Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare the decisions critical for survival or quality of life [critical decisions (CDs)] made for patients with advanced dementia in nursing homes (NHs) and home care (HC) services. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study with a follow-up of 6 months. SETTING: Lombardy Region (NHs) and Reggio-Emilia and Modena Districts (HC), Italy. PARTICIPANTS: Patients (496 total; 315 in NHs and 181 in HC) with advanced dementia (Functional Assessment Staging Tool score >/= 7) and expected survival >/= 2 weeks. MEASUREMENTS: At baseline, the patients' demographic data, date of admission and of dementia diagnosis, type of dementia, main comorbidities, presence of pressure sores, ongoing treatments, and current prescriptions were abstracted from clinical records. At baseline and every 15 days thereafter, information regarding the patients' general condition and CDs (deemed critical by the doctor or team) was collected by an interview with the doctor. For each CD, the physician reported the problem that led to the decision, that was eventually made, the purpose of the decision, whether the decision had been discussed with and/or communicated to the family, who made the final decision, whether the decision was maintained after 1 week, whether it corresponded to what the doctor would have judged appropriate, and the expected survival of the patient (

Abstract

The contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis (CAM) from breast cancer are very rare, and pose a number of classification problems and therefore also on the surgery attitude to be adopted and the subsequent surgical oncological approach, making a distinction between synchronous and metachronous cases. You must always wait for a reasonable period of time to exclude the presence of an occult cancer in the contralateral breast. You make assumptions about the lymphatic pathways that determine this metastasis underlining that in the literature (rare) cases are reported in which the lymphoscintigraphic sentinel lymph node search has shown an uptake of contralateral axillary lymph nodes.Breast cancer, Controlateral axillary lymph node metastasis, Lymph node metastasis.

64. Artificial physical chemistry : analysis and design of networking and communication systems

Author

Monti, Massimo, Luise, Marco, Bugnion, Edouard, and Debbah, Mérouane

Abstract

In this thesis, we use concepts, principles, and theoretical results from Physical Chemistry to engineer communication and networking systems. We focus on system dynamics and exploit laws from chemical kinetics in order to govern the dynamics of a communication network. This is achieved by orchestrating the interactions among network nodes by means of “artificial chemistries”. We provide a new perspective on traditional issues concerning the design, the formal analysis and the deployment of distributed algorithms and communication protocols, ultimately leading to programmable network dynamics with provable properties. Specifically, (i) we introduce a class of chemistry-inspired flow controllers that can easily be customized to accommodate many requirements of network (resource) management, such as distributed coordination of flow aggregates, capacity allocation, access regulations and service differentiation among user flows or flow bundles. (ii) We show the benefit of the chemical approach in designing solutions to the “distributed consensus problem” for wireless sensor networks. After having designed and analyzed the required interaction rules “on paper”, we use the derived communication protocol in a hardware testbed. Salient features of this minimalistic setup are mainly three. Nodes achieve consensus based only on asynchronously emitted RF pulses. No media access control is used. The protocol works in an embodied fashion by exploiting subtle timing differences and without recurring to symbolic information. (iii) Finally, in order to demonstrate the use of Chemistry-driven mechanisms also for high performance tasks (e.g., high-rate packet-pacing), we describe the implementation of artificial chemistries on an FPGA-based hardware. At the same time, we provide an abstraction for designing runtime-programmable hardware controllers.

Abstract

The Authors refer their experience of a patient operated for adenoma of the inferior parathyroid of left lobe associated to a limphoadenopathy fom HD. Diagnostic and therapeutical approach are described. The literature of these last decades reports a single case with similar characteristics, but not with the same association. Numerous neoplasias associated more frequently with parathyroid adenoma are mentioned and the probable causes of this association. Although the associations with other affections of the hemolymphopoietic system are relatively frequent, the causes of the rarity of the association between parathiroid adenoma and HD remain unknown.

76. Force-Based Navigation in Wireless Sensornets

Author

Talzi Igor, Monti Massimo, Meyer Thomas, and Tschudin Christian

Abstract

Certain scenario oriented network tasks require a nontraditional approach to routing. This happens when routing should become aware of the node’s state defined beyond the network layer (e.g. sensed value current physical location etc.). In this paper we present an approach that helps software elements to navigate through the network based on the metaphors of fields and forces known from physics. The elements encapsulate logic to make a decision on the next move in the dynamic environment that is formed by overlapping interacting fields and represent a physical value (e.g. fire) or a role (e.g. sink node). As a result the force is induced on a node which pushes the element in a certain direction towards or even away from the field source. We illustrate the feasibility of our solution using an emergency evacuation scenario for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). We show that our system is simple yet provides more flexibility and functionality than existing counterparts.

