73 (95%CI 0.69-0.77). The proportion working at 2-2.9 years was 0.72; at 3-3.9 years 0.80; at 4-4.9 years 0.75; at 5-5.9 years 0.74; and 6+ years 0.65. Pooled estimates did not differ by cancer site, geographical area, or study design. Seven studies assessed prognostic factors for work retention older age, receiving chemotherapy, negative health outcomes, and lack of work adjustments were associated with not working. CONCLUSION Almost three-quarters of long-term cancer survivors working at diagnosis retain work. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS These findings are pertinent for guidelines on cancer survivorship care. Professionals could focus support on survivors most likely to have poor long-term work outcomes.PURPOSE Breast cancer during pregnancy (BC-P) or the first year post-partum (BC-PP) is rare and whether it differs from breast cancer (BC) in young women not associated with pregnancy is uncertain. METHODS We queried our institutional database for BC-P and BC-PP cases and matched controls with BC not associated with pregnancy diagnosed between January 1, 1985 and December 31, 2013. We performed two parallel retrospective cohort studies evaluating clinico-pathologic features, treatment and outcomes for BC-P and BC-PP cases compared to their controls. RESULTS In our population of 65 BC-P cases, 135 controls for BC-P cases, 75 BC-PP cases and 145 controls for BC-PP cases, high grade and estrogen receptor-negativity were more frequent in both case groups than their controls. Among those with stage I-III BC, patterns of local therapy were similar for both case groups and their controls, with the majority undergoing surgery and radiation. Over three-fourths of those with stage I-III BC received chemotherapy. BC-P cases tolerated chemotherapy well, with the majority receiving doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide every 3 weeks. On multivariate analyses of those with stage I-III BC, BC-P cases had non-significantly higher hazards of recurrence and death compared to their controls, while BC-PP cases had non-significantly lower hazards of recurrence and death compared to their controls. CONCLUSION BC-P and BC-PP were associated with adverse clinic-pathologic features in our population. However, we did not observe inferior outcomes for BC-P or BC-PP compared to controls, likely due to receipt of aggressive multi-modality therapy.While mounting evidence reveals an immigrant paradox whereby foreign-born individual's exhibit better than expected health outcomes, this advantage is not evenly distributed with evidence of differential vulnerabilities for suicidality comparing 1.5 and first generations. We use a developmental framework to explore for variation in suicidality by developmental stage across gender and nativity. Data come from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). ANOVA and logistic regression models are used to examine patterns in the prevalence of suicide ideation. Firsocostat The association between suicidality and age at migration is non-linear with differential vulnerabilities to suicide ideation between age of migration groups and across gender and nativity. Findings support calls for a more nuanced disaggregation of age of migration and its intersection with gender and nativity.Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic neurological disorder in young adults, with numerous potential effects on neurologic function. Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a common and very stressful one in persons with MS and represents a significant burden of disease. It has been shown that proportion of SD in MS is greater than in other neurological diseases, and almost five times higher than in the general population. Since there is no consistent definition in the literature for the diagnosis of SD, various studies reported a prevalence of SD of 40-80% in women and 50-90% in men with MS. The nature of sexual changes in this chronic illness is best defined as primary, secondary, and tertiary. Recently, it has been emphasized that detailed sexual history is crucial for all SD assessments and diagnoses. Committee 3 of the international consultation on sexual medicine suggested an updating algorithm for diagnostic evaluation of SD in both genders, with specific recommendations related to sexual history taking and diagnostic evaluation. Because treatments and preventive strategies might manage SD, it is necessary to increase the focus on these aspects of the disease when counselling patients. Management of SD should be comprehensive because the symptoms could be somatic, psychological, or related to relationship problems.Background Australian government funding for Residential Medication Management Reviews and Home Medicines Reviews commenced in 1997 and 2001 respectively. Limited data are available on their provision in Australia. Objective To investigate the extent and characteristics of Home Medicines Review and Residential Medication Management Review services provided by accredited pharmacists practising in Western Australia. Setting Pharmacists in Western Australia accredited by the Australian Association of Consultant Pharmacy or Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia. Method A paper questionnaire was developed and sent to 198 accredited pharmacists in Western Australia in June 2017. Simple descriptive statistics summarised demographic information and other responses. Logistic regression evaluated factors associated with the frequency of provision of Home Medicines Reviews. Main outcome measure Frequency and factors influencing services provided. Results Of 102 (51.5%) questionnaires returned, 67 (65.7%) respondeient outcomes. Over 97% of accredited pharmacists intended to continue to remain accredited. Conclusions Wide variations were evident in the times taken for tasks associated with performing reviews. Most respondents considered their medication reviews contributed to improved patient outcomes. The wide variation in times taken for the reviews suggests a tiered structure for service provision, with appropriate payment within each tier, since most consider current remuneration inadequate.The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate an equation to predict body weight (BW) using hip width (HW) in Pelibuey ewe lambs and ewes. Five hundred seventy-seven 2-month-old to 3-year-old, non-pregnant, non-lactating, clinically healthy ewe lambs and adult ewes with a mean BW of 34.7 ± 12.4 kg and HW of 15.6 ± 3.4 cm were considered. Three equations were evaluated BW (kg) - 19.17 + 3.46 × HW (Eq. 1), BW (kg) - 17.79 + 3.25 × HW + 0.007 × HW2 (Eq. 2) and BW (kg) 0.39 × HW1.63 (Eq. 3). Independent data from 80 animals with similar characteristics (BW of 23.4 ± 10.9 kg and HW of 12 ± 3.1 cm) were also considered to evaluate the developed equations. The evaluation was based on the relationship between the observed and predicted values of BW analysed using a linear regression, the mean squared error of prediction (MSEP), the root MSEP (RMSEP) and the concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs). Additionally, cross-validation analyses were performed using the k-folds validation (k = 10) procedure. The correlation coefficient (r) between BW and HW was 0.
