PURPOSE To determine whether prophylactic use of compression sleeves prevents arm swelling in women who had undergone axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer surgery. METHODS Women (n = 307) were randomly assigned to either a or control group. In addition usual postoperative care, the group received two wear postoperatively until 3 months after completing adjuvant treatments. Arm was determined using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) thresholds and relative volume increase (RAVI)....
Abstract Women at high inherited risk of ovarian cancer are offered risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) from age 35 to 45 years. Although potentially life‐saving, RRSO may induce symptoms that negatively affect quality life and impair long‐term health. Clinical care following is often suboptimal. This scoping review describes how affects short‐ health provides evidence‐based international consensus recommendations for preoperative counselling disease prevention. includes the efficacy...
Background: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is commonly used for the detection and monitoring of lymphedema potentially lipedema. BIS measures limb electrical resistance, which decreases with fluid accumulation in these conditions. R0, index extracellular lymph accumulation, typically estimated using Cole modeling, but technical biological factors can affect accuracy. Methods: Participants clinically affirmed bilateral leg lymphedema, lipedema, self-ascribed swelling, healthy controls were...
Abstract Objective The aim of the study is to identify appropriate definitions and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for each eight core outcomes previously selected genitourinary symptoms associated with menopause: pain sex, vulvovaginal dryness, discomfort or irritation, when urinating, change in most bothersome symptom, distress, bother interference symptoms, satisfaction treatment, side effects. Methods We conducted a systematic review possible PROMs, including their measurement...
Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common complication of breast cancer treatment that may result in swelling the affected arm due to compromised lymphatic function. Implementing screening program and early intervention for BCRL are important effective management. Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) commonly used tool assessing BCRL. This study aimed compare different normative ranges BIS L-Dex scores detection
Abstract Objective The aim of the study is to identify suitable definitions and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess each six core outcomes previously identified through COMMA (Core Outcomes in Menopause) global consensus process relating vasomotor symptoms: frequency, severity, distress/bother/interference, impact on sleep, satisfaction with treatment, side effects. Methods A systematic review was conducted relevant for side-effects PROMs acceptable measurement properties...
Background: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) devices are routinely used in the assessment of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). The equipotential electrode placement is a commonly protocol for BCRL. However, sternal notch also use. Whether these two protocols interchangeable not known. Methods and Results: Ethical approval was received from institutional ethics committee at Tata Memorial Hospital, India. BIS measurements (whole-body right side affected unaffected arms) 100 women with or...
There has been a growing interest in the use of ketamine following orthopedic surgeries. We hypothesized that low dose intravenous during surgery would help mobilization total knee replacement (TKR) oncology patients as assessed by timed to up and go (TUG) test at 72.áhours post-surgery. Our secondary objectives were compare opioid requirement end 72.áhours, pain scores, satisfaction with management, adverse effects, range joint movement achieved post-operative period functional recovery 1...
