Related Articles Health care utilization by Adult Hispanic long-term Survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: report from the Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor Study. Cancer. 2008 Oct 2; Authors: Prasad PK, Sun CL, Baker KS, Francisco L, Forman S, Bhatia S, Shankar SM BACKGROUND.: Long-term hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) Survivors have a high prevalence of severe and chronic health conditions, placing significant demands on the healthcare system. The objective of the current study was to evaluate and compare the healthcare utilization by Adult Hispanic and non-Hispanic white long-term Survivors of HCT. METHODS.: A mailed questionnaire was used to assess self-reported healthcare utilization in 3 domains: general contact with healthcare system, general physical examination outside cancer center (GPE), and cancer/HCT center visit. Eligible individuals had undergone HCT between 1974 and 1998, at age >/=21 years, and had survived >/=2 years after HCT. RESULTS.: The cohort included 681 non-Hispanic white and 137 Hispanic Survivors. The median age at HCT was 38.3 years, and the median length of follow-up was 6.6 years. Hispanic Survivors had lower family income and education and were more likely to lack health insurance. The prevalence of GPE increased significantly over time among non-Hispanic whites (67% at 2-5 years to 76% at 11+ years) but remained unchanged among Hispanics (66% to 61%). Cancer/HCT center visits decli ... Source: www.hollywood.com --- 25 days ago

Related Articles Psychological effects of earthquakes in children: prospects for brief behavioral treatment. World J Pediatr. 2008 Aug;4(3):165-72 Authors: Salcioğlu E, Başoğlu M BACKGROUND: Treatment of child earthquake Survivors is a relatively less investigated issue in disaster research. A review of the evidence on the mental health effects of earthquakes, risk factors, and findings from treatment studies may provide useful insights into effective treatment of traumatized children. DATA SOURCES: Studies of child and adolescent earthquake Survivors included the PILOTS database (electronic index for literature on psychological trauma) and relevant evidence from various studies of Adult earthquake Survivors. RESULTS: Evidence points to elevated rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and earthquake-related fears in children and adolescents. Traumatic stress appears to be mediated by loss of control over fear induced by exposure to unpredictable and uncontrollable earthquakes. This implies that interventions enhancing sense of control over fear are likely to be most effective. Recent studies indeed show that a control focused behavioral treatment (CFBT) involving mainly encouragement for self-exposure to feared situations is highly effective in facilitating recovery from earthquake trauma. Evidence also suggests that CFBT can be delivered through booklets and similar media. CONCLUSIONS: Pilot studies suggest that CFB ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 1 day ago
Related Articles The influence of developmental life stage on quality of life in Survivors of prostate cancer and their partners. J Cancer Surviv. 2008 Jun;2(2):84-94 Authors: Harden J, Northouse L, Cimprich B, Pohl JM, Liang J, Kershaw T INTRODUCTION: Although prostate cancer is prevalent, little information is available on how it affects couples' quality of life (QOL) according to their age cohort. The purpose of this study was to examine how quality of life, self-efficacy and appraisal of the illness experience vary among men with prostate cancer and their partners according to age cohort: middle age (50-64); young-old (65-74); and old-old (75-84). Using an Adult Developmental and Family Stress framework, this study focuses on how normative (developmental stage) and non-normative stressors (prostate cancer) may affect a couple's ability to adapt. METHODS: A descriptive, comparative design was used to examine age-related differences in quality of life and selected psychosocial variables in 69 men with prostate cancer and their spouses. Cross-sectional data were obtained using standardized instruments with adequate reliability and validity. ANCOVA and MANCOVA were used to determine differences among age groups. RESULTS: Findings indicated that patients who were ages 65-74 had better QOL and higher self-efficacy than patients ages 50-64 and less negative appraisal of illness than the other two groups. Spouses ages 50-64 reported the m ... Source: uk.reuters.com --- 17 days ago

SUNDAY, Sept. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Women who had a lumpectomy and radiation to combat breast cancer have an overall quality of life several years after treatment that's on par with most Adult American women, a new report says. "Treatments for breast cancer may decrease quality of life temporarily, but this is evidence that Survivors, on average, will return to a normal quality of life," lead researcher Dr. Gary Freedman, an attending physician in the department of radiation oncology at Philadelphia's Fox Chase Cancer Center, said in a news release issued by the center. The findings, based on a survey of 1,050 women with early-stage breast cancer who were treated with breast-conserving surgery and radiation with or without chemotherapy and hormone therapy, were expected to be presented Sunday at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology annual meeting, in Boston. The brief survey, taken by the women at various points in their follow-up -- from three months to 15 years after treatment -- found the breast cancer Survivors across all age groups said they had a very high quality of life and state of health comparable to the general U.S. female population. Over the years, the Survivors tended more often to say they experienced no or only some problems. For three questions dealing with anxiety, pain and the ability to do usual activities, the Survivors tended to improve from reporting "some problems" to "no problems" ...

When LucasArts first announced Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the game where continuity is tussled in order to introduce a secret apprentice to Darth Vader, gamers were excited, and hardcore Star Wars fans were a little outraged. Star Wars continuity is not something you want to screw with unless you're George Lucas himself, and even then they're not too sure about it. Now time has passed, emotions have settled somewhat, and what is essentially the next installment of the epic Star Wars story is upon us. Has LucasArts managed to appease both gamers and Star Wars junkies, or have they left both groups out in the cold? The game critics tally midi-chlorians, after the jump. G4 X-Play This is a surprisingly Adult take on Star Wars, and uncompromisingly depicts a very dark Galaxy Far Far Away, as befits the time period. The early part of the narrative deals with Vader sending Starkiller to hunt down Survivors of the Jedi-exterminating Order 66, but events quickly unfold that change the course of galactic history. The Force Unleashed makes some very interesting things canon, both in terms of the storyline and the characters and elements it uses. You also get to see Vader acting like the merciless villain that Anakin never really was, even in Episode III. TeamXbox in some places the execution is really off, making the game terribly frustrating in some moments and downright dull in others. Sometimes you’ll be left scratching your head a ...
Speaking the truth about domestic violence is a step toward healing for all Survivors. But when talking about violence brings shame, ambivalence, and fear, art therapy gives Survivors not only a voice, but also is a way to raise consciousness about the profound effects of battering and all forms of abuse between partners. While I have no explanation for the psychology behind the current financial crisis, as a therapist I am certain of one psychological effect of an economic turndown -- an increase in domestic violence. In this time of economic uncertainty, job loss, home foreclosures, and increased costs of living, pressures mount in families and frayed tempers inevitably will give way to an increase in battering and abuse. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline , domestic violence is a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person may all be part of the dynamics, including any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure or wound another individual. While domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, or gender, for the past 25 years I have worked with Adult women and child Survivors and mostly those who have found refuge in shelters ...
