Background: People with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD), a term for those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) under the age of 60, face unique challenges compared to those diagnosed with PD later in life. A better understanding of the lived experience of those with YOPD is essential to delivering bespoke rehabilitation and improving quality of life.
Purpose: To provide insight into the emotional and social lived experience of individuals with YOPD.
Article Synopsis
- Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a key surgical treatment for prostate cancer, but assessing surgical margins during the procedure is difficult and costly, making fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) a potential solution.
- The IP8-FLUORESCE study is a multicentre, prospective study that investigates the accuracy of digital FCM in identifying prostate cancer at surgical margins, comparing it to traditional histopathology methods.
- The study will involve 153 patients undergoing robot-assisted RP, using FCM on prostate specimens immediately after surgery, with results evaluated by blinded uro-pathologists for accuracy in detecting cancer presence at the margins.
Objective: To describe student access to university mental health services and barriers and gaps in support.
Methods: This multiple cohort study used self-report data from 4,138 undergraduate students who completed the U-Flourish Well-Being Survey at the start and completion of first year from 2018 to 2023. The survey incorporated validated measures of mental health symptoms, barriers to care, and open-text questions about the mental health care experience and perceived gaps.
