Rehabilitation following cancer treatment.

Purpose: Cancer survivorship is increasing. However, life-saving treatments often leave people with physical, cognitive and emotional sequelae that contribute to activity and participation limitations. The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence regarding rehabilitation interventions to address problems during survivorship.

HIV prevalence in older adults.

The "overlooked epidemic," "silent risk group" and "forgotten population" are phrases used when referring to HIV/AIDS and the population group aged 50 and older Health Canada reports that almost 12 per cent of the positive HIV test reports in Canada since the epidemic began are among those 50 and older. Despite the availability of this information, older adults (and those who care for their health) are often not aware of the risk in this group. Older adults are often stereotyped as asexual beings and health-care providers frequently omit a sexual history as part of their assessments.
