Abstract:
To investigate the relationship between depression and the self-reported prospective memory (SPM) problems in breast cancer survivors who have received chemotherapy.Sixty-three breast cancer patients were administered with self-rating depression scale (SDS) and the prospective memory questionnaire as part of extensive neuropsychological assessments before and after chemotherapy. The performance of SDS and SPM were compared, with the level of significance set at P < .05.Compared with the group before chemotherapy, there is a significant difference on the SPM score (t = 6.069, P = .000) in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy. Further, there is also a significant difference on the SPM score (t = -4.348, P = .000) between the patients with and without depression group after chemotherapy.The present result indicated that the depression in breast cancer survivors after chemotherapy may be involved in their chemotherapy-induced SPM impairment.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
