Context: There has been growing interest in the role of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as part of end-of-life care.
Objectives: This study prospectively examined the prevalence, predictors and outcomes of ingestible CAM use among cancer patients in their last year of life in Singapore.
Methods: This study (N = 427) utilized data across 12 months (four time points) prior to patient death.
Purpose: This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a three-session, psychological-based intervention to improve intimacy and sexuality outcomes among women with breast and gynaecologic cancer in Singapore.
Method: Patients from outpatient oncology clinics completed screeners for marital and sexual distress. Those who endorsed either marital or sexual distress were invited into the study, and were randomized to receive the intervention immediately or be waitlisted.
Background: With advancing illness, some patients with heart failure (HF) opt to receive life-extending treatments despite their high costs, while others choose to forgo these treatments, emphasizing cost containment. We examined the association between patients' health status and their preferences for treatment cost containment versus life extension and whether their patients' awareness of disease incurability moderated this association.
Methods: In a prospective cohort of patients ( = 231) with advanced HF in Singapore, we assessed patients' awareness of disease incurability, health status, and treatment preferences every 4 mo for up to 4 y (up to 13 surveys).
Article Synopsis
- State-of-the-art all-solid-state batteries are set to outperform traditional Li-ion batteries by offering higher energy density and safety through lightweight and solvent-free polymeric electrolytes (SPEs).
- To enhance the performance of SPEs, particularly at room temperature, adding natural resource fillers is being explored as a promising strategy to improve ionic conductivity and interfacial charge transport.
- The study emphasizes using mineral and biobased fillers to replace synthetic materials, highlighting recent advances in SPE design, their challenges, and potential solutions for developing more sustainable rechargeable battery technologies.
