Assessment in Long-Term Care [PDF]

Annual Review of Public Health, 2000
▪ Abstract  Long-term care has begun to rely heavily on assessment as a basis for determining eligibility and payment for services, as well as for planning needed care. Mandated assessments have been introduced into nursing homes and will soon be required for home health care and rehabilitation.

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Patterns of psychotropic drug prescriptions and general practice consultations among community-dwelling older people with dementia during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic

BMC Geriatrics
Background The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown measures had serious implications for community-dwelling older people with dementia. While the short-term impacts of the pandemic on this population have been well studied, there is limited ...

Cellular liquid biopsy provides unique chances for disease monitoring, preclinical model generation and therapy adjustment in rare salivary gland cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

The relation between resident-related factors and care problems in nursing homes: a multi-level analysis

BMC Health Services Research
Background Care problems such as decubitus and fall incidents are prevalent in nursing homes. Yet, research regarding explanatory factors on these care problems is scarce.

Health and Long-Term Care Systems for Older People in the Republic of Korea: Policy Challenges and Lessons

Health systems and reform, 2017
The Republic of Korea is experiencing a rapidly aging population with increased life expectancy and lowered fertility. National health insurance has provided universal access to health care for all since 1989, and mandatory long-term care insurance (LTCI)

On pattern matching with k mismatches and few don't cares [PDF]

, 2016
We consider the problem of pattern matching with $k$ mismatches, where there can be don't care or wild card characters in the pattern. Specifically, given a pattern $P$ of length $m$ and a text $T$ of length $n$, we want to find all occurrences of $P$ in $T$ that have no more than $k$ mismatches.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories predict survival in trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Evaluating Long-Term-Care Policy Options, Taking the Family Seriously

, 2018
We propose a dynamic non-cooperative framework for long-term-care (LTC) decisions of families and use it to evaluate LTC policy options for the U.S. We first document the importance of informal caregiving and economic determinants of care arrangements ...

Integration of single‐cell and bulk RNA‐sequencing data reveals the prognostic potential of epithelial gene markers for prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer is a leading malignancy with significant clinical heterogeneity in men. An 11‐gene signature derived from dysregulated epithelial cell markers effectively predicted biochemical recurrence‐free survival in patients who underwent radical surgery or radiotherapy.
