As breast cancer treatment is associated with declines in brain and cognitive health, it is important to identify strategies to enhance the cognitive vitality of cancer survivors. In particular, the hippocampus is known to play an important role in brain and memory declines following cancer treatment. The hippocampus is also known for its plasticity and positive association with cardiorespirato...

PURPOSE The main goal of this study was to compare the quality of life (QOL) and its association with physical activity (PA) among patients diagnosed with different types of cancer. Based on the results, we tentatively present suggestions for the cancer health care model. METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted with 2915 cancer survivors recruited from multi-community cancer rehabilitati...

INTRODUCTION Nearly 12 million cancer survivors are living in the United States. Few state-based studies have examined the health status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of this growing population. The objective of this study was to use Massachusetts Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data to describe cancer survivors' demographics, health behaviors, quality of life, u...

OBJECTIVE Intensive care unit survivors and non-survivors have distinct acid-base profiles. The kidney's regulation of urinary electrolytes and the urinary strong ion difference plays a major role in acid-base homeostasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential utility of daily spot urinary electrolyte measurement in acid-base and renal function monitoring. METHODS We prospective...
