NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS IN PATIENTS WITH CANCER

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 9) Diffuse interstitial infiltrates suggest viral, parasitic, or Pneumocystis pneumonia. If the patient has a diffuse interstitial pattern on chest x-ray, it may be reasonable to institute empirical treatment <[r]

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 5) Sweet's syndrome, or febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, was originally described in women with elevated white blood cell (WBC) counts. The disease is characterized by the presence of leukocytes <[r]

The purpose of this study was to determine prognostic factors influencing outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with T4a hypopharyngeal cancer.

Patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients demonstrate varied survival outcomes. Previous studies have reported that lipoproteins are associated with prognosis in various cancers; however, the role of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and low-density lipoprotein- cholesterol (LDLR) in patients[r]

Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom for patients with incurable cancer receiving systemic treatment with palliative intent. There is evidence that non-pharmacological interventions such as graded exercise therapy (GET) or cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) reduce cancer-related fatigue in di[r]

Study the Malondialdehyde content in patients with colon cancer who underwent radical surgery treatment. Evaluate the changes in red blood cell Malondialdehyde content of patients with colon cancer after radical surgery.

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 10) Renal and Ureteral Infections Infections of the urinary tract are common among patients whose ureteral excretion is compromised (Table 82-1). Candida, which has a predilection for the k[r]

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 8) Brain Masses Mass lesions of the brain most often present as headache with or without fever or neurologic abnormalities. Infections associated with mass lesions may be caused by bacteria[r]

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 6) More common than tunnel infections are exit-site infections, often with erythema around the area where the line penetrates the skin. Most authorities (Chap. 129) recommend treatment (usu[r]

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic significance of psychological distress in gastric cancer patients. Psychological distress is common in patients with all stages of gastric cancer and is associated with worse
outcomes.

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 2) A similar problem can affect patients whose lymph node integrity has been disrupted by radical surgery, particularly patients who have had radical node dissections. A common clinical problem fo[r]

Chapter 082. Infections in Patients with Cancer (Part 3) The level of suspicion of infections with certain organisms should depend on the type of cancer diagnosed (Table 82-3). Diagnosis of multiple myeloma or CLL should alert the clinician t[r]

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is extensively used in the treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC), particularly in high risk, advanced gastric cancer. Previous trials testing the efficacy of NAC have reported inconsistent results.

Patients with cancer have an increased risk of malnutrition which is associated with poor outcome. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®) is often used in older patients with cancer but its relation to outcome is not known.
