Ασθενείς χειρουργημένοι για μονήρη εστία παχέος εντέρου το 2014 σε μία κλινική. Τρία χρόνια μετά: επιβίωση, ελεύθερο νόσου μεσοδιάστημα.

Εισαγωγή: Ο καρκίνος του παχέος εντέρου είναι ένας συχνά διαγιγνωσκόμενος καρκίνος. Ασθενείς με ορθοκολικό καρκίνο χειρουργούνται σε δευτεροβάθμια νοσοκομεία για εξαίρεση του όγκου. Σκοπός: Η μελέτη της ολικής επιβίωσης και το διάστημα ελεύθερο νόσου των ασθενών με ορθοκολικό καρκίνο, οι οποίοι χειρουργούνται σε δευτεροβάθμιο νοσοκομείο. Υλικό – Μέθοδος: Καταγράφησαν οι ασθενείς που προσήλθαν για χειρουργική εκτομή ορθοκολικού καρκίνου σε μία κλινική. Μέσω τηλεφωνικής επικοινωνίας έγινε η ενημέρωση για την πορεία της υγείας τους για τα τρία επόμενα έτη. Αποτελέσματα: Η αναλογία ανδρών γυναικών με ορθοκολικό καρκίνο είναι παρόμοια με αυτή της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας. Η μέση ηλικία των χειρουργηθέντων ασθενών είναι ανάλογη με του Ευρωπαϊκού μέσου όρου. Λόγω αδυναμίας επικοινωνίας με αρκετούς από τους ασθενείς, δεν δύναται να εξαχθούν ασφαλή συμπεράσματα για την ολική επιβίωση και για το ελεύθερο νόσου μεσοδιάστημα. Συμπεράσματα: Είναι αναγκαία η τήρηση αρχείου ασθενών με καρκίνο και η καταγραφή της πορείας τους για την εξαγωγή ασφαλών στατιστικών στοιχείων.Introduction: Colon cancer is a frequently diagnosed cancer. Patients with colorectal cancer are operated in second degree hospitals for tumor removal. Purpose: Overall survival and disease free survival of patients with colorectal cancer, who are operated in a second degree hospital. Materia and Method: There where listed patients who where hospitalized for surgical resection of colorectal cancer in one clinic. Via telephone contact was recorded the information for their health condition for the next three years. Results: The ratio men women with colorectal cancer is similar with that of international bibliography. The median age of operated patients is similar with the European average. Due to inability to communicate with several of the patients, it is not possible to reach to save conclusions for overall survival and disease free survival. Conclusion: It is necessary to be kept record of patients with cancer and to be written their progress for coming up to save conclusions

Sociocultural risk factors for compulsive exercise : a prospective study of adolescents

The risk factors for compulsive exercise are unknown. This study aims to explore longitudinal sociocultural risk factors for compulsive exercise, using a 12-month prospective design. A sample of 332 male and female adolescents (aged 13–15 years at baseline) completed self-report measures of sociocultural risk factors and compulsive exercise at baseline and eating disorder psychopathology and compulsive exercise at 12-month follow-up assessment. Hierarchical regressions found that family and peer messages to become more muscular predicted compulsive exercise in boys, whereas feeling pressure from the media to be thin was a significant predictor of compulsive exercise in girls. These relationships remained significant when controlling for eating disorder psychopathology but became nonsignificant when initial levels of compulsive exercise were entered into the model. The findings suggest that sociocultural risk factors may contribute to the development of compulsive exercise but future research should utilise a younger sample and employ a longer follow-up period to identify true longitudinal effects

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on characteristics, extent and trends in child maltreatment in 34 Euro-CAN COST Action countries: a scoping review protocol

Introduction While the factors commonly associated with an increased risk of child maltreatment (CM) were found to be increased during COVID-19, reports of actual maltreatment showed varying trends. Similarly, evidence regarding the impact of COVID-19 on CM within the European Cooperation on Science and Technology and Network Collaborative (COST) Action countries remains inconsistent. This scoping review aims to explore the extent and nature of evidence pertaining to CM within the countries affiliated with the Child Abuse and Neglect in Europe Action Network (Euro-CAN), funded by the COST. Methods and analysis Key electronic databases were searched to identify eligible papers, reports and other material published between January 2020 and April 2023: PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Social Policy and Practice, Scopus and Web of Science. To cover the breadth of evidence, a systematic and broad search strategy was applied using a combination of keywords and controlled vocabulary for four concepts: children, maltreatment, COVID-19 and Euro-CAN countries, without restrictions on study design or language. Grey literature was searched in OpenGrey and Google Scholar. Two reviewers will independently screen full-text publications for eligibility and undertake data extraction, using a customised grid. The screening criteria and data charting will be piloted by the research team. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews will be followed to present the results. Results will be summarised in a tabular form and narratively. Ethics and dissemination This review will identify and summarise publicly available data, without requiring ethical approval. The findings will be disseminated to the Euro-CAN Network and reported to the COST Association. They will also be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This protocol is registered on Open Science Framework

Cognitive, Behavioral and Goal Adjustment Coping and Depressive Symptoms in Young People with Diabetes: A Search for Intervention Targets for Coping Skills Training

The aim of the present study was to find relevant coping factors for the development of psychological intervention programs for young people with Type 1 (T1) diabetes. A wide range of coping techniques was studied, including cognitive coping, behavioral coping and goal adjustment coping. A total of 78 young people with T1 diabetes participated. They were contacted through a social networking website, several Internet sites, and flyers. A wide range of coping techniques appeared to be related to depressive symptoms. Especially the cognitive coping strategies self-blame, rumination, refocus positive, and other-blame, together with goal adjustment coping, were of importance. A large proportion of the variance of depressive symptoms could be explained (65 %). These findings suggest that these specific coping strategies should be part of coping skills trainings for young people with T1 diabetes
