Aim: This study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 3-4, in contact with or without contact, with a specialized palliative care unit (PCU) at a low-resource governmental cancer hospital, as well as studying the impact of this contact on the QoL in their caregivers. Materials and Methods: Hospitalized patien
Background: Although global neonatal mortality declined by about 40 percent from 1990 to 2013, it still accounted for about 2.6 million deaths globally and constituted 42 percent of global under-five deaths. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries. Antenatal care (ANC) is a globally recommended strategy used to prevent neonatal deaths. In Kenya, over 90 percent of pregnant women attend
The kinetics for the reactions between the complexes PtCln(H2O)4-n 2−n, n = 0,1,2,3,4, (including cis- and trans-isomers for n = 2) and ethene have been studied. In the case of trans-PtCl2(H2O)2, product analysis shows that both the chloride ligand and the aqua ligand are substituted by ethene in two parallel paths, differing in rate by a factor of 1.5 only. The experiments show that ethene, and p
This study follows on from a network-based assessment redesign project at a Canadian university, to investigate factors relating to academic engagement and sustained implementation. The project was designed with mini-grants, embedded support and a community of practice. Assessment facilitators worked in discipline clusters to achieve mutual goals for assessment reform targeted at authentic develo
BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) occurs in different molecular forms in serum: free PSA (fPSA) and complexed PSA (cPSA), the sum of which corresponds to total PSA (tPSA). In addition to tPSA, percent fPSA is widely used in the detection of prostate cancer. Free PSA, approximately 28 kDa, is eliminated by glomerular filtration. Previous data showed that men with end-stage renal dysfuncti
This research comment makes an argument on the need to develop epistemic communities of belonging. These are spaces facilitating conversations about and enabling transformative ethico-political research. A research practice that can invoke attentiveness, responsibility, curiosity, and awareness to the field we study. Rather than answering what we should do as intellectual activists to maintain eth
Pulmonary fibrosis remains a devastating and often fatal condition due to the lack of effective treatments that halt disease progression. Rodent models of pulmonary fibrosis are crucial to identify candidate targets and novel therapeutic agents. However, the attrition rate of novel drug candidates in clinical trials remains high. This review suggests complementing traditional methods used to evalu
Background Population-based studies have indicated an increase in bone turnover in hyperthyroidism with a subsequent decrease in bone mineral density and an increased risk of fractures, especially in postmenopausal women. However, heterogeneity between studies prevents a definitive conclusion. Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease, and it is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. The ai
Background. The debate about increased welfare and health service costs is well-known in relation to the growing ageing population. Over the past thirty years, ageing in place has been the guiding principle for policies concerning older people and housing in Sweden and other Western countries. Sweden is among the countries in the European Union and internationally whose populations have the longes
Background: The drive for home care has increasingly impacted the organization and allocation of resources within the Swedish healthcare system. Objectives: With an interest in uncovering prerequisites for palliative care, this study aimed to investigate longitudinal trends in place of death within the adult Swedish population from 2013 to 2019 and examine potential associations between place of d
This article examines the economic incentives for Europeans to migrate to the so-called 'white man's grave' of West Africa. Ignorance and coercion have been proposed as explanations for migration to high mortality areas. We use data on the Royal African Company and their European employees on the Gold Coast during the period 1707-1740. We found that the employees received a premium above the wage
-The purpose of this work is to investigate and identify the most efficacious methods to optimize train maintenance and operations during winter months. The study analyzes scheduled and unscheduled maintenance problems during winter months and considers various options on how to streamline current methods and procedures by identifying key areas and addressing optimization.
