High and low contact frequency cardiac rehabilitation programmes elicit similar improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk factors.

Aim: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a proven intervention that substantially improves physical health and decreases death and disability following a cardiovascular event. Traditional CR typically involves 36 on-site exercise sessions spanning a 12-week period. To date, the optimal dose of CR has yet to be determined.

Use of a clinical assistant to screen patients with genitourinary cancer to encourage entry into clinical trials and use of supportive medication: a pilot project at a Canadian cancer center.

Background: The central goal of cancer care is to improve patient outcomes through advancing medical knowledge. Therefore, participation in clinical trials is encouraged to demonstrate efficacy and understand toxicities of medical interventions. In the oncology setting, these interventions are also frequently accompanied by clinical care to maintain bone health throughout the course of disease.
