Summary
Patients prioritize quality of life, financial impact, and caregiver effects in bladder cancer care, often beyond what experts focus on. Research should incorporate these patient-centered outcomes for better treatment decisions.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Background:
- Patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) aims to align treatments with individual patient needs and preferences.
- PCOR emphasizes studying treatment effects on outcomes most valued by patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current knowledge regarding outcomes prioritized by patients in bladder cancer care.
- To highlight the importance of patient-reported outcomes and unique patient priorities in bladder cancer research.
Main Methods:
- Literature review summarizing current knowledge on patient-prioritized outcomes.
- Analysis of common versus unique patient-prioritized outcomes in bladder cancer.
Main Results:
- Patients and experts commonly prioritize survival, but patients place higher value on quality of life.
- Patients uniquely prioritize financial costs, emotional well-being (anxiety, depression), and caregiver impact.
- Patient-reported outcomes are crucial but not all patient-centered outcomes are patient-reported.
Conclusions:
- Incorporating patient-prioritized outcomes, including those often overlooked by experts, is essential for effective bladder cancer care.
- The Patient Survey Network offers a platform to gather patient input on bladder cancer research priorities.

01:13Patient-centered Care
3.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

02:33Lattice Centering and Coordination Number
11.6K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

02:24Predicting Reaction Outcomes
10.8K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

00:58Center of Gravity
6.7K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

01:15Center of Gravity
2.2K
The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

01:13Outcomes of Glycolysis
107.2K
Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
