Community Members' Input into Cancer Prevention Campaign Development and Experience Being Featured in the Campaign.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates are increased and CRC screening rates are lower among Appalachia Ohio residents.

Objectives: We sought to describe 1) a partnership of cancer researchers and community members that developed county-specific media campaigns to improve CRC screening rates (intervention) and fruit and vegetable consumption (control) and 2) the experience of community members featured in the campaigns.

Methods: Community members assisted with campaign development, were featured in campaigns, identified locations for materials, and promoted the campaigns.

Comparison of finger and forehead oximetry sensors in postanesthesia care patients.

We compared loss of pulse oximetry signal (dropout rates) for both finger and forehead sensors in postanesthesia patients. Pulse oximetry is a widely practiced method for measuring oxygen saturation. Several studies in various patient populations have demonstrated that low flow states, patient movement, and hypothermia may result in poor signal quality with the use of finger oximetry sensors.
