gesprochen wird, geht es häufig um neuer Medikamente oder Behandlungsformen aus Sicht der Krankenkasse Gesellschaft. Die Patientenperspektive wird selten berücksichtigt. Dabei treten finanzielle Belastungen für Patienten und Patientinnen in verschiedensten Arten (objektive subjektive Belastungen) auf können sich negativ Lebensqualität sogar das Überleben auswirken. Zur Messung von subjektiver finanzieller Belastung gibt Deutschland aktuell kein...
Abstract Background Patients with hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) suffer from several complaints and reduced quality of life (QoL), even if disease-specific biochemical parameters are within the target range. To be able to quantify symptoms in HypoPT patients, we recently developed a questionnaire, Hypoparathyroidism Patient Questionnaire 28 items (HPQ28). The aim this study was find normative values for HPQ28 German general population. Methods We tasked an independent market social research...
Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is a rare endocrine disorder. Little known about what factors are associated with potential quality of life (QOL) impairments.HypoPT patients at minimum 6 months' post diagnosis were invited to participate in an online survey through their treating physician or self-help organisations METHODS: Impairments clinical importance QOL considered present if the score respective functioning scale European Organization for Research and Treatment Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) compared to general population and identify sociodemographic clinical factors that are associated symptom burden. Methods Patients a diagnosis hypoPT participated an online survey. Information regarding survey was distributed by treating physicians or self-help organization. Quality assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 burden Hypoparathyroid Patient Questionnaire (HPQ28). Multivariate linear...
High hydrostatic pressure is a mild technology compared with high temperatures and commonly used for food pasteurization. Crude brain homogenates of terminally diseased hamsters infected scrapie 263K strain were heated at 60 degrees C and/or pressurized up to 1000 MPa 2 h. Prion proteins analysed their proteinase K sensitivity using Western blot technique. PrP(Sc) 500 or above proved be sensitive. To test the remaining infectivity material, intracerebrally. Results showed greatly delayed...
Post-operative outcome after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis correlates strongly with pre-operative impairment-driven patient goals. However, a clinical tool for measuring goals correlation to impairments is still missing, which impedes patient-oriented indication TKA.Patients scheduled TKA were recruited four German hospitals. All patients handed INDICATE Knee Score pre-operatively. The score contains 31 respective impairments, subdivided into...
Rural out-migration is changing agrarian political economies and natural resource governance worldwide, gender social relations play an important mediating role. The aim of this study to investigate the impact rural on collective action in farmer-managed irrigation systems, with a particular focus household structure relations. We employ mixed-methods approach combining survey (n = 377) ten villages conducted early 2021 80 qualitative interviews, 12 group discussions participant observations...
