Article Synopsis
- * Using data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study, the research analyzes how actors' (individuals') and partners' (spouses') perceptions of marital power relate to cognitive performance over time, with an emphasis on depression as a mediating factor.

Trials
November 2024
Background: Integration of symptom and palliative care for people with advanced cancer is established in many tumour types, but its role in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been clearly defined. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of an intervention involving a suite of strategies designed to assess and treat palliative care symptoms and needs in adult outpatients with HCC attending four New South Wales (NSW) metropolitan tertiary hospitals.
Methods: This trial will use a pragmatic cluster-based randomised-controlled design, with ambulatory HCC services as the clusters.
