Behavioral symptoms in breast cancer (BC) survivors have been attributed to cancer treatment and resulting inflammation. However, studies linking behavioral symptoms to BC treatment have observed patients only after some treatment. Our prospective study with pre-treatment baseline investigates post-treatment changes in inflammation-related biomarkers and whether those changes correlate with changes in symptoms.

We sought to predict oxaliplatin-associated peripheral neuropathy during modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) therapy.

To investigate the risk of COPD among nonsmokers.

Children with a perforated or gangrenous appendix become clinically stable after medical and/or surgical therapy but often remain in the hospital solely to complete parenteral antibiotic therapy. This prospective study investigates the outcomes when children who meet specified criteria are discharged to complete parenteral antibiotic therapy at home.

To estimate the incidence of acuterespiratory failure (ARF) in the United States and to analyze 31-dayhospital mortality among a cohort of patients with ARF.

ABSTRACTCompared to the general population, U.S. prison inmates have a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and an elevated incidence of the resulting acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Inmates at highest risk of being HIV-positive are those with a pre-incarceration history of intravenous drug use. In some state prison systems, AIDS has become the leading cause of death among inmates. Prisoners have a constitutional right to adequate health care, interpreted by many to include voluntary HIV testing and treatment to delay the onset of AIDS. More research is needed in order to better design and fund HIV testing treatment, and risk-reduction programs for inmates. To this end, a research agenda is outlined.
