survivorship of the immature stage of anopheles culicifacies in damar district were studied through sampling larval and pupal stages from stream bed pools and rice fields during may and august 1993. the duration of each larval instar and the pupal stage was also determined in the laboratory for preparing the survivorship curves and the construction of the life tables. mortality from egg to adul...

background: this study aimed to examine the impact of ego-resilience and family function on quality of life in childhood leukemia survivors. methods: this study targeted 100 pediatric leukemia survivors, who visited the pediatric hemato-oncology center in south korea from aug to dec 2011. a structured questionnaire of ego-resilience, family function and quality of life used to collect data thro...

Cancer survivorship is now recognized as a distinct phase of cancer care, but the process of delivering survivorship care continues to emerge. Nurses often play a pivotal role during the survivorship phase by identifying patient needs and making appropriate referrals to address the range of issues that may arise. Some nurses may also be directly involved in providing survivorship-focused clinic...

Any cause that negatively affects mortality, positively affects mortality, negatively affects survivorship, and positively affects survivorship is tetraeffective (i.e., having four kinds of effects). However, until now, tetraeffective causes of mortality and survivorship have been unrecognized, unidentified, unnamed, misconceived, unclear, unexplained, and unspecified. Here I recognize, identif...

Problem Identification Advanced practice RNs (APRNs) have become leaders in providing survivorship care. However, outcomes of survivorship care provided by APRNs compared to other providers remain unclear. Literature Search A systematic literature search included articles published after 2005 that described a survivorship model of care and use of a survivorship care plan (SCP), as well as rep...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES to describe current survivorship care from the perspectives of oncology nurses. DESIGN descriptive. SETTING e-mail invitation to Web-based survey. SAMPLE 399 Oncology Nursing Society members providing care for patients initially treated more than one year previously. METHODS an online survey was used to evaluate current aspects of survivorship care. MAIN RESEARCH VA...

For species of conservation concern, ecologists often need to estimate potential population growth rates with minimal life history data. We use a survivorship database for captive mammals to show that, although survivorship scale (i.e., longevity) varies widely across mammals, survivorship shape (i.e., the age-specific pattern of mortality once survivorship has been scaled to maximum longevity)...

 Background: Modern knee designs have popularized its use in younger patients due to its better performance. There remains uncertainty whether higher demands of these patients can affect implant survivorship.    Purpose: To assess whether modern knee designs have provided similar results in patients younger than 70 years versus older patients. Methods: We included 203 consecutive patients (236 ...

Each year on National Cancer Survivors Day (held June 1 this year), CDC and its partners celebrate advances in cancer survivorship and reflect on the challenges facing approximately 13.4 million cancer survivors nationally. This year, CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control Survivorship Workgroup celebrates its 10th anniversary of public health work in cancer survivorship through resear...

A specification of mortality or survivorship provides respective explicit details about mortality's or survivorship's relationships with one or more other variables (e.g., age, sex, etc.). Previous studies have discovered and analyzed diverse specifications of mortality or survivorship; these discoveries and analyses suggest that additional specifications of mortality or survivorship have yet t...
