概括
治疗急性淋巴细胞白血病 (ALL) 的儿童的父母报告的疲劳水平高于健康对照组. 两组都经历了显著的疲劳,这表明需要对所有幸存者进行症状监测和有针对性的干预.
科学领域:
- 儿科瘤学 儿科瘤学
- 癌症的生存率 癌症的生存率
- 生活质量研究 研究 生命质量研究
背景情况:
- 儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病 (ALL) 治疗可能导致长期副作用.
- 疲劳是癌症幸存者的常见且经常持续的症状.
- 了解患者和护理人员对疲劳的看法对于有效的幸存者护理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了检查与健康的对照组相比,治疗ALL的儿童及其父母所经历的疲劳.
- 在治疗结束后的多个时间点评估疲劳水平 (3, 15 和 27 个月).
- 确定受影响最严重的特定疲劳领域 (一般,认知,睡眠/休息).
主要方法:
- 一项纵向研究涉及83名ALL患者 (4-16岁) 和他们的父母,以及53名健康儿童和他们的父母.
- 使用儿科生活质量库存-多维疲劳量表 (PedsQL-MFS) 进行数据收集.
- 在治疗后的三个时间点中,家长代理报告和患者自我报告的疲劳情况进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 所有患者的父母报告总疲劳和分级得分 (一般,认知,睡眠/休息) 显著高于对照组的父母在所有时间点.
- 与对照组相比,患者自我报告显示了一般疲劳的差异,在27个月后,总疲劳恶化,由认知和睡眠/休息症状驱动.
- 对于这两组人来说,随着时间的推移,没有观察到疲劳的预期改善,也没有确定人口统计学风险因素.
结论:
- 接受ALL治疗的儿童经历了持续的疲劳,影响了他们的生存率.
- 建议在治疗后的两年内增加对ALL幸存者的症状监测.
- 针对认知和睡眠/休息疲劳的干预措施可能对这一群体特别有益.

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue
2.1K
Muscle fatigue refers to the decline in a muscle's ability to maintain the force of contraction after prolonged activity. It primarily stems from changes within muscle fibers. Even before experiencing muscle fatigue, one may feel tired and have the urge to stop the activity. This response, known as central fatigue, occurs due to changes in the central nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord. While there is no single mechanism that induces fatigue, it may serve as a protective...

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...
