No statistically significant difference was observed, however, when comparing the intervention and control groups in terms of the level of adjustment to old age and health-related quality of life, either at baseline or following the intervention (P > 0.05). The results of this study indicate that progressive muscle relaxation can increase adaptation to old age and the quality of life and of older people in a nursing home.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of preoperative axillary ultrasonography (AUS) and preoperative axillary fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from suspicious lymph nodes in clinically node-negative breast cancer to compare with radiologically positive and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) positive involvement. Clinically node-negative early-stage breast cancer patients were included in the study. These patients underwent preoperative AUS examination, suspicious lymph nodes were evaluated with FNAB. AUS-FNAB results were compared with those of SLNB or axillary dissection. Of 181 patients undergoing AUS, 32 were reported to have axillary metastasis, 25 suspicious, and 124 benign nodes. The suspicious group underwent FNAB examination and metastasis was found in 9 of them. The sensitivity of AUS-FNAB was found to be 64.06%, specificity 100%, positive predictive value 100%, and negative predictive value (NPV) 83.5%. The false negativity rate (FN) of this method was 16,4%. Lymphovascular invasion and tumour size were found statistically significant factors for false negativity. It was concluded that axillary AUS-FNAB with its high NPV, low FN rate, may be a clinical alternative to SLNB for early-stage breast cancer patients.
