What are the information needs of men to assist in making a decision about treatment when diagnosed with localised prostate cancer?
No full textProstate cancer was the most commonly reported cancer in Australia in 2012 with 18560 cases. For many men, prostate cancer is low risk with the tumour relatively small, nonaggressive, and entirely within the prostate. There is an abundance of information regarding active treatment options and the potential complications of each, including surgery, radiotherapy and other less invasive treatments, such as hormone therapy. Watchful waiting and active surveillance are terms that are used to describe the initial absence of active treatment, which could be particularly beneficial for those diagnosed with low risk localised prostate cancer. A recent report from the PIVOT trial in the USA has shown that there was no statistically significant difference after 12 years in the overall survival of men choosing watchful waiting over prostatectomy for low risk localised prostate cancer. The results of the PIVOT trial highlight the fact that many men now have to decide whether or not to undertake active treatment. Deciding on a treatment option can be complex and difficult at a stressful time. The information that men require to make such a decision is not well understood, and needs further research.
Heart rate response to exercise as an index of cardiovascular health
No full textConclusion: There was no evidence to suggest that rHRI differed between participants with or without ECG-detected ischaemia. The rHRI did not differ between participants who were beta-blocked and those who were not, suggesting that rHRI is not influenced by differences in SNS activity, but may instead be mediated primarily by PNS activity.
