Surveillance of Sentinel Node-Positive Melanoma Patients with Reasons for Exclusion from MSLT-II:Multi-Institutional Propensity Score Matched Analysis
BACKGROUND: In sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive melanoma, two randomized trials demonstrated equivalent melanoma-specific survival with nodal surveillance vs completion lymph node dissection (CLND). Patients with microsatellites, extranodal extension (ENE) in the SLN, or >3 positive SLNs constitute a high-risk group largely excluded from the randomized trials, for whom appropriate management remains unknown. STUDY DESIGN: SLN-positive patients with any of the three high-risk features were identified from an international cohort. CLND patients were matched 1:1 with surveillance patients using propensity scores. Risk of any-site recurrence, SLN-basin-only recurrence, and melanoma-specific mortality were compared. RESULTS: Among 1,154 SLN-positive patients, 166 had ENE, microsatellites, and/or >3 positive SLN. At 18.5 months median follow-up, 49% had recurrence (vs 26% in patients without high-risk features, p 3 positive SLN constitute a high-risk group with a 2-fold greater recurrence risk. For those managed with nodal surveillance, SLN-basin recurrences were more frequent, but all-site recurrence and melanoma-specific mortality were comparable to patients treated with CLND. Most recurrences were outside the SLN-basin, supporting use of nodal surveillance for SLN-positive patients with microsatellites, ENE, and/ or >3 positive SLN

Naglasak ovog istraĆŸivanja stavljen je na uÄeniÄku percepciju suvremene vizualne umjetnosti i postizanje kvalitete osobe u nastavi Likovne kulture. Korelacija izmeÄu te dvije odrednice jasna je ako uzmemo u obzir da se veÄina djela suvremene vizualne umjetnosti bavi pitanjem pojedinca i druĆĄtva, a samim su time primjena i pouÄavanje suvremenih umjetniÄkih praksi u osnovnim ĆĄkolama poĆŸeljne kao metode za samoostvarenje uÄenika. No, prema postojeÄem Nastavnom planu i programu za likovnu kulturu u osnovnim ĆĄkolama, uÄenici se u nastavi Likovne kulture minimalno susreÄu sa suvremenim tendencijama u umjetnosti. Naglaska na refleksiju likovnog djela gotovo da nema, kao niti praktiÄne izvedbe likovnih radova u suvremenim medijima.
Ovim radom istraĆŸuje se ĆĄto je kvaliteta osobe, kako su je definirali pojedini psiholozi i filozofi te koja je veza razvoja kvalitete osobe i umjetnosti, tj. kreativnosti i vizualne kulture. IstraĆŸivanjem se nastojalo ustanoviti koji Äimbenici utjeÄu na razvoj intrapersonalne inteligencije kod uÄenika, Äiji je razvoj neophodan za samoaktualizaciju osobe i kako bi nastava Likovne kulture mogla doprinijeti njenom razvoju. AnalizirajuÄi odnos umjetnosti i ĆŸivota, zapanjujuÄi je nesrazmjer pouÄavanja suvremene umjetnosti i umjetnosti prethodnih razdoblja. PrimjenjujuÄi prakse suvremene umjetnosti uÄenici doista neposredno uÄe o sebi i svijetu i na taj naÄin ih se priprema za konkretne probleme s kojima bi se mogli susresti u buduÄnosti te bi se nesrazmjer trebao smanjiti.
Prilikom istraĆŸivanja pokuĆĄalo se odgovoriti na sljedeÄa pitanja: Kako se intrapersonalna inteligencija uÄenika moĆŸe poticati u nastavi Likovne kulture? Kako nastava Likovne kulture moĆŸe doprinijeti samoostvarenju uÄenika? Kako suvremena vizualna umjetnost utjeÄe na postizanje kvalitete osobe? Kako uÄenici promiĆĄljaju odnos vizualne umjetnosti i ĆŸivota?
Dobivenim rezultatima istraĆŸivanja odgovorilo se na istraĆŸivaÄka pitanja. UkljuÄivanjem suvremene vizualne umjetnosti u nastavu, uÄenici se upoznaju s aktualnim zbivanjima u umjetnosti, a drugaÄijim pristupima i poticanjima konceptualnog miĆĄljenja omoguÄuje se kvalitetniji razvoj osobnosti na putu prema samoaktualizaciji.The focus of this research is students' perceptions of contemporary art and the achievement of a person's quality through the process of teaching fine arts. Considering that most contemporary artworks deal with the issue of the individual and society teaching, practicing contemporary art in primary schools is desirable as a method for self-realization. However, according to the existing curriculum for elementary schools, in the fine arts classes, students are minimally confronted with contemporary art. There is almost no encouragement of reflection about fine art, as neither practical implementation through contemporary media.
This treatise explores what is the quality of the person, as defined by psychologists and philosophers, and correlation between the development of a person's quality and fine art, creativity, and visual culture. The research is trying to define factors of achieving intrapersonal intelligence, which development is necessary for the self-actualization of person, and how to process teaching of fine arts can contribute to that development. Analyzing the relationship between art and life, the astonishing disparity between teaching contemporary art and art of previous periods is staggering, Through contemporary art practices, students can learn directly about themselves and the world, thus preparing them for the specific problems they might confront in the future.
This research appoint the following questions: Which is the way to encourage intrapersonal intelligence in the process of teaching fine arts? How the teaching of fine arts can contribute to self-realization? How contemporary visual art can affect on person's quality of life? Which is students opinion of the relationship between visual art and life?
Incorporating contemporary art into the process of teaching, students become familiarized with current developments in the arts. Also, different approaches and encouraging conceptual thinking can support the development of personality in the process of self-actualization
The primary care provider (PCP)âcancer specialist relationship: A systematic review and mixedâmethods metaâsynthesis
Although they are critical to models of coordinated care, the relationship and communication between primary care providers (PCPs) and cancer specialists throughout the cancer continuum are poorly understood. By using predefined search terms, the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature in 3 databases to examine the relationship and communication between PCPs and cancer specialists. Among 301 articles identified, 35 met all inclusion criteria and were reviewed inâdepth. Findings from qualitative, quantitative, and disaggregated mixedâmethods studies were integrated using metaâsynthesis. Six themes were identified and incorporated into a preliminary conceptual model of the PCPâcancer specialist relationship: 1) poor and delayed communication between PCPs and cancer specialists, 2) cancer specialistsâ endorsement of a specialistâbased model of care, 3) PCPsâ belief that they play an important role in the cancer continuum, 4) PCPsâ willingness to participate in the cancer continuum, 5) cancer specialistsâ and PCPsâ uncertainty regarding the PCPâs oncology knowledge/experience, and 6) discrepancies between PCPs and cancer specialists regarding roles. These data indicate a pervasive need for improved communication, delineation, and coordination of responsibilities between PCPs and cancer specialists. Future interventions aimed at these deficiencies may improve patient and physician satisfaction and cancer care coordination.
