A retrospective cohort study to determine the documented incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder in breast cancer patients treated at Boston Medical Center
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityPurpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of documented PTSD in adult breast cancer survivors treated at Boston Medical Center and the strength of its relationship to important PTSD risk factors.
Methods/Procedures: The cohort was defined retrospectively and a chart review was conducted.
Results: The results of the study support that adult breast cancer patients treated at Boston Medical Center are at risk for developing PTSD. Additionally, younger and patients with more co-morbidities are at highest risk.
Conclusions: These results underscore the need for both further descriptive studies and interventions aimed at early identification and treatment of PTSD in breast cancer survivors

Rooting and vegetative growth of hardwood cuttings of 12 pomegranate (\u3ci\u3ePunica granatum\u3c/i\u3e L.) cultivars
Commercial pomegranate production area has increased substantially in the western hemisphere due to increased consumer interest in the fruit. Low nursery inventory has caused many growers to propagate vegetatively their own trees and the availability of only a few cultivars is believed to have played a role in a lack of diversity in the developing market. âWonderful,â the industry standard for pomegranate in several countries, has been propagated in the United States for over 100 years, yet there is limited scientific information regarding how to most effectively propagate âWonderfulâ and other important cultivars. This research included two experiments. Experiment 1 evaluated rooting percentages and vegetative growth attributes of hardwood cuttings of twelve cultivars (âAmbrosia,â âDesertnyi,â âEversweet,â âGolden Globe,â âGreen Globe,â âHaku Botan,â âKi Zakuro,â âLoffani,â âNochi Shibori,â âParfianka,â âPhoenicia,â and âWonderfulâ) utilizing a basal dip in a gel formulation of 3 g·Lâ1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Experiment 2 evaluated auxin treatments which consisted of basal dip in water only (control) or a gel formulation of IBA (1.5 g Lâ1 or 3 g Lâ1) for hardwood cuttings of âWonderfulâ and two cultivars that rooted poorly in Experiment 1: âAmbrosiaâ and âGreen Globe.â Measured response attributes included rooting success percentages, dry root mass, leaf area, plant height, number of shoots, apical shoot growth, total shoot length, branching, stem diameter, and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value). âWonderfulâ and nine other cultivars rooted over 84% of the time using cuttings treated with 3 g Lâ1 IBA. Differences in plant height and branching could be detected early in production. The effect of IBA concentration on rooting percentage and growth attributes varied among cultivars. Cuttings of âAmbrosiaâ rooted best with 3 g Lâ1 IBA versus 0 and 1.5 g Lâ1 IBA, whereas rooting of cuttings of âGreen Globeâ was similar among IBA rates. Plants of âWonderfulâ had significantly greater leaf area compared to those of âAmbrosiaâ and âGreen Globe.â Stem diameter had no effect on rooting on any cultivar in either experiment. There were significant differences among cultivars in terms of chlorophyll content, with âHaku Botanâ and âLoffaniâ having greener leaves than âEversweet,â âAmbrosia,â and âDesertnyi.

âOrlovĂ© literĂĄrnĂ revoluce.â F. X. Ć alda a/versus ArnoĆĄt ProchĂĄzka (a ModernĂ revue) || âThe Eagles of Literary Revolutionâ: F. X. Ć alda and / versus ArnoĆĄt ProchĂĄzka (and ModernĂ Revue)
The development of a professional network, as well as long-standing disputes, among the most prominent representatives of Czech modernism at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries â F. X. Ć alda on
the one hand, and ArnoĆĄt ProchĂĄzka and the ModernĂ revue (especially JiĆĂ KarĂĄsek) on the other â
can be traced through several stages. First, 1893â1895, a period of mutual curiosity and emerging
factions, from the earliest meeting up to the formal manifestation of ÄeskĂĄ moderna, which was preceded by the establishment of the ModernĂ revue as first independent literary platform of the 1890s.
Second, 1895â1900, a period in which various trends converged in the connection of art to life and
society, and in a confrontation with other emerging, alternative concepts of modernism, namely
Synthetism. Third, 1900â1910, a period that looks back, from the strata of generational polemics, culminating in the controversy surrounding Ć aldaâs pseudonyms, to the accusation of KarĂĄsek in what
has come to be known as the anonymous letters affair. Fourth, 1910â1925, when each side declared
hostility towards, or simply ignored, the otherâs role in Czech modernism, from the conclusion of the
anonymous letters affair to ProchĂĄzkaâs death. This study focuses in particular on the two initial periods, on the roots of the polemic, and on key moments in the 1890s: that is, on the onset and gradual
differentiation of modernist literary creation and criticism in all its forms, on the transformations
and extremes of the polemic as the example of a genre whose essence is dialogue and misunderstanding in equal parts. While the polemic is often rife with personal attacks, it also tends to crystallize in a mirror that reveals the collisions and transformations of Czech modern aesthetic thinking, and that illuminates connections and transitions in the field of literary and cultural production
