Purpose: To describe Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and to identify the association between sociodemographic, clinical and psychosocial factors, and self-reported HRQoL among NHL survivors.

Methods: The data of the cancer registry specialized in hematological malignancies in Côte d'Or (France) were used to identify all patients diagnosed with follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) from 2010 to 2017. Patients were invited to complete SF-12 and other questionnaires.

Substance use disorder is a worldwide issue that entails negative health and physical activity is a promising complementary therapy for alleviating the consequences. The objective of this reviews is to characterize physical activity interventions offered in the literature and explore their effects during treatment for people with substance use disorders with excluding studies focusing only on tobacco use. A systematic search of seven databases on articles including a physical activity intervention during a treatment for substance use disorder was done and an examination of the presence of bias was performed.

Article Synopsis
  • * Findings showed that younger patients with fewer comorbidities had much better access to a Specialized Haematology Unit (SHU), leading to more favorable treatment outcomes compared to older or more severely ill patients.
  • * The research concluded that timely access to SHU is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment of AML, emphasizing the need for improved care pathways, especially for the most deprived patients.

Organized sport yields many cognitive, social and physical benefits and is one of the most popular types of physical activity for children and adolescents. Despite the benefits of sports participation, a substantial proportion of adolescents fail to meet Canadian guidelines regarding physical activity. In this regard, it is relevant to understand the mechanisms underlying the adoption of various active behaviours.

Scientific evidence reveals a significant decline in exercise behaviors during adolescence. Although multiple school-based initiatives have been implemented in Canada, little is known of how these initiatives affect students' motivation for subsequent physical activity (PA). The transcontextual model of motivation offers an interesting approach to assessing the long-term, motivational impact of school-based interventions, and we used this model to study how adolescent girls' need satisfactions, first observed within supervised PA (in the FitSpirit FitClub), correlated with their inclinations toward nonsupervised PA behaviors later.

Our specialized population-based registry has allowed us to explore changes in incidence and survival by subtype over the last 30 years. Between 1980 and 2009, 4790 cases of lymphoid malignancies were registered using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology. The incidence rate of lymphoid malignancies was 20.

Cdk1 drives both mitotic entry and the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. Past work has shown that Wee1 inhibition of Cdk1 blocks mitotic entry. Here we show that the budding yeast Wee1 kinase, Swe1, also restrains the metaphase-to-anaphase transition by preventing Cdk1 phosphorylation and activation of the mitotic form of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC(Cdc20)).

We report the characterization of two new theta-replicating plasmids of Streptococcus thermophilus (pSMQ-312b and pSMQ-316) as well as the further analysis of pSMQ-308. The nucleotide sequences of pSMQ-312b and pSMQ-316 were determined and both contained 6710 bp. In fact, the two sequences were identical, despite that the plasmids were isolated from two different S.

UV irradiation can cause cutaneous damage that may be specific according to the wavelength of UV rays. For example, damage from UVB irradiation manifests itself in the form of sunburn cells and enhancement of the expression of p53, while damage from UVA exposure results in an increase in the expression of vimentin. These reactions to UV irradiation were used in this work to evaluate the photoprotective capacities of two sunblock preparations that were applied to the surface of the skin.

The design of new and interesting inorganic frameworks is an ongoing challenge in materials sciences. New structures containing double-four-ring (D4R) units have recently received particular attention. The present work focuses on the computational design of new three-dimensional frameworks made of D4R units exclusively.

The computational design of new and interesting inorganic materials is still an ongoing challenge. The motivation of these efforts is to aid the often difficult task of crystal structure determination, to rationalize different but related structure types, or to help limit the domain of structures that are possible in a given system. Over the past decade, simulation methods have continuously evolved towards the prediction of new structures using minimal input information in terms of symmetry, cell parameters, or chemical composition.

A systematic computational study of gallophosphates was undertaken. First, lattice energy minimization calculations using a formal-charge shell model potential have been carried out on a series of hypothetical gallium phosphates derived from their metallogallophosphate, aluminophosphate, or aluminosilicate analogues through atomic substitution. The minimized structures show the typical features in terms of bond angles and distances as expected in zeolitic gallophosphates.
