Acquired cerebellar lesions in adults and children can lead to the development of a complex behavioural pattern termed 'Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome' (Schmahmann Sherman, Brain, 1998; 121: 561-79), which is characterized by reduced cognitive efficiency associated with specific neuropsychological deficits (executive visuospatial disorders), expressive language disorders (mild agrammatism anomia) affective blunting affect. It not known whether symptomatological picture such as this...
The typical presentation of semantic dementia is associated with marked, left predominant anterior temporal lobe atrophy and changes in language. About 30% individuals, however, present right atrophy, usually accompanied by behavioural prosopagnosia. Here, we aimed to establish whether these initially distinct clinical presentations evolve into a similar syndrome at the neural level. Thirty-one patients who presented were included. Based on imaging, categorized as either ( n = 22) or 9)...
<h3>Objective</h3> To investigate whether a 2-week treatment with cerebellar anodal and spinal cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could reduce symptoms in patients neurodegenerative ataxia modulate cerebello-motor connectivity at the short long terms. <h3>Methods</h3> We performed double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, crossover trial cerebello-spinal tDCS (5 d/wk for 2 weeks) 20 ataxia. Each patient underwent clinical evaluation before after real or sham...
Abstract Lung cancer patients generally receive several information regarding their illness characteristics and available intervention. Therefore, can experience confusion, leading to anxiety distress that might damage the relationship with physicians treatment adherence. Literature showed implementing decision aid tools during consultation promote patients’ knowledge awareness about lung oncological intervention, improving a shared decision-making process. However, not all always appreciate...
Although breast cancer screening can benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is still unknown whether, to which extent or under conditions, the use of AI going be accepted by general population. The aim our study evaluate what females who are eligible for know about and how they perceive such innovation.We used a prospective survey consisting 11-multiple-choice questionnaire evaluating statistical associations with Chi-Square-test Fisher-exact-test. Multinomial-logistic-regression was...
Background The second leading cause of death in Italy is cancer. Substantial disparities persist the level care and outcomes for cancer patients across various communities, hospitals, regions Italy. While substantial progress has been made medical research treatment options, these advancements tend to disproportionately benefit wealthier, better-educated, more privileged areas portions population. Therefore, primary aim current study explore possible reasons inequalities access utilisation...
Chronic pain (CP) and its management are critical issues in the care pathway of patients with breast cancer. Considering complexity CP experience cancer, international scientific community has advocated identifying cutting-edge approaches for management. Recent advances field health technology enable adoption a novel approach to by developing integrated ecosystems mobile apps.The primary end point this pilot study is evaluate patients' usability at 3 months new digital technological...
The implementation of psycho-oncological support has shown important results in positively influencing treatment outcomes and quality life cancer patients survivors. In the last few decades, importance mental health been brought to attention general public healthcare professionals on a national, institutional organisational level. Official guidelines, policies, training programs have developed suggesting that should be considered as non-negotiable requirement for care many hospitals clinical...
Introduction Health disparities represent a crucial factor in cancer survival rates, awareness, quality of life, and mental health people receiving diagnosis their families. Income, education, geographic location, ethnicity are some the most important underlying reasons for across Europe. Costs healthcare, access to information, psycho-oncological support options, integration research innovative care, multidisciplinary teams main target areas when it comes addressing context. As part Beacon...
Subgraph matching is the problem of finding all occurrences a small graph, called query, in larger target. Although has been widely studied simple graphs, few solutions have proposed for multigraphs, which two nodes can be connected by multiple edges, each denoting possibly different type relationship. In our new algorithm MultiGraphMatch, and edges associated with labels properties. MultiGraphMatch introduces novel data structure bit matrix to efficiently index both query target filter set...
Early diagnosis and effective treatments have favored the survival of cancer patients but also generated adverse consequences including cognitive impairment psychological distress, which are related to both disease progression side effects pharmacological agents. However, there is little data in literature concerning such with lung cancer. Here, we describe protocol a study aiming investigate occurrence non-small-cell small-cell undergoing adjuvant therapies or surgery year following...
ABSTRACT Background Cancer clinical trials often employ exclusion criteria that can impact vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with psychological, psychiatric, or neurological conditions. Aims This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and nature of in for prostate, breast, lung cancers. Methods The EU Clinical Trials Register identified 51 protocols uploaded between 2022 2024. Thematic content analysis categorized criteria, justifications provided, while frequency quantified...
Abstract Background Accessing comprehensive oncological data is essential for efficient and quality healthcare delivery research. However, obstacles, such as fragmentation privacy concerns which may hold back progress in this area, exist. The Cancer Care Beacon project addresses these barriers consolidating information across the 27 member states of European Union (EU) with goal creating a wiki free online repository. Methods involves thorough collection from various sources, including...
Equity in healthcare remains a pressing issue cancer care across the European Union. Although numerous initiatives address prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment, significant disparities access to innovative therapies persist. Time-to-reimbursement for new anticancer drugs varies widely between member states, depending on national health policies, economic capacity, infrastructure. These differences particularly affect countries Central Eastern Europe, where delays reimbursement, limited...
Chronic pain is one of the most common and critical long-term effects breast cancer. Digital health technologies enhance management chronic by monitoring physical psychological status supporting self-management patient treatment decisions throughout clinical pathway.
