Objectives: To describe trends in caregiver stress and stress-related symptoms (anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbance) across 12 weeks post-transplantation.
Sample & Setting: 11 caregivers were recruited from a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center's bone marrow transplantation (BMT) outpatient clinic in the southeastern United States.
Methods & Variables: A visual case-oriented analysis was conducted on data from 11 caregivers' weekly self-reported data to identify trends after allogeneic BMT.

Background: Communication in the intensive care unit is challenged by patients' inability to speak owing to intubation, treatment, and illness. Research has focused on the use of communication tools or techniques, characteristics of the communication between patients and clinicians, and their experiences of communication challenges. However, few studies have combined the perspectives of patients, family members, and clinicians.

Background: Oriented towards the therapy planning and management of rheumatic patients, and based on the differentiated therapeutic principles of manual medicine (MM) with knowledge on evidence of therapeutic local infiltration techniques (TLI), the author pleads for the establishment of a structured, mechanism-based therapy concept in the sense of "treat to target" (T2T) for patients with (chronic) degenerative low-back pain (LBP) in outpatient pain therapy care.
Diagnostics: This requires a consistent (primary) diagnosis with pain analysis under the premise that LBP is always specific if it is structurally and functionally conditioned. A broad bio-psycho-social anamnesis and structure-based clinical diagnosis (imaging) with functional differentiation according to MM principles and, if necessary, interventional blocks, should result in the expression of a three-level diagnosis as a prerequisite for a mechanism-based, hierarchic step therapy in LBP.

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) requires covering the entire tumor and safe margins with a suitable pulsed electric field (PEF). The PEF distribution depends on the biological and electrical parameters. The biological tissue may have diffractive geometry with non-linear conductivity behavior due to electroporation.
