195, p = .021, r = -.155, p = .034, respectively). Conclusion Risk factors for weight gain during self-quarantine are inadequate sleep, snacking after dinner, lack of dietary restraint, eating in response to stress, and reduced physical activity.Purpose To compare overall survival (OS) of ablation with no treatment for patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Patients with clinical stage IIIB (T1-4N3M0, T4N2M0) and stage IV (T1-4N0-3M1) non-small cell lung cancer, in accordance with the American Joint Committee on Cancer, 7th edition, who did not receive treatment or who received ablation as their sole primary treatment besides chemotherapy from 2004 to 2014, were identified from the National Cancer Data Base. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by log-rank test, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, and propensity score-matched analysis. Relative survival analyses comparing age- and sex-matched United States populations were performed. Results A total of 140,819 patients were included. The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year survival rates relative to age- and sex-matched United States population were 28%, 18%, 12%, and 10%, respectively, for ablation (n = 249); and 30%, 15%, 9%, and 5%, respectively for no treatment (n = 140,570). Propensity score matching resulted in 249 patients in the ablation group versus 498 patients in the no-treatment group. After matching, ablation was associated with longer OS than that in the no-treatment group (median, 5.9 vs 4.7 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.844; 95% confidence interval, 0.719-0.990; P = .037).  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Thiazovivin.html  These results persisted in patients with an initial tumor size of ≤3 cm. Conclusions Preliminary results suggest ablation may be associated with longer OS in patients with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer than survival in those who received no treatment.Purpose To retrospectively compare technical success and major complication rates of laparoscopically versus radiologically inserted jejunostomy tubes. Materials and methods In this single-institution retrospective study, 115 patients (60 men; mean age, 59.7 y) underwent attempted laparoscopic jejunostomy tube insertion as a standalone procedure during a 10-year period and 106 patients (64 men; mean age, 61.0 y) underwent attempted direct percutaneous radiologic jejunostomy tube insertion during an overlapping 6-year period. Clinical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed with primary focus on predictors of procedure-related major complications within 30 days. Results Patients undergoing laparoscopic jejunostomy tube insertion were less likely to have previous major abdominal surgery (P less then .001) or to be critically ill (P less then .001) and had a higher body mass index (P = .001) than patients undergoing radiologic insertion. Technical success rates were 95% (110 of 115) for laparoscopic and 97% (103 of 106) for radiologic jejunostomy tube insertion (P = .72). Major procedural complications occurred in 7 patients (6%) in the laparoscopic group and in 5 (5%) in the radiologic group (P = 1.0). For laparoscopic jejunostomy tubes, only previous major abdominal surgery was significantly associated with a higher major procedure complication rate (14% [5 of 37] vs 3% [2 of 78] in those without; P = .039). In the radiologic jejunostomy group, only obesity was significantly associated with a higher major complication rate 20% (2 of 10) vs 3% (3 of 96) in nonobese patients (P = .038). Conclusions Laparoscopic and radiologic jejunostomy tube insertion both showed high success and low complication rates. Previous major abdominal surgery and obesity may be pertinent discriminators for patient selection.Person-centered care (PCC) interventions have the potential to improve resident well-being in nursing homes, but can be difficult to implement. This study investigates perceived facilitators and barriers reported by nursing staff to using a PCC intervention consisting of three components assessment of resident well-being, planning of well-being support, and behavioral changes in care to support resident well-being. Our explorative mixed method study combined interviews (n = 11) with a longitudinal survey (n = 132) to examine which determinants were most prevalent and predictive for intention to use the intervention and actual implementation 3 months later (n = 63). Results showed that perceived barriers and facilitators were dependent on the components of the intervention. Assessment of resident well-being required a stable nursing home context and a detailed implementation plan, while planning of well-being support was impeded by knowledge. Behavioral changes in nursing care required easy integration in daily caring tasks and social support.Objectives Patients with febrile neutropenia presenting a cutaneous portal of entry for an infectious agent are at high risk of death (19-32%). If medical management is well codified, surgical management represents a therapeutic dilemma because the only available option is an aggressive debridement of the infected area which is associated with a high morbidity rate. Our objective was to implement a low-risk technique that is quick to perform and does not delay major surgical debridement if the latter turns out to be necessary. Patients and methods We performed an early subcutaneous drainage of the infected areas by percutaneous approach in order to avoid the evolution towards skin and subcutaneous necrosis. Five consecutive patients were treated with this technique associated with the recommended medical treatment between March and September 2017. This technique is based on the mechanical concept of the evacuation of the edema from the inflammatory area which would allow a better efficiency of the antibiotic treatment thanks to a better blood perfusion and a higher tissue concentration of antibiotics. Results Of the 5 patients managed in the department, no skin necrosis occurred, no surgical debridement was necessary, and no patient died during the episode of febrile neutropenia. Conclusion Early subcutaneous drainage by percutaneous approach of an area of skin infection in a patient with febrile neutropenia may be considered as an interesting option. This technique allows without loss of chance for the patient to increase survival and decrease the number of aggressive surgical debridement and their high morbidity.
