Background And Objective: The depth of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline after androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) treatment combined with androgen deprivation therapy for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) may affect prognosis. The primary objective in our study was the correlation between the PSA response at 3 mo and radiologic progression-free survival (rPFS) at 24 mo. Three groups were defined according to the PSA decline: complete response (PSA ≤0.

- Researchers at McGill University created a small device called Heel2Toe™ that makes a sound to help people with Parkinson's improve their walking.
- In a study with 27 participants, those using the Heel2Toe™ sensor showed better walking results compared to those using a workbook.
- Most people using Heel2Toe™ reported being happy with the device, suggesting it could be a helpful tool for improving gait in Parkinson's patients.
Introduction: Through interviews with 148 older persons from four countries and in four languages, the content for a 17-item measure of active living was developed. The purpose of this paper is to present further evidence of the extent to which this new measure, Older Persons Active Living (OPAL), is "fit-for-purpose" for measuring the extent of active living at one point in time.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a population aged 65 + and living independently, drawn from a participant panel, HostedinCanada, sampling people from Canada, United States, United Kingdom, and Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- The project aimed to create a measure called Older Persons for Active Living (OPAL) that reflects what matters to older adults, as many do not identify as "patients" and want to remain active.
- Content was developed through interviews with older people from various countries, resulting in thematic analysis to synthesize their views on active living.
- The final measure identified 17 important "ways of being" that highlight the active lifestyle preferences of older adults, while emphasizing the need to account for cultural and linguistic differences in the development process.
