“…Prior studies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have suggested that the overall frequency of divorce in cancer patients (range, 5-17%) does not differ from that of well-matched controls in the general population. Our results are consistent with this observation, revealing an overall frequency of divorce (11.6%) in the 3 patient cohorts representing >500 patients diagnosed with serious neurologic and oncologic illnesses.…”

“…Some studies have in fact suggested that men are less able to undertake a caregiving role and assume the burdens of home and family maintenance compared with women.

The demand for increased formulation concentrations for protein therapeutics puts a significant strain on already existing tangential flow filtration (TFF) systems that were constructed with lower protein concentration targets as part of their design criteria. TFF is commonly used to buffer exchange and concentrate the product to the appropriate drug substance concentration. Analyzing the ability of an existing TFF system to process under conditions outside its original design specifications can be challenging. In this analysis, we present a systematic approach to assess the operational limits of a TFF process with consideration of system performance parameters for changing process targets. In two new engineering diagrams, the recovery efficiency diagram and the operating space plot, all relevant operational constraints and parameters are related to allow rapid process fit evaluation. The engineering assessment of TFF systems presented in this article allows a rational review of system limitations during process fit evaluations of existing TFF systems. It also provides a rational basis for targeted system upgrades and setting system design specifications for the design of new systems if existing systems are found inadequate. Biotechnol.

“…In fact, research has revealed that most couples adapt well and have sufficient resources to cope with illness (Dorval et al, 2005;Taylor-Brown, Kilpatrick, Maunsell, & Dorval, 2000). Most couples do not report a decrease in the quality of their marital relationship (Manne, 1998), and only a small proportion of couples experience difficulties or separation following diagnosis (Dorval, Maunsell, Taylor-Brown, & Kilpatrick, 1999;Taylor-Brown et al, 2000). In addition, many couples report a strengthening of their relationship (Dorval et al, 2005;Hinnen et al, 2008) and the occurrence of positive changes or relational growth after this experience (Weiss, 2004).…”

This cross-sectional study investigated the psychosocial adjustment of 70 partners of breast cancer patients by comparing their emotional adjustment and quality of life (QoL) with 70 partners of women without cancer. The role of marital intimacy in their adjustment and the moderating effect of group type were analyzed. The partners of breast cancer patients presented higher levels of anxious and depressive symptomatology; poor social, psychological, general and physical QoL; and higher levels of intimacy. The moderation analysis showed that higher levels of intimacy predicted lower levels of depression and anxiety and greater QoL only among the partners of cancer patients.

“…Es decir, por la manera en la cual acostumbraban comunicar y compartir sus sentimientos, por el grado de flexibilidad que mostraban en la organización y distribución de actividades y responsabilidades, y por las condiciones de respeto, indiferencia o agresión que ya eran una característica de la relación. Una mala adaptación conyugal en el momento del diagnóstico permite predecir una mayor probabilidad de experimentar dificultades a este nivel (102,103) . Por otro lado, hay autores que incluso sugieren que pueden ocurrir mejoras en la calidad de la relación, y una mayor aproximación emocional entre la pareja, después de un diagnóstico de cáncer (102,104) .…”

ResumenEl cáncer de seno es considerado un problema de salud pública, en la medida en que actualmente se presenta como uno de los factores más comunes de morbimortalidad en mujeres de países de todo el mundo, y de Colombia. Aunque se haya verificado un aumento importante en el número de sobrevivientes de cáncer de seno, la vivencia de esta enfermedad puede comprometer aspectos relacionados con la sexualidad, lo que implica atribuir mayor relevancia a los procesos de adaptación psicosocial, y a su impacto en la calidad de vida de estas mujeres. Este estudio busca evaluar los niveles de satisfacción sexual de pacientes con cáncer de seno. Para esto, se recolectaron datos de 100 mujeres sanas y de 84 pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de seno, en un hospital universitario en la ciudad de Bogotá. AbstractBreast cancer is currently considered a public health problem, since it is one of the most common factors of morbidity and mortality in women in countries around the world, and also in Colombia. Although there has been an increase in the number of breast cancer survivors, the experience of the disease may compromise sexuality aspects, which highlights the importance of the process of psychological adaptation, and its impact on the quality of life of these women. This study aims to assess the levels of sexual dissatisfaction in patients with breast cancer. For this purpose, 100 healthy women were interviewed and their answers were compared to those of 84 patients diagnosed with breast cancer, contacted through a university hospital in Bogotá. The Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) and the Supplementary Questionnaire Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ BR-23) were applied. The results showed significant differences in the level of sexual dissatisfaction in both groups (t (156) = 9.33, p<0.001), where the group of patients was less dissatisfied with their sexuality (M=24.6, SD=17.5), compared with the group of healthy women (M=46.9, SD=12.4). The treatments that are mostly CUANDO EL CÁNCER DE SENO NO SIGNIFICA INSATISFACCIÓN SEXUAL.

Marital Stability After Breast Cancer

Abstract: For the times studied, breast cancer does not appear to be associated with marital breakdown among Quebec women. Marital difficulties occurred mainly among the small proportion of women who probably already had marital difficulties when diagnosed.
