Aims: Natural history of young patients with bladder cancer has not yet been known. So this study aimed to understand characteristics and prognosis of patients less than 40 years with bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 42 patients (group 1) less than 40 years with bladder cancer followed up for 6 months at least from October 1998 to January 2010. As controlled group (group 2) consisted 44 patients of 60 years or more who had same condition as above mentioned from January to December 2009 was set. Tumor size and number, pathological results, urine cytology results and recurrence rate were reviewed.
Results: The mean ages and the gender distribution in the two groups showed no difference. Tumor size (P = 0.021) and number (P = 0.016) in group 1 was smaller than control. The proportion of muscle invasive type was not significant, but pTa in group 1 was occupied larger portion than group 2 (P = 0.01). Group 1 had more low grade cancer (P = 0.013), and lower recurrence rate (7.1%) than group 2 (38.6%) (P = 0.001). In addition, the mean recurrence free duration of group 1 and 2 were 37.7 ± 6.3 and 9.9 ± 2.5 months, respectively. Group 1 showed later relapse than group 2 (P = 0.002). No progression in stage at recurrence was in group 1, but 1 case had progression in group 2. In grade, 1 case was worsen in group 1 and 3 cases were worsen in group 2.

Wearable devices designed for the somatosensory system aim to provide event-cue feedback electronics and therapeutic stimulation to the peripheral nervous system. This prompts a neurological response that is relayed back to the central nervous system. Unlike virtual reality tools, these devices precisely target peripheral mechanoreceptors by administering specific stimuli.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of compression therapy combined with exercise for cancer patients (EXCAP) in patients with peripheral neuropathy caused by breast cancer chemotherapy.
Methods: Overall, 108 patients with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for breast cancer were randomly divided into the control group (routine nursing), experimental group 1 (compression therapy), and experimental group 2 (compression therapy and EXCAP). The National Institute of Cancer Drug Toxicity Rating Scale and the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool were assessed and compared between groups.

Background: Loneliness, distress from having fewer social contacts than desired, has been recognized as a significant public health crisis. Although a substantial body of research has established connections between loneliness and various forms of psychopathology, our understanding of the neural underpinnings of loneliness in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) remains limited.
Methods: In this study, structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data were collected from 57 SSD and 45 MDD patients as well as 41 healthy controls (HC).

Background: Obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) frequently co-occur in patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD). Patients with SSD and OCS experience increased clinical and social challenges, including diminished quality of life and subjective well-being. However, it is unknown whether co-morbid OCS are associated with personal recovery.
