Background: Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are provided at the completion of cancer treatment to aid in the transition from active treatment to long-term survivorship. They describe the details of a patient's diagnosis and treatment and offer recommendations for follow-up appointments, referrals, and healthy behaviors. The plans are currently paper-based and become outdated as soon as a patient's health status changes.

Here, we evaluated neuropsychiatric behaviors in A/J, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 male mice and tested genetic or genomic alterations following SCI. A/J and BALB/c naive mice showed significantly less locomotor activity and greater anxiety-like behavior than C57BL/6 mice.

Aims: The aim of this study was to explore whether pain-related gene expression is similar between individuals with and without dementia.
Design: This was a descriptive study using a one-time assessment.
Article Synopsis
- Cancer-related fatigue is a challenging issue for breast cancer survivors, and dietary changes may help, but are often not utilized effectively.
- The Women's Healthy Eating and Living study assessed the link between diet and fatigue, revealing that while dietary intervention did not generally reduce fatigue, it was beneficial for specific groups like younger participants with fewer health issues.
- Improving diet quality and adjusting eating schedules could help alleviate fatigue, indicating a need for future programs to focus on these aspects in cancer survivorship support.
The molecular processes driving the transition from acute to chronic low back pain (LBP) remain poorly understood and are likely to be sexually dimorphic. This study aimed to explore sex differences in the serum proteomic profile of people experiencing an acute LBP episode and determine if serum protein concentrations were associated with three-month outcome. Serum samples were collected through venepuncture from 30 female and 29 male participants experiencing an acute LBP episode.
