This study aims to assess the rate of pathological complete response (pCR) in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy and explore its correlation with clinical, molecular, prognostic factors. We conducted this retrospective observational at Liga Contra o Câncer, a major public oncology reference center Northeast Brazil. included diagnosed who initiated between June 2018 2019. Patients history recurrent or those did not undergo surgery were excluded. The primary outcome was pCR...
Abstract Introduction Recent evidence underscores cardiac rehabilitation (CR) as essential for recovery and functional improvement after cardiovascular events. After completing a phase 2 CR program, patients are encouraged to progress 3 long-term program optimize their cardiorespiratory fitness. While the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is practical tool evaluating gains during CR, its utility in predicting outcomes remains unclear. Purpose To assess association between improvements VO2...
Abstract Introduction Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) Phase 3 acts as an extension to 2, encompassing a very heterogeneous patient population with structured exercise, nutrition counselling and educational sessions already established benefit in health outcomes among patients cardiovascular diseases. Purpose To characterize the enrolled phase CR program. Methods Single centre prospective cohort study of program between 2016 2024. We analysed demographic social characteristics, risk factors,...
Abstract Introduction The benefits of phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are well established with clear evidence showing improvement in health related quality life (HRQOL), functional capacity and morbi-mortality. HRQOL is a reflection the patient's perception their status, physical limitations symptom burden. Assessing it validated scales scores, provides useful objective measurements to plan future care, predict adherence response treatment. Purpose To examine impact CR using...
Abstract Introduction Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) plays a vital role in enhancing recovery and long-term outcomes for patients following cardiovascular events. However, adherence to CR programs often varies, which may influence the effectiveness of CR. Identifying factors that predict is essential optimize participation improve patient outcomes. Purpose To evaluate predictors phase 3 impact on clinical Methods Retrospective observational single-center study including enrolled program between...
12061 Background: Pain and deterioration in quality of life (QoL) are among the most common problematic symptoms reported by patients with late-stage lung cancer. Thus, cannabis sativa extract has been identified as a potencial adjuctive therapy for enhancing QoL managing symptoms, including oncology pain. Objective: The aim is to assess pain management locally advanced or metastatic cancer using extract. Methods: A randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III trial...
This paper follows the development of an inspection and diagnosis system for external cladding pitched roofs (ECPR) shows results that study with respect to design stage. It mainly focuses on how errors associated stage influence durability ECPR and, consequently, service life buildings. Design are a constant feature in ECPRs statistical-based approach founded significant sample was felt be best way fill remaining gaps knowledge this specific area, because there no similar studies...
Abstract Introduction The benefits of Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation is well-established in terms improving functional capacity, quality life, and even prognosis. impact a long-term exercise program less established. Purpose To assess the maintenance after on life. Methods A single-center cohort study was conducted, involving patients (pts) who completed phase CR at least 6 months prior to answered 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) telephonically. participants were categorized into groups...
Abstract Introduction Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after a coronary artery disease (CAD) event is recommended to improve risk factor control, as some of them remain poorly controlled (e.g. obesity, physical activity), while new ones are emerging sedentary behaviour). The aim our study was examine how traditional factors, activity and behaviour affect body fat mass in CAD patients. Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients entering community-based phase III CR were assessed for the...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background/Introduction Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) programs are an effective component recovery from cardiac events or revascularization procedures. The CR recommendations advise that cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients must be encouraged to improve their physical activity (PA) levels meet the current guidelines. However, sedentary behaviour (SB) in this population remains high during and following standard programs....
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the main reason for mortality in women, however there are well identified discrepancies between men and women attending cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) programs. Men usually more referred have higher adherence to CR programs than women. Understanding characteristics long-term might be useful better adapt motivate future with CVD adhere a scale. Purpose To describe phase III...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background After a phase II cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) program, disease (CVD) patients ideally continue to III long-term CR program. Enrolment, attendance rates and barriers are well established for or short-term programs (≤ 12 weeks). However, keeping CVD motivated with high (≥ 80%) in program (over 6 months) is more challenging. Self-Determination Theory states that internalized types behaviour regulation lead...