Abstract

Background: Higher survival rates for breast cancer patients have led to concerns in dealing with short- and long-term side effects. The most common complications are impairment of shoulder functions, pain, lymphedema, and dysesthesia of the injured arm; psychological consequences concern: emotional distress, anxiety, and depression, thereby, deeply impacting/affecting daily living activity, and health-related quality of life.Objective: To perform a systematic review for assessing the efficacy or effectiveness of interventions aiming at improving health-related quality of life, return to daily activity, and correct lifestyles among breast cancer patients.Methods: A literature search was conducted in December 2016 using the databases PubMed and Scopus. Search terms included: (counseling) AND (breast cancer) AND (quality of life). Articles on counseling interventions to improve quality of life, physical and psychological outcomes were included.Results: Thirty-five articles met the inclusion criteria. The interventions were grouped in five main areas: concerning lifestyle counseling interventions, related to combined interventions (physical activity and nutritional counseling), physical therapy, peer counseling, multidisciplinary approach, included psychological, psycho-educational interventions, and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). Exercise counseling as well as physical therapy are effective to improve shoulder mobility, healing wounds, and limb strength. Psychological therapies such as psychoeducation and CBT may help to realize a social and psychological rehabilitation.Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach can help in sustaining and restoring impaired physical, psychosocial, and occupational outcomes of breast cancer patients.

Abstract

According to the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), a Cancer Stem Cell is a cell within a tumor that possesses the capacity to self-renew and to cause the heterogeneous lineages of cancer cells that constitutes the tumor [1]. Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are involved in the metastatic process, in the resistance to therapeutic treatments of many types of human cancers and consequently in the onset of recurrences. Numerous translational studies have been conducted to understand CSC characteristics and evaluate association between CSC-related biomarkers and clinical outcomes. The CSC theory can explain also a tumor relapse after that a tumor has been completely surgically removed (R0 macroscopical zero residual resection) or after an apparently complete response to chemotherapy. CSCs, in fact, showed a marked ability to reduce intracellular accumulation of chemotherapic agents by active drug extrusion, increased chemoresistance and survival, as well as elevated membrane transporter activity. In addition, it is possible that these cancer stem cells may nest in the "secured" (niche) sites of our body, where they may remain undisturbed for a long time, even years, until a stimulus arrives to awaken them, causing the disease to resume. CSCs, in fact, are able to use a variety of cellular pathways to survive to anticancer treatments. More recently CSCs have been described in several solid tumors, expressing specific biomarkers. Another field of research should be focused on the realization of diagnostic instruments to follow up patients after R0 surgical resection or after a complete response for an early detection and management of relapse and metastasis.

Abstract

Rationale: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in cell membrane may influence breast cancer (BC) patients' prognosis, affecting tumor cells sensitivity to chemo- and radio-therapy and likely modulating inflammation. The possibility of identifying BC patients presenting with low DHA levels and/or low ability of DHA incorporation into cell membrane might help to treat this condition. Methods: We enrolled BC patients and healthy controls, recording their seafood dietary intake. DHA in form of algal oil was administered for 10 consecutive days (2 g/day). Blood samples were collected at baseline (T0) and after 10 days of supplementation (T1) to assess DHA, omega-3 index, as the sum of DHA + eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), in red blood cells (RBC) membranes and plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 levels. Pre- and post-treatment fatty acid profiles were obtained by gas-chromatography. Parametric and non-parametric tests were performed, as appropriate, and P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Forty-three women were studied, divided into 4 groups: 11 patients with BRCA1/2 gene mutation (M group), 12 patients with familiar positive history for BC (F group), 10 patients with sporadic BC (S group), and 10 healthy controls (C group). DHA and omega-3 index increased from T0 to T1 in the 3 groups of BC patients and in controls (P < 0.001). No difference was found in DHA incorporation between each group of BC patients and between patients and controls, except for M group, which incorporated higher DHA levels with respect to controls (b = 0.42; P = 0.03). No association was documented between cytokines levels and DHA and omega- 3 index at baseline and after DHA supplementation. Independent of the presence of BC, women considered as "good seafood consumers" showed at baseline DHA and omega-3 index higher with respect to "low seafood consumers" (P = 0.04; P = 0.007, respectively). After supplementation, the increase in DHA levels was greater in "low seafood consumers" with respect to "good seafood consumers" (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: DHA supplementation was associated with increased DHA levels and omega-3 index in RBC membranes of BC cancer patients, independent of the type of BC presentation, and in controls. BRCA1/2 mutation, as well as low seafood consuming habits in both BC patients and healthy controls, seem to be associated with greater ability of DHA incorporation. Larger samples of BC patients are necessary to confirm our observation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
