Purpose: Increasing physical activity (PA) is safe and associated with improved health outcomes in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Mobile health (mHealth) PA interventions that allow for remote monitoring and tailoring to abilities may be particularly useful for MBC patients. However, limited data exist on the acceptability of these interventions for MBC patients.

Indigo can reach aquatic sediments through wastewater discharges from dyeing processes, terrestrial compartments from the treatment sludges used as biosolids and dyed textiles disposed in landfills.

- Cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) involves patients who can follow commands in brain scans like fMRI, despite showing no behavioral signs of language function, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis in severe brain injuries.
- Recent findings outline a structured approach for assessing CMD at clinical institutions, underlining the need for ethical considerations, standardized protocols, and effective communication of results.
- The proposed method for CMD assessment aims to be adaptable, allowing for updates and improvements as more evidence becomes available in the field.
This study examined five dimensions of attachment network structure in a large sample of adults ( = 930, 57% female) between 24 to 80 years of age. We employed a newly validated diagrammatic measure, the web-based hierarchical mapping technique (WHMT), to measure the attachment strength to participants' five closest relationships and the physical distance to and between network members. Our first aim was to replicate existing research on the composition of adult attachment networks, exploring variations in network patterns by age, romantic status, and parental status.

- A study compared outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) using data from over 15,000 patients from 2010 to 2020.
- Results showed that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) led to shorter hospital stays and lower 30 and 90-day mortality rates compared to open surgery, but it did not significantly affect the chances of complete tumor removal.
- Five-year survival rates were better for MIS approaches versus open surgery, while survival rates were similar between robotic and laparoscopic techniques.
