Hypothesis 3a: The stroke survivor and carer BOA will be internally consistent (calculated using Cronbach’s alpha). Hypothesis 3b: All stroke survivor and carer BOA items will show a significant correlation with the corrected item total i.e. all items will be related closely to the total score of the BOA (Corrected item total correlations). Hypothesis 3c: Each carer BOA item will correlate sign...

BACKGROUND More than 1 million cancer survivors reside in Korea. We here investigated activity limitations of cancer survivors compared to controls without a history of cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the 4th and 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2012) data, we identified 1,155 adult cancer survivors. Activity limitations were defined as limitation in activi...

BACKGROUND Caregivers play a crucial role in meeting the needs of survivors of stroke. Yet, little is known about how they are impacted by their caregiving role. OBJECTIVES To describe the relationship between survivor long-term unmet needs (>12 months) and caregiver impacts, and identify characteristics that are associated with reported moderate to severe impacts on caregivers. METHOD This...

In this article the results of research undertaken to explore the experience of therapy by respectively the survivor of armed robbery and the therapist of the survivor of armed robbery in the case where therapy is prematurely terminated by the survivor of armed robbery are discussed. A high percentage of therapy for the survivor of armed robbery is being terminated prematurely by the survivor. ...

Zombies and Survivor is a variant of the well-studied game Cops Robbers where zombies (cops) can only move closer to survivor (robber). We consider deterministic version zombie choose their path if multiple options are available. Similar cop number, number graph minimum required capture survivor. In this short note, we solve question by Fitzpatrick et al., proving that Cartesian product two gra...

We consider a new probabilistic graph searching game played on graphs, inspired by the familiar game of Cops and Robbers. In Zombies and Survivors, a set of zombies attempts to eat a lone survivor loose on a given graph. The zombies randomly choose their initial location, and during the course of the game, move directly toward the survivor. At each round, they move to the neighbouring vertex th...

A series of survivor cell lines derived by infection of B103 rat neuroma cells with active wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (M. Levine, A. L. Goldin, and J. C. Glorioso, J. Virol. 35, 203-210 (1980)) has been isolated. The survivor cells produced no infectious virus, yet they continued to react with HSV-1 antiserum for over 100 cell generations following the initial infection. The ...

BACKGROUND Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) support is effective in patients with cardiogenic shock or fatal arrhythmia due to fulminant myocarditis. The clinical courses of fulminant myocarditis are still uncertain; therefore, it is difficult to determine the appropriate time for discontinuing ECMO or converting to a ventricular assist device. The purpose of...

The growing population of adults living with a history of cancer in the United States mandates attention to quality of life and health in this group, as well as to the implementation of evidence-based interventions to address psychosocial and physical concerns at completion of medical treatments and beyond. The goals of this article are to document the need for attention to psychosocial domains...
