A multicenter trial in Canada randomized 301 breast cancer patients initiating chemotherapy to thrice weekly, supervised exercise consisting of a standard dose of 25-30 min of aerobic exercise (STAN; n = 96), a higher dose of 50-60 min of aerobic exercise (HIGH; n = 101) or a combined dose of 50-60 min of aerobic and resistance exercise (COMB; n = 104) performed for the duration of chemotherapy (median of 17 weeks).

Subscapular and Pectoralis Major Sparing Deltopectoral Approach for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

In reverse ball shoulder replacement, surgery is usually performed using a deltopectoral approach or an anterosuperior transdeltoid approach. The deltopectoral approach is to incise the pectoralis major to upper 1/3 to 1/2, and subscapularis tendon should be removed at the lesser tuberosity of the humerus. This approach has the problem of breaking the shoulder deltoid instead of incising the rotator cuff.

Development process of an evidence-based exercise program for post-operative colorectal cancer patients.

Purpose: Exercise is generally accepted to be beneficial for colorectal cancer patients; however, very few studies have investigated the effects of exercise on patient care and health outcomes during the immediate post-operative recovery period. Furthermore, very few studies have investigated the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of exercise on post-operative cancer patients. Although intervention programs should be based on solid evidence from clinical trials, the majority of previous studies have not presented the development process of the intervention programs.
