Experiences of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer participating in a supervised exercise intervention during chemotherapy.

Purpose: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) undergoing systemic treatment often experience toxicities. Although exercise may improve physical fitness and quality of life and counteract treatment toxicity, knowledge in patients with mCRC is limited. The ongoing randomized controlled AMICO trial evaluates the effects of supervised exercise on clinical outcomes.

Symptomatic Vitreous Opacities: Exploring the Mismatch between Clinical Observation of Vitreous Alterations and Self-Reported Symptoms.

To assess the mismatch between the clinical observation of vitreous alterations and self-reported symptoms in young patients complaining of symptomatic vitreous opacities (SVO). The ophthalmic medical records of young patients presenting primarily with SVO were retrospectively evaluated. Symptoms severity was assessed using a questionnaire.

Effects of a combined exercise and dietary intervention on body composition, physical functioning and fatigue in patients with ovarian cancer: results of the PADOVA trial.

Background: Guidelines recommend to include exercise and dietary advice in standard care for patients with cancer, based on evidence primarily derived from patients with breast cancer. Its applicability to patients with ovarian cancer is uncertain due to differences in patient characteristics and treatments. The PADOVA trial examined the effectiveness of a combined exercise and dietary intervention on fat-free mass (FFM), physical functioning, and fatigue.

Bilateral Optic Disc Swelling with Persistent Visual Loss in Anemia: Case Report.

A 56-year-old man with a medical history of alcoholic cirrhosis presented with acute bilateral loss of vision. On admission, the patient had pale skin and low arterial pressure. Ophthalmic examination demonstrated a visual acuity of 6/9 in the right eye and the absence of light perception in the left.

Dolichoectatic arterial compression of the chiasm and optic nerve: a case report.

Dolichoectatic arterial compression of the anterior visual pathway is a rare but recognized condition. The functional impact, however, is still less clear. We describe a case of a 56-year-old male with diminished visual acuity in the left eye and incongruent inferior visual defect in both eyes caused by dolichoectasia due to a congenital hypoplasia of one horizontal segment of the circle of Willis and subsequent arterial compression of the chiasm and left optic nerve.
