Abstract Objective We developed an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), an automated telephone survey technology, to assess real‐time decision making about sun protection. We examined the feasibility and acceptability of IVRS in this electronic health (eHealth) context. Methods Melanoma patients who underwent surgery referred their first‐degree relatives (FDRs) for participation. Eligible FDRs were contacted twice daily (12:30 p.m.; 5 p.m.) over 14 consecutive days via IVRS to complete...

Abstract Objective Melanoma preventive interventions for children with familial risk are critically needed, because ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and sunburn occurrence early in life are the primary modifiable risk factors for melanoma. The current study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a new, family‐focused telehealth intervention for children with familial risk for melanoma and their parents. The study also explored changes in child sun protection and risk behaviors, sunburn...

Abstract Objective Short sleep duration is a common problem for both advanced cancer patients and their spouse caregivers. Sleep and distress have been shown to be interdependent in patient‐caregiver and spouse dyads, yet virtually no work has explored the dyadic effects of psychological distress on sleep in advanced cancer patients and spouse caregivers. The goal of the present study was to examine the dyadic impact of anxiety and depression on sleep duration in a sample of advanced cancer patients...

Abstract Background There is a growing recognition that medical staff members are exposed to job and life stressors that increase the risk of burnout. This study aimed to investigate the potential stressors among medical staff members working at a Cancer Center in Beijing and to explore the demographic, occupational and societal features associated with burnout. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) survey was distributed to all medical staff members,...

Abstract Objective Oncologists are exposed to suffering, loss, and death, which can potentially lead to grief reactions. Although grief over patients may be a natural consequence of the close and longstanding oncologist‐patient relationship, the empathy that oncologists feel towards their patients may put them at risk for compassion fatigue (CF). This study examined the mediating role of the two components of CF – secondary traumatic stress (STS) and burnout – in the relation between empathy...

Abstract Objective Prostate cancer is the most common invasive cancer in gay and bisexual men (GBM). Despite the unique sexual and urinary concerns of this group, studies of prostate cancer rehabilitation have primarily focused on heterosexual men. GBM also have high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which may be associated with lower health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). We examined the association between HIV status and HRQOL in a cohort of GBM with prostate cancer. Methods...

Abstract Rationale Sleep and respiratory problems are common in adults in the USA. However, sleep problems often remain undiagnosed in patients with obstructive airway diseases (OADs). This study was designed to examine the association between sleep problems and different categories of OAD amongst US adults. Methods We conducted an observational, cross-sectional...

Abstract Objective Autonomic dysfunction in patients with RLS has been described in some domains; however, detailed studies on this subject are limited and report conflicting results. In this study, we aimed to evaluate autonomic functions electrophysiologically and clinically in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Methods Fifty-two adult patients...

Abstract Purpose Disorders of arousal include confusional arousals, sleepwalking and sleep terrors. The diagnosis of disorders of arousal is based on the clinical criteria established in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, third edition, although the interobserver reliability of these criteria has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to estimate the inter-rater reliability of the diagnostic criteria for disorders...

Abstract It has long been recognised that given the high prevalence and considerable impact of allergic disease globally, there needs to be a focus on appropriate training for clinical professionals. The health‐economic consequences of allergic disease are significant, with both direct healthcare costs (doctor, nurse and dietitian consultations, hospital admissions and prescribed medications) and indirect costs (lost school and work time, reduced productivity and over‐the‐counter medications). There...

Abstract The symptoms of chronic urticaria, be it chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) or chronic inducible urticaria (CindU), are mediated primarily by the actions of histamine on H1‐receptors located on endothelial cells (the wheal) and on sensory nerves (neurogenic flare and pruritus). Thus, 2nd generation H1‐antihistamines (sgAHs) are the primary treatment of these conditions. However, many patients are poorly responsive to licensed doses of antihistamines. In these patients, the current EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/WAO...

Abstract Background The peanut allergens Ara h 2, h 6 and h 7 are potent allergens and can trigger severe reactions. Ara h 7 consists of three isoforms differing in their ability to induce basophil degranulation, whereas the ability of Ara h 7.0201 is comparable to Ara h 2 and 6 as shown in previous literature. Objective To identify linear epitopes of Ara h 7.0101, Ara h 7.0201 and Ara h 7.0301 recognised by IgE and IgG4 from patients sensitised to Ara h 7 and to investigate their potential...

Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases that is known to have profoundly negative effects on patient's quality of life.1 The majority of AD patients can be controlled with topical corticosteroids, but those with insufficient responses or who cannot reduce the potency/frequency of topical steroids to acceptable levels, will require treatment with systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs.

Abstract Background MicroRNA (miR)‐218‐5p is involved in cigarette smoke‐induced airway inflammation. In our earlier asthma epithelial miRNA profiling data, miR‐218‐5p was the top 2 downregulated miRNA. We hypothesize that miR‐218‐5p plays a role in asthma airway inflammation. Objective To unveil the role of miR‐218‐5p and its target gene in asthma airway inflammation. Methods We measured miR‐218‐5p expression in bronchial brushings of asthma patients (n = 50) and healthy controls...
