Abstract: Although clinical evidence suggests that an exercise training programme for patients with heart failure is a good for patients with heart failure, but the implementation rate is low. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of a self-care programme with home-based exercise training on compliance, physical function and quality of life in heart failure patients. All of the patients involved in the study participated in self-care programmes, and subjects were allocated into either a usual exercise (UE, n = 41) group or a cardiac rehabilitation group (CR, n = 30). For all participants, we measured the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class a total of four times during the study period........

Abstract: Breast cancer is a common condition that affects millions of individuals every year across the globe. The accurate staging of breast cancer is fundamental to management decision-making, but there is some uncertainty as to the value of imaging modalities in this context. Specifically, the role of PET/CT has been questioned by some authors, but may represent an important advancement in the field. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of PET/CT in the staging of breast cancer. Fourteen eligible studies were included and analysis demonstrated that there is good evidence that PET/CT can identify metastases and lymph node involvements in breast cancer patients. This may impact on staging and treatment decisions in many patients, although the exact justification for PET/CT use remains unclear and further research is needed to clarify this issue. Recommendations for research and practice are provided following discussion of these findings.
