Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

334
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

46
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

72
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a significant health concern.
  • Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a prevalent and debilitating side effect of cancer and its treatment.
  • Understanding CRCI in NPC patients is crucial for improving quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of CRCI in NPC patients.
  • To identify factors contributing to CRCI in this population.
  • To explore the relationship between different cognitive assessment methods.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 367 NPC patients was conducted.
  • Data collected included demographics, cognitive function (MoCA, FACT-Cog), anxiety (SAS), and depression (SDS).
Symptom assessment
  • Logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors.

    • Main Results:

    • CRCI prevalence was 58.04% (MoCA) and 47.98% (FACT-Cog).
    • Objective impairment linked to longer diagnosis time (≥11 months) and older age.
    • Subjective impairment associated with female gender, rural residence, marriage, alcohol history, anxiety, and depression.

    Conclusions:

    • NPC patients are highly susceptible to CRCI.
    • Objective and subjective cognitive assessments identify different risk factors.
    • Tailored interventions and appropriate assessment tool selection are vital for managing CRCI in NPC survivors.
