Intermittent fasting (IF) protects against the development of metabolic diseases and cancer, but whether it can prevent diabetic microvascular complications is not known. In
Abstract Purpose To examine racial and ethnic disparities in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) older adults with breast cancer, both pre- post-diagnosis. Methods Using the SEER-MHOS database, we included patients ≥ 65 years old cancer who completed Health Outcomes Survey within 24 months post-diagnosis, were non-Hispanic White, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black African American, Hispanic. HRQOL data was measured via Physical Mental Component Summary (PCS, MCS). Univariable multivariable...
Preventing malnutrition during chemoradiation (CRT) for head and neck cancer is critical maximizing quality of life (QOL). We sought to assess patient-reported QOL outcomes after integrating exclusive liquid meal replacement with Soylent, a novel agent, in patients undergoing CRT. Patients definitive or adjuvant concurrent CRT locally advanced enrolled on our single-institution, prospective phase II protocol evaluating nutritional Soylent. who reached 5% body weight loss were transitioned...
Almost 80% of the 4 billion projected increase in world population by 2100 comes from 37 Mid-African Countries (MACs), caused mostly slow declines Total Fertility Rate (TFR). Historically, TFR has declined response to increases wellbeing associated with economic development. We show that, when Infant Survival (ISR, a proxy for wellbeing) increased, MAC fertility at same rate, relation ISR, as it did 61 comparable Other Developing (ODCs) whose average is close replacement level. If ISR were...
To establish the safety and efficacy of gantry-mounted linear accelerator-based stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for low- intermediate-risk prostate cancer.We pooled 921 patients enrolled on 7 single-institution prospective phase II trials gantry-based SBRT from 2006 to 2017. The cumulative incidences biochemical recurrence (defined by Phoenix definition) physician-scored genitourinary (GU) gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities per original using Common Terminology Criteria Adverse...
To develop and evaluate a fast patient localization tool using megavoltage (MV)-topogram on helical tomotherapy.Eighty-one MV-topogram pairs for 18 pelvis patients undergoing radiation were acquired weekly under an institutional review board-approved clinical trial. The imaging protocol requires 2 orthogonal acquisitions at static gantry angles of 0 degrees 90 programed scan length. A MATLAB based in-house software was developed to reconstruct the MV-topograms offline. Reference images...
