Purpose: To uncover the experience of time in women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
Methods: A combination of consensual qualitative research and Giorgi's descriptive phenomenology.
Results: The key phenomenon found and pre-reflectively organizing the patients' experience was the temporal paradox of chemotherapy-a sense of both acceleration and deceleration in between chemotherapy sessions that desynchronizes patients with the time of others.
Conclusion: The experienced paradoxes concentrating around the timings of the chemotherapy treatments are of particular relevance for supportive care. It is particularly important to acknowledge the disturbing effect of the cyclical nature of chemotherapy.

The extinction of species is a major threat to the biodiversity. Allee effects are strongly linked to population extinction vulnerability. Emerging ecological evidence from numerous ecosystems reveals that the Allee effect, which is brought on by two or more processes, can work on a single species concurrently.

Internal and external rotation of the shoulder is often challenging to quantify in the clinic. Existing technologies, such as motion capture, can be expensive or require significant time to setup, collect data, and process and analyze the data. Other methods may rely on surveys or analog tools, which are subject to interpretation.

Eczematous paradoxical reactions are commonly associated with anti-interleukin-17A (anti-IL-17A) antibodies. However, IL-23 p19 inhibitors can also cause similar cutaneous manifestations. We present a case of a 77-year-old Japanese woman with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), who developed eczematous lesions on her face, neck, and dorsum of the hands 10 weeks after initiating guselkumab treatment.

Time is a central dimension against which perception, action, and cognition play out. From anticipating when future events will happen to recalling how long ago previous events occurred, humans and animals are exquisitely sensitive to temporal structure. Empirical evidence seems to suggest that estimating time prospectively (i.

Background And Objective: With limited evidence connecting paradoxical inflammatory bowel disease (paradoxical IBD) to the newest biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors, our study aims to investigate the occurrence of paradoxical IBD induced by these agents in treating other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). We aim to identify associated risk signals, the primary affected population, and the risk profile changes over time.
Methods: We performed disproportionality analysis to evaluate paradoxical IBD risk signals using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.
