A systematic review of peer support interventions to improve psychosocial functioning among cancer survivors: can findings be translated to survivors with a rare cancer living rurally?

Background: This study aimed to (1) summarise research on the impact of peer support interventions aimed at improving psychosocial functioning among cancer survivors, and (2) identify key components for developing a support intervention for patients with a rare cancer living in rural, regional or remote areas.

Methods: A comprehensive search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library identified papers that examined peer support interventions: (i) for rare cancer patients, or (ii) for those living in rural, regional or remote locations, or (iii) that provided support online or via telehealth. After screening, data on study characteristics, intervention components and impact on psychosocial functioning were extracted.

Addressing cancer survivors' information needs and satisfaction: a systematic review of potential intervention components for survivors with a rare cancer type.

Objective: Providing current, evidence-based information to cancer survivors is critical for informed decision making. People diagnosed with a rare cancer report higher unmet information needs compared to common cancer survivors. However, interventions providing informational support for rare cancers are limited.

Primary extradural meningioma with a history of traumatic head injury during infancy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Meningiomas are an extra-axial tumour arising from arachnoid cells and are typically benign and slow growing. Primary extradural meningiomas refer to meningiomas that arise outside the subdural compartment and are extremely rare (0.3 % of meningiomas).

Ceramide-1-phosphate is a regulator of Golgi structure and is co-opted by the obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen .

Many intracellular pathogens structurally disrupt the Golgi apparatus as an evolutionarily conserved promicrobial strategy. Yet, the host factors and signaling processes involved are often poorly understood, particularly for , the agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis. We found that elevated cellular levels of the bioactive sphingolipid, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), to promote Golgi fragmentation that enables bacterial proliferation, conversion from its non-infectious to infectious form, and productive infection.

The baseline risk of multiple febrile seizures in the same febrile illness: a meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: The baseline risk for multiple febrile seizures within the same febrile illness is largely unknown. Estimates range from 5 to 30%. Imprecise estimates can lead to incorrectly powering studies investigating the management of febrile seizures.
