The Breast to Bone (B2B) Cohort Study to Prevent, Detect and Improve Treatment of Metastatic Disease
Women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer can develop metastatic disease following successful initial treatment, with bone being the most common site of metastases. The Breast to Bone (B2B) cohort study of early-stage breast cancer patients was established as a research platform to study the basic biology of breast cancer to bone metastasis and to identify the factors that could improve prevention, early detection and treatment for this debi…
Breast cancer survivors’ experiences of pet ownership
Research suggests that the emotional bond shared with a pet can be particularly significant for those with declining physical health, yet little is known about breast cancer survivors’ experiences with pet ownership. The purpose of this study was to explore breast cancer survivors’ pet-related experiences including the benefits, challenges, and unmet needs. Adults (ages 18 and older), diagnosed with stages 0 ( in situ )-IV breast cancer and curre…
Mindfulness‐based interventions for obesity‐related eating behaviours
Mindfulness‐based interventions ( MBIs ) targeting eating behaviours have gained popularity in recent years. A literature review was conducted to determine the effectiveness of MBIs for treating obesity‐related eating behaviours, such as binge eating, emotional eating and external eating. A search protocol was conducted using the online databases G oogle S cholar, P ub M ed, PsycINFO and O vid H ealthstar. Papers were required to meet the followi…
Reliability of self-reported sun exposure in Canadian women and estimation of lifetime exposure to vitamin D from sun and diet
Objective To assess the inter-method reliability of the Ovarian Cancer in Alberta (OVAL) survey developed to estimate adult vitamin D exposure from sun and diet for every tenth year, against the longer Geraldton Skin Cancer Prevention Survey (the assumed ‘gold standard’). We also estimated total vitamin D exposure using the OVAL survey. Design A randomized crossover design to assess the inter-method reliability of sun exposure (OVAL v . Geraldton…
Risk of endometrial cancer in relation to individual nutrients from diet and supplements
Objective Intake of nutrients may influence the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). We aimed to estimate the association of intake of individual nutrients from food and from food plus supplements with EC occurrence. Design A population-based case–control study conducted in Canada (2002–2006). Setting Nutrient intakes from food and supplements were assessed using an FFQ. Logistic regression was used to estimate EC risk within quartile levels of nutri…
The Need for Evolution in Healthcare Decision Modeling
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Many healthcare decisions are difficult because they are complex and have important consequences such as the impact on survival or quality-of-life of individuals and on allocation of limited resources. The present state-of-the-art in healthcare decision modeling is often inadequate to properly assess these decisions. METHODS: Based on a literature search and the experience of the authors, typical methodologies used in health…
Circumcision and sexually transmitted diseases
OBJECTIVES. New evidence linking lack of circumcision with sexually transmitted human immunodeficiency virus revives concerns about circumcision and other sexually transmitted diseases. This study was undertaken to assess the relationship between circumcision and syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, genital herpes, nongonococcal urethritis, and exophytic genital warts. METHODS. A cross-sectional study of 2776 heterosexual men attending a se…
