Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in Indian females whether they are from urban or rural area. Quality of life after treatment in BC patients is a very vital issue as its assessment will guide the clinicians, hospital authorities, and administrators to take appropriate steps to improve the delivery of treatment and address the concern. Improvement in QOL should be one of the ultimate aims of treatment in BC. The aim of this review is to collect and examine literature available on QOL in breast cancer patients and define what type of issues or domains should be studied. Four factors including chemotherapy treatment received by the patient, associated comorbidities, social support to patients from family, friends, support groups, and income of family have been found to have a strong association with QOL in BC patients/survivors. QOL assessment should include an instrument which assesses physical health, social health, psychological health, and spiritual health. There are less studies having all above domains so more studies are required for better understanding of QOL issue in BC patients/survivors.

Wie erfolgreich ist eine Re-Ablation nach Rezidiv?

23.04.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Nach der Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern kommt es bei etwa einem Drittel der Patienten zu Rezidiven, meist binnen eines Jahres. Wie sich spätere Rückfälle auf die Erfolgschancen einer erneuten Ablation auswirken, haben Schweizer Kardiologen erforscht.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
