Twenty-five percent (n = 102) of patients had scores ≥3. The cut-point of ≥3 was significantly associated with identifying high-risk patients (HRP; χ2 = 32.3, p less then 0.01), defined as those who died or were palliatively discharged, with a sensitivity and specificity of 63.9% and 78.9%, respectively. Survey questions with the highest overall impact included "Would you be not surprised if the patient died within 12 months?," "Are there uncontrolled symptoms?," and "Is there functional decline/wasting?" Conclusions This pilot study demonstrates that the "Step-One" trigger tool is a simple and effective method to identify HRP in resource-limited settings. Although this study identified three highly effective questions, the seven-question assessment is flexible and can be adapted to different settings.Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequently occurring tumors worldwide. Herein, we established a microRNA (miRNA) predicting signature to assess the prognosis of papillary-type RCC (PRCC) patients. miR-1293, miR-34a, miR-551b, miR-937, miR-299, and miR-3199-2 were used in building the overall survival (OS)-related signature, whereas miR-7156, miR-211, and miR-301b were used to construct the formula of recurrence-free survival (RFS) with the help of LASSO Cox regression analysis. The Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic curves indicated good discrimination and efficiency of the two signatures. Functional annotation for the downstream genes of the OS/RFS-related miRNAs exposed the potential mechanisms of PRCC. Notably, the multivariate analyses suggested that the two signatures were independent risk factors for PRCC patients and had better prognostic capacity than any other classifier. In addition, the nomogram indicated synthesis effects and showed better predictive performance than clinicopathologic features and our signatures. We validated the OS and RFS prediction formulas in clinical samples and met our expectations. Finally, we established two novel miRNA-based OS and RFS predicting signatures for PRCC, which are reliable tools for assessing the prognosis of PRCC patients.Objectives Goal setting and motivational interviewing (MI) may increase well-being by promoting healthy behavior. Since we failed to show improved well-being in a proactive assessment service for community-dwelling older adults applying these techniques, we studied whether implementation processes could explain this. Methods Goals set during the comprehensive geriatric assessment were evaluated on their potential for behavior change. MI and goal setting adherence wasassessed by reviewing audiotaped interactions and interviewing care professionals. Results Among the 280 goals set with 230 frail older adults (mean age 77 ± 6.9 years, 59% women), more than 90% had a low potential for behavior change. Quality thresholds for MI were reached in only one of the 11 interactions. Application was hindered by the context and the limited proficiency of care professionals. Discussion Implementation was suboptimal for goal setting and MI. This decreased the potential for improved well-being in the participating older adults.Nodular fasciitis is usually a benign lesion genetically characterized by ubiquitin-specific protease 6 (USP6) rearrangements. We present a case of a 10-year-old boy with a 1.5-week history of a painless mass on the right chest wall, which was excised. A histomorphologically malignant tumor with pronounced pleomorphism, atypical mitotic figures, and a myoid immunophenotype was observed. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lenalidomide-s1029.html The methylation profile was consistent with nodular fasciitis and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed USP6 rearrangement. Using Archer Fusion Plex (Sarcoma Panel) and RNA sequencing, a collagen, type VI, alpha 2 (COL6A2)-USP6 gene fusion was subsequently identified. Furthermore, DNA clustering analysis also showed a match with nodular fasciitis. During the follow-up of 22 months, no recurrence or metastasis occurred. In conclusion, we describe a clinically benign, histomorphologically malignant mesenchymal neoplasm with a myoid immunophenotype, and a genetic and epigenetic profile consistent with nodular fasciitis. In such cases, molecular analysis is a useful adjunct to avoid unnecessary overtreatment.Objectives Commentaries have suggested that initial emphasis on the higher susceptibility and mortality rates of older adults to COVID-19 has instigated ageism within the public discourse and policy decisions. Using the health belief model, the current study examined ageism in interaction with other factors influencing intention to social distance. Methods Threat of contracting COVID-19, benefits and barriers to social distancing, benevolent and hostile ageism, and intention to social distance were examined in 960 adults (M = 37.81 years, SD = 11.65). Results Benevolent and hostile ageism were significant moderators for both perceived threat and barriers on intent to social distance; hostile ageism also moderated benefits on intent to social distance. Discussion The current study demonstrates how ageism influences behavior during a pandemic. With initial reports of COVID-19 presenting older adults as a homogenous group, ageism negatively interacted with intention to social distance and may place older adults at greater risk.Objectives Framed within a life course perspective and cognitive reserve theory, this study examined the mediating role of educational attainment for the association between child-parent relationships during childhood and cognitive function among older adults in rural China. Methods Data were obtained from three waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (N = 9809). We employed latent growth curve modeling to test the association among early child-parent relationship quality, educational attainment, and cognitive function in later life. Results Early child-mother relationship quality was associated with the level and change in cognitive function. Early child-father relationship quality was only related to baseline cognitive function. Educational attainment mediated the relationship between early child-parent relationship quality with mothers and fathers and cognitive function. Discussion Parental relationship experience in childhood was one distal factor related to cognitive function among older adults.
