Curr Oncol. 2018 12;25(6):358-365 Authors: Rutkowski NA, Lebel S, Richardson K, Mutsaers B, Chasen M, Feldstain A Abstract Background: Social support has been shown to buffer some difficulties of living with advanced cancer. The Palliative Rehabilitation Program (prp) was an interdisciplinary outpatient program offering post-treatment palliative rehabilitation to patients with advanced cancer. Social support was directly integrated into the program. The aim of the present study was to examine the types and sources of social support that patients found most beneficial. Methods: Twelve patients participated in 30-minute…

Gynecol Obstet Fertil Senol. 2019 02;47(2):197-213 Authors: Ferron G, Narducci F, Pouget N, Touboul C Abstract Debulking surgery is the key step of advanced stage ovarian cancer treatment with chemotherapy. The quality of surgical resection is the main prognosis factor, thus a complete resection must be achieved (grade A) in an expert center (grade B). Surgery for stage IV is…

Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2019 Mar 20;89(1): Authors: Tourkmani N Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a life-limiting condition, associated with high morbidity. End-stage, known as advanced heart failure (AHF), is more common among the elderly. HF patients’ disease trajectory is more variable and unpredictable than the trajectory for most oncologic illnesses. Despite a growing armamentarium of resources the management of AHF patients can be complex. Advances in medical therapy have dramatically improved the quality of life and survival of patients with end-stage HF. The majority of studies reveal lack…

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2017 04;153(4):947-955 Authors: Anderson BR, Blancha VL, Duchon JM, Chai PJ, Kalfa D, Bacha EA, Krishnamurthy G, Ratner V Abstract OBJECTIVES: Our primary objective was to test the effects of first postoperative hematocrit on early shunt occlusion for children undergoing systemic to pulmonary artery shunt placement. Because any intervention to reduce shunt occlusion is only beneficial if it reduces mortality or is, at least, mortality neutral, we also tested the effects of first postoperative hematocrit on in-hospital mortality. METHODS: We…

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2017 06;153(6):1479-1487.e1 Authors: Haller C, Chetan D, Saedi A, Parker R, Van Arsdell GS, Honjo O Abstract OBJECTIVE: The interdigitating technique in aortic arch reconstruction in hypoplastic left heart syndrome and variants (HLHS) reduces the recoarctation rate. Little is known on aortic arch growth characteristics and resulting clinical impact. METHODS: A total of 139 patients with HLHS underwent staged palliation between 2007 and 2014; 73 patients underwent arch reconstruction. Dimensions of ascending aorta, transverse arch, interdigitating anastomosis, and…
