This is a quantitative descriptive study that investigates the kinetics of salivary CPA in order to minimize the risk of CPA exposure after outpatient chemotherapy. Another aim is to document instructions for the prevention of exposure in the homes of the patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy. Materials and Methods Subjects and SettingPrior to the study, approval was obtained from the ethics committee of Ishikawa Nursing University (project registration number 561) and the 2 facilities that carried out the chemotherapy for breast cancer.We enrolled 31patients (age: 54.7 ± 10.5) who had been diagnosed with breast cancer more than one month previously, had received one cycle of chemotherapy (FEC, EC, CAF, AC treatment protocol

is study was carried out to identify the factors in uencing a subjective evaluation of gait by female subjects undergoing total hip arthroplasty (herea er THA), and to understand the extent to which each of these factors a ects gait in these patients. A survey was administered to 112 female patients before and a er THA. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed using gait as dependent variable and factors in uencing gait as explanatory variables. e following factors were found to in uence the subjective evaluation of gait by female subjects undergoing THA: pain (=0.420), leg length discrepancy (LLD) (= 0.271), walking ability (=0.240) and self-esteem (=0.131). ese variables explained 57.9% of the variance. Findings from the present research THA

For both THA and SPO patients, gait self-assessments were significantly higher post-surgery. The pre-surgery gait selfassessments were related to feelings of claudication, a feeling about walking with the aid of a stick, and depression in THA patients. The post-surgery gait self-assessments were related to self-esteem, depression, public self-consciousness, and general health perceptions (GH) in THA patients, and overall GH in SPO patients.Conclusion: This suggested that assessing the gait self-assessment of female patients with hip osteoarthritis would help to provide psychosocial supports. However, there were differences in the psychosocial factors that relate to gait self-assessment. This suggests that it is necessary for care to be adapted to the period of time in relation to surgery and the characteristics of each patient.
