Background: To assess the annual incidence, surgical technique preferred (i.e. external versus endonasal) and the characteristics of patients undergoing a Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) in France over a 10-year-period.

Change in quality of life of stage IA lung cancer patients after sublobar resection and lobectomy.

Background: Few studies have examined the differential impact of sublobar resection (SL) and lobectomy (L) on quality of life (QoL) during the first postoperative year.

Methods: We used a prospective cohort of Stage IA lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) from the Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research on Treatment. QoL was measured before surgery, and within 4, 6, and 12 months post-surgery using three validated instruments: SF-12 [physical (PCS) and mental health (MCS)], FACT-LCS (lung-cancer-symptoms), and the PHQ-4 (anxiety and depression subscales).

Massage therapy in the breast imaging department: repurposing an ancient anxiety reducing method.

Background: Massage therapy's ability to mitigate breast imaging associated anxiety has not been previously studied. Anxiety is, however, often cited as a harm of screening mammography with few options offered to diminish anxiety other than not screening. Reducing anxiety may improve compliance, and reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity.
