Objective Animal data suggest that exercise during chemotherapy is cardioprotective, but clinical evidence to support this is limited. This study evaluated the effect of exercise during chemotherapy for breast cancer on long-term cardiovascular toxicity. Methods This is a follow-up study of two previously …

Introduction Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer, as well as for patients with therapy refractory high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. However, 50–65% of patients undergoing RC experience perioperative complications. …

INTRODUCTION: An optimal relative dose intensity (RDI) of adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with better survival in patients with breast cancer. Little is known about the role of physical fitness in attaining an adequate RDI in patients with early stage breast cancer. We investigated the association …

A new book on the work of Suriname-born Dutch artist Remy Jungerman (1959, Moengo Suriname). In his work artist Remy Jungerman searches for an autonomous visual language that does justice to the cultures of the countries that define him: Suriname, the Netherlands and the United States. Remy Jungerman. …

BACKGROUND: As the number of cancer survivors is increasing, it is important to be able to offer exercise and physical activity (PA)-promoting interventions that are both effective and reasonably accessible. Internet-based interventions are typically less expensive and more accessible alternatives to …

Background Physical exercise is an intervention that might protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity. In this meta‐analysis and systematic review, we aimed to estimate the effect of exercise on doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity and to evaluate mechanisms underlying exercise‐mediated cardioprotection …

Background: We developed an Internet-based physical activity (PA) support program (IPAS), which is embedded in a patient portal. We evaluated the effectiveness and costs of IPAS alone (online only) or IPAS combined with physiotherapist telephone counselling (blended care), compared to a control group. …

Background: To use advanced medical technologies (AMTs) correctly and safely requires both specialist knowledgeand skills, and an awareness of risks and how those can be minimized. Reporting safety concerns aboutAMTs in home care can contribute to an improved quality of care. The extent to which a health …

Background: Advanced medical technologies (AMTs), such as respiratory support or suction devices, are increasingly used in home settings and incidents may well result in patient harm. Information about risks and incidents can contribute to improved patient safety, provided that those are reported and …
